CHART OF ACCOUNTS

You are to record transactions in a two-column general journal. Assume that the fiscal period is one month. You will then be able to complete all of the steps in the accounting cycle.

When you are analyzing the transactions, think them through by visualizing the T accounts or by writing them down on scratch paper. For unfamiliar types of transactions, specific instructions for recording them are included. However, reason them out for yourself as well. Check off each transaction as it is recorded.
