(Learning Objective 3: Analyze the impact of transactions on accounts; correct erroneous financial statements; decide whether to expand a business) Joe Ferritto opened an Italian restaurant, Business has been good, and Ferritto is considering expand- ing the restaurant. Ferritto, who knows little accounting, produced the following financial statements for Romano Castle, Inc., at December 31, 2018, the end of the first month of operations: Al I 1 $ Romano Castle, Inc.

Ferritto heard that total assets should equal total liabilities plus stockholders' equity, so he plugged in the amount of stockholders' equity at $49,000 to make the balance sheet come out even. Requirement 1. Joe Ferritto has asked whether he should expand the restaurant. His banker says Ferritto may be wise to expand if (a) net income for the first month reached $10,000 and (b) total assets are at least $35,000. It appears that the business has reached these milestones, but Ferritto doubts whether the financial statements tell the true story. He needs your help in Transaction Analys making this decision. Prepare a corrected income statement and balance sheet. (Remember that Retained Earnings, which was omitted from the balance sheet, should equal net income for the first month; there were no dividends.) After preparing the statements, give Joe Ferritto your recommendation as to whether he should expand the restaurant. Ethical Issues
