Explanation:

                                               Firm A           Firm B            Firm C

Total assets, 12/31/16           $417,000     $536,000      $316,000

Total liabilities, 12/31/16         216,000        144,000          

Paid-in capital, 12/31/16           75,000                     37,000

Retained earnings, 12/31/16            307,000          

Net income for 2016                          85,000         117,000

Dividends declared and         44,000            9,000         66,000

paid during 2016

Retained earnings, 1/1/16        76,000                   44,000

we can use the following two basic formulas to determine the missing amounts:

ending balance retained earnings = beginning balance + net income - dividends paid

paid in capital = assets - liabilities - retained earnings

firm A:

417,000 - 216,000 - 75,000 = 126,000

126,000 + 44,000 - 76,000 = 94,000

firm B:

536,000 - 144,000 - 307,000 = 85,000

307,000 - 85,000 + 9,000 = 231,000

firm C:

44,000 + 117,000 - 66,000 = 95,000

316,000 - 37,000 - 95,000 = 184,000
