Merrill Lynch?s venerable publication, which I?d recommend printing
out and keeping in a binder, is an excellent resource for financial
analysis and accounting:

Merrill Lynch
?How to Read a Financial Report? (undated)
http://philanthropy.ml.com/ipo/resources/pdf/howtoreadfinreport.pdf

A second good reference (for cash flow items) is this SBA document on
cash flow statements:

Small Business Administration Women?s Enterprise Center
?Preparing Your Cash Flow Statement? (Aug. 10, 2001)
http://www.onlinewbc.gov/docs/finance/cashflowex.html



PART A
=======

The reductions in income are bracketed (negative) and the increases in
income (non-bracketed) are positive.

a.  Depreciation and Amortization: ($70,000) 

This takes the equipment over 12 years, straight-line.

b.  Interest expense: ($20,000)

c,  Prepaid expenses: $7,000

d.  Prepaid expenses: $105,000 

January, February, March or 75% of $140,000

e.  Salaries payable: ($28,000)


PART B
========

Cash paid employees ? actually used on the Consolidated Income
Statement either as Cost of Goods Sold or SG&A
Cash collected ? again on the Consolidated Income Statement, though
here you have to net out Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable changes
Bonds payable ? Long-term liabilities
Cash ? Assets (the most important of your Current Assets)
Common stock ? Stockholders? Equity
Equipment ? Fixed Assets
Prepaid insurance ? Prepaid Expenses (under Current Assets)
Inventory ? Inventories (under Current Assets)
Prepaid rent ? Prepaid Expenses (under Current Assets)
Retained earnings ? gets added to ?Accumulated Retained Earnings? in
Stockholders? Equity.  This will also appear in an ?Accumulated
Retained Earnings Statement? that shows the changes for the 2003
Fiscal Year.
Salaries and wages ? as with ?Cash paid employees? this is on the
Consolidated Income Statement either as Cost of Goods Sold or SG&A
Sales ? the first item on your Consolidated Income Statement


Google search strategy:

Hopefully this is clear in its explanation of Balance Sheet and Income
Statement items but if any part of it is unclear, don?t hesitate to
use the Clarification Request.

good response and thanks for the  additional web site address. I hope
that you will answer the other question that I have posted.

A spelling error in each bit typed by the questioner ... ?!

I'm not sure she can judge if the answer was good  - but I think so.
