22 The Accounting Equation ASSETS = LIABILITIES + EQUITY CONTRIBUTED CAPITAL (OWNER CONTRIBUTIONS) RETAINED EARNINGS NET INCOME (REVENUE EXPENSES) DIVIDENDS (OWNER WITHDRAWALS) LET S TRY SOME QUESTIONS! E1-3, E1-5

23 Statement of Owners Equity OR Statement of Retained Earnings (ASPE) SUMMARIZES CHANGE IN EQUITY DURING THE PERIOD OE Beginning BALANCE, Retained BEGINNING Earnings OF PERIOD + + OWNER Net Income INVESTMENTS OR DURING -Net Loss - OWNER WITHDRAWALS DURING -Dividends + = NET Ending INCOME Retained or Earnings - NET LOSS = OE BALANCE, END OF PERIOD Separate Capital Account for purchase of shares LINKS BALANCE SHEET AND INCOME STATEMENT

25 E1-2 (2) Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings Therefore Net Income= Ending Retained Earnings + Dividends - Beginning Retained Earnings = $12, = $12,780 Who has financed more? How much have shareholders financed? $112,780 How much have creditors financed? $ 10,120

26 Statement of Cash Flows SUMMARIZES CASH RECEIPTS AND PAYMENTS MADE DURING PERIOD, SHOWING CASH FROM (OR USED IN): OPERATIONING ACTIVITES INVESTING ACTIVITIES FINANCING ACTIVITIES NOT THE SAME AS THE INC. STMT.
