If Retained Earnings has an ending balance of $9,700 at the end of year four, what was the average annual amount of net income (loss) over the first four years for Aikman

Respuesta :

Answer:

$3,642.50

Explanation:

For computing the  average annual amount of net income (loss), first we have to compute the net income which is shown below:

The ending balance of retained earning = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

$9,700 = $0 + Net income - ($2,420 + $0 + $1,440 + $1,010)

$9,700 = $0 + Net income - $4,870

So, the net income is

= $9,700 + $4,870

= $14,570

Now the average annual amount of net income is

= [tex]\frac{Net\ income}{Number\ of\ years}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{\$14,570}{4}[/tex]

= $3,642.50
