Required:
Determine the following at December 31, 2021:

Total current assets
Short-term investments
Retained earnings

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1)

Total current assets of $100,800

2)

Short term investments = Total current assets - Cash and cash equivalents - Accounts receivable - Inventory

= $100,800 - $5,600 - $26,000 - $66,000

= $3,200

3)

Retained earnings = Property plant and equipment + Total current assets - Total liabilities - Paid in capital

where,

Total liabilities = Accounts payable + Salaries payable + Accrued interest + Notes payable

= $45,000 + $17,000 + $1,000 + $36,000

= $99,000

SO,

Retained earnings = $150,000 + $100,800 - $99,000 - $130,000

= $21,800
