ACCY112: Accounting In Organisations Spring 2017- School of Accounting, Economics and Finance Case study Three The case study 3 is partly based on 'the bright spot' practice set. Owen Watt began his business, called Bright Spot, in 1980 in Wollongong and it has been trading continuously ever since. Bright Spot is a sole proprietorship that sells lamps and light fittings to tradespeople as well as the general public. Since the 1980s a great deal has changed in the business environment including an increase in the number of businesses selling similar products. For quite some time, Owen has been thinking about expanding his business across Illawarra and even online, but his main issues are the required capital and \"man power\THE BRIGHT SPOT AN ACCOUNTING PRACTICE SET Michael Gaffikin Parulian Silaen Kathy Rudkin Janet Moore Department of Accounting & Finance University of Wollongong 1998 THE BRIGHT SPOT TO THE STUDENT Although computers today undertake much of accounting work, there still exists a large role for the accountant. How you would set up a computerised accounting system and operate it still requires a detailed accounting knowledge of accounts and account classifications, transactions, transformations, adjustments to accounts, closing entries, financial reports etc. The best way to gain this knowledge and experience of accounting is to first identify the various elements of accounting and put them together using a manual system before progressing to a computerised system. This practice set will enable you to understand the various steps in the accounting cycle and give you a general understanding of the flow of business transactions through a simple set of accounting records. It will also give you the visual aids to help you understand the impact of transactions that, today, take place within the computer. The Bright Spot is a sole proprietorship that sells lamps and light fittings to tradespeople, on account; and to the general public on a cash basis. Owen Watt began the business in 1980 in Wollongong and it has been trading continuously ever since. You are temporarily filling the position of bookkeeper for The Bright Spot during August. Your responsibilities include making the necessary reversing entries, recording the month's transactions, posting, performing monthend procedures, and preparing the financial statements. The accounting records of The Bright Spot include four special journals, a general journal, a general ledger, and two subsidiary ledgers - accounts receivable and accounts payable. The company closes its books at the end of each month except the drawings account, which is only closed at the end of a major accounting period; its books are complete to the end of July. The 31 July account balances are recorded in the general ledger. Since the company maintains a periodic inventory system, a physical inventory is taken at the end of each month. Reversing entries are used, and customers' and creditors' accounts are posted daily. All cash receipts are banked daily and all cash payments are made by cheque. Credit sale terms are 2/10, n/30. The expense for delivering orders within Wollongong is charged to Delivery Expense. Sales to other areas are charged the freight expense C.O.D. Of course, freight charges are not discountable.
