Statement), because Accumulated Depreciation is also listed, which is a
Balance Sheet item. The answers for several items have been provided to
guide you.

WORKSHEET 2
Preparation of Financial Statements for a Business
Listed below are the figures for the financial statement items for Keith Sales
Company as at
December 31, 2005, the end of the Company’s fiscal year. This list is a “trial
balance”, a form
in which a bookkeeper would summarize the figures at the end of the year.
You will notice that the Assets are listed first, followed by the Liabilities, Owners'
Equity, Revenues and Expenses in that order. This is standard practice and
makes it easier to prepare the financial statements.
You may also have noticed that the figures for Assets and Expenses are listed in
the left column while the figures for Liabilities, Capital and Revenue are listed in
the right column. This is standard practice.
Cash $ 6,000
Accounts Receivable 15,000
Inventory (ending Inventory) 45,000
Office Supplies on hand 2,500
Store Equipment 26,000
Accumulated Depreciation - Store Equipment $ 9,000
Accounts Payable 12,000
Salaries Payable 1,500
Mack Keith, Capital, December 31, 1998 52,000

Salaries Expense 15,000
Rent Expense 12,000
Utilities Expense 2,000
Advertising Expense 6,500

Note that the left column (debit) items are equal in total to the
right column (credit) items; hence, the term "Trial Balance".
WORKSHEET 2 (cont’d)
NOTE: Your total assets must equal the total liabilities plus owners'
equity.
