A company had the following assets and liabilities at the beginning and end of the current year: |
Assets | Liabilities | |||
Beginning of year | $ | 230,000 | $ | 96,000 |
End of the year | 261,000 | 78,200 | ||
Common stock in the amount of $ 23,000 was issued and dividends of
$ 6,600 were paid during the year. What is the amount of net income
for the year?
Solution: | ||||
Net income for the year = $32,400 | ||||
Working Notes: | ||||
At Beginning of year | ||||
Equity = Assets - Liabilities | ||||
=230,000 - 96,000 =134,000 | ||||
At Beginning of year Equity | 134,000 | |||
At the End of the year | ||||
Equity = Assets - Liabilities | ||||
=261,000 - 78,200 =182,800 | ||||
At the End of the year Equity | 182,800 | |||
Hence, | ||||
Addition to Equity during the Year = At the End of the year Equity - At Beginning of year Equity | ||||
=182,800-134,000 | ||||
=48,800 | ||||
Now | ||||
Calculation of Net Income | ||||
Addition to Equity during the Year | 48,800 | |||
Less: | Common stock issued during the year | 23,000 | ||
Add: | Dividend paid during the year | 6,600 | ||
Net income for the year | 32,400 | |||
