Question

Angie's Amazing Getups Incorporated is a Canadian controlled private corporation with a head office in London, Ontario. The company is a manufacturer of high end custom costumes and makeup used in movie and theatre productions with sales in Canada and the U.S.

The company started in business in 2015 when the sole shareholder, Angela Q. Snodgrass, was photographed by the paparazzi after a particularly enthusiastic night of partying. When Angela saw herself on the front page of every tabloid newspaper the next day, she knew that fame was not for her. Since Angela was a highly trained clothing designer and makeup artist, she felt she would be able to use those skills to start her own business and keep out of the limelight.

In November, 2018, after discovering that her bookkeeper, Ponzi Madoff, had been defrauding her, Angela fired him and took over the bookkeeping responsibilities herself, despite having a limited knowledge of accounting. She has produced the following Income Statement and miscellaneous financial information for the year ended December 31, 2018 and needs your help.
