Charles Maxwell is starting a cheesecake bakery, Able Baker Charlie Company, to produce and sell different flavored cheesecakes to restaurants and the general public. He has just begun his study of accounting, and is a bit confused about the many types of reports he has read about and how they will help him run his business. He asks you to help him clarify what the differences between managerial accounting and financial accounting are. Hes also wondering how to set up his inventory, how to classify the costs of his business, and how to fill in some missing information.

At the end of February, after the second month of operations of Able Baker Charlie Company, Charles shows you the data hes collected, but he was unable to figure out some of the amounts. Review the following data and fill in the missing amounts on the chart for Able Baker Charlie Company. Note: It may be helpful to use T accounts to map the flow of the amounts through the manufacturing accounts and solve for the missing dollar values. It may also be helpful to review the steps for determining the cost of materials used, total manufacturing cost incurred, and cost of goods manufactured.
