    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
