Year 2 Analysis
1. Net Worth Change:
· Net worth at the end of Year 2: $162,000
· Net worth at the end of Year 1: $106,000
· Increase in net worth: $162,000 – $106,000 = $56,000
2. Add Known Sources of Income:
· Salary: $35,000
· Other known income: $5,000
· Total known income: $35,000 + $5,000 = $40,000
3. Subtract Known Expenditures:
· Living expenses: $20,000
· Federal taxes: $6,000
· Life insurance: $4,800
· Total known expenditures: $20,000 + $6,000 + $4,800 = $30,800
4. Calculate Income from Unknown Sources:
Income from unknown sources= Net worth increase+Known Expenditures−Known incomeIncome from unknown sources
56,000+30,800−40,000=46,800
So, for Year 2, the income from unknown sources is $46,800.
Year 3 Analysis
1. Net Worth Change:
· Net worth at the end of Year 3: $305,000
· Net worth at the end of Year 2: $162,000
· Increase in net worth: $305,000 – $162,000 = $143,000
2. Add Known Sources of Income:
· Salary: $35,000
· Other known income: $62,000
· Total known income: $35,000 + $62,000 = $97,000
3. Subtract Known Expenditures:
· Living expenses: $22,000
· Federal taxes: $6,000
· Life insurance: $4,800
· Addition to residence: $125,000
· Total known expenditures: $22,000 + $6,000 + $4,800 + $125,000 = $157,800
4. Calculate Income from Unknown Sources:
Income from unknown sources=Net worth increase+Known Expenditures−Known incomeIncome from unknown sources
143,000+157,800−97,000=203,800
So, for Year 3, the income from unknown sources is $203,800.
Summary of Income from Unknown Sources:
· Year 2: $46,800
· Year 3: $203,800
These unknown sources of income represent the additional amounts required to justify the observed increase in net worth.
