    First you need to classify your accounts as some of them will not show up on a balance sheet. i.e. your Income Statement accounts will not show up.

    Once you figure that out you need to know what your assets, liabilites, and owner equity accounts are.

    The formula you must know is:
    Assets = Liabilities + Owner's Equity

    Once you know this you add your accounts together then you can solve for your unknown amount.

    Therefore to sovle for Retained Earnings:
    Retained Earnings = Assets - Liabilities - your other Onwer's Equity amount

    Once you have solved for retained earnings you can prepare a classified balance sheet.

    From your information assets will be separated into current assets and Property, Plant, and equipment with a total amont for assets.
    Liabilities will be separated into current liabilities and non-current liabilites, and your onwers equity amounts will be separated and you will have total liabilities and onwers equity amount.

    Note: Total assets must equal your Total Liabilities and Onwers Equity amount.

    To see what a classified balance sheet looks like I would look for one in your accounting textbook.
