The question asks to produce the current assets section of the balance sheet. It starts with cash less restricted cash, but what is cash?
I tried cash = 51000 but the solution says that is incorrect
I tried cash = 51000 - 8900 (bank overdraft) but that is also incorrect
I tried cash = 51000 - 8900 + 90000 (contributed surplus) but that is also incorrect

How do you get cash in this case?

Cash is represented by amounts in your bank accounts. So the question is, what is represented by "Bank Overdraft?" Is that a check that you issued that didn't clear your bank or a check that someone gave to you that was returned by their bank? FYI, contributed surplus is not an asset.
