Solution
To calculate the total assets, total liabilities, and total equity of Knox Ltd as at 31 August 2023, we need to record all the transactions in the form of journal entries and then prepare a balance sheet.
Here are the journal entries:
01 Aug Debit: Cash (100) 10,000 Credit: Share Capital (300) $30,000
01 Aug Debit: Cash (100) 15,000
01 Aug Debit: Prepaid Insurance (111) 1,800
08 Aug Debit: Accounts Receivable (105) 5,000
12 Aug Debit: Cash (100) 8,000
22 Aug Debit: Cash (100) 5,000
31 Aug Debit: Dividends (310) 2,000
Now, let's calculate the totals:
Total Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Prepaid Insurance + Vehicle Total Assets = (15,000 - 8,000 + 2,000) + 1,800 + 55,000
Total Liabilities = Salaries Payable + Unearned Service Revenue + Bank Loan + Interest Payable Total Liabilities = 8,000 + 0 Total Liabilities = $23,000
Total Equity = Share Capital + Retained Earnings - Dividends Total Equity = 0 - 28,000
So, as at 31 August 2023, Knox Ltd has total assets of 23,000, and total equity of $28,000.
