Accumulated depreciation                 4,067 (B)

Depreciation expense                           408 (I)

Retained earnings                              6,694 (B)

Net income (loss)                                   (211) (I)

Property, plant & equipment, net      6,030 (B)

Selling, general and admin expense 4,884 (I)

Accounts receivable                            1,816 (B)

Total liabilities                                     6,144 (B)

Stockholders' equity                          6,136 (B)

b) Total Assets = $3,779

Total Expenses = $5,292

c) Net Loss Margin = -0.87%

Total Liabilities-to-Equity Ratio = = 100.13%

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total assets:

Accumulated depreciation                (4,067) (B)

Property, plant & equipment, net      6,030 (B)  

Accounts receivable                            1,816 (B)

Total assets  =                                  $3,779

Total Expenses:

Depreciation expense                           408 (I)  

Selling, general and admin expense 4,884 (I)

Total expenses =                              $5,292

Net profit (loss) margin = $(211)/ $24,381  * 100 = -0.865%

Total  liabilities-to-equity ratio = total liabilities/stockholders' equity * 100

= $6,144/$6,136 * 100

= 100.13%
