Cash $10,000 Inventory $31,000 Loan $26,000 Equipment $18,000 Revenue $103,000 Common Stock $143,000 Dividends $81,000 Expenses $46,000 Land $100,000 What are total assets?

A. $159,000 In this example, there are the following assets accounts- cash, inventory, equipment and Land. Thus, 10,000+31,000+18,000+100,000=159,000. Loan is a Liability account. Temporary accounts, such as Revenues, Expenses and Dividends will eventually be closed into Retained Earnings account (Equity account)

The balance sheet for Raymond Company shows total assets of $4,000, liabilities of $1,500, and retained earnings of $1,200. Based on this information, the amount of common stock must be:

A. 1,300 Assets=Liabilities+Equity, Equity section has two accounts Common Stock (CS) and Retained earnings (RE), thus accounting equation could be re-written as: Assets=Liability+ CS+RE $4,000=$1,500 + ($1,200 +RE ) $4,000 - $1,500 - $1,200 = $1,300=RE

calculate net income based on net income; Salary expense 21,200 Rent expense 5,400 Retained earnings 52,000 Cash 10,000 Advertisement expense 3,000 Service revenue 50,700

A. 21,100 Net Income=Total revenues-Total Expenses Total Revenue=50,700 Total Expenses= 21,200+5,400+ 3,000= 29,600 Net income= 50,700-29,600=21,100 Cash is an asset (appears on the Balance Sheet).

At the beginning of the year BobCat Inc. assets were $650,000, liabilities were $110,000, and common stock was $90,000. Net income for the year was 280,000. Dividends of $220,000 were paid during the year. What is the ending balance for retained earnings in 2012?

D. $510,000 End RE = Beg. RE + Net Income - Dividends RE ending-? Are all of the components provided? No, RE beginning is not directly stated in the problems. So, we need to find RE beg. first from the accounting equation. Beg. Assets .=beg. Liabilities +beg. CS.+beg.RE Beg. RE: $650,000 = $110,000 + ($90,000+RE beg) so Beg RE = $450,000 End RE = Beg. RE + Net Income - Dividends =450,000 + $280,000 - $220,000 = $510,000

A company's retained earnings at the beginning and ending of the accounting period were $100,000 and $120,000, respectively. Common stock at the end of the year was $90,000. If the company had dividends of $3,000 and revenues of $280,000, the amount of expenses must have been?

D. 257,000 R/E end =R/E beg+Revenue-Expenses-Dividends R/E end =Retained Earnings at the end of the period R/E beg =Retained Earnings at the begining of the period So, by plugging the numbers we have: 120,000=100,000+280,000-Expenses-3,000 Expenses=100,000+280,000-3,000-120,000=257,000 While Common Stock stands for the amount invested by owners, the Retained earnings represent earned capital for investors. Naturally, earned capital increases when the company is profitable (net income is positive, which in turns means that revenues are bigger than expenses). Also, each time the company shares the profits with owners in form of Dividends, there is less earned capital left within the company, thus Retained earnings go down. In sum, at this point, we cover only three types accounts that may effect Retained Earnings: revenues (make Retained Earnings go up), expenses (make Retained Earnings go down) and dividends (make Retained Earnings go down).
