What is the 20,000 and 30,000? The information is confusing. (I don't know if you tried to do columns but they don't stay when you submit it.) There's also a lot of jumping back and forth between 2001 and 2002.

Administrative Expenses 20,000
What year?

Quote:
Net sales revenue
That's pretty easy -- net sales is just the sales less any discounts and returns.

Quote:
Cost of goods sold
I don't see from this information how this can be done.

I also don't see any way to get this. There may be more information somewhere that is not presented here.

Did you miss the attachment i posted?

You dont include sales discounts, administrative expenses, freight in, purchase returns, sales, purchase dicounts and sales returns on the balance sheet. These are income statement line items. Is that what you were looking for? If it is, just take the components up to net income in my attachment and combine them.

Balance sheet includes Assets (Ex: Cash, Marketable securities, Accounts Receivable, Inventory, Equipment, Patents, Goodwill, etc.), Liabilities (Accounts Payable, Notes Payable, etc.), Equity (Common Stock, Additional Paid in Capital, Retained Earnings etc.)

Hope this helps.... if it doesn't, it might help for you to go back and re-read a few of those chapters from your accounting text.
