I just started my introduction to accounting class in university and I am a little stuck on this question because we didn't really go over this is class... please help!

Here is the information given: Sea Surf Campground is a public camping ground in Ocean National Park. It has the following financial information as at December 31, 2006:

Revenues--camping fees: 137 000

Revenues--general store: 25 000

Accounts Payable: 11 000

Cash: 10 500

Equipment: 119 000

Income Tax Expense: 7000

Dividends: 4000

Notes Payable: 50 000

Operating Expenses: 138 000

Supplies: 2500

Common Shares: 40 000

Retained Earnings (January 1, 2006): 18 000

I think that the revenues are the camping fees and general store

My Expenses are equipment, operating expenses and supplies... I am not sure if these are correct or if there should be other expenses on here

Thank you SOOO much in advance for your help!!
