Question: 1. The balance sheet items for Franklin Bakery (Arranged in Alphabetical order) were as follows at August 1, 2015. (you are to compute the missing figure for Retained Earnings.)

Accounts payable	$16,200.00	Equipment and Fixtures	$44,500.00
Accounts Receivables	$11,260.00	Land	$67,000.00

During the next two days, the following transactions occurred:

Aug. 2 Additional capital stock was sold for $25,000. The accounts payable were paid in full. (No payment was made on notes payable or salaries payable)

Aug. 3 Equipment was purchased at a cost of $7,200 to be paid within 10 days. Supplies were purchased for $1,250 cash from a restaurant supply center that was going out of business. These supplies would have cost $1,890 if purchased through normal channels.

Instructions: Prepare a balance sheet at August 1, 2015

Prepare a balance sheet at August 3, 2015, and a Statement of cash Flows for August 1 - 3. Classify the payment of account payable and the purchase of supplies as operating activities.
