TUCKER BOATS Tucker Boats began business on September 1, 2013, as a retail sales outlet for Swellcraft water- ski and fishing boats. Tucker Boats is located on Oe outskirts of Las Vegas, Nevada, and the area provides skiers and fishermen with ample opportunities for boating recreation at nearby Lake Mead. Joe Tucker was excited that he was able to get his business established before the spring, so that he would have his operations running smoothly by the peak sales period during spring and early summer. Tucker Boats has adopted a September 30 as fiscal year end, just in time to stock new merchandise. On September 1, Joe and his attorney were involved with issuing the stock of this closely-held corporation. On this same date, he hired a recent graduate of a local trade school, Henry Webster, to be responsible for boat repairs. In the next few days of September, he rented a sales office, boat garage, and lot space. The store is open Monday through Saturday and Joe is there all six days. Henry works 8 hours per day, Monday through Friday. Both Henry and Joe are employees of the corporation. The next page shows Tucker Boat's chart of accounts. Following are descriptions of events occurring during September. After October begins, you are to close the accounts. Note: Since this is a new business, there are no beginning balances in your accounts.
