Requirement 1. Compute the missing amount for Mercier Company. You will need to work through owner's equity.

Begin by working through owner's equity. Rework the accounting equation and then solve for owner's equity ("equity") at

the beginning and end of the period.

Assets Liabilities

= Equity

Beginning $ 68,000 $

41,000 = $ 27,000

Ending $ 37,000 $

32,000 = $ 5,000

Identify the formula to show the change in equity and then complete the calculation to solve for the missing expenses for

the period. (For accounts with a $0 balance, make sure to enter "0" in the appropriate column. Abbreviations used:

Contributions = Owner contribution Withdrawals = Owner withdrawal Capital, Beg. = Capital, Beginning.)

Capital, Beg. + Revenues -Expenses+ Contributions- Withdrawals= Capital, Ending

$ 27,000 + $ 238,000- $262,000 + $ 12,000 $-10,000 = $ 5,000

Beginning: Equity:

Assets $ 68,000 Owner contributions $ 12,000

Liabilities 41,000 Owner withdrawals 10,000

Ending: Revenues 238,000
