Fred Flinstone along with Barney Rubble runs a Winter Snow Removal company. Wilma Flintstone is the office manager for Yabba-Dabba-Do Snow Removal. January will be the first official month that Yabba-Dabba-Do Snow Removal Services begins keeping full accounting records. Wilma learns quickly that she doesn’t have the education to maintain the accounting records for Yabba-Dabba-Do Snow Removal Services. Regrettably, Wilma only attended college for one year, J. Sarge Rock, and never registered for financial accounting classes. As a result, she hired the services of a local CPA Firm, Bedrock CPA, Inc., and discovered she will pay a junior associate, $200 per hour to maintain the accounting records.

Below are the transactions for the month of January 2021. Wilma has provided these transactions to Bedrock CPA. You are the junior associate and responsible for journalizing all transactions, posting to the Ledger, creating a Trial Balance Sheet and Financial Statements.

The following beginning balances exist as of January 1, 2021. Note Payable: 159,000; Building: 159,000. Please use the normal balances to determine the debit or credit of the balances.
