liberstina [14]

Answer:

(b) After-closing balance in the Retained Earnings account on December 31, Year 1,

Total Stockholder's equity = Total assets - Total liabilities

                                            =  $220,000 - $66,000

                                            = $154,000

After-closing balance of Retained Earnings = Total Stockholder's equity - Common stock

                                                                        = $154,000 - $110,000

                                                                        = $44,000

(a) Before-closing balance in the Retained Earnings account on December 31, Year 1.

Net Income = Revenue - Expenses

                   = $40,000 -  $23,000

                   = $17,000

Before-closing balance of Retained Earnings:

= After-closing balance of Retained Earnings + Dividend paid - Net Income

= $44,000 + $3,200 - $17,000

= $30,200

(c) Before-closing balances in the following accounts:

Revenue = $40,000

Expenses = $23,000

Dividend = $3,200

(d) After-closing balances in the following accounts:

Revenue = $0

Expenses = $0

Dividend = $0

Because revenue and expenses are transferred to income statement and dividend are transferred to retained earnings.

MrRissso [65]

Answer:

Preston has to make four phone calls to clients today. The call to Mr. Miller will take about an hour to complete, the call to Ms. Winnecuit will take about five minutes to complete, the call to Mr. Drudge will take about thirty minutes and the call to Mrs. Freich will take about fifteen minutes to complete. If all the calls are equally important, who should Preston call first?

From the analogy above, in order to maximize the time frame. The call to lesser clients should be prioritized before others, this means that Preston should place a call to Ms Winnecuit which will last for five minutes follow by Mrs Freich which will last for fifteen minutes follow by Mr Drudge which will last for thirty minutes and lastly to Mr Miller which will last for about an hour.

Prioritization comes in play to time frame of each call, the lesser minutes calls will not take too much time to be completed while the call with highest time frame comes last as a result of the time involved.
