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

Answer:

The correct selection is option "C": $75.

Explanation:

The outstanding balance on a credit card shows how much the user has spent against the card's credit limit. It also indicates the debt owed to the issuing bank. Once the outstanding balance is cleared, the total credit limit becomes available again.

Therefore, with a credit limit of $800 and an outstanding balance of $725, the maximum amount the account holder can charge next month is $75 ($800-$725 = $75).

Explanation:

The income statement of Accel provides a brief overview of temporary accounts that are not transferred to the next accounting period. These accounts are utilized to measure the financial performance of the consulting firm, including revenues and the associated expenses.

The retained earnings statement of Accel illustrates the difference between the accumulated net income over the years for a longstanding business and the distributed dividends from this income to shareholders. For Maria Gomez's consulting enterprise, this statement indicates the remaining funds after dividend payments for December.

Finally, Accel's balance sheet is necessary to present the firm's financial standing. It displays what the company possesses as assets, what it owes in liabilities for unpaid services, and the equity held by the owner, Maria.
