Explanation / Answer

a. Calculation of the difference between current assets and current liabilities:

b. Calculation of Total Asssts:

c. Calculation of the earnings from operations (operating income) for the year ended December 31, 2016.

d. Calculation of the net income (or loss) for the year ended December 31, 2016

e. The average income tax rate:

Average Income Tax Rate = Income Tax Expense / (Operating Income - Interest Expense)

= 242,640 / ( 705,000 - 31,000)

= 242,640 / 674,000

Average Income Tax Rate = 0.36 or 36%

f. Retained earnings = Beginning balance + Net income - Dividends

427,640 = Beginning balance + 431,360 - 425,360

427,640 = Beginning balance + 6,000

Beginning balance = 427,640 - 6,000 = $421,640

Current Assets Merchandise Inventory 839,000 Account Receivable 189,000 Cash 136,000 Total 1,164,000 Current Liabilities Accounts Payable 93,000 Total 93,000 Difference 1,071,000
