| A couple questions for clarification: *Inventory: Is this the cost for a physical inventory being performed, or is this the total dollar amount of in-stock inventory? *Common Stock: For dividends paid out to employees, or common stock earnings? Basically what you need to do is assign each item to one of two catagories: Money In and Money Out. Add each catagory. Subtract Money Out from Money In to determine the total Profit or Loss for the period. Also, what is the formula for determining the dividends paid out? | ||||
