SOLUTION

1. Beginning cash balance = Ending cash balance - Increase in cash

= $1,022 - $9

Beginning cash balance = 1,013

2. Assets = Total liabilities + Total Equity

$4,363 = Total liabilities + $431

Total liabilities = $4,363 - $431

Total liabilities = $3,932

3. Gross profit = Net sales - Cost of goods sold

Cost of goods sold = Net sales - Gross profit

= $10,711 - $2,456

Cost of goods sold = $8,255

4. Income before taxes = Revenue - expenses

= $10,711 - $2456 - $2067 -$12

Income before taxes = $6,176
