Acc280 Financial Accounting: Continuing Cookie Chronicle 3 (CCC3) - as proprietorship

Chapter 3 - Continuing Cookie Chronicles 3 (CCC3)

Note: For transaction 3, round depreciation to the nearest dollar.

It is the end of November and Natalie has been in touch with her grandmother. Her grandmother asked Natalie how well things went in her first month of business. Natalie, too, would like to know if she has been profitable or not during November. Natalie realizes that in order to determine Cookie Creations’ income, she must first make adjustments.

Natalie puts together the following additional information.

1. A count reveals that $60 of brochures and posters remain at the end of November.

2. A count reveals that $35 of baking supplies were used during November.

3. Natalie estimates that all of her baking equipment will have a useful life of 5 years or 60 months. (Assume Natalie decides to record a full month’s worth of depreciation, regardless of when the equipment was obtained by the business.)

4. Natalie’s grandmother has decided to charge interest of 6% on the note payable extended on November 16. The loan plus interest is to be repaid in 24 months. (Assume that half a month of interest accrued during November.)

5. On November 30, a friend of Natalie’s asks her to teach a class at the neighborhood school. Natalie agrees and teaches a group of 35 first-grade students how to make Santa Claus cookies. The next day, Natalie prepares an invoice for $300 and leaves it with the school prin­cipal. The principal says that he will pass the invoice along to the head office, and it will be paid sometime in December.

6. Natalie receives a cellphone bill for $45. She uses her cellphone only for business. The bill is for services provided during November and is due December 15.
