Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1.

Beginning Equity = Beginning Assets – Beginning Liabilities

= $27,000 - $16,000

= $11,000

2.

Ending Equity = Ending Assets – Ending Liabilities

= $61,000 - $25,000

= $36,000

3.

Increase in Equity = Ending Equity – Beginning Equity

= $36,000 - 11,000

= $25,000

Now

Increase in Equity = Issue of Common Stock + Net Income - Dividend

$25,000 = $5,300 + Net Income - $44,200

Net Income = $63,900

4.

Increase in Equity = Issue of Common Stock + Net Income - Dividend

$25,000 = Issue of Common Stock + $3,800 - $6,600

Issue of Common Stock = $27,800

5.

Increase in Equity = Issue of Common Stock + Net Income – Dividend

$25,000 = $17,200 + $19,600 - Dividend

Dividend = $11,800

6.

Increase in Equity = Issue of Common Stock + Net Income – Dividend

$25,000 = $42,900 + Net Income - $3,100

Net Income (loss) = -$14,800
