Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Calculate net income
Net income = Service revenue - (Advertising expense + Utilities expense+ Salaries expense + Interest expense) Net income = $67,800-(8,700 + 4,200+67,800 + 1,800)$ Net income = $67,800 - 82,500=-$14,700
Step2: Prepare statement of stock - holders' equity
| Common Stock | Retained Earnings | Total Stock - holders' Equity | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at January 1 | $39,000 - 8,000=31,000$ | $24,500$ | $31,000 + 24,500 = 55,500$ |
| Issuance of common stock | $8,000$ | $0$ | $8,000$ |
| Net income (loss) | $0$ | $- 14,700$ | $-14,700$ |
| Dividends | $0$ | Let's assume dividends $d$ (not given in data, if we assume $d = 0$ for simplicity) | $0$ |
| Balance at December 31 | $39,000$ | $24,500-14,700=9,800$ | $39,000 + 9,800=48,800$ |
Answer:
| Common Stock | Retained Earnings | Total Stock - holders' Equity | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balance at January 1 | $31,000$ | $24,500$ | $55,500$ |
| Issuance of common stock | $8,000$ | $0$ | $8,000$ |
| Net income (loss) | $0$ | $-14,700$ | $-14,700$ |
| Dividends | $0$ | $0$ | $0$ |
| Balance at December 31 | $39,000$ | $9,800$ | $48,800$ |
