S Corp Form 1120S and Additional Paid-in Capital (APIC) part II

[UCcpg]

Initial APIC of 50,000 went mostly to inventory. Now the inventory is 10,000 with no profit. How do you balance schedule L with APIC on line 23 starting with 50,000? Is it ever reduced are lines 24 and 25 meant to balance Schedule L?

Not sure what you're asking but the apic increases cash to that amount on the balance sheet and then cash is decreased to the same amount that is spent on inventory which is increased on the balance sheet. If you then sold the inventory then that is decreased but there is a corresponding increase in cash unless you gave away the inventory. 24 and 25 are not meant to be some sort of catch all for balancing Sch L.

Yes, there was cash, but after expenses, there is no profit. So now total assets are 10,000, with APIC still at 50,000. What would typically balance Sch L? Should APIC be reduced to reflect loss?

You're swapping one for the other, aren't you? Cash was spent to buy inventory, right?

Initially yes. So assets were mainly inventory, which balanced nicely with APIC. Now inventory is sold, but business incurred other losses. So assets are 10,000, but APIC is still at 50,000 assuming it isn't meant to decrease.

No not meant to decrease because of losses.
