What is the value for Cash on March 31, 2018?
Answer:
Figures as on Mar 31, 2018
Liabilities = $25000 + 300 = $25,300 i.e. Beginning Balance + Increase
Equity = $27000 - 1300 - 100 = $25,600 i.e. Beginning Balance + Net Income (Loss) - Dividends
Other Assets = $31000 - 200 = $30,800 i.e. Beginning Balance - Decrease
Cash will be the balancing figure
Cash on Mar 31, 2018 = Liabilities + Equity - Other Assets
= $25300 + 25600 - 30800 = $20,100
