To determine

Compute total assets, total liabilities, and owners’ equity and explain whether these are the figures that the company will report in its June 30 balance sheet.

Explanation of Solution

Assets:

These are the resources owned and controlled by business and used to produce benefits for the company. Assets are classified on the balance sheet as current assets, non-current assets, property, plant, and equipment, and intangible assets.

Liabilities:

The claims creditors have over assets or resources of a company are referred to as liabilities. These are the debt obligations owed by company to creditors. Liabilities are classified on the balance sheet as current liabilities and long-term liabilities.

Owners’ equity:

Owner’s equity refers to the right the owner possesses over the resources of the business. Revenues and the expenses are the components of the owner’s equity.

Net income:

The bottom line of income statement which is the result of excess of earnings from operations (revenues) over the costs incurred for earning revenues (expenses) is referred to as net income.

Compute total assets, total liabilities, and owners’ equity as follows:

Total Assets:
Cash	$8,640
Accounts receivable	19,860
Aircraft	220,000
Total assets		$248,500
Total Liabilities:
Notes payable	$180,000
Accounts payable	2,510
Dividends payable	2,000
Total liabilities		$184,510
Total Owners' Equity:
Total assets − Total liabilities $\left(\$248,500-\$184,510\right)$		$63,990

Table (16)

Explain whether these are the figures that the company will report in its June 30 balance sheet as follows:

No, these are not the figures that the company will report in its June 30 balance sheet. Adjustments will be made to the trial balance figures at the end, before preparing the financial statements of the company. The figures, after the adjustments are made, will be the figures that the company will report in its June 30 balance sheet.
