    I have made general double entries from Frank Wood’s book and after passing general entries I made t-accounts, and then the Trail Balance.

    My Trail Balance is equal. But I am not managing to make a financial statement from my Trail Balance.

    Here’s my TB:

    Bank 2240 (DR)
    Capital 15820 (CR)
    Van 6400 (DR)
    Office Furniture 1500 (DR)
    A/C Payables 900 (CR)
    Van 7100 (DR)
    Cash 520 (DR)

    Can anyone please prepare a Balance sheet from this?
    Thanks.

    I am not surprised that you cannot prepare a Statement of financial position (it is not called Balance Sheet any more) – your trial balance does not balance.

    Your debit balances add up to 17760, but your credit balances add up to 16720.

    I guess that your cash balance should really be a credit balance (overdraft) and therefore a current liability.

    I suggest that you work through chapters 2 and 3 of our course notes and watch the lectures that go with them – they are all free (and are up-to-date!!)

    Sorry, John. I made a mistake in my trail balance.

    Here’s the correct TB:

    Bank 2240 (DR)
    Van 6400 (DR)
    Office Furniture 1500 (DR)
    Van 7100 (DR

    Capital 15820 (CR)

    A/C Payable 900 (CR)
    Cash 520 (CR)

    Also, I know it is called Statement of Financial Position.
