a.Difference

b.Total assets

c.Operating income

d. Net income or net loss

e.Average income tax rate%

f.Retained earnings

Answer 1

a. Difference = Current assets - Current liabilities

Difference = (Cash+Accounts receivable+Merchandise inventory) - Accounts payable

Difference = $28,000+41,500+124,000 - 31,000 = $162,500

b. Total assets = Cash+Accounts receivable+Merchandise inventory+Land+Equipment-accumulated depreciation

. Total assets = $28,000+41,500+124,000+37,000+28,000-4,800 = $253,700

c. Operating income :

Net sales	$400,000
Cost of goods sold	238,000
Gross profit	162,000
Less: Operating expenses:
Depreciation	2,400
Rent expense	11,700
Total operating expenses	14,100
Operating income	$147,900

d. Net income:

Operating income	$147,900
Interest expense	5,400
Income before tax	142,500
Income tax expense	57,000
Net income	$85,500

e. Average income tax rate = $57,000/142,500*100 = 40%

f. Retained earnings, January 1 = Retained earnings, December 31 + Dividends - Net income

Retained earnings, January 1 = $152,500 + 27,500 - 85,500 = $94,500
