Answer 1

Answer:

Stuart Manufacturing Company

Assets = $107,200

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Cash Account

Common stock $89,000

Furniture            (32,000)

Equipment         (40,000)

Salaries               (12,000)

Wages                (21,000)

Raw materials   (26,000)

Sales                   72,000

Cash balance  $30,000

Inventory:

Cost = $26,000

Units produced = 10,000 units

Cost per unit = $2.60 ($26,000/10,000)

Cost of goods sold = 8,000 * $2.60 = $20,800

Ending inventory = 2,000 * $2.60 = $5,200

Sales Revenue = 8,000 * $9 = $72,000

Assets:

Cash                     $30,000

Ending inventory     5,200

Furniture               32,000

Equipment            40,000

Total                  $107,200

b) An asset is something that brings in future cash flows to the business entity.  It is made up of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Inventories, Property, Plant, Equipment, and other business investments.  Assets are funded from finance provided by creditors and the equity owners, and they generate economic values.
