Queta Johnson is about to open a new business – Chocolate Nirvana. It will be a small chocolate specialties store. She uses a perpetual FIFO (First-in, First-Out) method to account for her inventory. So, every time you record a sale of merchandise you must also figure out the cost of the goods (determined from recording it in the merchandise inventory sheets and applying FIFO - chapter 7).

The purpose of this practice set is to allow you the chance to see how each of the separate components we have worked on this semester fit together. As you complete the set, you may find it necessary to look back at what we learned in various chapters to help remember exactly what to do.

Instructions

1. Journalize each form into ONE correct journal (review chapter 5)

Purchase Journal - you purchased something on account

Cash Payments Journal - you issued a check for any reason

General journal - when none of the special journals work

 Remember you must have matching debits and credits in ALL journals

2. As you journalize each form, did you affect a control account?

Accounts Payable - also take it into the Accounts Payable Subsidiary Ledger
