Question Two:
A. Presented below are changes (in thousands) in the account balances of Sha Company during the year, except for retained earnings.
Increase Increase (Decrease) (Decrease)
Cash $25,000 Accounts payable $34,000
Accounts receivable (net) (13,000) Bonds payable (20,000)
Inventory 52,000 Share capital 72,000
Plant assets (net) 37,000 Share premium 16,000
The only entries in Retained Earnings were for net income and a dividend declaration of $10,000.
Required:
Compute the net income for the current year.
Answer:
$ 9,000
Explanation:
Total increase in assets = 25,000 (-) 13,000 + 52,000 + 37,000
= $ 101,000
Total increase in liabilities = 34,000 (-) 20,000 + 72,000 + 16,000
= $ 102,000
Total increase in assets = Total increase in liabilities + Total increase in retained earnings
101,000 = 102,000 + Total increase in retained earnings
Total increase in retained earnings = $ (1,000)
Now,
Dividend distributed is $ 10,000
So, Net Income would have been $ (1,000) + 10,000 = $ 9,000
