Required:

2. Create T-accounts, and post each of the transactions to determine balances at March 31, 2013. Because this is a new business, beginning balances are $0.
3. Prepare a trial balance on March 31, 2013, to check that debits equal credits after the transactions are posted to the T-accounts.
4. From the trial balance, prepare a classified balance sheet (with current assets and current liabilities sections) at March 31, 2013 (before the beginning of operations in April).
5. For each of the events, indicate if it is an investing activity (I) or financing activity (F), and the direction (+ for increases; - for decreases) and amount of the effect on cash flows using the following structure. Write NE if there is no effect on cash flows.
