This book provides the reader with an opportunity to practice the double entry system of accounting or bookkeeping. It contains 40 cases which are each presented as a list of transactions for a full yearly cycle, and then the reader can then prepare a full set of journal entries, as well as a general ledger, trial balance, balance sheet, income statement, statement of retained earnings, and cashflow statement. The step-by-step solutions are provided as well, so that the student will be able to pinpoint exactly where any errors may have been made. The cases cover fictitious start-up companies with revenues from services and sales, as well as sales returns, various expenses, capital purchases, depreciation, shareholder investment and dividends, unearned revenue, prepaid expenses, the year-end closing entry to book the income statement accounts to retained earnings. Each case also includes a business loan, along with the loan amortization schedule which allows the student to practice posting journal entries for interest expense and loan repayments. This book does not teach the theory, but instead it is intended to allow students to practice what they have learned in their introductory accounting or introductory bookkeeping course.
