The owner of the company, Emily Jamson, is confused by the statements and has asked you for your help. She doesnt understand how, if her Owners Capital account was $73,500 at December 31, 2020, owners equity is now only $22,600. The accountant tells you that $22,600 must be correct because the balance sheet is balanced. The accountant also tells you that he didnt prepare a statement of owners equity because it is an optional statement. You are relieved to find out that, even though there are errors in the statements, the amounts used from the accounts in the general ledger are the correct amounts.
