Hi Everyone,

Hope all you guys are having a good fall break (you all deserve a little R&R). I wanted to help you with the accounting cycle project (try to use excel). Follow this guide and you guys will be fine:

1) Read the problem
2) Read the problem properly ( this time without going to youtube )
3) Journalize all entries, if you are using excel sum the debit and credit columns to make sure they are equal.
4) Create ledger accounts using as beginning balances the amounts in the trial balance provided
5) Post journal entries to ledger, make sure you don’t forget any.
6) Create unadjusted trial balance from the ledger
7) Prepare adjusting entries and post to ledger
8) Prepare adjusted trial balance
9) Prepare closing entries, remembering to close Income summary to Retained earnings
10) Create the final trial balance
11) Prepare Income statement, Statement of retained earnings, and Balance sheet in that order
*** YOU DON'T NEED TO MAKE A CASHFLOW STATEMENT*****
12) Add a couple of short footnotes explaining the depreciation and which inventory choices you made.

Praise the Accounting Gods!!!!! you finished and start studying for your Exam 3

Intermediate Accounting I Accounting Project – Version 3 Cherry & White Bike Company The Cherry & White Bike Company is a small closely-held company with two owners. Its two owners, Charlotte and George, have decided to expand the business. You are CWB’s accountant. Your responsibilities include maintaining all accounting records and preparing annual financial statements. CWB wants to take out a loan to expand its business in the coming year. The banks and lending institutions require a set of financial statements prepared under U.S. GAAP to evaluate CWB’s credit worthiness. You must prepare a complete set of financial statements including the notes to the financial statements for the quarter ending March 31, 2018. You need to choose CWB’s accounting policies and methods for areas including inventory cost flow, revenue recognition, and depreciation. You will need to consider the proper classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current on the balance sheet. To obtain a loan with the lowest interest rate available, CWB needs to show high profitability, and strong liquidity and solvency. You realize the common financial statement analysis ratios for profitability, solvency and liquidity will depend on the accounting methods you choose. So, you carefully analyze the accounting choices in light of common financial statement ratios. The owners also have expressed to you that they need to know their inventory and cost of goods sold to manage purchases and pricing. So, you are highly considering using a perpetual inventory system. You are presented with a trial balance as of the end of 2017 and must add the transactions and activities that occurred in the first quarter of 2018 as listed below. You can add accounts to the trial balance, as needed. In the first quarter of 2018 Cherry & White Bikes had the following transactions January 1: The owners hire Nina Marton to manage the store, paying her a salary of $2,800 a month. Lisa is paid on the 1st of every month, starting on February 1 (which would represent her January pay). They have one other employee who they pay $1,900 a month, also on the 1 st of the following month. Employees work 40 hours a week. January 14: Paid utilities for 4 th quarter of 2017, $775. February 1: Installed new light fixtures and display cases in the leased store. CWB paid $1,600 for the fixtures, $120 for shipping to the store, and $500 to an electrician to install. CWB paid 6% sales tax on the fixtures and shipping in addition to the cost of the fixtures and equipment. It did not pay a sales tax to the electrician. CWB anticipates being in the store for at least 5 years. CWB cannot take the light fixtures with them if they relocate as they will revert to the lessor. CWB can take the display cases if they move. The display cases cost $3,400. CWB also incurred 6% sales tax on the display cases on addition to their cost. Both the display cases and light-fixtures have a seven-year useful life. March 1: CWB invests in a $4,000 3-month treasury bill paying interest of 3.0%. March 24: A customer puts down a deposit of $700 on a high-end racing bike that sells for $2,900. CWB ordered the bike from the manufacturer. The manufacturer promises CWB will have the bike at the store on April 3. Here is other information on other activity and recurring transactions that occurred during the period. a) CWB offers bike tune-ups for $80 each. CWB’s employee is an expert tune-ups, taking about one hour per bike for a tune-up. Below is the number of tune-ups performed in each month. All customers pay in cash. (For recording the transactions, you can assume all tune-ups are done the last day of the month). Month January February March Number of Tune-Ups 18 36 30 b) CWB has the following purchases and sales of bikes during the quarter+: Date Beginning Inventory January 31 February 4 February 10 February 21 March 2 March 15 Transaction Sale Purchase Sale Sale Purchase Sale Quantity 25 15 20 13 15 28 20 Cost per Bike $110 $115 $120 +All purchasers of standard bikes are given the option of buying a bike for $ 400, or a bike with two years of tune-ups for $500. Four of the bikes sold on February 21st were sold with the tune-up option. **All purchases were made using cash except the March 2nd purchase for which CWB obtained two-months credit from the bike supplier. c) CWB took out a five-year loan for $15,000 with an interest rate of 12% on January 1, 2017. The loan matures on January 1, 2022. d) CWB rents its premises for $1,000 per month, with rent due on the 15 st of the prior month. e) CWB has a business insurance policy, which it purchased for $3,300 on July 1, 2017.
