Budgeting:

There are similar questions around. For this one I have no problem with Quesitons 1,2,3,5. Question 4 is solvable, thought bit confusing. The real challenge is Balance Sheet - not sure how to work on it. None of the similar questions on Chegg provide much of a clue. Could anyone help me with this part? where am I supposed to find the relevant entries ? (Such as account receivable and account payable, etc.?) Much Thanks!!
