slavikrds [6]

Answer:

1. What is the amount of profit or loss during December?

$9,300

2. What were the total expenses for December?

$12,950

3. How much was paid for rent?

$1,220

Explanation:

we are missing some numbers, so I looked for a similar question. I found one that was almost identical, but the amount of initial paid in capital varied by a little bit. I still used it with the only difference that I used the given common stock, not the common stock that appears in the picture.

Common stock $29,750

retained earnings for November = $5,000

total assets = $56,150

total stockholders' equity = $38,300

retained earnings = $38,300 - $29,750 = $8,550

$5,000 from November
$3,550 from December

December's profit = $3,550 (retained earnings) + $5,750 (dividends) = $9,300

income statement = $27,250 - total expenses = $9,300 + $5,000 = $14,300

total expenses = $27,250 - $14,300 = $12,950

utilities expense = $12,950 - $6,450 - $4,625 - $1,220 = $655
