Barbara's fashionable friends always bought the newest, trendiest jeans, and ended up with too many "old" pairs occupying preciou closet space. Barbara used her smarts and came up with a cool idea: encourage people to donate their jeans, or sell them to her for : nominal amount, and she would then rework them into snazzy jean jackets. Behold: Snazzy Inc. was born. But while Barbara is bless with creativity and sewing skills, she needs help organizing and summarizing her business costs.

Paid $410 to ship three batches of jackets across the country as part of the sales transaction. 8. Paid $280 to run a series of ads in online channels. 9.
