  4. I am having trouble solving #8. Cabot Corporation (9) Total Asset Turnover (10) Return on Total Assets & (11) Return On Common Stockholder's Equity. How did you get the totals of $214,800 and $132,774? Because I have a similar exam but different numbers, but I am using your example on how to completed the work. I just cannot seem to figure out 9-11? What did you add/multiply/ or subtract? Thank you!!!

    1. $214,800 = ($189,400 + $240,200) / 2
      Given that the Total Assets for Dec 31, 2014 is $189,400
      The second given table tells you that Total Assets for Dec 31, 2015 is $240,200
      -----------------------------------------

      $132,774 = [(90,000+22,748) + (90,000+62,800)] / 2
      same as above, given that (2014) common stock is $90,000; and retained earnings, $22,748.
      The second given table tells you that (2015) common stock is $90,000 and retained earnings, $62,800

  5. I'm trying to understand. I know you have to take the total assets-total liabilities=stockholders'equity but I'm trying to understand how you came up with 290,800 and 323,875 in section 10 under Return On Common Stockholders' Equity

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Average Common Stockholders' Equity=[(180,000+98,300)+(180,000+123,300)]/2=290,800
