Shop takings were banked daily. On June 30th 2012 cash in the till was still £125. Required: 1. Double-entry accounts reflecting the above transactions (Hint: as a constant float of £125 is maintained in the shop till, you may treat cash transactions as movements on the business's bank account.) You should show all workings clearly. 2. A trial balance at June 30th 2012. 3. Chris does not maintain any books of account - these transactions were obtained from bank statements and invoice files, and memory. Set out briefly the main problems inherent in operating a business in this rather haphazard manner. (N.B. You are not required to prepare a statement of financial position or income statement. However the suggested solution will include these statements for completeness). Chris runs a shop in Bristol, Shoe Shop. The shop sells fashionable shoes and accessories.
