C1 ♦ FINANCIAL STATEMENT PREPARATION Exotic Adventures, a chain of stores servicing the ecotourism industry, has provided you with the following list of accounts and balances for the year ended June 30, 2012. All amounts shown are in thousands of dollars. You have been asked by the companyʼs chief financial officer (CFO) to use a spreadsheet to prepare financial statements for Exotic Adventures, including an income statement, a statement of retained earnings, a classified balance sheet, and (if required by your instructor) a statement of cash flows. The CFO canʼt remember the accounts receivable balance. She asks you to figure it out when you prepare the balance sheet. The financial information presented here is accumulated in a file named FINANCIAL on the website for this book at cengagebrain.com. You are encouraged to use this file for preparing your statements and to use the information in this file as a Data Section for your answer. Place the statements in the space below the data. The financial statements should be shown in thousands of dollars just as in the Data Section. Exotic Adventures is a privately held company, so earnings per share information is not required. Years
Ended June 30
