Richard Harris opened a gym and fitness studio called Body Builders Fitness Center at the beginning of November of the current year. It is now the end of December, and Harris is trying to determine whether he made a profit during his first two months of operations. You offer to help him and ask to see his accounting records. He shows you a shoe box and tells you that every piece of paper pertaining to the business is in that box.
As you go through the material in the shoe box, you discover the following:
- a. A receipt from Galloway Properties for $9,000 for November’s rent on the exercise studio.
- b. Bank deposit slips totaling $7,500 for money collected from customers who attended exercise classes.
- c. An invoice for $40,000 for exercise equipment. The first payment is not due until December 31.
- d. A bill for $2,100 from the maintenance service that cleans the studio. Harris has not yet paid this bill.
- e. A December 19 parking ticket for $75. Harris says he was in a hurry that morning to get to the Fitness Center on time and forgot to put money in the parking meter.
- f. A handwritten list of customers and fees for the classes they have taken. As the customers attend the classes, Harris writes their names and the amount of each customer’s fee on the list. As customers pay. Harris crosses their names off the list. Fees not crossed off the list amount to $3,200.
- g. A credit card receipt for $600 for printing flyers advertising the grand opening of the studio. For convenience. Harris used his personal credit card.
- h. A credit card receipt for $700 for four warm-up suits Harris bought to wear at the studio. He also put this purchase on his personal credit card.

- 1. Prepare an income statement for the first two months of operation of Body Builders Fitness Center.
- 2. How would you evaluate the results of the first two months of operation?

This year you obtain a new client, Lee Corporation, a regional distributor of appliances. Before becoming your client, Lee had installed a microcomputer-based accounting system to handle its receivable, payables general ledger and payroll. Lee purchases its microcomputer with off-the-shelf software and appears very pleased with it. You notice that the computer sits on the bookkeeper’s desk. You ask Christian Lee, the president, about his feelings about the computer system, and he states:
“The system is absolutely great. It has already saved us a lot of time and money. I get reports when I want them, not days later. In fact, it is so good, why don’t you try it? The password is LEE. You can go ahead and use it. If you want any backup files, they are stored in the supply room. We sure saved a lot of money by purchasing the system from a mail-order operation. A system analyst wanted P15,000 to help pick the best system for us, and a local dealer wanted P11,000 more for comparable…
Ryan Egan and Jack Moody are both cash register clerks for Organic Markets. Lee Sorrell is the store manager for Organic Markets. The following is an excerpt of a conversation between Ryan and Jack:
Ryan: Jack, how long have you been working for Organic Markets?
Jack: Almost five years this November. You just started two weeks ago … right?
Ryan: Yes. Do you mind if I ask you a question?
Jack: No, go ahead.
Ryan: What I want to know is, have they always had this rule that if your cash register is short at the end of the day, you have to make up the shortage out of your own pocket?
Jack: Yes, as long as I’ve been working here.
Ryan: Well, it’s the pits. Last week I had to pay in almost $40.
Jack: It’s not that big a deal. I just make sure that I’m not short at the end of the day.
Ryan: How do you do that?
Jack: I just shortchange a few customers early in the day. There are a few jerks that deserve it anyway. Most of the time, their attention is elsewhere and they don’t think to check…
Stephanie Baskill, an unemployed accounting clerk, lives one block from Cleaver Manufacturing Company. While walking her dog last year, she noticed some ERP manuals in the dumpsters. Curious, she took the manuals home with her. She found that the documentation in the manual was dated 2 months previous, so she thought that the information must be fairly current. Over the next month,Stephanie continued to collect all types of manuals from the dumpster during her dog-walking excursions. Cleaver Manufacturing Company was apparently updating all of its documentation manuals and placing them online.Eventually, Stephanie found manuals about critical inventory reorder formulas, the billing system, the sales order system, the payables system, and the operating system. Stephanie went to the local library and read as much as she could about this particular operating system.To gain access to the organization, she took a low profile position as a cleaning woman, giving her access to all areas in…
