Ms Jennie Smiles is the major shareholder and chief executive officer of Celebrations Pty Ltd, a small business which provides organisation services and supplies for parties, wedding receptions and other happy occasions.
Due to the relatively small size of the business Jennie is unable to justify a computerised accounting system thus all accounting is completed manually by ABC Accounting.
Celebrations Pty Ltd uses a perpetual inventory system, noting the cost of all inventory sold is 65% of the sales (GST exclusive) price.
It is now the end of February 2018 and Jennie requests ABC Accounting to complete all necessary accounting to enable the preparation of a trial balance as at 28 February 2018. As the ABC Accounting accountant assigned to Celebrations Pty Ltd you are requested to complete the following tasks using Excel:
(a) Prepare general journal entries to record the February transactions as identified below. Notations/descriptions are required.
