I already know how to set up a balance sheet and all that good stuff I just don't know what to do with this "additional information" If anybody has an idea of how I would go about doing this please let me know

That information is for further classification for the most part.

Given the type of information given, it sounds like you are supposed to know things like:
*What makes something current versus non-current?
*What accounts should be separated out (e.g. interest receivable)
*How to classify investments, including those in cash equivalents

And the last thing is just info used as part of the description on stock. Look at an example and notice how they include things like par and how many shares, etc.

Since this is the type of thing that is given in the problem, it appears that is what you are supposed to be learning. So you need to look through the info with that in mind and see if you can apply those concepts to it.

If you need more help, please be more specific so that someone can answer you properly without just doing the work for you.
