Part 1: Recording Transactions (18%) David Smith has a love of electronics and all things technical. On 1 July 2021, he starts his own business, MicroSystems, as a retailer of laptops, tablets and smartphones. He believes that his expert knowledge and ability to translate technical concepts into everyday terms for his customers will provide him with a competitive advantage against larger retailers, who focus more heavily on price than on providing individualised service. You used to work with David, before he decided to become an entrepreneur and you decided to go to university. In early Aug, you decide to meet up over coffee to discuss your new career paths.
