Response: $11,200
Justification:
Utilizing the accounting equation:
(Total Assets) = (Total Liabilities) + (Total Capital)
Thus,
(Total Liabilities) = (Total Assets) - (Total Capital) (1)
To determine total liabilities, we first need to ascertain total assets and total capital.
At the end of the first year, the assets of Shapiro's consulting services are as follows:
Cash: $16,000
Office Supplies: $3,200
Equipment: $24,000
Accounts Receivable: $8,000
TOTAL ASSETS $51,200
Note that total assets are calculated by summing the values of each asset above.
Net income represents an increase (or decrease if it's a loss) in capital, thus we classify it as part of capital. Specifically, net income at the end of the first year adds to the initial capital.
The owner's withdrawal also decreases the capital.
Consequently, total capital at the end of the first year is computed as:
Capital (beginning of the year): $15,000
Net Income (end of year): $27,000
Withdrawal Amount: ($2,000)
TOTAL CAPITAL: $40,000
Note: The notation ($2,000) indicates a deduction of $2,000 in accounting terms.
Using (1), total liabilities at the end of the first year can be calculated as
(Total Liabilities) = (Total Assets) - (Total Capital)
= $51,200 - $40,000
Total Liabilities = $11,200
Response:
The return on equity (ROE) would be altered by 8.52%
Clarification:
Initially, we determine the existing ROE utilizing the Dupont Formula, yielding ROE as follows:
ROE = Net Income/Sales * Sales/Total Assets * Total Assets/Equity
or
ROE = Net Profit Margin * Total Assets Turnover * Equity Multiplier
- Current ROE = 10600/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.0880 or 8.8%
The condition states that net income might rise to 20850 while other factors remain unchanged. Therefore, to find the new ROE, we compute the updated Net Profit margin, keeping the total assets turnover and the equity multiplier constant due to the absence of sales, assets, or capital structure changes.
- New ROE = 20850/295000 * 1.4 * 1.75 = 0.17316 or 17.32%
- The ROE would have shifted by 17.32 - 8.80 = 8.52%
Answer:
$146,150.00
Explanation:
Net income is calculated after taxes.
Here,
Sales = $820,000.00
Less: Expenses = -$540,000.00
Gross profit = $280,000.00
Less: Financial Expenses
Interest = -$36,000.00
Depreciation = -$59,000.00
Net profit before tax = $185,000.00
Less: Tax at 21% of $185,000.00 = - $38,850.00
Net Income (after taxes) = $146,150
Net income is always determined after accounting for tax.
$146,150.00
Answer:
-4 units
Explanation:
Applying the midpoint method, Blake's income elasticity of demand for generic potato chips is determined by multiplying the change in demand (D) by his average income (I), then dividing by the product of the change in income and average demand:
Thus, Blake's income elasticity of demand equals -4 units.
