I am in Accounting and I have a question on a homework problem that wasn't covered in the discussion. A trial balance sheet was given and a Classified (multi-step) Income Statement and a Classified Balance Sheet need to be made. If you could help me figure out what points should be under each that would be great!


Thomas Sales Company (organized as a corporation on April 1, 2006) has completed the accounting cycle for the second year, ended March 31, 2008. Thomas also has completed a correct trial balance as follows:
