TACC601 Principles of Accounting
Term 1, 2020
Individual Assignment
Instructions:
This assignment involves completing the accounting records for a small sole trader business for one month and completing the year-end procedures. It is worth 20% of your final grade.
It is due by 5 pm Monday 18 May 2020. No rubric will be provided as the assignment is completely practical in nature (there is no written component) and as such the answers will be either correct or incorrect. However, a marking scheme showing the marks to be allocated to each part of the assignment is attached at the end of this document. To begin the assignment, you should open the Excel spreadsheet provided. Save it immediately with your name as part of the filename.
This is an individual assignment. Under no circumstances should you share your workings or any part of your assignment with other students – this constitutes academic misconduct and actions will be taken. All similarity reports on Turnitin will be thoroughly checked for matching with other assignments.
NOTE: You must use the spreadsheet that was provided. If you do not use the spreadsheet provided to you YOUR ASSIGNMENT WILL NOT BE MARKED and you will receive ZERO.
You must complete ALL the assignment using the Excel spreadsheet document and this is the file you will submit on Moodle. Basic proformas have been created for you. Across the bottom of the Excel file you will see different worksheets for each journal, ledger, trial balance, etc.
Where possible, you should attempt to use some basic formula such as the SUM function when totalling journals. If you are having issues with the use of Excel you should, in the first instance, try to use the Help function or Google and watch YouTube videos.

Information Concerning the Business:
ABC Supplies is a business based in the Huon Valley, supplying apple trees to a number of retail nurseries in Tasmania. The business is registered for GST. The owner David Branch is a qualified horticulturalist and manages the nursery organising shipments and managing a small retail store selling to the public direct. David’s bookkeeper has just retired and he asks you if you can help him to record the transactions for June. As you are studying accounting he also asks you to finish off the books for the year and prepare some financial statements for him. The bookkeeper has been keeping the records manually but David is keen for you to use Excel to complete the various records each month.
Other Information:
 David sells three varieties of apple trees, Pink Lady, Royal Gala and Golden Delicous.
 Credit terms are 2/10, n/30.
 All transactions are recorded on the day they occur.
 Assume transactions are on credit unless it is stated otherwise.
 Transaction amounts are “GST inclusive” were relevant.
 David uses a perpetual inventory system and the First-in, First-out method to assign costs to Cost of Goods Sold.
 All cash payments are initially recorded as an expense or revenue. Any work not completed or unused portion is adjusted at the end of the month.
 Expenses that are incurred but not paid at the end of the month are entered the general journal at the end of the month.
 For convenience, round all figures to the nearest dollar (you can get Excel to do this for you by showing no cents).

You are required to:
1. Record accurately all transactions in the correct journals. You will need to complete the Inventory Subsidiary Ledger cards for the three items of inventory as you go so that you can calculate the Cost of Goods Sold for each lot of sales.
2. Post the journals to the general ledger at the end of the month (and post to the subsidiary ledger daily). The ledger accounts have been created for you but you will firstly need to enter the opening balances in each account on 1st June. NOTE: the income and expense accounts will have

an opening balance at this point as they are only closed off using closing entries at the end of the financial year. You should get these from the Trial Balance and Schedules above.
3. Reconcile your accounts receivable, accounts payable and inventory subsidiary records with control accounts.
4. Complete the adjusted Trial Balance (do this BEFORE completing and posting closing entries).
5. Record closing entries necessary at the end of the accounting period and post them to the Ledger. Balance the Balance Sheet accounts.
6. Complete an internal Income Statement and Balance Sheet. You should put aggregated amounts and a “Note” for the following items:
 Sales and Sales Returns
 Cost of Sales
 Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Debts
 GST
 T Branch, Capital (incorporate drawings and profit in the note)
