From an accounting standpoint, stockholders' investment and revenues increase the assets of the company without adding to the liabilities. Therefore according to the equation (A = L + E), equity must increase.
Similarly, issuing dividends and paying expenses pays cash out of the company, which decreases assets without changing liabilities. Therefore equity must decrease.
Another way to think of it is: what contributes to the company's profit and/or value, and what decreases these things? Well, revenues and people investing in the company are good (and therefore good for stockholders), and giving cash out and paying expenses are costs to the company (and therefore decrease value for stockholders).
Answer:
Total producer surplus= $30
Explanation:
Producer surplus is the difference between the price a seller is willing to sell and the market price or actual price at which the item is bought. The producer surplus is the additional benefit the seller gets from a sale.
Consumer surplus= Market price - Price seller is willing to sell for
Marco is willing to sell at $15 hour
Kelly is willing to pay $30 per hour
Mike is willing to pay $20 per hour
Surplus from Kelly= 30- 15= $15
Surplus from Mike= 20- 15= $5
Total producer surplus= ($15*1 hour) + ($5 *3 hours)
Total producer surplus= 15 + 15= $30
Answer:
interest payable 66,000
note payable 384,000
Land 325,000
Gain on disposal 125,000

600,000 x 11% = 66,000 interest payable
the land is being used to settle the note along with the accrued interest at the time:
the accounting of Transit developments record the land at cost: 325,000
as the market valuye is 450,000 so a gain for 125,000 will be recognize.
450,000 market value - 66,000 interest payable: 384,000 payment on the note principal
the entry will write-off the interest payable, decrease the note by that amount and recognize the land gain on disposal
