$33,193 | |
$97,593 | |
$149,023 | |
$305,991 |
Answer : Correct option is $33,193
Calculations :
Given total Assets increse by $55,000 , Therefor
Total Assets = Total Liabilities and Equity = 130,692 + 55000
= 185692
Retained Earning Balance Next year = Previous Retained Earning Balance + Net Profit - Dividend Paid
= 62384 + 44200 - 12000
= 94,584
Total Liabilities = 57915
Total Liabilities and Equity = Common Stock Balance + Retained Earning Balance Next year + Total Liabilities
Common Stock Balance = 185692 - 94584 - 57915
= $33,193
