Note: FA represents financing activity, OA represents operating activity, IA represents investing activity, NA represents no affect and NC represents net change.

To determine

Report the amount of total assets that is reported on the December 31, 2016, balance sheet.

Explanation of Solution

Balance sheet:

Balance is the financial statement that reports a company’s resources (assets) and claims of creditors (liabilities) and stockholders (stockholders’ equity) over those resources. The resources of the company are assets which include money contributed by stockholders and creditors. Hence, the main elements of the balance sheet are assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity.

Calculate the total amount of assets:

$\begin{array}{c}\text{Total}\text{assets}\text{=}\text{Cash}\text{+}\text{Land}\\ \text{=}\text{\$49,000}\text{+}\text{\$53,000}\\ \text{=}\text{\$102,000}\end{array}$

Conclusion

Therefore, the total amount of cash reported on the balance sheet is $102,000.

To determine

Identify the asset source transactions and related amounts for 2016.

Explanation of Solution

Assets source transaction: Transaction that acquires the assets from primary sources of the business is called as assets source transaction. Assets source transactions increase the value of assets account, and increase the corresponding liabilities or stockholder’s equity account. The increased assets account is recorded with the debit entry, and increased liabilities or stockholder’s equity account is recorded with credit entry.

The asset source transaction are identifed as follows along with the related amounts:

Sources of Assets	Amount ($)
1. Issue of stock	30,000
2. Cash from loan	40,000
3. Cash from revenue	48,000
6. Issue of stock	20,000
Total Sources of Assets	138,000

Table (5)

To determine

Calculate the percentage of assets that were provided by investors, creditors and earnings.

Explanation of Solution

Stockholders’ equity to asset ratio:

Stockholders ‘equity to asset ratio is the ratio that measures the difference between total asset and stockholders ‘equity of the company. Stockholders’ equity ratio reflects the amount of assets that can be claimed by the stockholders in proportion to the value of shares owned by them.

Percentage of total assets acquired from investors is calculated as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Percentage}\text{of total}\text{assets}\\ \text{acquired}\text{from}\text{investors}\end{array})\text{=}\frac{\text{Investor's}\text{contribution}}{\text{Total}\text{assets}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=}\frac{\text{\$50,000}}{\text{\$102,000}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=49}\text{.0\%}\end{array}$

Note: Total $\text{Asset}\left(\text{\$102,000}\right)\text{=Cash}\left(\text{\$49,000}\right)\text{+Land}\left(\text{\$53,000}\right)$

Debt to Asset Ratio:

Debt to asset ratio is the ratio that measures the difference between total asset and total liability of the company. Debt ratio reflects the finance strategy of the company. It is used to evaluate company’s ability to pay its debts. Higher debt ratio implies the higher financial risk.

Percentage of assets acquired from creditors is calculated as follows:

$\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Percentage}\text{of total}\text{assets}\\ \text{acquired}\text{from}\text{creditors}\end{array})\text{=}\frac{\text{Creditor's}\text{ loan}}{\text{Total}\text{assets}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=}\frac{\text{\$30,000}}{\text{\$102,000}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=29}\text{.4\%}\end{array}$

Note: Total $\text{Asset}\left(\text{\$102,000}\right)\text{=Cash}\left(\text{\$49,000}\right)\text{+Land}\left(\text{\$53,000}\right)$

Return on assets:

Return on assets is the financial ratio which determines the amount of net income earned by the business with the use of total assets owned by it. It indicates the magnitude of the company’s earnings with relative to its total assets.

Percentage of total assets acquired from retained earnings:

  $\begin{array}{c}\begin{array}{l}\text{Percentage}\text{of}\text{total}\text{assets }\\ \text{acquired from}\text{retained}\text{earnings}\end{array})\text{=}\frac{\text{Retained}\text{earnings}}{\text{Total}\text{assets}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=}\frac{\text{\$22,000}}{\text{\$102,000}}\text{×100}\\ \text{=21}\text{.6\%}\end{array}$

Note: Total $\text{Asset}\left(\text{\$102,000}\right)\text{=Cash}\left(\text{\$49,000}\right)\text{+Land}\left(\text{\$53,000}\right)$

Conclusion

Therefore the percentage of total assets acquired from investors is 49.0%, the percentage of total assets acquired from creditors is 29.4% and the percentage of total assets from retained earnings is 21.6%.
