Answer:
question 1.1
a.) The company calculated mistakely as follows:
Jan-08 | Cash | $ 10,000 |
Jan-25 | Asset | $ -6,000 |
Dec-30 | Cash (revenues) | $ 4,000 |
Dec-30 | Cash (expense) | $ -3,250 |
Net Income | $ 4,750 |
Here the company wrongly treated the capital commencement of $10,000 as income and the asset purchase of $6,000 as expense. it leads to the wrong income of $4,750.
