Using the data for Brady and Co. provided in the sheet labeled "Trial Balance" prepare:
	Balance Sheet - comparative, classified in proper format for fiscal years 2015 and 2016
	Income Statement - multiple-step for fiscal years 2015 and 2016. Include earnings per share data.
	Statement of Retained Earnings for 2016.
	Use separate sheets, appropriately named, for each financial statement in good form.
	List 5 notes that would be required if you were also preparing the notes to these financial statements.
	Do not prepare the notes, just briefly list the accounts, etc. for which GAAP would require disclosure
	based on Brady's financial statements.

PLEASE HELP. I have a teacher who teaches us nothing and I've been struggling to figure out how to complete the statements with the book for weeks. I'm also confused on how I'm suppossed to include earnings per share on the income statement. I posted the trial balance once above and once below in case it helps
