In: Accounting
Al Shea is the sole owner and operator of SawTooth Company. As
of the end of its accounting period, December 31, 20013, SawTooth
Company has assets of $925,000 and liabilities of $285,000. During
20014, Al Shea invested an additional $50,000 and paid dividends of
$30,000 from the business. What is the amount of net income during
2008, assuming that as of December 31, 20014, assets were $980,000,
and liabilities were $255,000?
a. $ 95,000
b. $ 65,000
c. $165,000
d. $725,000
I am confused here, because dividends should be subtracted from the retained earnings statement and investments should be on a cash flow statement. Please explain how to solve this.
