John has started his second year of the BAS at York University. John was not interested in working for others so he decided to start his own business with what is his passion: be a DJ in parties. A family friend that works as a lending officer in one of Canada's largest banks explained to him how the business plan has to be presented so he can get some financing.

On January 1st 2017 John decided to set up a company to formalize his DJ services he has been providing during last year on an informal and sporadic basis. On January 3rd he submitted the business plan to the bank asking for a start up loan of $25,000. On January 5th John sets up his company: Music on Wheels Ltd with a capital of 30,000 shares valued at $1 each. A lawyer produced all the needed paperwork.

On January 6th John opens a bank account under the name of Music on Wheels and on January 7th John transfers ownership of his van to the company. The van has a fair market value of $5,000 and is estimated to last for 50 months and then discarded. On the same day John signs the insurance contract for the van and the music equipment that is about to purchase. The insurance premium for the van is $2,400 per year and for the equipment is $1,200 per year.

On January 10th John deposited $15,000 of his personal savings in the newly opened chequing account of his company. On the same day the bank loan is approved and $25,000 is deposited in the bank account.

The following is a list of transactions that occurred during the first month of operations of "Music on Wheels":

January 11th Completed the purchase of upgraded music equipment for $18,000; also $700 worth of music files were purchased from the same shop. 50% was paid in cash, the other 50% will be paid in 30 days.
