You are presented with a trial balance as of the end of 2018 and must add the transactions and activities that occurred in the first quarter of 2019 as listed below. You can add accounts to the trial balance, as needed. In the first quarter of 2019 Cherry & White Bikes had the following transactions
January 1: The owners hire Nina Marton to manage the store, paying her a salary of $2,600 a month. Lisa is paid on the 1st of every month, starting on February 1 (which would represent her January pay). They have one other employee who they pay $1,600 a month, also on the 1st of the following month. Employees work 40 hours a week.
January 14: Paid utilities for 4th quarter of 2018, $775.
February 1: Installed new light fixtures and display cases in the leased store. CWB paid $1,900 for the fixtures, $150 for shipping to the store, and $400 to an electrician to install. CWB paid 6% sales tax on the fixtures and shipping in addition to the cost of the fixtures and equipment. It did not pay a sales tax to the electrician.
The landlord gave CWB permission to remove and dispose of the old fixtures. CWB sold the old fixtures for $200. CWB anticipates being in the store for at least 5 years. CWB cannot take the light fixtures with them if they relocate as they will revert to the lessor.
CWB can take the display cases if they move. The display cases cost $2,800. CWB also incurred 6% sales tax on the display cases on addition to their cost.
Both the display cases and light-fixtures have a seven-year useful life.
February 10: CWB made a payment of $5,500 on its accounts payable.
March 1: CWB invests in a $4,000 3-month treasury bill paying interest of 3.0%.
March 12: One of the standard bikes sold on February 21 was returned by the customer. The bike sold for $400. CWB provided a full refund. CWBs policy is to provide a customer with a full refund within 30 day of purchase as long as the bike is returned in good condition. While the bike is in good working condition, CWB does not anticipate being able to sell the bike as new rather it anticipates marking it down and selling it for $190.
March 24: A customer puts down a deposit of $500 on a high-end racing bike that sells for $2,900. CWB ordered the bike from the manufacturer. The manufacturer promises CWB will have the bike at the store on April 3.

- CWB offers bike tune-ups for $80 each. CWBs employee is an expert tune-ups, taking about one hour per bike for a tune-up. Below is the number of tune-ups performed in each month. All customers pay in cash. (For recording the transactions, you can assume all tune-ups are done the last day of the month).
Month | Number of Tune-Ups |

In the past it has used straight-line depreciation over a ten-year period with no scrap or salvage value for these assets.
