The Bar Harbor Blueberry Farm is a family-owned, 200-acre farm that grows and sells blueberries to grocery stores, blueberry wholesalers, and small roadside stands. Bar Harbor has 25 full-time employees and hires 150 to 200 seasonal workers for the harvest.
For the past six summers, you have picked berries for Bar Harbor. When you graduated, you were hired full-time as the accountant/office manager.

Presented below are a set of vendor invoices and a few partially completed journals and ledgers. Your job is to record these transactions and update the appropriate ledgers. Be sure to leave a proper audit trail. You must use Excel to complete this problem.
