You will prepare financial statements that will allow you to assess how profitable the business is.

Below you will find the data required to make entries in your accounting workbook. Remember that you are following the business transactions for a six-month period from that initial stage of analysis and recording, through the reporting process. These transactions will include:

• the initial setup of the business
• sales
• purchases
• making payments to vendors
• paying store employees
• managing debt

It will help you to print this document as you are making your entries in your workbook. Your textbook prepares you and can be used as a reference to assist you in completing this assignment. You should begin this project in Module Two.
