Answer 1

Answer:

ABC Services

The total liabilities at the end of September, 2013

= $9,000

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Capital contribution = $23,500

Equipment = $11,500

Cash payment for equipment = $2,500

Note payable on equipment = $9,000

Insurance expense paid = $1,350

Utility expense paid = $980

Rent paid = $2,000

Sales = $12,000

Cash Sales = $7,200 (60% of $12,000)

Credit Sales = $4,800 (40% of $12,000)

Office furniture paid = $9,700

Therefore, total liabilities at the end of September, 2013 = $9,000.  This represents the note payable for the office equipment purchased in B.
