Prepare the Balance Sheet for 3p.com as of March 31, 2016 and their Income Statement and Cash Flow Statement for the first quarter of 2016. Don't forget taxes (25%) and think about other necessities! (Please insert another table in your Excel spreadsheet to present the three statements. Please show all necessary accounting record to produce the three statements in a separate table.)
Please note: Use an Excel file to answer the above questions. Make all calculations explicit inside the file, i.e., make all calculations INSIDE the Excel file and provide the formulas, not just the numbers. Make your spreadsheets easily understandable for a time-constrained reader. That think about how to structure your file so that it is easily readable and understandable for an outside reader. Grading is based on both "content" and "appearance".
