Operating expenses, except insurance, rent, and depreciation are paid as incurred. Rent is paid during the following month. The prepaid insurance is for five more months. Cost of goods sold is equal to 50 percent of sales. Ending inventories are sufficient for 120 percent of the next month's sales. Purchases during any given month are paid in full during the following month. All sales are on account, with 50 percent collected during the month of sale, 40 percent during the next month, and 10 percent during the month thereafter. Money can be borrowed and repaid in multiples of $1,000 at an interest rate of 12 percent per year. The company desires a minimum cash balance of $4,000 on the first of each month. At the time the principal is repaid, interest is paid on the portion of principal that is repaid. All borrowing is at the beginning of the month, and all repayment is at the end of the month. Money is never repaid at the end of the month it is borrowed.

Assets		Liabilities and Equity
Cash	4000	Merchandise payable	47000
Accounts receivable	41000	Dividend payable	17000

Total assets	124500	Stockholders' equity	?
		Total liab. & equity	124500

Answer 1

Accounting Equation => Total Assets = Total Liabilities + Total Shareholders' Equity

Total Shareholders' Equity = Total Assets - Total Liabilities

= $124,500 - [$47,000 + $17,000 + $3,000 + $36,000 + $970]

= $124,500 - $103,970

= $20,530

Therefore, total shareholders' equity is $20,530.
