Answer from: Ashleymsmith

Total assets next year are $186670

Explanation:

The basic accounting equation states that Total assets are always equal to the sum of Total liabilities and total equity. Thus, the total assets of the company this year are,

Total assets - this year = 68188 + (10959 + 86023)

Total assets - this year = $165170

The net income generated by a company is used for two purposes. The company can either pay out dividends from it or retain it in the business or do both. The retained net income will increase the amount of retained earnings and thus the total equity.

Retained earnings for next year = 36500 - 15000 = $21500

Thus, total assets for next year are,

Total assets next year = Total assets this year + change in retained earnings

Total assets next year = 165170 + 21500 = $186670

Answer from: nayelidlc2

$186,670

Explanation:

As we know the

Total Assets = Total equity + Total Liability

AS we know that the common stock account and retained earning account are equity accounts

Total Assets = ($10,959 + $86,023) + $68,188

Total Assets = $165,170

Retained Earning is the accumulated balance of all the prior year's income / losses after paying all the dividend. This balance can be used for the dividend payment or reinvestment in the business.

Balance of Retained Earning = $86,023

Net Income = $36,500

Dividend Payment = $15,000

As we know net income is added to the retained earning and net loss is deducted. Dividend is the payment of earning of the company to stockholders so, it is deducted from it.

New balance of Retained Earning = $86,023 + $36,500 - $15,000 = $107,523

Now we need to calculate total assets

Total Assets = ($10,959 + $107,523) + $68,188 = $186,670

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than nonâ€“video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. â€śthese results,â€ť say the researchers, â€śsuggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex taskâ€ť
