· In addition, you will be required to complete a reflective journal of your experience as you undertake the assignment.

Working in groups

· You are required to work in

Part A – Manual Accounting (30 Marks)

Required:

In your group, complete the following tasks for the month of June 2020 for Wanda’s Wardrobes Ltd in the following order:

Step 1.

Read the Company Information Sheet carefully and look through the blank accounts

Step 2.

Review the GST information available on MyLO and work through the practice activity

Step 3.

Enter the

opening balances in the General Ledger accounts

from the Trial Balance provided. Then enter the transactions into the appropriate journals – you are expected to use the general and the special journals provided ie: Sales, Purchases, Cash Receipts and Cash Payments journals. You should put the

monthly transactions through the special journals

ie: sales will go into the Sales Journal, Purchases in the Purchases journal and so forth. The

general journal

can be used for any

transactions that do not fit naturally into one of the special journals.

Step 4.

Balance the special journals and post the balances

for the month from the journals

to the subsidiary ledgers, and to the general ledger T accounts.

Balance the accounts and prepare a trial balance to check your work. The sum of the debit balance accounts should equal the sum of the credit balance accounts.

Step 5.

Prepare a bank reconciliation at the end of the month, and enter any necessary journal entries to record adjustments to the company records. These entries can be entered into the general journal then posted to the general ledger accounts.

Step 6.

Complete any other adjusting entries in the general journal then post them to the general ledger accounts. Ignore GST for all adjusting entries. Balance the general ledger accounts again, and prepare a pre-closing trial balance.

Step 7.

Prepare closing entries in the general journal then post them to the general ledger accounts. Prepare a post-closing trial balance at 30 June 2020.

Step 8.

Reconcile the control account balances with the subsidiary ledgers.

Step 9

Prepare an Income Statement (Statement of Financial Performance) for the year ending 30 June 2020 and a Balance Sheet (Statement of Financial Position) as at 30 June 2020.

Please Note:

• Each group should submit one copy of Part A to your group submission box on MyLO

• Please provide a brief narration for all entries entered in the general journal and a description for entries in all other journals, as this is what you would do in the real world.

• 
  
  Each transaction should be entered in ONE journal type ONLY
  . DO NOT enter transaction in both a special journal and the general journal. Use the general journal for any entries you think don’t fit neatly into one of the special journals. Marks will be deducted if you enter each entry in more than one journal type.
  
  

• GST is included in this assignment to provide you with an opportunity to learn how GST is accounted for when entering transactions in the accounts. You are
  
  not
  
  expected to know everything about GST, just how to account for transactions with a GST component.
  

• 
  
  Marks for Part A will be earned or not according to the extent to which you have the correct final account balances shown in the trial balances
  , prepared the required financial reports, and completed all the other tasks as required.

• It will not be possible to mark your assignment unless you submit all of the required reports. You can submit the parts of the assignment as separate files in Word or Excel format, but make sure that you check your file(s) before submission, to ensure the accounts and all required reports are readable. DO NOT compress your files before uploading. Do not submit your assignment in PDF format.
