Diane Maynard made the following request of a friend:
My bookkeeper has quit, and I need to see the balance sheets of my company. He has left behind a book with the numbers already entered in it. Would you be willing to prepare balance sheets for me? Also, any comments you care to make about the numbers would be appreciated. The Cash account is healthy, which is a good sign, and he has told me that the net income in June was $19,635.
The book contained a detailed record of transactions, and from it, the friend was able to copy off the balances at the beginning of the month and at the end of the month as shown in Exhibit 1. Diane Maynard owned all the stock of Maynard Company. At the end of June, Diane Maynard paid herself an $11,700 dividend and used the money to repay her loan from the company.
