Required for Section 2:
Indicate the net effect of these journal entries (i.e., combined effect of all four journal entries) on the following items. Indicate the dollar amount of the net effect and the direction of the net effect. (Example: $13 Increase, or $8 Decrease, or No Effect.) Hint: Prepare the journal entries.
Answer:
Net Effect | Remarks | |
Net Income | $81 Decrease | -$51 - $28 |
Total Assets | $45 Decrease | -$53 - $27 + $35 |
Total Liabilities | $1 Increase | $28 - $27 |
Retained Earnings | $81 Decrease | Due to decrease in net income |
Total Equity | $46 Decrease | $35 - $81 |
Working Capital | $46 Decrease | Due to decrease in assets and increase in liabilites |
Explanation:
Retained earnings are decreased as the loss is transferred to Retained earnings. Loss of $81 is deducted from retained earnings.
Formula for Working Capital = Current Assets - Current Liabilities
as current assets decreased by $45 and Liabilities increased by $1 it ultimately decreases the working capital by $46
