Notes: Read carefully and follow strictly so that Bb can grade you correctly! 1. Use comma in numbers, one thousand is 1,000, not 1000. Round to the nearest dollar: 1,000.45 should be 1,000, and 1,000.55 should be 1,001, no decimal points. No $ sign. 2. If no entry is required, write N/A. 3. Only use the following accounts: Inventory, A/P (FC), A/R (FC), Cash, Sales, CGS, Exchange G/L, Fwd Contract, Contract G/L, Contract G/L (OCI), Firm CMMT, CMMT G/L. 4. Copy account names accurately to receive credits, names are not case sensitive. 5. Remember: do ALL buy/sell transaction entries first, then financing management entries later.
