Explanation of Solution

Balance Sheet: Balance Sheet summarizes the assets, the liabilities, and the Shareholder’s equity of a company at a given date. It is also known as the statement of financial status of the business.

Income statement:  It is one of the financial statements, which reports revenues and expenses from business operations and the result of those operations as net income or net loss for a particular time period.

Statement of stockholder's equity: This statement reports the beginning stockholder's equity and all the changes which led to ending stockholder's equity. Additional capital, net income from income statement is added to and dividends are deducted from beginning stockholder's equity to arrive at the end result, closing balance of stockholder's equity.

Statement of cash flows: it is one of the financial statements which reports the source and application of cash between two balance sheet dates. It shows how the cash is sourced and used for the company’s operating, investing, and financing activities.

Compute the missing amounts:

1. a) Compute net income for 2014.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Net Income =}\text{Revenue}-\text{Expense}\\ =\$400-\$250\\ =\$150\end{array}$

    Therefore, net income for 2014 is $150.

1. b) Compute common stock issued in 2014.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Common stock issued = Ending Common Stock}-\text{Opening Common stock}\\ \text{=}\text{\$8,000}-\text{\$0}\\ \text{=}\text{\$8,000}\end{array}$

    Therefore, common stock issued in 2014 is $8,000.

1. c) Compute net income for 2014.

    Net income for 2014 is $150 (refer requirement a).

1. d) Compute the dividends for 2014.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Dividends =}\text{Beginning Retained Earnings}+\text{Net Income}-\text{Ending Retained Earnings}\\ \text{=}\$0+\text{\$150}-\text{\$25}\\ \text{=}\$125\end{array}$

    Therefore, dividend amount for 2014 is $125.

1. e) Compute the total stockholders’ equity.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Total Stockholders’ Equity = Ending Common Stock}\text{+ Ending Retained Earnings}\\ \text{=}\text{\$8,000}\text{+}\text{\$25}\\ \text{=}\text{\$8,025}\end{array}$

    Therefore, the total stockholders’ equity for 2014 is $8,025.

1. f) Compute the cash balance for 2014.

    Cash balance for the 2014 is $11,000 (as given in the cash flow statement).

1. g) Compute the liabilities amount as on 2014 balance sheet.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Liabilities =}\text{Total Liabilities and Stockholders Equity}-\text{Stockholders'}\text{Equity}\\ \text{=}\text{\$11,000}-\text{\$8,025}\\ \text{=}\text{\$2,975}\end{array}$

    Therefore, liabilities amount as on 2014 balance sheet is $2,975.

1. h) Compute the common stock amount as on 2014 balance sheet.

    Common stock issued during 2014 is $8,000 (refer statement of changes in stockholders’     equity)     and there is no beginning balance of common stock. Therefore $8,000 is     the common stock amount as on 2014 balance sheet.

1. i) Compute the retained earnings as on 2014 balance sheet.

    $25 is reported has ending balance of retained earnings in the statement of changes in     stockholders equity. Thus, $25 is the retained earnings as on 2014 balance sheet.

1. j) Compute the cash receipts from customers.

    In the income statement, revenues are $400. As mentioned all transactions are the cash     transactions. Thus, the revenues are the cash receipts from the customers.

    Therefore, cash receipts from the customers are $400.

1. k) Compute the cash payments for expenses.

    In the income statement, expenses are $250. As mentioned, all transactions are the cash     transactions. Thus, the expenses are reported as cash payments for expenses.

    Therefore, cash payments for expenses are $250.

1. l) Compute the expenses for 2015.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{ Expense}\text{ =}\text{Revenue}-\text{Net Income}\\ =\$500-\$100\\ =\$400\end{array}$

    Therefore, expenses for 2015 are $400.

1. m) Compute the beginning common stock for 2015

    Ending common stock of 2014 is the beginning common stock of the 2015. Thus, the     beginning common stock of 2015 is $8,000.

1. n) Compute the ending retained earnings of 2015.

    2014’s ending retained earnings $25 is the beginning retained earnings of 2015.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Ending Retained Earnings =}\text{Beginning}\text{Retained Earnings}+\text{Net Income}-\text{Dividends}\\ \text{=}\$25+\text{\$100}-\text{\$50}\\ \text{=}\$75\end{array}$

    Therefore, ending retained earnings for 2015 is $75.

1. o) Compute the cash balance as on 2015 balance sheet.

    Cash balance for the 2015 is $6,650 (as given in the cash flow statement of 2015).

1. p) Compute the land balance as on 2015 balance sheet.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{ Land}\text{ =}\text{Total Assets}-\text{Cash balance}\\ =\$11,650-\$6,650\\ =\$5,000\end{array}$

    Therefore, land balance as on 2015 balance sheet is $5,000.

1. q) Compute the liabilities as on 2015 balance sheet.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Liabilities =}\text{Total Liabilities and Stockholders Equity}-\text{Stockholders'}\text{Equity}\\ \text{=}\text{\$11,650}-\text{\$9,175}\\ \text{=}\text{\$2,475}\end{array}$

    Therefore, liabilities amount as on 2015 balance sheet is $2,475.

1. r) Compute the common stock as on 2015 balance sheet.

    Ending balance of common stock in the statement of changes in stockholders equity is     $9,100.  It is reported as a common stock as on balance sheet of 2015

1. s) Compute the Ending common stock of 2016’s statement of changes in the stockholders’ equity.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Ending Common Stock}\text{= }\text{Beginning Common stock}+\text{Common stock issued}\\ \text{=}\text{\$9,100}-\text{\$310}\\ \text{=}\text{\$9,410}\end{array}$

    Therefore, ending common stock for 2016 is $9,410.

1. t) Compute the total stockholders’ equity as on 2016 balance sheet.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Total Stockholders’ Equity = Ending Common Stock}\text{+ Ending Retained Earnings}\\ \text{=}\text{\$9,410}\text{+}\text{\$300}\\ \text{=}\text{\$9,710}\end{array}$

    Therefore, the total stockholders’ equity for 2016 is $9,710.

1. u) Compute the cash balance for 2016 balance sheet.

    Cash balance for the 2016 is $8,050 (as given in the cash flow statement).

1. v) Compute the cash receipts from customers.

    In the income statement, revenues are $800. As mentioned all transactions are the cash     transactions. Thus, the revenues are the cash receipts from the customers.

    Therefore, cash receipts from the customers are $800.

1. w) Compute the cash payments for expenses.

    In the income statement, expenses are $425. As mentioned, all transactions are the cash     transactions. Thus, the expenses are reported as cash payments for expenses.

    Therefore, cash payments for expenses are $425.

1. x) Compute the cash payment to reduce debt in 2016.

    $\begin{array}{c}\text{Cash payment to reduce debt = Liabilities in Year 2017 – Liabilities in Year 2018}\\ \text{=}\text{\$2,475}-\text{\$840}\\ =\$1,635\end{array}$

    Therefore, $1,635 is the cash payment to reduce debt in 2016.

1. y) Compute the cash receipt from issue of common stock.

    During the 2016, $310 additional common stock issued for cash (refer statements of     changes in the shareholders’ equity of 2016).

    Therefore, cash receipt from issue of common stock is $310.

1. z) Compute the cash payment for dividends.

    During the 2016, $150 divided paid for cash (refer statements of changes in the     shareholders’ equity of 2016).

    Therefore, cash payment for dividend is $150.
