Explanation of Solution

Given,

The amount of assets is $59,000.

The amount of liabilities is $36,000.

Formula to calculate equity is,

$\text{Equity}=\text{Assets}-\text{liabilities}$

Substitute$59,000 for assets and $36,000 for liabilities,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Equity}=\$59,000-\$36,000\\ =\$23,000\end{array}$

Hence, the amount of equity of V Company as on December 31, 2015 is $23,000.

c.

To determine

To compute:

The amount of net income or loss of V Company as on December 31, 2015.

The amount of equity is $23,000 of December 31, 2017.

Stock issuance is $5,000.

Cash dividend is $5,500.

Formula to calculate net income is,

$\text{Net Income}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Equity at the end}-\text{Equity in the beginning}\\ -\text{Issue of stock}+\text{Dividend}\end{array}\right)$

Substitute $29,000 for equity in the beginning, $5,000 for issue of stock, $23,000 for equity at the end, $5,500 for dividend,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Net Income}=\$23,000-\$29,000-\$5,000+\$5,500\\ =\$28,500-\$34,000\\ =(\$5,500)\end{array}$

Formula to calculate equity is,

$\text{Equity at the end}=\left(\begin{array}{l}\text{Equity in the beginning}+\text{Issue of stock}\\ +\text{Net income}-\text{Dividend}\end{array}\right)$

Substitute $20,000 for equity in the beginning,, $20,000 for issue of stock, $40,00 for net income, $2,000 for dividend,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Equity at the end}=\$20,000+\$20,000+\$40,000-\$2,000\\ =\$80,000-\$2,000\\ =\$78,000\end{array}$

Hence, the amount of equity of W Company as on December 31, 2015 is $78,000.

c.

Substitute $73,000 for equity in the beginning, $18,500 for net income, $120,700 for equity at the end,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Stock Issuances}=\$120,700-\$73,000-\$18,500\\ =\$29,200\end{array}$

Working Notes:

Calculation of the amount of equity as on December 31, 2014,

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Equity}=\text{Assets}-\text{Liablities}\\ =\$141,500-\$68,500\\ =\$73,000\end{array}$
