ABC Corporation -AC 323 Comprehensive Problem 11 21
ABC Corporation -AC 323 Comprehensive Problem 11 21
| ABC Corporation is a new company that buys and sells office supplies. Business began on January 1, 2012. | |||
| Given on the first two tabs are ABC’s 12/31/12 Unadjusted Trial Balance and a list of needed adjustments. | |||
| 1. Make all 14 adjustments on the “Adjusting Journal Entries” tab. Remember to include a description under each journal entry. | |||
| 2. Post the adjustments to the general ledger on the “12-31-12 T-Accounts” tab. You may have to add T-Accounts for new accounts. | |||
| Link your T-Account entries to your Journal Entries. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE “BB” (BEGINNING BALANCES) FOR THE | |||
| T-ACCOUNTS REPRESENT THE BALANCES AS OF 12/1/12. | |||
| 3. Once the 12/31/12 T-Accounts are complete, prepare the Adjusted Trial Balance. There may be some accounts with zero dollars, and you | |||
| may have to insert lines for new accounts. Link the Adjusted Trial Balance to your T-Accounts. | |||
| 4. Use the Adjusted Trial Balance numbers to complete the Income Statement, Statement of Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows. | |||
| For purposes of the Income Statement, prepare using the multiple step format and assume that Rent Revenue, any Unrealized Holding Gains/Losses, | |||
| Interest Expense, Interest Revenue, and any other Gains/Losses are NOT part of the major central ongoing operations of the company. | |||
| Link your financial statements to your Adjusted Trial Balance. Use the Income Statement and Balance Sheet to finish the partially completed Statement | |||
| of Cash Flows. Since this is ABC’s first year of operations, several line items on the Statement of Cash Flows have already been supplied to you. | |||
| If necessary, review financial statement preparation in Chapters 4 and 5 of your textbook for a quick refresher. Plan on using your knowledge gained in | |||
| completing Chapter 23 to help with the preparation of the Statement of Cash Flows. Additionally, since this is ABC Corporation’s first year of operations, | |||
| the adjusted trial balance for all current assets and liabilities represents the change during the year for Statement of Cash Flows analysis purposes. | |||
| 5. When the Financial Statements are complete, make the closing entries on the “Closing Entries” tab. | |||
| 6. When closing entries have been made, post the entries to the general ledger on the “After-Close T-Accounts” tab. Make sure your adjusting | |||
| journal entries are also on your After-Close T-Accounts. They will not automatically flow from tab-to-tab. | |||
| 7. The final step is the Post-Closing Trial Balance, which will use the ending balances from the 1/1/13 T-Accounts. | |||
| 8. Double-check your work. Here are a few things to check for: | |||
| -Adjusted Trial Balance: Make sure debit column and credit column total to the same figure at the bottom. | |||
| -Net income from the income statement will flow through to the Statement of Retained Earnings. | |||
| -Ending Retained Earnings from the Statement of Retained Earnings will flow through to the Balance Sheet. | |||
| -Ending Cash balance from the Balance Sheet should match your ending Cash balance on the Statement of Cash Flows. | |||
| -The Post-Closing Trial Balance should not have any revenue, expense, gain, or loss accounts. | |||
| -Check figure 1: Gross profit = $372,450. | |||
| -Check figure 2: Income before income taxes = $208,147. | |||
| -Check figure 3: Total Assets = $906,151. | |||
| -Check figure 4: Cash flow provided by operating activities = $2,840. | |||
| -Check figure 5: Adjusted Trial Balance debit and credit columns total $1,520,008. | |||
| -Remember: Neatness matters in Financial Statements. Print or Print Preview before submitting to make sure your statements are neat. | |||
| Otherwise, management may send back to you for revision! | |||
| -Include your work at the bottom of each tab as needed. | |||
| -Ask questions prior to the day/night before the due date. The due date is clearly indicated on the course schedule. | |||
| -Utilize formulas and worksheet linkings in your financial statements to improve accuracy and save time in completing the assignment. | |||
| -Please take advantage of Excel by using formulas to calculate groups of numbers (i.e. “Total Liabilities and Stockholders’ Equity”). | |||
| Final comments: This project is intended to make sure that you understand the accounting cycle as well as several key financial accounting transactions that you have | |||
| studied during your Intermediate Accounting series. It is very important to take the necessary time on this project to master these concepts. The concepts mastered in this | |||
| comprehensive problem will serve you well in Advanced Accounting and the rest of your accounting curriculum. | |||
