    I have to complete this following assignment, and was wondering if someone could help me out. I cannot get the trial balance to balance.

    I started off by doing a cash flow statement for X3 to find out the closing cash balance at 31 December X3. I got 1040.
    Then I did an income statement for X3, and got net profit of 2685. And now I'm trying to do a trial balance to do the balance sheet. Am I doing this correctly??

    The assignment is as follows:
    Prepare an Income Statement for X3 and a Balance Sheet at 31 December X3

    I have been given the following accounting data and other data relating to cash flows during the year:

    All amounts in ££

    Plant (net book value) at 31 December X2 ................6000
    Cash received from revenues during X3...................8000
    Wages prepaid at December X2.............................100
    Inventory at 31 December X3................................220
    Utilities expense for X3.......................................800
    Shareholders equity at 31 December X2...................5900
    Bad debts written off during X3.............................60
    Payables (for inventory) at 31 December..................600
    Cash paid for wages and other manufacturing expenses during X3........1500
    Cash paid for utilities during X3.............................1080
    Receivables at 31 December X2.............................400
    Cash received from a new 10% loan raised on 1 July X3..............2500
    Cash paid to suppliers during X3............................4600
    Receivables at 31 December X3...............................300
    Inventory at 31 December X2.................................150
    Cash received from the sale of some plant during X3 (see i below).........220
    Utilities payable on 31 December X2...........................200
    Wages owing at 31 December X3..............................40
    Cash at 31 December X2.......................................50
    Cost of Inventory used up expense for X3.......................5200
    Depreciation expense.........................................325
    Plant bought during X3 (paid cash)...........................2650

    i) the plant sold during X3 for £220 (cash) had an original cost of £400 and accumulated depreciation of £250 at the time of sale

    ii) there should be a provision for doubtful debts of 10% of the outstanding receivables at 31 December X3

    iii) the interest on the 10% loan is paid annually (in arrears)
