    Budgeted balance sheet
    Weller Industrial Gas Corporation supplies acetylene and other compressed gases to industry. Data regarding the store's operations follow:
    - Sales are budgeted at $330,000 for November, $300,000 for December, and $320,000 for January.
    - Collections are expected to be 85% in the month of sale, 14% in the month following the sale, and 1% uncollectible.
    - The cost of goods sold is 60% of sales.
    - The company purchases 80% of its merchandise in the month prior to the month of sale and 20% in the month of sale. Payment for merchandise is made in the month following the purchase.

    Statement of Financial Position
    October 31
    Assets:
    Cash $ 22,000
    Accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts 83,000
    Inventory 158,400
    Property, plant and equipment
    Net of $594,000 accumulated depreciation 1,004,000
    Total assets $1,267,400


    Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity:
    Accounts payable 196,000
    Common Stock 620,000
    Retained earnings 451,400
    Total liabilities and stockholders’ equity $1,267,400



    Okay, so I was supposed to get a budgeted balance sheet for the end of December, but some how Asset sides and Liability+Equity does not balance.

    Can you tell me what's wrong with my answer?

    What a NASTY problem! I'm quite impressed you did this well. This about made my brains go bonkers.

    It's in your retained earnings, so it's in your budgeted income statement. I don't know what you've done, though, because you didn't make the same mistake I did the first time around. (Well, you may have made that mistake too, but there's something else going on too, and I don't know what.) Can you post where you came up with the net income you're adding to retained earnings?
