Explanation of Solution

T-account:

T-account refers to an individual account, where the increases or decreases in the value of specific asset, liability, stockholder’s equity, revenue, and expenditure items are recorded.

(a)The title of the account

(b)The left or debit side

(c)The right or credit side

Incorporation H&H generated net income of $23(thousand) in the year 2018

The net profit margin of Incorporation H&H is 14.4%.

Whether the Incorporation H&H is financed primarily by liabilities or stockholders’ equity:

Incorporation H&H is financed primarily by stockholders’ equity, where by providing stockholders’ equity for $125(thousand) with the total assets and liabilities providing for $43(thousand).

The invested amount of assets primarily come from stockholder’s’ equity of Incorporation H&H, because the stockholder’s equity (common stock) has financed $125 thousand of the Incorporation H&H’s total assets, whereas liabilities has financed $34 thousand.
