Question

While your friend, the founder of XYZ consulting, is an extremely talented data scientist, she is terrible with accounting and at this point does not want to hire an external accountant or auditor. The founder friend believes that it is time to register her business, but is unsure if the filings will be strong enough to raise money from venture capitalists. Maybe she would be better off not registering the firm for another year – which means no investor but also means little scrutiny. Below is her Trial Balance for the year – can you help her create an Income Statement and Balance Sheet? (7.5 points each for the Income Statement and Balance Sheet).
