Blossom Corporation, a private corporation, was formed on July1, 2018. On July 31, Guy Gélinas, the company’s president, preparedthe following statement of financial position:

BlossomCorporation
Statement of Financial Position
July 31, 2018
AssetsLiabilities and Shareholders’ Equity
Cash$25,000Accounts payable$46,000
Accounts receivable52,000Boat loan payable40,000
Inventory34,000Common shares47,000
Boat26,000Retained earnings4,000
$137,000$137,000


Guy admits that his knowledge of accounting is somewhat limited andis concerned that his statement of financial position might not becorrect. He gives you the following additionalinformation:

1.The boat actually belongs toGuy Gélinas, not to Blossom Corporation. However, because Guythinks he might take customers out on the boat occasionally, hedecided to list it as an asset of the company. To be consistent, healso included as a liability of the company the personal bank loanthat he took out to buy the boat.
2.Included in the accountsreceivable balance is $10,000 that Guy personally loaned to hisbrother 5 years ago. Guy included this in the receivables ofBlossom Corporation so that he wouldn’t forget that his brotherowes him money.
3.Guy’s statements didn’tbalance. To make them balance, he adjusted the Common Sharesaccount until assets equalled liabilities and shareholders’equity.



Prepare a corrected statement of financial position.(Hint: To get the balance sheet to balance, adjust CommonShares). (List Assets in order ofliquidity.)
