Image
Given: Assets at the end = $6500 Liabilities at the end = $2000 Find: Equity at the end = ? As we know Accounting Equation , so we have:             Assets at the end    =    Liabilities at the end   +   Equity at the end               Equity at the end    =      Assets at the end       -  Liabilities at the end               Equity at the end    =            $6500                    -              $2000 Equity at the end = $4500

Assuming No Other Changes Except A Decrease In Assets Of $20,000, Increase In Liabilities Of $10,000, And Expenses Of $60,000

The Correct Answer of this Multiple Choice Question (MCQ) is (A) Owners' equity increased $30,000; Revenues Were $90,000 Explanation Of This Short Question: From Accounting Equation , we find change in Owner’s Equity and from owner’s equity formula, we find Revenues for the period (Assuming No Other Changes Take Place).         Assets   =  Liabilities   + Owner’s Equity  -  Expenses       -$20000  =   $10000  +  Change In Owner’s Equity   - $60000       Change In Owner’s Equity = -$20000 - $10000 + $60000 = $30000 Increase To calculate Revenues , we assume no other changes take place, so we have:       Net Income = Owner’s Equity         Revenues - Expenses = Owner’s Equity         Revenues - $60000 = +$3000         Revenues = +$30000 + $60000         ...

At The Beginning Of The Year, Logan Company's Assets Are $200,000 And Its Equity Is $150,000. During The Year, Assets Increase By $70,000 And Liabilities Increase By $30,000.

Answer Of Short Question We have:            Equity at the Beginning = $150,000            Assets Increased By = $70,000            Liabilities Increased By = $30,000           Assets at the Beginning = $200,000 Find: Equity at the End = ? Firstly, we calculate Change In Equity (increase or decrease) because after that we can find out equity at the end. As we know Accounting Equation , so we have:                            Assets                =        Liabilities      +         Equity                  Change In Equity       =   Change In Assets   -   Change In Liabilities       ...

At The End Of The Year, The Company Has Owners' Equity Of $100,000 And Liabilities Of $75,000.

Firstly, we find Assets at the end, then we know about how much the assets change at the year’s end. We know Accounting Equation :                        Assets   =    Liabilities   +   Owners’ Equity                        Assets   =      $75000     +         $10000                        Assets   =  $175000 Increase Now, How Much Change In Assets At The End Of The Accounting Period: Assets at the End             =    $175000 Assets at the Beginning  =  ($150000) Change In Assets             =     $25000 So, assets increased from $150000 to $175000 with an increase in Asse...

An Increase In An Expense: A. Decreases Owners Equity B. Increases Assets | MCQ Answer

Image
The correct answer of this multiple choice question (MCQ) is (A). Decreases Owners Equity as Expenses are less than Revenues and are necessary to earn profits for the business. So, increase in Expenses decrease Owner’s Equity . Example 1: Paid Rent Of $5000. What is the effect of this transaction on Owner's Equity? When the business paid rent of $5000, then we debit rent expense account and credit cash account. The rent expense affects the owner's equity as it is the result of operations of the business, so it decreases the owner's equity by $5000. Example 2: Paid Salaries to employees of $3000. What is the effect on Owner's Equity? We debit salaries account of $3000 and credit cash account of $3000. The salaries expense is also decreasing the owner's equity as salaries are paid to employees to run daily working of the business. So, expense accounts decrease the owner's equity or these have negative impacts on owner's equity but these are necessary to oc...

Revenues A) Decrease Assets. | Multiple Choice Question

Image
The correct answer is (D). Increase Owner’s Equity, as Revenues are greater than Expenses to earn profits, so it increases Owner’s Equity for the business. Example: Fees Earned $4000 during the period. What is the effect of this transaction on Owner's Equity? When the company rendered services to clients and received fees of $4000, then we debit cash account and credit fees earned account. The owner's equity is increased by $4000 as revenues have positive impacts on owner's equity. If revenues are less than expenses, then the business suffered a loss and this has adverse impact on owner's equity as loss are deducted from owner's equity. On the other hand, if the revenues are more than expenses, the business earned profits during the accounting period and such profit for the period is added to the owner's equity. So, revenues are positively related with owner's equity i.e., the more revenues earned by the business during the accounting period, the more th...
