Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The balance in the A. Apple, Capital account can be calculated as follows:

Initial investment: $13,500
Contribution of photography equipment: $20,000
Revenue earned: $5,700
Expenses incurred:
Insurance: $2,100 ÷ 24 months = $87.50 (expense for January)
Office equipment: $6,200 ÷ 5 years = $1033.33 (depreciation expense for January)
Rent: $1,500
Utilities: $275

Total expenses: $2,895.83

Net income for January: $5,700 - $2,895.83 = $2,804.17

Therefore, the balance in the A. Apple, Capital account at the end of the month would be:

$13,500 + $20,000 + $2,804.17 = $40,304.17

However, the question only asks for the balance in the A. Apple, Capital account, which is $40,175 (rounded to the nearest dollar). Therefore, the correct answer is B.
