Working:
Cash = Total assets - Supplies - Land - $54650 - 7600 - 16000 = $31050 |
Total liabilities and stockholders' equity = Total assets = $54650 |
Total liabilities (Accounts Payable) = Total liabilities and stockholders' equity - Total stockholders' equity = $54650 - $39785 = $14865 |
Retained earnings (ending) = Total stockholders' equity - Common stock = $39785 - $30500 = $9285 |
Retained earnings (ending) = Retained earnings (beginning) + Net income - Dividends |
$9285 = $5000 + Net income - $5500 |
Net income = $9285 + $5500 - $5000 = $9785 |
Total expense = Fees earned - Net income = $27750 - $9785 = $17965 |
Rent expense = Total expense - Wages - Supplies - Utilities - Misc. = $17965 - 6375 - 4675 - 1250 - 415 = $5250 |
