The balance sheet of Bravo Corporation contains the following list of assets: Cash $8,500,000; Land, $4,700,000; Buildings, $1,300,000; and Other Assets, $200,000. Bravo' only debt is $2,070,000 to a bank. How much will stockholders' equity change when Bravo borrows $300,000 to purchase equipment?

Answer:

No Change

Explanation:

Bravo Corporation

Balance Sheet

According to the question, total assets = Cash + Land + Buildings+ Other Assets = $8,500,000 + $4,700,000 + $1,300,000 + $200,000 = $14,700,000.

Total debt (Liabilities) = $2,070,000

Therefore, stockholders' equity = total assets - Total debt (Liabilities)

stockholders' equity = $14,700,000 - $2,070,000 = $12,630,000.

If Bravo borrows $300,000 to purchase equipment, the following journal entry is as follows:

Debit   Equipment  $300,000

Credit  Accounts payable  $300,000

As the transaction does not affect stockholders' equity, it will not change.
