R Corporation operated a small courier business under ideal conditions. On January 1, 2021, R began operations by acquiring a delivery truck. In order to purchase the truck, R issued common shares. The delivery truck had a useful life of nine years, at the end of which time it would be worthless. The economy’s interest rate was 3%.
At the time of purchase, R anticipated the cash flows from the delivery truck would be $4,100 in a good year and only $850 in a bad year. In each year, R estimated a 35% chance of a good year and a 65% chance of a bad year. The events of anyone's year had no impact on the probability of a good or bad year in the future.
R's customers paid on December 31 of each year. R did not spend any of the cash received; instead, R saved the cash in a bank account that paid interest of 3% at the end of each year (not including the year it was deposited).

b) Continue assuming that 2021 was a good year, now assume that 2022 was a bad year. Prepare an income statement and balance sheet for R Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2022.
