11) Stosch Company's balance sheet reported assets of $40,000, liabilities of $15,000 and common stock
of $12,000 as of December 31, Year 1. If Retained Earnings on the balance sheet as of December 31,
Year 2, amount to $18,000 and Stosch paid a $14,000 dividend during Year 2, then the amount of net
income for Year 2 was which of the following? - 19,000
Explanation: If assets on December 31, Year 1 totaled $40,000, total claims (including liabilities, common
stock, and retained earnings) on that date must have also been $40,000. If liabilities were $15,000 and
common stock was $12,000, retained earnings on December 31, Year 1 must have been $13,000. At the
end of Year 2, the company reported $18,000 in retained earnings, a $5,000 increase. During Year 2,
Stosch paid a $14,000 cash dividend, which reduced retained earnings. Therefore, Year 2 net income
must have been $5,000 greater than the dividend paid. $14,000 + $5,000 = $19,000.

During Year 2, Chavez paid dividends to its stockholders of $2,000. Given that ending retained earnings

$12,500 = $4,500 + $3,000 + Retained Earnings
Retained Earnings = $5,000

Beginning Retained Earnings + $1,500 − $800 − $500 = $3,500
Beginning Retained Earnings = $3,300
