Alpha Company plans to expand into a new geographic area. The executives and shareholders expect the following events to take place over a two-year period and the events actually take place. So, I am saying that the expectations are actually realized.

Year 1

January 1: Issue stock for $10,000 cash Purchase equipment for $8,000. The equipment is depreciated straight line over 2 years with no salvage value.Purchase inventory for $2,000 cash

December 31:Sell all the inventory for $8,000 cash

Year 2

January 1: Purchase additional inventory for $2,000

December 31: Sell all the inventory for $8,000 Pay out all the cash as dividends.
