Dear Smart Yousufzai, please do not seek such help that amounts to spoon-feeding or off-loading your homework to others. It is a very small problem in Financial Accounting, which a fresher would be able to solve easily.

Understanding Financial Statements

Have you familiarized yourself with the "items" that constitute a Balance Sheet and an Income Statement? You have to identify and segregate them, work around a bit, and arrange them in the proper order for both statements - that's all that needs to be done.

Raj bro,

I have already prepared the income statement and balance sheet myself, but I am not sure if they are correct. That's why I am asking here if someone could review them so I can compare it with my own records.

Dear Smart Yousufzai,

In that case, it is advisable to submit your balance sheet and profit & loss account and seek the opinion of members, rather than quizzing members.

Thank you.
