Answer:

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = 20%

Explanation:

Calculation of Cash at the end of Year 2

Cash balance at the end of Year 1     $600

Less: Paid off to notes payable          ($500)

Add: Earned cash revenue                 $700

Less: Paid cash expenses                   ($400)

Less: Paid cash dividend                     ($100)

Cash balance at the end of Year 2    $300

Notes payable at the end of Year 2 = Beginning balance - Paid off

= $1,000 - $500

= $500

Calculation of Notes Payable at the end of Year 2

Notes Payable at the end of Year 1     $1000

Less: Paid off to notes payable            ($500)

Notes Payable at the end of Year 2 $500

Total assets at the end of Year 2 = Cash + Land

= $300+2200

= $2500

Creditors at the end of the Year 2 (Notes payable) = $500

Company's assets at the end of Year 2 were provided by creditors = Creditors * 100 / Total assets

= $500 * 100 / $2500

= 20%

The percentage of the company's assets at the end of Year 2 that were provided by earnings is 20%
