Profits on the sale of this practice set will be deposited in the
Accounting Excellence Fund to benefit accounting and business students
INTRODUCTION
This short practice problem gives you, the student, an opportunity to practice the accounting
concepts and skills acquired in an introductory financial accounting course. The objective of the
practice problem is to have you complete a comprehensive example of the accounting cycle.
You will evaluate transactions, use the general journal to record events, adjust the accounts,
close the temporary accounts, maintain an ongoing general ledger, prepare a worksheet and
prepare financial statements.
In following the instructions for the Practice Problem, keep in mind that an accountant prepares accounting
records in a neat fashion and in proper format. If you prepare this practice set by hand, using a pencil for the
accounting work gives you a better opportunity to maintain neat records.
COMPANY OPERATIONS
