When I was taking my first accounting class, I learned very early on that most of my problems with balance sheets weren't with the balance sheets but with the calculations that went into them.

First, check for reversed or transposed numbers on there. You might get lucky.

Let's see... you're only off by $200, so there may be a $200 general journal entry someplace. I'd start there. It may be a combination of a couple of entries dealing with paying liabilities from asset accounts like cash and checking accounts.

I think I remember seeing a question on here a couple of nights ago about debiting and crediting liabilities... maybe that was your question?? If so, you need to look that over pretty carefully.

Hope this helps.

Hope this is right;I don't have any accounting ledger paper.

Your original figures are out because of error in Capital section.$16,000+ 10,300 does not equal 16300.
Assets(35,750) minus Payables of $11,550 minus Contributed Capt of $16,000=$8200(RE)

Adjusted balance sheet:
Current Assets went up $1150 to $28800;LT Assets went up $12000 to $20,100 , so total assets are now $48,900.

If Payables stayed the same ,then only Capital changed.
Since Equity & Total Liabilties must now equal same as total Assets($48,900),then $48,900-11,550=37,350-16,000=
$21,350(RE)
The increase of $13,150 in RE ($21,350-$8,200) is the same as the amount the assets went up(from $35,750 to $48.900)

I think this balances now,but maybe because it is so late &I don't understand or am missing some info,but how did Equipment go up so much and yet Cash didn't go down & Payables didn't go up?
Was this a change in classification of an expense to asset?
Maybe a shareholder contributed an asset (like a vehicle) to the business,but 'Contributed Capital' didn't change.


PS I did not understand the 93800938000.
