Overview Background information
Assume it is currently June 30, 20XX.
You are working for the temporary accounting employment agency known as Tempters. Today you have been asked to work at Moondollars, a small coffee supplies store that operates in the city and is owned by Adrian Bartos. Your task here is to complete the accounting cycle for Moondollars for the month of June 20XX. To assist you in this task, Adrian tells you to read the company's accounting policies and procedures. Note that you will be required to follow these policies and procedures when completing the accounts for Moondollars.
Accounting policies Business operations: Moondollars is set up as a private non-listed corporation based in the city witha. Adrian Bartos as the sole stockholder. The business derives its main source of revenue from retail sales of coffee supplies.
To assist in managing the business, Moondollars rents a small office space. Note that the business is required to pay for the rent for this premises in advance.
The electricity and water expenses incurred during the month relate to the running of the office. Additional expenses include an insurance policy to protect the equipment in the office in the event of theft or fire.
All costs associated with the office are classified as general and administrative expenses.
Adrian is the only full-time employee and his role is to handle all administrative tasks. Adrian's salary is paid once at the end of each month. All other employees are sales staff who are employed on a part-time basis. The sales staff receive their wages every two weeks.
Accounting cycle: The business adopts a monthly accounting cycle.b.
Purchases: Purchases are recorded when the business receives the goods. All items purchased are received on thec. same day as recorded in the transaction list, except for purchase orders which are received at a later date. Note that the business uses the gross method of recording purchases and receives trade discounts and early payment discounts from some suppliers.
Purchase returns: To allow Adrian to separately track and analyze the value of goods returned to suppliers, alld. purchase returns are recorded in the Purchase Returns and Allowances account rather than directly in the Purchases account.
Revenue recognition: The business recognizes revenues when goods sold are delivered to customers. All itemse. sold are delivered on the same day as recorded in the transaction list except for sales orders, which are delivered at a later date as agreed with the customer. Note that the business uses the gross method of recording sales and sometimes grants trade discounts to customers. Past experience has shown that offering early payment discounts did not increase the likelihood of accounts receivable being paid promptly. Therefore, discounts for early payment of accounts are not normally offered to credit customers except in exceptional circumstances.
Sales returns: So that the business can easily track the level of sales returns in relation to overall sales, all salesf. returns are recorded using a contra revenue account (Sales Returns and Allowances) rather than being recorded directly in the Sales Revenue account.

Sales tax: Adrian has advised you to ignore the effect of sales tax. [ASIDE: This is an assumption to make theg. practice set easier for you to complete. In the real world, sales tax cannot be ignored.]
Cash: The business accepts cash and checks and uses checks to pay for the majority of its expenses. On the dayh. checks are received, Adrian deposits them at the bank. It may take a number of days for the checks to be cleared by the bank. The business holds its checking account with BitiBank.
Short-term investments: The business holds a six-month term deposit account with BitiBank. Interest isi. calculated on a monthly basis and received at the end of the deposit term. Note that when the deposit matures, Adrian usually rolls over the principal and interest received at the end of the term. The term deposit account was rolled over on June 1, 20XX.
Inventories: The business uses the periodic inventory system and and records all purchases of inventory in thej. Purchases account, rather than recording them directly in the Merchandise Inventory account. At the end of the reporting period, the Purchases account and the opening balance of the Merchandise Inventory account are closed to the Income Summary account and Merchandise Inventory is restated to its ending balance. Note that the company does not use a Cost of Goods Sold account.
Prepayments: The business has a policy of recording prepayments, including office supplies, as assets. At the endk. of the month, adjustments are made to the relevant accounts to recognize the expense incurred during the accounting period.
Property, plant and equipment: Property, plant and equipment items are depreciated over their estimated usefull. life using the straight line method to calculate the depreciation charge.
Long-term liabilities: The business obtained an interest only loan from MRMC Bank on June 1, 20XX. The firstm. interest payment is due at the end of August 20XX and the principal on the loan is due at the beginning of June four years later.
Accounting procedures Moondollars adopts a manual accounting system and uses the general journal and special journals for the recording of individual transactions. Adrian Bartos has tailored the design of those journals to meet the specific needs of the business so the format of those journals may be slightly different to those you have seen before. However, he advises you that the general principles of how to use special journals are followed in his business.
The table below shows the journals used by the business and the types of transactions that can be recorded in each of these journals:
Journal Code Transaction type
General journal GJ All transactions that are not able to be recorded in the special journals below.
Sales journal SJ Credit sales of inventory
Purchases journal PJ Credit purchases of inventory
Cash receipts journal CRJ Cash inflows to the business
Cash payments journal CPJ Cash outflows from the business
To summarize the effects of transactions recorded in those journals, Adrian maintains the general ledger and the following subsidiary ledgers:
▪ accounts receivable subsidiary ledger, and ▪ accounts payable subsidiary ledger.
4 PERDISCO ACCOUNTING PRACTICE SET (PCU3e)
Adrian then indicates that he is aware other businesses using a manual accounting system may post transactions from journals to ledgers at different times (i.e. daily or monthly). Although the posting procedures used in his business may be different to what you have seen before, he asks that you specifically follow his company's accounting policies and procedures.
The information below explains when transactions are required to be posted from the journals to the appropriate ledger accounts:
Posting of entries recorded in the general journal
All transactions that are entered in the general journal are posted on a daily basis. Note that if a transaction recorded in the general journal involves both a control account and a subsidiary ledger account, that journal entry will need to be posted to both ledgers.
Posting of entries recorded in the special journals
When a transaction is recorded in a special journal, part of the journal entry may need to be posted daily and part of that entry is to be posted monthly.
Daily:a.
▪ If a transaction affects a subsidiary ledger account, then the entry that involves a subsidiary ledger account is to be posted to that subsidiary ledger on a daily basis. However, the same amount posted to the subsidiary ledger account is not posted to the related control ledger account immediately. This procedure allows the business to keep track of supplier and customer balances on a daily basis.
▪ In the cash receipts journal or the cash payments journal, if a transaction is recorded in the Other Accounts column, then the amount recorded in the Other Accounts column is to be posted to the appropriate general ledger account daily.
Monthly:b.
▪ At the end of the month, the totals of each column in the special journals are manually calculated. Those totals, with the exception of the totals of the Other Accounts columns in the cash journals, are posted to the appropriate general ledger accounts at the end of the month.
