A corporation has 86000 in total assets 33000 in total liabilities and a 15600 credit balance in retained earnings what is the balance in the contributed capital accounts?

Respuesta :

Contributed capital will be $37,400

Total assets = $86,000

Total liabilities = $33,000

Retained earnings credit balance = $15,600

The contributed capital will be calculated based on the accounting equation;

Assets = Liabilities + Owner′s Equity

Assets= Liabilities + Retained earnings + contributed capital

86,000 = 33,000 + 15,600 + Contributed capital

Contributed capital = 86,000 − 33,000 − 15,600

=$37,400
