Answer:

a.

1 March 2019 Purchases                                  $87000 Dr

                              Notes payable                             $87000 Cr

b.

31 September 2019  Interest expense                       $5075 Dr

                                       Interest Payable                             $5075 Cr

Explanation:

a.

The purchase of inventory against notes payable will increase asset-inventory and will be recorded as a debit to purchases. The credit side of the inventory will be a current liability of notes payable for the amount of purchases.

b.

The note is a 9 month note and the interest will be paid at maturity on 30 November 2019. Following the accrual principle, the note accrues interest over its 9 months period equally. So, on 31 September, the interest on note for 7 months will be accrued.

Interest for 7 months = 87000 * 0.1 * 7/12 = $5075

This will be recorded as an expense and a liability as it is unpaid.

Answer:

(a)

March 1, 2019

Dr. Purchases / Purchases     $87,000

Cr. Note payable                     $87,000

(b)

September 31, 2019

Dr. Interest Expense              $5,075

Cr. Interest Payable on Note $5,075

Explanation:

(a)

The purchases are made against the issuance of the note. The note is a liability for the business. As Inventory is received against the liability, so to increase the Inventory balance, we debited the purchases / Inventory account because it is an asset and has debit nature.

(b)

Only 7 month's interest is accrued on September 30, 2019. Expense is charged against a liability of Interest payable on note which is credited..

Interest on Note = $87,000 x 10% x 7/12 = $5,075

Umnica [9.8K]

Answer:

<em>A proprietorship has three important advantages: </em>

(1) It is easily and inexpensively formed,

(2) it is subject to few government regulations, and

(3) it is subject to lower income taxes than are corporations.

<em>However, a proprietorship also has three important limitations: </em>

(1) A proprietor has personal liability for the business' debts.

(2) The life of the business is limited to the life of the individual who created it.

(3) A proprietorship has difficulty obtaining large sums of capital so proprietorships are used primarily for small businesses.

As all company structures, proprietorships have both advantages and disadvantages. Although the advantages mainly relate to feasibility, the disadvantages are often overlooked. The main disadvantage is the total liability of the owner, which is detrimental if the business faces tough times, which lead to liquidation.

lapo4ka [179]

Answer:

$25,400

Explanation:

Equity which represents the amount owed to the owners of the business includes retained earnings (which is the accumulation of the net income/loss over the years less dividends paid) and common shares.

The movement in the retained earnings balance may be expressed as

Opening balance + net income - cash dividend paid = closing retained earnings balance

Cash dividend declared - Cash dividend paid =  Cash dividend payable

$49,000 - Cash dividend paid = $23,600

Cash dividend paid = $49,000 - $23,600

= $25,400
