Purple Corporation’s E & P as of January 1, 2020 is  -$20,000

Explanation:

Given

Accumulated amount =   $100,000

current amount =    $130,000

Distributed amount = $250,000

To know the total amount accumulated, we use the formula;

Total accumulated amount = accumulated amount + current amount had

                                                 =$100,000 +$130,000

                                                 =$230,000

Corporation’s E & P as of January 1, 2020 =

                      Total accumulated amount - distributed amount

                                                       = $230,000 - $250,000

                                                       = -$20,000
