RE: Corrections to Balance Sheet dated December 31, Year 1
Enclosed please find the corrected version of your Balance Sheet as of December 31, Year 1. The following
adjustments have to be made:
·
Merchandise Sold and Bike Sales are not balance sheet accounts. Rather, they are the total sales and
cost of sales for the accounting period. These accounts need to be closed to Retained Earnings at the end
of the period.
·
The Advance from Customer is not an asset; it is a liability and represents the amount of goods or
service you need to provide the customer in order to earn this revenue.
·
The Note Payable should not be shown as a deduction from equipment. Rather, it is an amount the bike
shop owes, a liability.
·
Accumulated Depreciation is not shown as a liability, it is a contra account to equipment. It shows the
amount of the equipment charged to expense from the date the equipment was placed in service.
If you have further questions concerning this financial statement, please do not hesitate to contact me.
