Inspirational Inc. is a motivational consulting business. At the end of its accounting period, October 31, 2017, Inspirational has assets of $5,250,000 and liabilities of $1,600,000. Using the accounting equation and considering each case independently, determine the following amounts:
a. Stockholders' equity as of October 31, 2017.
5250000=1600000+ stockholders equity = $3650000
b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2018, assuming that assets increased by $800000 and liabilities increased by $330000 during 2018.
800000=330000+stockholders equity
800000-330000=stockholders equity
470000 + 3650000 = $4120000
c. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2016, assuming that assets decreased by $600000 and liabilities increased by $140000 during 2018.
-600000 = + 140000 + stockholders equity
= -600000 -140000 = Stockholders equity
= 3650000 – 740000 = $2910000
d. Stockholders' equity as of October 31, 2018, assuming that assets increased by $440,000 and liabilities decreased by $90,000 during 2018.
3650000 + 440000 + 90000 = $895000
e. Net income (or net loss) during 2018, assuming that as of October 31, 2018, assets were $6,140,000, liabilities were $1,950,000, and no additional common stock was issued or dividends paid.
6140000 – 1950000 – 3650000 = $540000
