Workings:

i) Retained earnings = Income - dividend payable = $ 225,000-32,000 = 193,000

ii) Deficit in asset side is assumed as other assets

iii) Machinery = $ 50,000 + $ 85,000 (donated) = $ 135,000

iv) dividend payable = 30,000 (fully paid up shares) x $ 1 + 4000(50% paid up) * $ 1*50% = 32,000
