Determine the following: a. The stockholders' equity of a company that has assets of $451,000 and liabilities of $327,000.
b. The retained earnings of a company that has assets of $619,000, liabilities of $226,000 and common stock of $166,000.
c. The assets of a corporation that has liabilities of $401,000, common stock of $201,000 and retained earnings of 186,000.

a.

Total Stockholders' equity = $124000

b.

Retained earnings = $227000

c.

Total assets = $788000

Explanation:

a.

The basic accounting equation states that the value of total assets is always equal to the sum of the values of total liabilities and total stockholders' equity.

Total assets = Total liabilities + Total Stockholders' equity

451000 = 327000  +  Total Stockholders' equity

Total Stockholders' equity = 451000 - 327000

Total Stockholders' equity = $124000

b.

The total stockholders' equity section of a company can be further divided into two components namely common stock and retained earnings. Thus, the basic accounting equation can be rewritten as,

Total assets = Total liabilities + Common Stock + Retained earnings

787619000 = 226000 + 166000 + Retained earnings

Retained earnings = 619000 - 392000

Retained earnings = $227000

c.

Total assets = Total liabilities + Common Stock + Retained earnings

Total assets = 401000 + 201000 + 186000

Total assets = $788000

in 2001, dell computer became the world’s largest personal computer vendor, continuing to

gain market share and post profits in an industry struggling with slumping sales and billions of

dollars in losses. dell sells 90% of its pcs directly to the final customer, largely bypassing the

reseller channel that accounts for most of the world’s pc sales. this direct customer relationship

is the key to dell’s business model, and provides distinct advantages over the indirect sales

model. dell’s direct relationship with the customer allows it to tailor its offerings to customer

needs, offer add-on products and services, and use the internet to offer a variety of customer

services. in addition, dell’s pcs are built to customers’ specifications upon receipt of an order,

giving dell additional advantages over indirect pc vendors who must try to forecast demand and

ship products based on those forecasts. dell’s direct sales and build-to-order model has achieved

superior performance in the pc industry in terms of inventory turnover, reduced overhead, cash

conversion, and return on investment (kraemer, et al., 2000).
