Answer 1

Answer:

This indicates that

d.the company has a net loss of $9,575 for the period.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Total debits of the balance sheet (assets) = $28,480

Total credits of the balance sheet (liabilities + equity) = $38,055

Difference (net loss) = $9,575 ($38,055 - $28,480)

b) With the determination of the net loss of $9,575, the two sides (debits and credits) of the balance sheet will equal.  This is because the net loss of $9,575 will reduce the credits from $38,055 to $28,480.
