Using an electronic spreadsheet saves us a great deal of time and effort. The math is automatically recalculated and we can make sure the books remain in balance.

All of the amounts on FastForward’s income statement are taken from the income statement columns on the work sheet. * After completing the income statement, we prepare the statement of owner’s equity. Once again, we add the net income and investment amounts together and subtract any withdrawals to arrive at the ending capital balance of $33,585. Once the income statement of owner’s equity is prepared we are ready to prepa
