A mini-practice set illustrating numerous aspects of the accounting cycle for a
merchandising business organized as a corporation. Students are expected to:
(1) prepare a bank reconciliation, (2) make adjusting entries—including
adjustments related to marketable securities, uncollectible accounts, inventory
shrinkage, and depreciation, (3) prepare an income statement, a statement of
retained earnings, and a balance sheet, and (4) assess the financial condition of
the business from a short-term creditor’s perspective.
