Question

Andrews Company currently has the following balances in their liability and equity accounts: Total Liabilities: $52,319,000 Common Stock: $8,808,000 Retained Earnings: $45,066,000 Next year the Andrews Company generates $11,500,000 in Net Profit, pays $5,000,000 in dividends, and total liabilities and common stock remain unchanged. What will their total assets be next year

Answer 1

Answer: $112,693,000

Explanation:

Total assets = Equity + Liabilities

Liabilities will not change in the new year.

Retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Net income - Dividends

= 45,066,000 + 11,500,000 - 5,000,000

= $51,566,000

Assets = (8,808,000 + 51,566,000) + 52,319,000

= $112,693,000

Note: Equity is the sum of common stock and retained earnings
