Income Statement for Cathy Chen, CPA, for the Year Ended December 31, 2009

Cathy Chen, a self-employed CPA, generated revenues of $360,000 in 2009. Her expenses encompass salaries, employment taxes, office supplies, travel and entertainment, rent, depreciation, and interest on borrowed funds. Her expenses are itemized as follows:

• Employee Salaries and Taxes: Ms. Chen's monthly salary is $8,000, totaling $96,000 annually. The bookkeeper and clerical assistant received annual salaries of $48,000 and $36,000, respectively. Employment taxes and benefits totaled $34,600.
• Office Expenses: Office supplies, postage, amount to $10,400.
• Travel and Entertainment: $17,000 spent related to client visits and business development.
• Rent: Monthly rent payments are $2,700, summing to $32,400 annually.
• Depreciation: Office furniture and fixtures depreciated by $15,600 for the year.
• Interest Expense: Paid $15,000 on business loans.

The total expenses are calculated as follows:

• Salaries (including Ms. Chen): $96,000 + $48,000 + $36,000 = $180,000
• Employment taxes and benefits: $34,600
• Office supplies: $10,400
• Travel & entertainment: $17,000
• Rent: $32,400
• Depreciation: $15,600
• Interest: $15,000

Total expenses = $180,000 + $34,600 + $10,400 + $17,000 + $32,400 + $15,600 + $15,000 = $305,000

Taxable income is computed as revenue minus expenses:

Taxable income = $360,000 - $305,000 = $55,000

Income tax expense at 30%: $55,000 x 0.30 = $16,500

Net income = $55,000 - $16,500 = $38,500

Income Statement Summary:

Impact of Net Income on Conrad Air, Inc. Balance Sheet

Baseline net income of $1,365,000 can affect the balance sheet differently based on the scenario:

a. No dividends paid; net income invested in market securities

In this case, retained earnings increase by $1,365,000, and marketable securities increase by the same amount, while cash remains unchanged. The new balances are:

• Marketable securities: $35,000 + $1,365,000 = $1,400,000
• Retained earnings: $1,575,000 + $1,365,000 = $2,940,000

b. Dividends of $500,000 paid, net income used to pay off long-term debt

Dividends reduce retained earnings by $500,000; the net income increases retained earnings, but are used to pay debt, reducing long-term debt from $55,000 to $55,000 - (remaining after dividend payout). Since the entire net income is used to pay off debt, long-term debt decreases by $1,365,000, potentially reducing it to zero if fully paid off:

• Retained earnings: $1,575,000 + ($1,365,000 - $500,000) = $2,440,000
• Long-term debt: $55,000 - $1,365,000 = $0 (assuming fully paid)

c. Dividends of $500,000 paid; remaining net income invested in building a new hangar

Dividends of $500,000 decrease retained earnings; remaining net income increases retained earnings and is allocated to an asset (new hangar). Assets increase accordingly:

• Retained earnings: $1,575,000 + ($1,365,000 - $500,000) = $2,440,000
• Property, Plant & Equipment (new hangar): an asset increases, for example, by $1,365,000 - $500,000 = $865,000

d. All net income paid as dividends

Dividends of $1,365,000 reduce retained earnings to zero, assets decrease accordingly, reflecting the payout.

These scenarios demonstrate how net income interacts with retained earnings, dividends, liabilities, and assets, shaping the firm's financial position.

Personal Balance Sheet of the Adams Family

To prepare the personal balance sheet, list assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2009:

Assets

• Cash: $300
• Checking account: $3
• Savings account: $1,200
• Retirement funds (IRA): $2,000
• Jewelry & artwork: $3,000
• Household furnishings: $4,200
• Real estate: $150,000
• Jeep: $8,000
• IBM stock: $2,000

Liabilities

• Auto loan: $8,000
• Mortgage: $100,000
• Medical bills payable: $250
• Utility bills payable: $150
• Credit card balance: $2,000
• Personal loan: $3,000

Total Assets are the sum of all assets:

$300 + $3 + $1,200 + $2,000 + $3,000 + $4,200 + $150,000 + $8,000 + $2,000 = $170,705

Total Liabilities are:

$8,000 + $100,000 + $250 + $150 + $2,000 + $3,000 = $113,400

The net worth ($76,500) confirms that total assets minus total liabilities equal net worth as of December 31, 2009.

Net working capital (NWC) is calculated as liquid assets minus current liabilities:

• Liquid assets include cash, checking, savings, IRA, and marketable securities: $300 + $3 + $1,200 + $2,000 + (assuming marketable securities are part of cash equivalents, but not listed separately) — but since no marketable securities are listed explicitly, assume total liquid assets are $300 + $3 + $1,200 + $2,000 = $3,503.
• Current liabilities include medical bills, utility bills, credit cards, and personal loans: $250 + $150 + $2,000 + $3,000 = $5,400.

Therefore, NWC = $3,503 - $5,400 = -$1,897, indicating a negative net working capital.
