Preparation and Analysis of Financial Statements of a Firm
Question
XYZ, Inc. – Review of the Basics
Three financial statements: the balance sheet, income statement, and statement of retained earnings for XYZ, Inc., an accounting and consulting firm, are included below.
During January 2016, XYZ engaged in the following transactions:
1) Paid in full with cash the December 31 balance of accounts payable
2) Furnished professional services and billed $25,000. It collected $13,000 of the December 31 balance of accounts receivables and none of the January billings.
3) Paid all marketing expenses with cash as they arose, $4,500.
4) Incurred supplies expenses of $5,100. The unused supplies (i.e. Supplies inventory) balance on January 31 was $4,000. All of the January inventory purchases were on credit.
5) Paid the bank $5,000 to reduce the principal of the long-term note payable ($5,000 payment due each January), and additionally paid one month’s interest in cash at a 12% per year rate on the month’s beginning balance. You need to record a principal reduction of $5,000 as well as the appropriate amount of cash paid for interest as a separate item or amount from the $5,000 principal reduction.
6) Sold the land for $25,000
7) Paid utilities payable outstanding as of December 31, 2015. The $1,200 bill for January’s utility consumption will be paid in February.
8) On January 31, purchased computer equipment for $1,000 cash and a $5,000 installment note payable at 10% interest due in six months (i.e. no cash was exchanged for the note). Use an “equipment” account for this transaction.
9) Declared (obligated itself to pay) a dividend of $3,000. It will be paid in February.
10) Additional information: Equipment originally cost $40,000 has an estimated salvage value of $4,000 and is being depreciated straight-line over six years. Please record the adjustment for accumulated depreciation in the “Equipment (net)” account.
11) Paid salaries payable outstanding as of December 31, 2015. Incurred and paid with cash salaries expense of $7,500 in January (none outstanding at the end of January).
Required:
- Using the financial effects template and beginning with the 12/31/2015 balances in the balance sheet accounts, analyze these transactions in a worksheet. At the end, you should have balances for the 1/31/2016 balance sheet and income statement. Set up a separate column for each balance sheet and income statement account affected.
- Prepare the income statement, statement of retained earnings, and statement of cash flows for the month of January. Classify each cash flow as (1) operating, (2) investing, or (3) financing.
- Prepare a “Classified” balance sheet as of January 31, 2016. As appropriate, a “Classified” balance sheet separates assets into (1) Current assets, (2) Investments, (3) Property, Plant, & Equipment, (4) Intangible assets, and (5) Other assets, and separates liabilities into (1) Current liabilities and (2) Long-term liabilities.
Note: work should be done in excel

WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
There was a research based assignment on the clinical services available for the aboriginals of New Zealand and for that I needed some expert who knows the nursing industry of New Zealand more than anything else. Luckily here I got hold of one lovely professor who helped me that assignment and many other assignments in the due time.

I was not sure on how to go ahead with my peripheral vascular diseases when I came across TheReliableTutor’s cardiovascular assignment help section. I never knew that any website had such specialized department and I was extremely thrilled. The cardiovascular nursing care experts here are very wise and provided adequate solution to the assignment. Later on also, during my course I had great help from them.
Thirza Toes Student
All the curves used to confuse me a lot. I was not getting any direction while all of my classmates were cruising through their Monopoly, Oligopoly market equilibrium assignments. Then my friend Judith introduced me to HwA and then I felt much better after taking their economics homework help. They helped me understand and also get good marks.
Laura Hammersley Student
I never learned how to analyze the results of a multi-variants regression test and ANOVA test before I approached HwA. The experts here are so helpful and cordial that they in simple language wrote the analysis report and helped me get good marks in my assignment. Since then I always approach HwA whenever I face difficulties with my assignments.
Jackson Levay Student
I work in a consultancy firm from where I planned to do my MBA in correspondence from a reputed University of New Zealand. Since I chose marketing as my main stream, I got plenty of help on all my assignments from the experts from New Zealand, through HwA.

Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
