Module 03 Course Project Assignment Template
Your order of completion should be:
- Complete the adjusting journal entries.
- Enter the adjusting journal entry amounts in the worksheet "Adjusting Entries" columns. Solve for the balance changes and enter new account balances in the "Adjusted Trial Balance" columns.
- Transfer income statement account balances to the "Income Statement" debit and credit columns, and transfer balance sheet account balances to the "Balance Sheet" debit and credit columns.
- Enter formulas to show total debits and credits of all worksheet columns. In the Debit side of the Income Statement columns and the Credit side of the balance sheet columns, enter the net income figure and find balance in debits and credits for these two worksheet items.
- Journalize the closing entries. Recall, we close Revenue, Expense, and Drawing accounts. Use the Income Summary account to close revenue and expenses to, and the capital account to close the drawing account to, as Marabelle is a proprietor and not a corporation so there is no retained earnings account to be used.
- Complete the Income Statement.
- Complete the Balance Sheet. Remember, Marabelle's capital account balance will have changed from the worksheet balance to include the net income and the drawing balance.
- Complete the Statement of Cash Flows. Use the "2015 PCTB" tab for end of last year's account balances to compare to end of the current year's balances for your operating section information.
- On Ratio Analysis tab in the template, show a basic analysis of the information found in the statements. This should include, at minimum, the following ratios:
- Current Ratio
- Inventory Turnover
- Debt Ratio
- Gross Profit Percentage
- Profit Margin
- For each ratio, include what the benchmark is for that ratio for a company in the craft store market.
