Question:

Oculus is a proprietorship that produces a specialized type of round window. It is after the fiscal year-end for 2019, and the owner has drafted the financial statements for the business for presentation to the bank and for tax purposes. The following provides a summary of those financial statements, along with comparative information for the prior year:
