Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

Net gain = $60,000

Explanation:

Given:

Sale value of house = $540,000

Adjusted value = $220,000

Selling expenses = $10,000

Gross profit on sale = $310,000

Maximum limit on gain from sale of house = $250,000(Form number 1040, Schedule D)

Computation of net gain:

Net gain = $310,000 - $250,000

Net gain = $60,000

What is the ending balance on the statement of changes in owner's equity for this data?
creativ13 [48]

The Owner's Equity statement illustrates the capital account changes due to contributions, withdrawals, net income, or a net loss. So Ending Balance of the statement of changes in Owner's equity will be; Opening capital + Capital Added + Net Income - Owner's Withdrawals.

A one-page report titled a "statement of owner's equity" compares all assets and liabilities to determine the owner's equity's overall value. The snapshot, which is tracked over a predetermined time period or accounting period, depicts the flow of cash through a company.

Owner's equity is simply the difference between the owner's initial investment in the business and any withdrawals made by the owner. For instance: A real estate project with a value of $500,000 and a loan balance of $400,000 would have $100,000 in owner's equity.
