Question

Cullumber Corporation was formed on January 1, 2025. At December 31, 2025, Betty Harris, the president and sole stockholder, decided to prepare a balance sheet, which appeared as follows.

Cullumber Corporation
Balance Sheet
December 31, 2025
                      Assets                      
 
Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity
Cash
  $22,000  
Accounts payable
  $32,600
Accounts receivable
  53,000  
Notes payable
  17,000
Inventory
  38,000  
Boat loan
  21,400
Boat
  25,000  
Stockholders’ equity
  67,000


Betty willingly admits that she is not an accountant by training. She is concerned that her balance sheet might not be correct. She has provided you with the following additional information.

1.   The boat actually belongs to Betty, not to Cullumber Corporation. However, because she thinks she might take customers out on the boat occasionally, she decided to list it as an asset of the company. To be consistent, she also listed as a liability of the corporation her personal loan that she took out at the bank to buy the boat.
2.   The inventory was originally purchased for $25,700, but due to a surge in demand Betty now thinks she could sell it for $38,000. She thought it would be best to record it at $38,000.
3.   Included in the accounts receivable balance is $10,000 that Betty loaned to her brother 5 years ago. Betty included this in the receivables of Cullumber Corporation so she wouldn’t forget that her brother owes her money.
