Analyzing a Student’s Business and Preparing an Income Statement

After three years of hard work, Sam received an electrician’s license and decided to start his own business. He had saved $12,000, which he invested in the business. First, he transferred this amount from his savings account to a business bank account for List Electric Repair Company, Incorporated. His lawyer had advised him to start as a corporation. He then purchased a used panel truck for $9,000 cash and secondhand tools for $1,500; rented space in a small building; inserted an ad in the local paper, and opened the doors on October 1. Immediately, Sam was very busy; after one month, he employed an assistant.

Also, uncollected bills to customers for electric repair services amounted to $3,500. The $250 rent for December had not been paid. Sam estimated the cost of using the truck and tools (
