Instructions

Prepare a corrected classified balance sheet in good form. The notes above are for information only. **I have spent over 5 hours on this and cannot get the stupid thing to balance. If you could explain why it doesn't balance when I add (or leave out) the Appraisal value of $570,000, and depreciation, and goodwill. Thank you very much for your time.
