b. $180,000

Expert Solution

d. $299,200

We first calculate the amount of equity by applying the formula in the accounting equation

Assets = Liabilities + shareholders' equity

Clearing we have:

shareholders' equity= Assets - Liabilities

shareholders' equity= $315,000 - $215,000 = $100,000

we now calculate the profits that will be part of the shareholders' equity after the payment of the dividend.

Computer repair revenues $502,000
Expenses -$322,000
Less: Net Income $180,000
Less: Paid Dividens -$50,800
Profit added to Stockholders' Equity $129,200
Stockholders' Equity Eating of the year $100,000
Add: Profit added to Stockholders' Equity $129,200
Stockholders' Equity at the end of the year $229,200
