Question

Consultex, Inc., was founded in 2015 as a small financial consulting business. The company had done reasonably well in 2015–2017 but started noticing its cash dwindle early in 2018. In January 2018, Consultex had paid $12,500 to purchase land and repaid $4,000 principal on an existing promissory note. In March, the company paid $1,300 cash for dividends and $1,200 to repurchase and eliminate Consultex stock that had previously been issued for $1,200. To improve its cash position, Consultex borrowed $4,300 by signing a new promissory note in May and also issued stock to a new private investor for $11,300 cash. Year-end comparative balance sheets and income statements are presented below.
