Why doesn't my balance sheet balance?

total revenues $150 000

total expenses (excl income tax) 100 000

income tax expense (all unpaid as of January 2010) $15 000

cash balance, 31 january 2010 $20 000

receivables from customers (all considered collectable) 25 000

merchandise inventory (by inventory count- at cost) 42 000

payables to suppliers for merchandise purchased from them (will be paid during Feb 2010) 11 000

contributed capital (2600 shares) 26 000
