For this project, assume that you are the owner of a hypothetical company of your choice. You will act as the accountant for this company, and consequently you will perform all of the steps in the accounting cycle. The project can be submitted in the Project Assignment menu in Blackboard between August 6th and August 11th. You will receive 2 points extra credit for every day you submit the project prior to August 11th to a maximum of ten (10) points.

Submissions are required to be handwritten. This means you will need to scan your completed templates and save them as pdf in one file to submit to the assignment drop box under the Course Project Menu.

You will be required to complete one month of the accounting cycle for your company and prepare financial statements.

You will receive unique prices for your service revenue per hour, sales revenue per unit, and cost of inventory per unit. Your unique prices are available under Groups listed by your name. Note that each student is assigned different prices, so be sure to use the correct ones or you run the chance of missing a substantial portion of the assignment. Please see Blackboard the Course Project menu.
