Step-by-step explanation:

Information Control Corp.

Balance Sheet

Long-term debt (1) 103,000,000

Total liabilities $103,000,000

Shareholders' Equity

Common stock (2) $28,000,000

Preferred stock (3) 4,150,000

Capital Surplus (Additional paid in capital) (4) $96,000,000

Retained earnings (5) $145,000,000

Total shareholders' Equity $273,150,000

Total liabilities and shareholders' equity $376,150.000

Notes:

1. Long-term debt = Present year debt + past year debt = $66,500,000+36,500,000 = 103,000,000.

2. Common stock = Present year + past year = $16,500,000+11,500,000 = $28,000,000

3. Preferred stock = Currently no preferred stock has issued

4. Capital surplus = Present year + past year = $46,500,000 + 49,500,000 = $96,000,000

5. Ending Retained earnings = Beginning R.E + Net Income - Dividends $136,500,000 = Beginning R.E + 12,000,000 - 3,500,000

or, Beginning Retained Earnings = $136,500,000 + 8,500,000 = $145,000,000
