Bea Wise is a budding entrepreneur and has a strong technological background. On 1 April 2021, she starts her own business, PhoneBea Solutions, which is a retailer of laptops, tablets and smartphones. Bea believes that her expert knowledge and ability to translate technical concepts into everyday terms for her customers will provide her with a competitive advantage over the competition, who focus more heavily on price than on providing individualised service. You used to live near Bea and you both went to the same school. At a recent school reunion, you met up with Bea and she tells you about her new venture. Bea mentions she is worried about the large amount of cash she has spent during the first month of trading. You tell her about how you are studying an accounting topic now and explain the difference between the cash and accrual basis of accounting. Bea asks you to help her by preparing accrual-based accounting information for her business. She supplies you with a list of transactions and events relating to her first month of trading, April 2021, and some additional information about the business.
