Answer to Problem 2APSA

Solution:

The amount of equity as on December 31, 2014 is $30,500.

The amount of equity as on December 31, 2015 is $41,500.

The amount of liabilities as on December 31, 2015 is $16,500.

Explanation of Solution

The amount of equity as on December 31, 2014 is calculated as below by using accounting equation.

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Putting values in formula for December 31, 2014 balances.

$55,000 = $24,500 + Equity

Equity = $55,000 - $24,500

Equity = $30,500

The closing balance of equity as on December 31, 2014 is $30,500 which will become opening balance of equity balance for December 2015.

To calculate the closing balance of equity as on December 31, 2015 the following accounting equation will be used.

Closing balance of Equity = opening balance of equity + owners investment + net profit - Owner cash withdrawal.

putting the values of 2015 in the formula,

Closing balance of Equity = $30,500 + $6,000 + $8,500 - $3,500

Closing balance of Equity = $41,500

To calculate the liabilities as on December 31, 2015 the following accounting equation will be used.

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Putting the balances in the formula of December,2015.

$58,000 = Liabilities + $41,500

Liabilities = $58,000 - $41,500

Liabilities = $16,500.

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Putting values in formula for December 31, 2014 balances.

$34,000 = $21,500 + Equity

Equity = $34,000 - $21,500

Equity = $12,500

The closing balance of equity as on December 31, 2014 is $12,500 which will become opening balance of equity balance for December 2015.

To calculate the Equity as on December 31, 2015 the following accounting equation will be used.

Assets = Liabilities + Equity

Putting the balances in the formula of December,2015.

$40,000 = $26,500 + Equity

Equity = $40,000 - $26,500

To calculate the net profit of equity as on December 31, 2015 the following accounting equation will be used.

Closing balance of Equity = opening balance of equity + owners investment + net profit - Owner cash withdrawal putting the values of 2015 in the formula

$13,500 = $12,500 + $1,400 + Net profit - $2,000

Net profit = $13,500 + $2,000 - $12,500 - $1,400
