The Baldwin Company currently has the following balances on their balance sheet: Total Assets $260,881 Total Liabilities $150,673 Retained Earnings $52,700 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

common stock = $80,308

Explanation:

assets = liabilities + equity

current balance:

$260,881 = $150,673 + $110,208

$110,208 = common stock + retained earnings = $57,508 + $52,700

next year:

net income = $44,200

dividends = $12,000

assets = $260,881 + $55,000 = $315,881

liabilities = $150,673

equity = $315,881 - $150,673 = $165,208

retained earnings = $52,700 + $44,200 - $12,000 = $84,900

common stock = $165,208 - $84,900 = $80,308

e would be the answer

there's 11 people for the 1st position. then, no matter who gets it, there's only 10 left for the second, and then 9 left for the third. 11 x 10 x 9 = 990.   the answer is there are 990 different ways the positions can be filled by these applicants
