    Need to know if I have done this correctly?
    I need to prepare a classified balance sheet for a construction company at December 31, 2009 based on the following data:

    Accounts payable... $ 74,300
    Accounts receivable... 113,500
    Buildings... 512,000
    Owners’ equity, 1/1/09... 314,300
    Cash... 153,600
    Distributions to owners during 2009... 48,100
    Supplies... 4,250
    Land... 90,000
    Mortgage payable... 423,400
    Net income for 2009... 109,450
    Owners’ equity, 12/31/09..

    Can someone tell me if I did this correctly before I transfer to Excel?

    This isn't a balance sheet at all. All you've done is re-copied all the accounts, in the same order, and put the normal (dr or cr) balance. One thing that is a clue that you can't just copy them over is that they're alphabetical. No statement is alphabetical.
