Hints for Completion of the Comprehensive Problem/Project:

The forms you need for completing the project are in your workbook starting on page 199. If you dont have a workbook or choose not to use your workbook, I have provided a copy of those pages/forms in the Comprehensive Project folder in Blackboard.

If you are using the forms in your workbook, you need to change the name on two accounts in the ledger. On page 203, Account No. 31 should be OJB Capital; on page 204, Account No. 32 should be OJB, Drawing. If you are using the forms provided to you in Blackboard, the names are correct.

Read through all the instructions before you begin. Following the instructions step-by-step will help you complete the problem more easily.

Instruction #5 (End-of-Period Spreadsheet/Worksheet) is optional, so you do not have to complete this. If you do complete the Spreadsheet, you can earn up to 10 points extra credit.

Instruction #1 tells you to enter balances in the Balance column of the ledger. For an example of how this is done, look back to Chapter 2 on page 79. If you look at the bottom of that page, you see ledger accounts for Cash, Accounts Receivable, etc. continuing with all the other accounts on the next page. Notice how the beginning balances of accounts that have balances are entered in the accounts by entering the date, writing the word Balance in the Item column, putting a check mark in the Posting Reference column, and entering the balance in either the debit or credit column under Balance. This is what you need to do in the Comprehensive Problem. These beginning balances will be your starting point for the transactions you will record in the journal and then post to the ledger for March.

Make sure to note the page numbers of the journal given to you in the forms from your workbook or the copy I provided. If you look at the forms, you will see the first form is a Journal and it says it is Page 5 in the top right-hand corner. The second page of the journal is Page 6. You have other journal sheets with different page numbers. Make sure you use the correct page numbers for your posting references in the ledger.

Use Miscellaneous Expense if an expense transaction does not fit into any other expense category listed in the Chart of Accounts.

Even if you work on your project with a fellow student, you must still turn in your own forms/problem. Obvious copies of forms obtained from another student will be construed as cheating, and all parties involved will receive a grade of zero for the project.

No solutions will be provided, and no projects can be returned. If you want a copy of your project, please make an extra copy for yourself before you turn it in. If you have questions on your grade, your instructor will have the project available for two weeks into the semester following the current semester.

NO PROJECTS WILL BE ACCEPTED AFTER THE DUE DATE FOR ANY REASONNO EXCEPTIONS! If you are not finished with your project by the due date, please turn in what you have. I will give partial credit.
