I Need help with probably the simplest accounting question ever
Okay, I realize this may be the simplest accounting question ever, but for sone reason I can't figure out the correct answer. If you're given an amount in total revenue and an amount in total expense.. how do you find the dividend? And likewise, if you're given a dividend amount and a total expense amount.. how do you find the total revenue?
EX. 1)
DIVIDEND a.)________
TOTAL REVENUES: $215,000
TOTAL EXPENSES: $165,000
EX. 2)
DIVIDEND: $5,000
TOTAL REVENUES b.)_________
TOTAL EXPENSES: $80,000
Thanks for your reply.
