    Nov 1st
    Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

    Accounts Accounts Capital Retained
    Cash + Receivable + Supplies + Land = Payable + Stock + Earnings

    34,200 + 40,000 + 5,000 + 50,000 = 16,400 + 10,000 + Retained Earnings

    84,200 = 110,600 + Retained Earnings

    110,600 = Retained Earnings



    Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity

    Accounts Accounts Capital Retained
    Cash Receivable Supplies Land Payable Stock Earnings Dividends

    Nov 1st 34,200 40,000 5,000 50,000 = 16,400 10,000

    (a) 35,000 = 35,000

    (b) 30,000 =

    (c) (4,500) =

    (d) =

    (e) = (9,000)

    (f) 2,800 = 2,800

    (g) = 31,750

    (h) 27,800 =

    (I) = 14,800 (14,800)

    (j) (1,875) * 850 * = (1,575) * 8,200 *

    (k) (4,250) =

    (l) = (10,000)

    Take your revenues minus expenses = Net Income minus Dividends plus Beginning Retained Earnings = Ending Retained Earnings.
