You don't need the name of the expense accounts if that is what you are meaning. You have all that you need in the question to answer it. Give it a try and we will help you from there.

(accounting equation) Coca-Cola is famous worldwide for soft drinks. At the end of 20x1, Coca Cola had total assets of $22 billion and liabilities totaling $11 billion.
Required

1 Write the company’s accounting equation, and label each amount as a debit or a credit.

Debit (Dr.) Assets 22B = Credit (Cr.) Liabilities 11B + Cr. Owner’s Equity (or Shareholder’s Equity) 11B



2 Coca-Cola’s total revenues for 20x1 were $20 billion, and total expense for the year were $16 billion. How much was Coca-Cola’s net income and indicate which element is a debit and which is a credit. Does net income represent a net debit or a net credit? Does net loss represent a net debit or net credit?

Revenues 20 B
Expenses 16 B
Net Income = Revenue – Expenses = 4 B

Revenues = Credit
Expenses = Debit
Net Income = Credit (if a net loss, would be debit balance)



3 During 20x1 the owners of Coca Cola withdrew $2 billion in the form of dividends (same as owner Withdrawals). Did the dividends represent a debit or a credit?:

Dividends are a debit, since they come out of equity which is normally a credit. So to lower a credit, account, you debit it.
