Calculate the amount of assets for Company C on December 31, 2011. (Omit the "$" sign in your response)

  Amount of Assets
$ 29,000 correct  

Explanation:
Company C:
First, calculate the beginning balance of equity:


Dec. 31, 2010
  Assets

$
23,680


  Liabilities


(12,787
)

  





  Equity

$
10,893


  










Next, find the ending balance of equity as follows:

  




  Equity, December 31, 2010
$
10,893


  Plus stock issuances

9,750


  Plus net income

1,100


  Less cash dividends

(5,875
)

  




  Equity, December 31, 2011
$
15,868


  









Finally, find the ending amount of assets by adding the ending balance of equity to the ending balance of liabilities:


Dec. 31, 2011

  Liabilities

$
13,132



  Equity


15,868



  






  Assets

$
29,000

  Assets
$
65,860


$

  Liabilities

(45,443
)


(34,944
)

  








  Equity
$
20,417



37,856


  
















Then, find the amount of stock issuances during 2011:

  



  Equity, December 31, 2010
$
20,417

  Plus stock issuances

?

  Plus net income

10,439

  Less cash dividends

0

  



  Equity, December 31, 2011
$
37,856

  







Thus, stock issuances must have been: $ 7,000

5.
Calculate the amount of liabilities for Company E on December 31, 2010. (Omit the "$" sign in your response):

  Amount of Liabilities
$  


Explanation:

  Assets

$
110,400


  Liabilities


(87,216
)

  





  Equity

$

$
?


  Plus stock issuances

Thus, the beginning balance of equity was $20,202.

Finally, find the beginning amount of liabilities by subtracting the beginning balance of equity from the beginning balance of assets:


Dec. 31, 2010
  Assets

$
101,010


  Equity


(20,202
)

  2. Shirts Unlimited operates a chain of shirt stores that carry many styles of shirts that are all sold at the same price. To encourage sales personnel to be aggressive in their sales efforts, the company pays a substantial sales commission on each shirt sold. Sales personnel also receive a small basic salary.

    The following worksheet contains cost and revenue data for Store 36. These data are typical of the company's many outlets:

    Per Shirt
    Selling price $ 40.00

    Variable expenses:
    Invoice cost $ 18.00
    Sales commission 7.00

    Total variable expenses $ 25.00

    Annual
    Fixed expenses:
    Rent $ 80,000
    Advertising 150,000
    Salaries 70,000

    Total fixed expenses $ 300,000
