    There are many entries here, each one having to be done individually. Net income is revenues less expenses, but you have to do all the work first in order to get all the balances in those accounts, in order to get the net income.

    And I doubt seriously anyone here is going to do all these entries for you.

    If you are having issues with stuff, then you need to break it down and ask specific questions one at a time, not post one really, really long problem. You're actually probably not making it more complicated than it is. It does require a lot of work to get down to an ending answer. And we can't deal with that much material at once. If you don't know how to make all these entries, then you need to deal with that subject, one step at a time.
