(a) Compute the net income for the current year.

Answer 1

Solution:

Change in assets= 28,860-17,010+52,010+46,730= 110,590(increase)

Change in liabilities= 32,580-19,620=12,960 (increase)

Change in stockholders equity= 110,590-12,960 = 97,630

Net increase= 97,630

Change in common stock= 63,760

Additional paid in capital= 15,390

Net increase accounted for = 63,760-15,390= 48,370

Increase in retained earnings (net income)= 32560

Compute the net income for the current year.

Net income $32560
