Solution

After net income is entered on the work sheet, the Balance Sheet debit and credit columns must equal each other. This is because the balance sheet is a financial statement that provides a snapshot of what a company owns (assets), what it owes (liabilities), and the shareholders' equity at a specific point in time. Therefore, the total amount of assets must equal the total amount of liabilities and shareholders' equity, which means the debit and credit columns must balance out or be equal.
