Notes:

1. Cash includes a restricted amount of $37000.It has to be reduced from the cash balance and create a Bond sinking fund ivestment for the same

2. Accounts receivable has to be presented in the balance sheet as a net figure by reducing the allowance for uncollectible accounts

Account receivable also includes note receivable.It has to excluded from the accounts receivable and add to the notes receivable in the investment section

3. Machinery should be presented in the balance sheet as cost less accumulated depreciation

4. Notes payable balance includes accrued interest also.This has to be excluded from notes payable and to be added to interest payable account.

Notes payable is due on Feb 1,2019.It means within two months.Hence,Notes payable should be classified as current liability.

5. Total shareholder's equity involves both Common stock and retained earnings.Income less dividend is retained earnings.Hence.Common stock=Shareholder's equity-Income less dividends
