Chapter 1, Problem 1.1CTDC
Let’s examine a case using Greg’s Tunes and Sal’s Silly Songs. It is now the end of the first year of operations, and the stockholders want to know how well each business came out at the end of the year. Neither business kept complete accounting records, and no dividends were paid. The businesses throw together the following data at year-end:
| Sal’s Silly Songs: | |
| Total assets | $23.000 |
| Common Stock | 8,000 |
| Total revenues | 35,000 |
| Total expenses | 22,000 |
| Greg’s Tunes: | |
| Totalliabilit1es | $ 10,000 |
| Common Stock | 6,000 |
| Total expenses | 44,000 |
| Net income | 9,000 |
To gain information for evaluating the businesses, the stockholders ask you several questions. For each answer, you must show your work to convince the stockholders that you know what you are talking about.
Requirements
- 1. Which business has more assets?
- 2. Which business owes more to creditors?
