Dayton Salazar · Answer 1

After the adjustments stockholders' equity on 7/31 will be $20,184.

Explanation:

Journal Entries to Show the adjustments are as follows:

a.

Utility Expenses $568 (debit)

Accounts Payable $568 (credit)

b.

Wages Expense $1,648 (debit)

Wages Payable $1,648 (credit)

c.

Loan Receivable $2,400 (debit)

Interest Income $2,400 (credit)

To Determine Effect on Equity use the Accounting Equation : Assets = Equity + Liability.

Therefore, Equity = Assets - Liability

Effect on Assets = $70,000 + $2,400 = $72,400

Effect on Liabilities = $50,000 + $568 + $1,648 = ($52,216)

Effect on Equity (Total) = $20,184

Conclusion:

Therefore, After the adjustments stockholders' equity on 7/31 will be $20,184.
