As part of the requirements of her university entrepreneurship program, Emily Anthony had been operating Compu-Tech Consulting, a proprietorship, on a part-time basis. The purpose
As part of the requirements of her university entrepreneurship program, Emily Anthony had been operating Compu-Tech Consulting, a proprietorship, on a part-time basis. The purpose of Compu-Tech Consulting was to provide training and technical support to anyone who wished to learn how to use a computer, tablet, or smart phone, as well as to fix hardware or soft ware issues. As Emily had approached her graduation from university, she had considered other opportunities in addition to continuing to operate Compu-Tech Consulting.
Emily's parents, Doug and Bev Anthony, have been operating Anthony Business Company Ltd. (ABC), a private corporation, for a number of years. ABC provides business services and sells related products and accessories. The company has been overwhelmed with the demand for its goods and services and has recently negotiated a number of new contracts.
In regards to Emilys graduating, and in hope of spending a little more time away from the business, Doug and Bev had discussed with Emily the possibility of her moving back to her home province to become one of ABC's shareholders. In addition, Emily would assume the full-time responsibility of administrator. Emily could continue to provide computer training and technical support; however, that would be done through ABC rather than through Compu-Tech Consulting.
After graduating from university in May 2017 and investigating the opportunities available to her, Emily became a shareholder of Anthony Business Company and assumed the position of administrator. She began familiarizing herself with the business operation and all of the information that is available to help her run the business day to day.
Emily has come to you for advice and asks the following questions:
1. What form of generally accepted accounting principles do you anticipate each of these business organizations is using?
2. As ABC begins to meet the demands of its new contractual commitments, what accounting information will Emily need if she accepts the position with ABC as administrator, and why? How often will she need this information?
3. What types of users do you anticipate will use ABC's accounting information? What information will these users require?
Emily obtained a copy of ABC's partial trial balance at June 30, 2017, to start to become familiar with the organization's accounting position. The accounting records have not yet been fully updated for the month, so the trial balance is not yet complete.

June 19 Emily teaches a Tips on using Facebook class to a group of seniors that was booked a number of months ago. A $100 deposit had been received in advance and is included in the Unearned Revenue account. $300 is collected in cash at the end of the class, representing the remaining balance due.

June 30 Emily receives her first paycheque from ABC, for $3,250.
June 30 The client for which 50 training manuals were delivered in the June 21 transaction requests another 50 manuals. These are delivered to its Calgary office and an invoice of $2,550 for the preparation of these manuals is included.
Emily has come to you again for advice in regards to the following aspects:
1. Journalize the above accounting transactions for June.
2. Set up T accounts, enter the opening balances in the general ledger from the partially completed trial balance at June 30, and post the remaining June journal entries to the general ledger.
3. Prepare an updated trial balance at June 30.
