FAQ 02 When I try to enter information in the General Journal why does an error appears indicating that the cell protected?
Answer: The computer program is designed to save you time. Instead of requiring you to enter the description four
times the program automatically copies the description when you enter a new account number. This process
requires that the data entry is limited to those cells which contain unique information. The cells that you can
enter data into are the yellow filled cells.
FAQ 03 In the feedback section, what does it mean when I have points under reverse?
Answer: If you pay a telephone expense of $100.00
Telephone Expense 100
Cash 100
If you debit cash and credit telephone expense you have reversed the whole entry.
Cash 100

FAQ 04 How does my instructor get my grade?
Answer: Every time you upload your grade is recorded in a table. Your instructor can look at the table whenever they
want to, although only the last grade counts. Keep a hard copy of your last upload for documentation.
FAQ 05 I have entered all the transactions and have completed the worksheet however I get following
message on the financial statements: "You must finish the worksheet before you can complete the ...."
Answer: The worksheet demonstrates that the accounting system is working. If all of your journal entries are
in balance then the Unadjusted Trial Balance and the Adjusting Entry columns will balance. The
Adjusted Trial Balance columns net the Unadjusted Trial Balance and the Adjusting Entry columns.
There are four steps to completing the worksheet:
1. Copy the account balances from the Adjusted Trial Balance into the either the Income Statement or the
Balance Sheet columns, (debits remain debits and credits remain credits).
2. Calculate the Net Income or Net Loss by finding the difference between the revenues and expenses.
3. Calculate the Net Income or Net Loss by finding the difference between the total of the debit balances and
the total of the credit balances of the accounts in the Balance Sheet columns of the worksheet.
4. Compare the two Net Incomes. If they are the same the financial statements will be displayed, otherwise
there is an error in the completion of the worksheet.
