TOYS 4 U Project Julianne has worked in a retail toy store for 8 years. Last year, Juliannes wages were $60,000. Lately, Julianne has been unhappy with the shops owner. Convinced that she could run a toy store better at a lower cost, Julianne decided to go into business for herself and opened her own shop called Toys 4 U on January 1st of the year.

To get the business going, Julianne decided to invest heavily in advertising. She spent $10,000 on advertising aimed at consumers. Julianne also purchased computers, printers, and other equipment needed for her retail store for $6,000. She estimated that the equipment she purchased can be used for about five years before maintenance costs would be too high and they would need to be replaced. All equipment is estimated to be worth 10% of their original cost at the end of their life.

At the end of the first year of business, Julianne had received $150,000 in cash from customers, of which $10,000 was cash paid in advance for pre-ordered toys.

A review of Juliannes checkbook shows she paid the following (in addition to those mentioned previously) during the first year of business:

Toys Beginning Inventory, Jan 1 $70,000

Miscellaneous expenses 1,000

Juliannes utility bill for the last month of the fiscal year was $150. She has not recorded the bill and plans to pay it in the next 30 days.

At the end of the year, about $26,000 of toys inventory purchased during the year was in her store stock. In addition, $2,000 in supplies had not been used.
