(Be sure to list the accounts in order of their liquidity. Do not round intermediate calculations.)

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Balance sheet: In the balance sheet, the assets, liabilities, and stockholder equity is recorded. In this the accounting equation is used which is shown below:

Total assets = Total liabilities + stockholder equity

The debit and credit side of the balance sheet should always be equal and balanced.

Moreover, it always is prepared on the specified date.

The common stock amount is not given in the question, so it is a balancing figure. It is computed by

= Total assets - total current liabilities - total long term liabilities - accumulated retained earning

= $2,858,500 - $329,000 - $859,000 - $1,250,000

= $420,500

The preparation of the balance sheet is presented in the spreadsheet. Kindly find the attachment below:
