Question
After all of the account balances have been extended to the Balance Sheet columns of the work sheet, the totals of the debit and credit columns are 32,735, respectively. What is the amount of net income or net loss for the period?Group of answer choices37,875 net loss32,735 net income
Solution
The difference between the total of the debit column and the total of the credit column on the balance sheet represents the net income or net loss for the period.
In this case, the total of the debit column is 32,735.
To find the net income or net loss, subtract the total of the credit column from the total of the debit column:
32,735 (Credit) = $5,140
Since the result is positive, this represents a net income.
So, the amount of net income for the period is $5,140.
