Step 2
We will now enter the opening balances for SpringTime as taken from the 1999 trial balance.
Note that we must first "close out" the operating accounts to net assets to arrive at our ending net asset balance. The net asset balance on the 1999 trial balance provided is the 1999 opening net asset balance. (The opening balance is the balance at the beginning of the period, before the revenues, expenses and transfers for the year have been applied to arrive at the ending, or closing balance.) Our closing 1999 net asset balance will be equal to the total assets less total liabilities at December 31, 1999. It will actually be the "plug" to balance our debits and credits of the assets and liabilities at year end as net assets by definition equal assets less liabilities.
