Question
For this question, you are provided with basic financial information about a fictional company and are asked to prepare three financial statements for the company. You are then required to discuss the financial health and position of the organization.
Below, you will find two important documents: the opening statement of financial position and a provisional trial balance for the fictional company.
Remember that the trial balance has been prepared at the end of the year, but note that the retained earnings and inventories balances included are still those figures relating to the start of that year.
Additional information:
An inventory count established that the value of closing inventories on 31 December 2009 was £6,000.
All of the dividends declared during 2009 (and charged as an expense) were paid in that same year, as was the interest expensed for 2009.

I was very impressed by the time and effort that was put into writing my instrumentation engineering assignment by the assignment expert at HwA. No matter what time of the day or how late into the night it was my assignment help expert was always available to answer my queries and help me write the resistance assignment essay. I got an A grade in the assignment and that has greatly boosted the overall grade for the semester.
My main concern was the relevant local Wellington research and reference work that was required for the final Statistics Assignment for my post graduate program at the Victoria University of Wellington. My professor was very particular about his requirement of relevant local data and samples from Wellington. With the stats assignment expert at TheReliableTutor I did not have to worry about that since the expert provided the most excellent and relevant local data and references helping me to top the class.
HwA turned me into a chemistry lover from a chemistry hater. It was in my final years of my high school when I first took their help with my chemical compounds assignments and how I am doing my B.E. in Chemical Engineering and still taking their help in the matter.
When I moved to the US for my MBA I was in deep confusion over the absolutely different ways that the professors taught and expected the assignments and homework essays to be written. I desperately needed guidance from someone who had experience in the US MBA curriculum and how it was taught. At HwA I got the exact tutoring help that I was looking for. The online finance tutor not only helped me understand the concepts of finance management but also guided me through the process of writing the assignments and homework essays. My grades improved and so did my confidence.
I needed help writing the solution to the assignment on how to derive the equilibrium constant expression for a protein crosslinking reaction using mass spectrometry. But i just did not know where to get the relevant solution material. Thanks to the chemical equilibrium assignment expert at HwA I was able to write the assignment with all the relevant research work and also get the accurate solution.

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
