i know net income - expenses = revenue
? - 32,000 = ? | okay i think i might have it
assets - liabilities - capital stock = retained earnings
125,000 - 65,000 - 25,000 = 35,000
then
net income - retained earnings = dividends
60,000 - 35,000 = 25,000
revenue - expenses = net income
32,000 = 60,000
so 60,000 + 32,000 = 92,000
so the revenue would be 92,000?
right? |

| BALANCE SHEET BEG OF YEAR:
Beginning of Year assets - 125,000
beginning of year liabilities - 65,000
BEG Owner’s EQUITY = 125,000 – 65,000 = 60,000
BALANCE SHEET END OF YEAR:
end of year assets - 175,000
end of year liabilities - 55,000
END OWNER”S EQUITY = 175,000 – 55,000 = 122,000
Therefore, we know that Owner’s Equity increase by 62,000 during the year (122,000 now compared to 60,000 at the beginning of the year)
We also know that..
additional issue of capital stock - 25,000
dividends - 8,000
Therefore, of the rise of 62,000, 25,000 is do to capital stock, plus there was a decrease of 8,000 for dividends.
Therefore, we know that the Net Income was 62,000 – 25,000 + 8,000 = 45,000
With a Net Income of 45,000, Plus the expenses given at 32,000, we know that the revenues must be 77,000 |
