Required:

1) Prepare a separate schedule comparing the selling and administrative expenses of the two companies. Separate subtotals are required for both selling and administrative expenses. You should have a column which compares the dollar difference by line item of the two companies.
2) Prepare a separate schedule of cost of goods sold for each of the companies.
3) Prepare a comparative income statement in good form for the two companies. Be sure the selling, administrative and cost of goods number comes from your first two schedules by way of formula. Do not simply type in numbers. Percentage of sale data should be presented for cost of goods sold, gross margin, selling expense and administrative expense and net income.
4) Prepare an EPS summary following your income statement.
5) Prepare a classified balance sheet as shown in chapter 5 of the text. Capital stock must be broken down between common stock and additional paid in capital.
6) Prepare a statement of Retained Earnings. Make sure the net income number is transferred from the income statement by formula and also that total Retained earnings is transferred to the balance sheet by formula.
7) Properly formatted numbers, the appropriate use of $ signs, underlines and double underlines are imperative. Style counts!
