The baldwin company currently has the following balances on their balance sheet:
total assets $240,859
total liabilities $140,674
retained earnings $45,035
suppose next year the baldwin company generates $44,200 in net profit, pays $12,000 in dividends, total assets increase by $55,000, and total liabilities remain unchanged.
what will ending baldwins balance in common stock be next year?

$77,950

Explanation:

We know that,

Total assets = Total liabilities + Shareholder equity

where,

Total assets = $240,859 + $55,000 = $295,859

Total liabilities = $140,674

And, the Ending retained earning balance = Beginning balance of retained earnings + net income - dividend paid

= $45,035 + $44,200 - $12,000

= $77,235

Now the shareholder equity would be

= Total assets - total liabilities - ending retained earning balance

=  $295,859 - $140,674 - $77,235

= $77,950
