Question 3 [30 points]
The question was:
The trial balance shown below has been prepared for Softouch Co. as of February 28, 2014, the company's first month of
operations. Use this information to prepare the income statement and statement of changes in equity for the month ended
February 28 along with the February 28 balance sheet.
Marking of Income Statement:
Revenues (Lines 1-4)
You should have started this section with the 'Revenues' heading. This will cost you 1 mark.
Line 3: 'Unearned revenue' does not belong on this income statement. This will cost you 2 marks.
Line 4: Total revenues should be $235,000, but you have not entered this. However, your answer is consistent with the accounts you
listed in this section so you will not lose any marks.
