Overview
The milestone for Project One involves applying accounting principles and methods to long-term liabilities and equity. You will also evaluate these financial statement components for adherence to accounting principles and methods. In this assignment, which directly supports Project One, you will analyze the scenario in Project One to calculate and record financial data accurately. You will have an opportunity to correct journal entries and ledger accounts in Project One based on feedback from your instructor for this assignment. It is imperative to keep accurate and complete records.
Directions
Using the scenario provided in the Project One Guidelines and Rubric (found in the Supporting Materials section below), you will be preparing journal entries related to long-term liabilities and equity in the Milestone Journal Entries tab of the Project One Workbook Template and based on the transactions listed in the Project One Appendix. You will also complete the Milestone Ledger Accounts tab by filling in the amounts in the appropriate account bucket.
To access the Project One Workbook Template, use Microsoft Excel on the virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) to complete this assignment.
Note: You may choose to complete an assignment using a desktop program instead of SNHU’s virtual desktop (VDI); however, technical support will not be provided by SNHU if you select this option.
The Project One Workbook Template is provided for you to prepare the journal entries. It contains several tabs: Chart of Accounts, Milestone Journal Entries, Corrected Journal Entries, Milestone Ledger Accounts, Corrected Ledger Accounts, Income Statement, Balance Sheet, Statement of Retained Earnings, Cash Flow Worksheet, Statement of Cash Flows, and Ratios. Please keep in mind, for this milestone you will only be completing the Milestone Journal Entries and Milestone Ledger Accounts tabs of the workbook.
