Sankey, Inc., has current assets of $5,200, net fixed assets of $25,200, current liabilities of $4,250, and long-term debt of $9,400. (Do not round intermediate calculations.) What is the value of the shareholders' equity account for this firm?

Respuesta :

Answer:

$16,750

Explanation:

Using the accounting equation

Assets - liabilities = Equity

Total assets = $5,200 + $25,200

                    = $30,400

Total liabilities = $4,250 + $9,400

                        = $13,650

Shareholders' equity = $30,400 - $13,650

                                   = $16,750

Answer:

                                       $

Net fixed assets         25,200

Current assets            5,200

Total assets                30,400

Current liabilities        (4,250)

Long-term debt         (9,400)

Net assets                 16,750

The value of shareholders' equity is $16,750, which corresponds to the net assets of the firm.

Explanation:

The value of shareholders' equity equals total assets minus total liabilities. The total assets amounted to $30,400 while the total liabilities  are $13,650. The difference between total assets and total liabilities gives the net assets, which equals shareholders' equity.
