CC3 Cookie Creations: The entrepreneurial Journey
(Note: This is a continuation of the Cookie Creations problem from Chapters 1 and 2. Use the information from the previous
chapters and follow the instructions below using the general ledger accounts you have already prepared.)
It is the end of November and Natalie has been in touch with her grandmother. Her grandmother asked Natalie how well
things went in her first month of business. Natalie, too, would like to know if she has been profitable or not during November.
Natalie realizes that in order to determine Cookie Creations’ income, she must first make adjustments.
Natalie puts together the following additional information.
1. A count reveals that $35 of baking supplies were used during November.
2. Natalie estimates that all of her baking equipment will have a useful life of 5 years or 60 months. (Assume Natalie decides
to record a full month’s worth of depreciation, regardless of when the equipment was obtained by the business.)
3. Natalie’s grandmother has decided to charge interest of 6% on the note payable extended on November 16. The loan plus
interest is to be repaid in 24 months. (Assume that half a month of interest accrued during November.)
4. On November 30, a friend of Natalie’s asks her to teach a class at the neighborhood school. Natalie agrees and teaches a
group of 35 first-grade students how to make gingerbread cookies. The next day, Natalie prepares an invoice for $300 and
leaves it with the school principal. The principal says that he will pass the invoice along to the head office, and it will be
paid sometime in December.
5. Natalie receives a utilities bill for $45. The bill is for utilities consumed by Natalie’s business during November and is due
December 15.
