Explanation / Answer
Assets as at December 31, 2013 = $777,270
Liabilities as at December 31, 2013 = $245,620
(a) Capital as at December 31, 2013 = Assets - Liabilities
= 777,270 - 245,620
= $531,650
(b) During 2014, assets increased by $122,810 and liabilities increased by $73,840
Hence, assets as at December 31, 2014 = 777,270 + 122,810
= $900,080
Hence, liabilities as at December 31, 2014 = 245,620 + 73,840
= $319,460
Capital as at December 31, 2014 = Assets - Liabilities
= 900,080 - 319,460
= $580,620
(c) During 2014, assets decreased by $61,400 and liabilities increased by $21,760
Hence, assets as at December 31, 2014 = 777,270 - 61,400
= $715,870
Hence, liabilities as at December 31, 2014 = 245,620 + 21,760
= $267,380
Capital as at December 31, 2014 = Assets - Liabilities
= 715,870 - 267,380
= $448,490
(d) During 2014, assets increased by $102,600 and liabilities decreased by $38,860
Hence, assets as at December 31, 2014 = 777,270 + 102,600
= $879,870
Hence, liabilities as at December 31, 2014 = 245,620 - 38,860
= $206,760
Capital as at December 31, 2014 = Assets - Liabilities
= 879,870 - 206,760
= $673,110
(e) Assets as at December 31, 2013 = $777,270
Liabilities as at December 31, 2013 = $245,620 Capital as at December 31, 2013 = Assets - Liabilities
= 777,270 - 245,620
= $531,650
Assets as at December 31, 2014 = $979,360
Liabilities as at December 31, 2014 = $159,340 Capital as at December 31, 2014 = Assets - Liabilities
= 979,360 - 159,340
= $820,020
Net income = Capital as at December 31, 2014 - Capital as at December 31, 2013
= 820,020 - 531,650
= $288,370
