In: Accounting
Bramble Consulting started the year with total assets of $60500
and total liabilities of $15600. During the year, the business
recorded $47900 in consulting revenues and $29300 in expenses.
Bramble made an additional investment of $8900 and withdrew cash of
$14900 during the year. Owner’s equity changed by what amount from
the beginning of the year to the end of the year?
a. 2500
b. 12,600
c. 15,100
d. 44,900
a)Begining Capital is calculated as follows:
Begining Capital = Total assets - Total liabilities
= $60,500 - $15,600
= $44,900
b) Net Income is calculated as follows:
Net Income = Consulting revenues - Expenses
= $47,900 - $29,300
= $18,600
c)Ending Capital is calculated as follows:
Ending Capital = Begining Capital + Net Income + additional investment - withdrawal
= $44,900 + $18,600 + $8900 - $14,900
= $57,500
Owner’s equity changed from the beginning of the year to the end of the year = Ending Capital - Begining Capital
= $57,500 - $44,900
= $12,600
So, Owner’s equity changed from the beginning of the year to the end of the year is $12,600
So correct answer is option (b) or $12,600
