181. Use the accounting equation to answer each of the independent questions below.
(a) At the beginning of the year, Norton Company’s assets were $75,000 and its stockholders’ equity was $38,000.
During the year, assets increased by $18,000 and liabilities increased by $4,000. What was the stockholders’ equity at
the end of the year?
(b) At the beginning of the year, Turpin Industries had liabilities of $44,000 and stockholders’ equity of $66,000. If
assets increased by $10,000 and liabilities decreased by $5,000, what was the stockholders’ equity at the end of the year?
(a) $75,000 − $38,000 = $37,000 beginning of year liabilities
($75,000 + $18,000) − ($37,000 + $4,000) = $52,000 end-of-year stockholders’
equity
(b) $44,000 + $66,000 = $110,000 beginning of year assets
($110,000 + $10,000) − ($44,000 − $5,000) = $81,000 end-of-year stockholders’
equity
