    you just need to grasp the concept in making Income Statement and Balance sheet. In Income statement you need to figure out the net income of the company, so you add all the revenues find to total for that and then from it less the total expenses will give you the Net Income. You need this net income to find out the Owner's Equity which comes from Owner's Equity Statement. In OES you you add the net income to the owner's equity and less(subtract) the owners withdrawals from it. This Owners equity is used in Balance sheet. Balance sheet as the name suggests Balances the Accounting Equation(Assets=Liabilities + Equity). Here you add all the assets on one side. Add all the liabilities and make addition to it with the output of equity statement. The totals should be equal

    You need to be able to classify all of these accounts. Meaning your first step really is to sit down and put them in order, with assets first, etc. (They're already sorta organized, but not quite there.) I would hope your text has examples of the statements, but here are some different examples for you:
