Default Anyone good with accounting?

I have a group project due tomorrow and my balance sheet won't balance out.

Anyone feel like taking a look at it for me via email and let me know what I'm doing wrong? I think I just have one variable or one percent wrong.

Have you made sure that all of your journal entries balance?

Did your opening balance sheet balance?

Are you sure that you transferred the net income to retained earnings?

Its all pre drafted on an excel spreadsheet, but I think some of the variables aren't entered right. I can't figure it out. I'm getting closer and closing the gap, but now its to the point where its like pulling teeth.

assets - liabilities = equity

It's impossible for a balance sheet to not balance. Your formulas are wrong.
