Here is what I came up with, Alexander Farms, Inc. Balance Sheet As of September 30, Current Year
Assets:
- Land: $490,000
- Barns and Sheds: $78,300
- Irrigation System: $20,125
- Citrus Trees: $76,650
- Livestock: $120,780
- Farm Machinery: $42,970
- Accounts Receivable: $22,365
- Cash: $16,710
Total Assets: $847,900 (Sum of all assets)
Liabilities:
- Notes Payable: $330,000
- Accounts Payable: $77,095
- Property Taxes Payable: $9,135
- Wages Payable: $5,820
Total Liabilities: $422,050 (Sum of all liabilities)
Equity:
- Capital Stock: $290,000
- Retained Earnings: To be calculated
Total Equity: To be calculated (Sum of Capital Stock and Retained Earnings)
Now, let's calculate Retained Earnings:
Retained Earnings = [Total Assets - Total Liabilities] - Capital Stock
Retained Earnings = [$847,900 - $422,050] - $290,000 Retained Earnings = $425,850 - $290,000 Retained Earnings = $135,850
Total Equity: $135,850 (Sum of Capital Stock and Retained Earnings)
Total Liabilities and Equity: $557,900 (Sum of Total Liabilities and Total Equity)
For Part B:
Assuming that a tornado destroyed one of the barns costing $14,000 and there was no insurance, we need to adjust the balance sheet to reflect this loss:
Adjusted Balance Sheet After Loss:
Assets:
- Land: $490,000
- Barns and Sheds: $78,300 - $14,000 (Cost of destroyed barn) = $64,300
- Irrigation System: $20,125
- Citrus Trees: $76,650
- Livestock: $120,780
- Farm Machinery: $42,970
- Accounts Receivable: $22,365
- Cash: $16,710
Total Assets: $824,830 (Sum of all assets after the loss)
Liabilities:
- Notes Payable: $330,000
- Accounts Payable: $77,095
- Property Taxes Payable: $9,135
- Wages Payable: $5,820
Total Liabilities: $422,050 (No change in liabilities due to the loss)
Equity:
- Capital Stock: $290,000
- Retained Earnings: $135,850 (Retained Earnings calculated previously) - $14,000 (Loss of barn) = $121,850
Total Equity: $411,850 (Sum of Capital Stock and Retained Earnings after the loss)
Total Liabilities and Equity: $834,900 (Sum of Total Liabilities and Total Equity after the loss)
This adjusted balance sheet reflects the loss of the barn due to the tornado, reducing the value of Barns and Sheds and impacting Retained Earnings. Did I do this correctly? are there any issues? If not please update this as you see fit.
