Adelaide & Carol have been dreaming about opening a flower supply shop together for years. They decide to start The Secret Garden as a part-time project, and will focus on selling luxury dried floral bouquets. The company has recently experienced various significant financial transactions, and we will explore the accounting implications of these events. Their accounting period runs from December 1st to November 30th.

PART 1:

  1. December 1, 2021:
    • Adelaide and Carol compile funds for the start of their new partnership. Adelaide has more savings and invests $15,000, while Carol invests $10,000. They both agree that their salary will be $2,000 each in the first year and $7,500 each for every following year. Each year, any remaining income will be split in accordance with their percentage of capital investment.
  2. December 10, 2021:
    • The Secret Garden purchases 100 bouquets at $12,500 + HST. As they are a new client of the supplier, The Secret Garden pays immediately by cheque.

  6. March 1, 2022:

  7. March 3, 2022:
    • The Secret Garden purchases 200 more bouquets at $21,600 + HST. As they are a repeat client of the supplier, they pay half immediately, and place the rest of the bill on account. This remaining sum is settled on March 30, 2022.
  8. May 6, 2022:
    • The Secret Garden prints some business cards to use. The company owners are still uncertain about the design of the new company logo, so they have decided on a small batch of cards as a "test run". The cost comes to $425 + HST.

  13. November 1, 2022:
