Notes:
1. The machinery is net of accumulated depreciation of $25,000.
2. The balance in the investments represents the original cost at the date of acquisition (January 1, 2017). As of December 31, 2017, none of these investments had been sold and market value was $120,000.
3. During 2016, a patent of Pluto’s expired. The related write down of $35,000 was subsequently recorded in March 2017.
4. Ignore income taxes for this question. Because only a partial trial balance is provided, net income cannot be directly calculated. It should be plugged in to make the financial statements balance.
Required:
Prepare a balance sheet as at December 31, 2017, and a statement of changes in equity for the year then ended, in good form and using appropriate terminology.
