Answer 1

the following is the balance sheet

.................................Cullen Consulting Services

...................................Balance sheet...............

...................................April 1,2019............

Assets		Liabilities
Cash	$45,600	Accounts payable	$1,700
supplies	$1,700
prepaid rent	$6,400	Owner's equity
Equipment	$21,000	Cullen beaty capital	$73,000
Total	$74,700		$74,700

note:

cash balance = $52,000 intial investment - $6400 paid towards lease => $45,600.

since supplies are purchased on accout : account payable to the tune of $1700 will be created.

Since lease of one year is paid in advance, it results is creation of prepaid rent..

capital of cullen beatty = cash + equipment => $52,000 + 21,000 =>$73,000.
