Santiago Madrid opened a gym and fitness studio called Perfect Body Fitness and Spa Center at the beginning of November of the current year. It is now the end of December, and Madrid is trying to determine whether he made a profit during his first two months of operations. You offer to help him and ask to see his accounting records. He shows you a shoe box and tells you that every piece of paper pertaining to the business is in that box. As you go through the material in the shoe box, you discover the following:
a. A receipt from Clark Properties for $18,000 rent on the exercise studio for November and December.
b. Bank deposit slips totaling $15,000 for money collected from customers who attended exercise classes.
c. An invoice for $80,000 for exercise equipment. The first payment is not due until December 31.
d. A bill for $4,200 from the maintenance service that cleans the studio. Madrid has not yet paid this bill.
e. A December 19 parking ticket for $150. Madrid says he was in a hurry that morning to get to the Fitness Center on time and forgot to put money in the parking meter.
f. A handwritten list of customers and fees for the classes they have taken. As the customers attend the classes, Madrid writes their names and the amount of each customer’s fee on the list. As customers pay, Madrid crosses their names off the list. Fees not crossed off the list amount to $6,400.
g. A credit card receipt for $1,200 for printing flyers advertising the grand opening of the Center. For convenience, Madrid used his personal credit card.

h. A credit card receipt for $1,400 for four warm-up suits Madrid bought to wear at the studio. He also put this purchase on his personal credit card. Use the concepts you have learned in this chapter to help Madrid.
