5. What were total equities on September 30?

6. What was Net Income in September?

Explanation / Answer

6) We calculate net income as

We sold merchandise worth 20240

cost of merchandise sold = 10120

Gross profit = 20240 - 10120, = 10120

Also we are given operating expenses as

wages = 5740

Depreciation = 1800

Expired rent and insurance = 122

Total operating expenses = 5740 + 1800 + 122, = 7662

Net income = gross profit - operating expenses

= 10120 - 7662, = 2458

so net income = 2458

5)

Tootal equity at end of september = amount innvested by investors + net income earned

= 83000 + 2458,

= 85458
