            Total....................................... $180,400            Total     .................................. $180,400

 

In discussions with Pamona and by reviewing the accounting records of New City Playhouse, you discover the following facts:

 

1.       When Pamona founded New City Playhouse several years ago, he invested $80,000 in the business.  However, Live Theatre, Inc., recently offered to buy his business for $134,200.  Therefore, he listed this amount as his equity in the above balance sheet.

2.      The accounts receivable, listed as $100,100, include $18,000 owed to the business by Artistic Tours.  The remaining $82,100 is Pamona’s estimate of future ticket sales from September 30 through the end of the year (December 31).

3.       The amount of cash, $22,200, includes $17,000 in the company’s bank account, $3,100 on hand in the company’s safe, and $2,100 in Pamona’s personal savings account.

4.       Salaries payable include $18,000 offered to Aslý Korkmaz to play the lead role in a new play opening next December and $13,200 still owed to stagehands for work done through September 30.

5.       New City Playhouse rents the theater building from Delf International at a rate of $5,000 a month.  The $25,000 shown in the balance sheet represents the rent paid for next five months.  Delf International acquired the building seven years ago at a cost of $140,000.

6.       The automobile is Pamona’s classic 1935 Packard, which he purchased two years ago for $12,000.  He recently saw a similar car advertised for sale at $22,000.  He does not use the car in the business.

7.       The lighting equipment was purchased on September 26 at a cost of $9,100, but the stage manager says that it isn’t worth a dime.

8.       The accounts payable include business debts of $14,000 and the $1,000 balance of Pamona’s personal VISA card.

9.       Pamona explains to you that the props and costumes were purchased several days ago for $19,000. The business paid $2,000 of this amount in cash and issued a note payable to Actor’s Supply Co. for the remainder of the purchase price ($17,000).  As this note is not due until January of next year, it was not included among the company’s liabilities.

Required:

Prepare a corrected balance sheet for New City Playhouse at September 30, 2005.
