Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

            Ernst Consulting

             Balance Sheet

For the Month Ended October 31, 202x

Assets:

Cash $12,650

Accounts receivable $12,800

Office supplies $2,850

Office equipment $17,530

Land $45,940

Total assets $91,770

Liabilities and stockholders' equity:

Accounts payable $8,110

Common Stock $83,540

Retained earnings $120

Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $91,770

Explanation:

I ordered the accounts and included a couple that were missing:

  • Cash 12,650
  • Accounts receivable 12,800
  • Consulting revenue 12,800
  • office supplies 2,850
  • Land 45,940
  • office equipment 17,530
  • Accounts payable 8,110
  • Cash dividends 1,570  
  • Common Stock 83,540
  • Rent expense 3,110
  • Salaries expense 6,490
  • Telephone expense 850
  • Miscellaneous expenses 660

First we need to determine net profit for the month:

Consulting revenue 12,800

Salaries expense -6,490

Rent expense -3,110

Telephone expense -850

Miscellaneous expenses -660

net profit = $1,690

retained earnings = net profit - dividends distributed = $1,690 - $1,570 = $120
