The submission into the specific assignment drop box in Moodle is to be made by each student individually. This assignment is comprised is a single academic paper discussing a case, and is marked out of 30marks. The marking rubric below sets out the requirements: Principally you will be marked o threer components: Your Technical understanding of how the double entry system of recording accounts was developed and how it works, Your explanation of the system of analysing and recording transactions, and Your ability to show how the recording of transactions can be used to develop a statement of profit or loss and a balance sheet. (10marks for each component) As mentioned above, the assessment should be presented in an academic paper format. A key aspect in your choice of format/layout should be to ensure you impart your key messages effectively (i.e., complete the requirements) and efficiently (i.e., it should be succinct and take into account the word limit). Make sure all pages are numbered, and the text fits within the margins of your pages. Make sure to include the relevant heading. Required: You are to: 1. research when the system of double entry record keeping was first used, and why Pacioli is considered to be a such an important figure. While discussing this you should demonstrate what he described by a set of simple transactions covering the following actions: (a) establishing a business entity by providing initial capital (b) purchasing several items of stock for sale (c) selling some, but not all of these items for more than the individual purchase price (d) paying an expense The transactions are to be of your own invention! Accordingly I expect that no two sets of transactions will describe the same events, including what is bought and sold and what expense is chosen. These transactions are to be recorded in a journal. (10 marks) 2. The resultant journal entries are to be posted to a T format ledger and a trial balance is to be extracted . (10 marks) 3.

Short Research Essay on the History of Accounting
Question.1
Bookkeeping system and Luca Pacioli
Introduction
Luca Pacioli is the person who is associated with the discovery of double entry bookkeeping system. In one of the book stated by Adum Smith Ovunda (2015
) written by Luca Pacioli in the year 1491 “Suma de Arithmetia, Geometria, Proportioni et Proportionalita” had two chapters which described the double entry bookkeeping system. All the journal entries by Pacioli consisted only of one debit and one credits. In one of his discussing of entering capital account in the journal entry he showed how to present the journal entry with four Venetian coins in four money columns without putting zeroes in those four money columns and leaving those columns blank. This mechanism was applied by Luca Pacioli to make the students understand the basic concept of journal entries rather than getting themselves involved with amount and numerical values which can make the process difficult for some students.
(a) Establishing a business entity by providing initial capital
There are two transactions involved one is debit and another is credit. Here Luca Pacioli states that the owner or the proprietor of the company is the one who is the giver of benefits in the form of capital. The value of the benefit is enhanced by the amount of cash brought by the owner. It results in increase of capital. Thus, there account to be debited is cash account and the account which needs to be credited is Capital account. This can be explained more clearly by application of the golden rule of accounting. As per the golden rule there are also two adjustments done, one is debit and another is credit. For debit it is what comes in (Real account) and for credit the giver (Personal account). Hence, here we can observe that it is cash what is invested by the owner in the business and this is considered as debit and capital account is the personal account and is considered credit for the giver.
(b) Purchasing several items of stock for sale
As per Luca Pacioli, purchase of several items of stock for sale is the goods or inventories purchased for operation of the business. Thus since the goods are purchased it is an asset for the company. Any asset which is incoming is considered as debit as per Luca Pacioli but the purchase of these goods needs to be purchased for cash or on credit. Whatever may be the case, cash or the personal account (in case of credit purchase) since cash goes out or will be payable by the creditor or owner, it is a credit. Similarly, as per the golden rules of accounting, purchase is a real account and what comes in is...
