Question

Mune Company recorded journal entries for the payment of $50,000 of dividends, the $32,000 increase in accounts receivable for services rendered, and the purchase of equipment for $21,000. What net effect do these entries have on owners' equity

Answer 1

Decrease of $18,000

Step-by-step explanation:

As there is a payment of dividend so it would reduce the stockholder equity by $50,000

And, there is an increase in account receivable for rendering the service that means the service revenue would increased so the stockholder equity would increased by $32,000

Now the net effect would be

= -$50,000 + $32,000

= -$18,000
