Retained earnings at December 31, 2018 is $93,000

Explanation:

Adjusted retained earnings at December 31, 2018 is calculated as

= Retained earnings in December 2017 - Over stated amount

= $48,000 - $1,000

= $47,000

Retained earnings for 2018 is calculated as;

= Net income - Dividend

= $74,000 - $28,000

= $46,000

Therefore,

Kelly May Bakery, Inc.'s statement of retained earnings for the year ended December 31, 2018

Adjusted retained earnings at December 31, 2017 $47,000

Retained earnings for 2018.

Answer from: dhruvi62

Retained Earnings, January 1, 2018 as originally reported 48,000

Prior period adjustment (1,000)

Retained Earnings, January 1, 2018 as adjusted 47,000

Net Income for the year 74,000

121,000

Dividends declared (28,000)

Retained Earnings, December 31, 2018 93,000

Explanation:

Retained Earnings at the end of 2017 (12/31/17) was 48,000 before error was noticed. So, originally reported would be 48,000 and if you ended 2017 with 48,000- you start 2018 with 48,000.

Prior period adjustment is the error that was reported, overstated by 1,000 means they were a 1000 over so that amount needs to be deducted. 48,000 - 1,000 = 47,000

Thus 47,000 is the adjusted retained earnings for (01//01/18)

Net Income (74,000) + Adjusted retained earnings (47,000) = 121,000

subtracts dividends declared because that'll be what you pay stockholders...

121,000-28,000=93,000

In december of 2004, the company you own entered into a 20-year contract with a grain supplier for daily deliveries of grain to its hot dog bun manufacturing facility. the contract called for "10,000 pounds of grain" to be delivered to the facility at the price of $100,000 per day. until february 2017, the supplier provided processed grain which could easily be used in your manufacturing process. however, no longer wanting to absorb the cost of having the grain processed, the supplier began delivering whole grain. the supplier is arguing that the contract does not specify the type of grain that would be supplied and that it has not breached the contract. your company is arguing that the supplier has an onsite processing plant and processed grain was implicit to the terms of the contract. over the remaining term of the contract, reshipping and having the grain processed would cost your company approximately $10,000,000, opposed to a cost of around $1,000,000 to the supplier. after speaking with in-house counsel, it was estimated that litigation would cost the company several million dollars and last for years. weighing the costs of litigation, along with possible ambiguity in the contract, what are three options you could take to resolve the dispute? which would be the best option for your business and why?
