Hello people I'm new here, and I'm studying for an accounting exam, and I'm studying up and practising but there is one exercise that I can't make heads or tail of it and I hope you guys can help.

This is a partial adjusted trial balance and it shows the necessary accounts to prepare a classified balance sheet.

Balance Sheet breaks down three categories: asset= Liability+SE

Asset

Current Asset (classify the ones that easily convert into cash fast first)
Cash 20000
AR 11000
Supplies 4000
Prepaid Insurance 6000
Total Current Assets 41000

Property,plant, and Eqipment
Audio Equipment 205000
Less: Audio Accu. Depre (29000)
Total Property, Plant, and Equipment 176000

Total Assets 217000

Liability and Stockholder Equity

Current Liability (Due less than a year or fiscal year, which ever comes first)
Account Payable 19000
Salaries payable 3000
Total Current Liability 22000

Long-Term Liability (More than a year)
Notes payable 70000

Total Liability 92000

Stockholder Equity
J Franco Capital 112000
Less: J Franco drawings (14000)
Retained Earnings 27000
Total Stockholder Equity 125000

Total liability and Stockholder's Equity 217000


Now, notice that Total Assets ($217000) = total liability and SE ($217000)

Hope this help... gl. :)
