1. Sam Smith is the sole stockholder and operator of Smiths Catering Company.
At the end of the accounting period, December 31, 2000, Sams Catering has
assets of $135,000 and liabilities of $72,000.

Required: Using the accounting equation and considering each case
independently, determine the following amounts:

a. Stockholders equity on 12/31/2000.

b. The amount and direction (increase or decrease) of the periods
change in stockholders equity if, during 2001, assets decreased by
$22,000 and liabilities decreased by $7,000.
c. Net income (or net loss) during 2001, assuming that as of December
31, 2001, assets were $148,000, liabilities were $75,000, capital stock
of $25,000 was issued and dividends of $12,000 were paid.

Solution # 1:

Net income (or net loss) during 2001, assuming that as of December 31, 2001, assets
were $148,000, liabilities were $75,000, capital stock of $25,000 was issued, and
dividends of $12,000 were paid
a) Assets = Liabilities + Owners Equity
$135,000 = $72,000 + ?
135,000 = 72,000 + 63,000

b) Change in 2001 -22,000 = -7,000 + ?
-22,000 = -7,000 + -15,000

c) Step 1: solve for 12/31/2001 equity
12/31/2001 $148,000 = $75,000 + ?
148,000 = 75,000 + 73,000
12/31/2000 135,000 = 72,000 + 63,000
Change in 2001 $13,000 = $3,000 + $10,000

Step 2: solve for net income
Capital stock - Dividends + Net Income = Change in Equity
$25,000 - -12,000 + ? $10,000
Net Loss = $3,000 = 10,000 - 25,000 +12,000

16. (5 pts) Why is the debt to equity ratio important? What does it mean if a
business has a ratio of 3.5 and -3.5?

Debt to equity measures how much debt a company has compared to its
equity. That means it looks at how much the company owes and divides it by
the firm's equity. (Equity is just the opposite of debt -- it is ownership,
including shares of stock in a corporation.)

To state it another way, the ratio compares long-term funds provided by
creditors with funds provided by owners -- what a company owes versus the
amount of money it has invested in it. It indicates what portion or percentage
of equity and what portion or percentage of debt the company is using to
finance its business.

The formula for the debt to equity ratio is total liabilities divided by total
equity. The debt to equity ratio is a financial leverage ratio. Financial
leverage ratios are used to measure a company's ability to handle its long
term and short term obligations. Considering that a company's assets or
value is comprised of liabilities plus equity, the debt to equity ratio contrasts
these two variables to show a company's leverage position. As a company
increases their leverage or debt, they are considered a higher risk. This
higher risk and debt to equity ratio is discussed in the following section.

A high debt/equity ratio (3.5) means that the company has been "aggressive"
in financing its growth with debt and that it is carrying a sizable amount of
interest expense.

A ratio greater than 1 means assets are mainly financed with debt; a ratio
less than one (-3.5) means equity provides the majority of the financing.

Ideally, you want to invest in a company where the total debt to equity figure
is low -- below .50. However, there are many well-run companies that have a
ratio of 1 or even higher. But if the debt-equity ratio surpasses 2, be
extremely cautious. Make certain the company can handle its interest
payments, and that it has a strong cash flow.
