Expert Solution

a. Determine the amount of retained earnings as of January 1, 2018.

The amount of retained earnings as on 1 jan 2018 =cash +land -notes payable-common stock

                                                                                =$800+$3500-$600-$1000

                                                                                =$2700

b. After looking at the amount of retained earnings, the chief executive officer (CEO) wants to pay a $1,000 cash dividend to the stockholders. Can the company pay this dividend?

           Yes the retained earnings balance is sufficient to be able to pay off the cash dividend.Therefore the balance of the retained earnings after paying cash dividends

                             =$2700-$1000

                             =$1700

c. As of January 1, 2018, what percentage of the assets were acquired from creditors?

        Total Assets =Cash +Land

                           =$800+$3500

                           =$4300

% of assets acquired by creditors : Here we do not have debts in the company.So the % of assets acquired by creditors is nil.

d. As of January 1, 2018, what percentage of the assets were acquired from investors?

Equity Ratio =Total Equity/Total Assets

                    = Common Stock/Total Assets

                   = $1000/$4300*100

                   =23.26%

e. As of January 1, 2018, what percentage of the assets were acquired from retained earnings?

      Retained earnings/Total Assets *100

        =$2700/$4300*100  

       =62.79%

f Create an accounting equation using percentages instead of dollar amounts on the right side of the equation.

Assets =Liabilities +Shareholders Equity

          =Liabilities +(retained earnings+Owners Equity)

100% =13.96% +62.79%+23.26%
