With the recovered records and information obtained from outside sources, you believe a balance sheet can be reconstructed for the period ending on the date of the fire. Your friend provided the following information:

Balance sheets for the previous three years indicated that current assets on average represented 25 percent of total assets.
The bank reported the year-end bank balance was $763. It was estimated that $1,000 in the restaurant’s safe was destroyed during the fire.
The bank also indicated that it is owed $23,000 on a long-term note, and the current amount due in Year 0006 is $3,414.
The value of ending inventories was $4,915.
Restaurant suppliers indicated that in total they were owed $3,210 at the close of business on December 31, 0005.
