First time, I am using this hope can help me out for basic understanding.

My professor does not lecture even though she knows many things with experiences...

From ch5, income statement and statement of cash flow,

I am learning a Capri cal maintenance concept, and tried to apply it.

Example was calculate total income.

But, why do I need to know the changes of assets? Since income is measured between revenue and expenses?

And why it is plus? Capital distributed in dividends?

I understand, cash $10,000 was added cuz they put money in. But why is it less?

It should increase assets by $10,000?

I am totally lost. Help me please.

Applying this concept to a given period any additional investments by owners (e.g., proceeds fro dividends) during the period, plus t amo ending net assets, after any adjustments for additional investments b to sharcholders.3 mpany income would be computed as the difference between the be ginni rib y or dist Example: Capital Maintenance Concept Layla Company had net assets of $45,000 at the beginning and $80,000 at the the year, shareholders made additional capital investments of $10,000 during th and Layla distributed cash dividends of $2,500 to shareholders during the year. C ing the ending and the beginning net assets and adjusting for additional inves and dividends, the capital maintenance approach would measure Layla's total i as follows: Ending net assets Less: Beginning net assets Net change in assets Less: Additional investment of capital Plus: Capital distributed in dividends Total income for the year $ 80,000 (45,000) $35,000 (10,000) 2,500 27,500 %, S Alen de, "reo e Measurement na Dynamic Economy," Five Monographs on Business Income Economy.
