Accounting equaiton is

Assets = Liabilities + owner's equity

By using this equation the missing items are found in the excel sheet as follows, and the missing figure is highlighted in bold

    Balances on Jan.1.2019(opening balance)
        Company A Company B Company C
  Assets $140,000.00 $210,000.00 $160,000.00
  Liabilities $60,000.00 $110,000.00 $100,000.00
  Equity $80,000.00 $100,000.00 $60,000.00
  Balances on Dec.31.2019(closing balance)
      Company A Company B Company C
Assets $190,000.00 $250,000.00 $190,000.00
Liabilities $110,000.00 $160,000.00 $60,000.00
Equity $80,000.00 $90,000.00 $130,000.00

The formula for changes in equity is

Closing balance = Opening balance + Additional investments - Drawings + Revenues - Expenses

So Additional Investments = Closing balance - opening balance + Drawings - Revenues + Expenses

opening balance of equity + Net income( - net loss) - Dividend = Closing balance of equity

Using above equation, the missing figures for additional information is calculated and highlighted in bold

  2019 Additionl information  
      Company A Company B Company C
Additional investment $32,000.00 $20,000.00 $13,000.00
Dividends $12,000.00 $40,000.00 $20,000.00
Total Revenues $550,000.00 $750,000.00 $280,000.00
Total Expenses $570,000.00 $800,000.00 $450,000.00
Opening balance of equity $80,000.00 $100,000.00 $60,000.00
Closing balance of equity $80,000.00 $90,000.00 $130,000.00
       
       
So as per the equation      
Closing balance = Opening balance + Additional investments - Drawings + Revenues - Expenses
                                    = 80000 + 20000-0+550000-570000  
                                    = 650000 - 570000    
                                   = 80000 for Company A    
But Actual should be, Opening balance - net loss - dividend  
                                       = 80000 - 20000 -12000    
                                       = 48000      
So additional investment = closing balance - actual balance  
                                                    = 80000 - 48000 = 32000    
       
Closing balance = Opening balance + Additional investments - Drawings + Revenues - Expenses
                                    = 100000 + 20000-0+750000-800000  
                                    = 870000 - 800000    
                                   = 70000 for Company B    
But Actual should be, Opening balance - net loss - dividend  
                                       = 100000 - 50000 -(-40000)    
                                       = 140000 - 50000 = 90000    
So additional investment = Actual balance - closingl balance  
                                                    = 90000 - 70000 = 20000    
       
So Revenues = Expenses -+ dividends - opening balance - c;losing balance.
                            = 450000 +20000 -60000 - 130000    
                           = 280000 for Company C
