Question

Current Assets - 2015 - $316                       2016 - $450

Net Fixed Assets - 2015 $1260                    2016 - $1450

Current Liabilities - 2015 - $240                  2016 - $246

Long-term Debt - 2015 - $860                    2016 - $980

If company paid dividends  of $130 million in 2016, no stock issued, what was net income during the year?  How do you calculate?

My Answer: 

  • Add current assets + net fixed assets + paid dividends
  • 1,900 + 130 = 2,030 net income during the year

 

Expert Solution
Step 1

A balance sheet is the statement of the financial position which shows the balance of assets, liabilities and the shareholders’ equity of the company at a specified date.

Step 2

Compute the shareholder's equity for the year 2015, using the equation as shown below:

 

Shareholders equity=Current assets+Fixed assets-Current liabilities-Long-term debts=$316+$1,260-$240-$860=$476

 

Hence, the shareholders equity for year 2015 is $476. 

Step 3

Compute the shareholder's equity for the year 2016, using the equation as shown below:

Shareholders equity=Current assets+Fixed assets-Current liabilities-Long-term debts=$450+$1,450-$246-$980=$680

Hence, the shareholder's equity for the year 2016 is $680.
