Abstract

This is the second of a two-case series (C-0736-E and C-0737-E). This is a basic case used to introduce students to financial accounting. It presents the set up and first year of operations of a commercial company. It defines the following basic concepts: assets, liabilities, own resources, income and expenses. It shows the preparation and utility of the following accountancy tools: balance sheet, profit and loss account and cashbook summary. The case also looks at the following issues: stock valuation (FIFO, average, etc) and classification of expenses (by function or category). This case is the follow up to the (A) case, but it can be used independently.
