1. 16910 + 7620 = 24530 which is 24530 = 0 + 16910 2. Which then becomes 24530 = 7620 + 16910 3. Purchase asset w/cash does nothing to equation as equipment is an asset like cash 24530 = 7620 + 16910 4. 24530 + 298200 rev = 322730 and 298200 + 16910 = 315110 which becomes 322730 = 7620 + 315110 5. Expenses – Stock Equity 315110 – 210900 = 104210 which becomes 11830 = 7620 + 104210 6. Dividends – Stock Equity 104210 – 14400 = 89810 which becomes 97430 = 89810 + 7620
1. Match each of the following scenarios with the accounting principle or accounting assumption that it best illustrates. Monetary unit assumption Time period assumption Business entity assumption Going concern assumption Measurement principle Historical cost principle Revenue recognition principle Expense recognition principle Scenario
Accounting
Principle or Assumption
Despite several years of falling sales, Thomas Company continues to forecast Going concern assumption sales and make strategic plans to raise revenues and cut expenses. Several years after Thomas Company purchased new office equipment, the company’s accounting records still show the original purchase price.
Historical cost principle
The accounting records of Thomas Company are in dollars, not euros, although the Ohio-based company is owned by a German firm.
Monetary unit assumption
The home of Rob Elliot, the owner of GGE Enterprises Inc., is not listed among the company’s assets.
Business entity assumption
Thomas Company provides earnings information to investors at the end of every quarter.
Time period assumption
Thomas Company records sales for the month along with the expenses incurred to produce the sales.
Although GGE Enterprises Inc. received a good deal on a used truck, the amount recorded in the accounting records is the amount the company paid, not the amount the truck was actually worth. GGE Enterprises records a deposit received from a customer for work to be performed later in the month. The customer is billed for the remaining amount after the work is complete, and the customer’s payment is recorded.
Expense recognition principle
Measurement principle
Revenue recognition principle
Thomas Company has decided to purchase a company vehicle. The accountant was given all of the purchase details. Which should be used to record the vehicle in the accounting records? The average selling price of similar vehicles in the area. The amount of the loan with the bank. The manufacturer’s suggested retail price (MSRP). The price negotiated with the dealer. A business will construct its financial statements in a particular order because they are interrelated. This means that items formulated in an earlier statement feed into the subsequent statements, and changes to items on one financial statement can have compounding effects on the overall financial position of a company. Which of the following is one reason the retained earnings statement is prepared after the income statement? Net income is part of the computation for ending retained earnings. Which of the following is one reason the retained earnings statement is prepared before the balance sheet? Ending retained earnings must be computed for the balance sheet.
On November 1 of the current year, Rob Elliot invested $30,000.00 of his cash to form a corporation, GGE Enterprises Inc., in exchange for shares of common stock. No other common stock was issued during November or December. After a very successful first month of operations, the retained earnings as of November 30 were reported at $5,000.00. After all transactions have been entered into the accounting equation for the month of December, the ending balances for selected items on December 31 follow. On that date, the financial statements were prepared. The balance sheet reported total assets of $55,650.00 and total stockholders' equity of $38,000.00. Fees earned – Total expenses = Net Income 26,750 – 18,000 = 8,750 Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity 55,650 = ? + 38,000 ? = 17,650 Liabilities What is the amount reported for total liabilities and stockholders’ equity on December 31? 17,650 + 38,000 = 55,650 Balance Sheet What is the retained earnings amount reported on December 31? 8,000 Retained Earnings Statement Liabilities – Assets = Stockholders’ Equity then Stockholders’ Equity – Common Stock 17,650 – 55,650 = 38,000 38,000 – 30,000 = 8,000 How much does GGE Enterprises Inc. owe to its creditors? 17,650 Balance Sheet How much cash is being held by GGE Enterprises Inc.? 30,550 Balance Sheet By what amount did retained earnings increase or decrease during the period? 3,000 Retained Earnings Statement What is the amount of profit or loss during December? 8,750 Income Statement What were the total expenses for December? 18,000 Income Statement How much was paid for wages? 5,225 Income Statement

Accounting Equation
Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity
Jan Petri is the stockholder and operator of Galaxy LLC, a motivational consulting business. At the end of its accounting period, December 31, 2017, Galaxy has assets of $686,000 and liabilities of $165,000. Using the accounting equation, determine the following amounts:
a. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2017. $
521000
686,000 = 165,000 + 521,000
b. Stockholders' equity as of December 31, 2018, assuming that assets increased by $130,000 and liabilities decreased by $40,000 during 2018. $
691000
816,000 = 125,000 + 691,000
685000 = 164000 + 521000 555000 = 125000 + 430000
