Assignment Help Financial Accounting

Reference no: EM13183430

You have just landed at temporary assignment at a small retail company in your area. The accountant, who had completed the books through the end of November, went out on maternity leave during the first week of December. The task you have been given is to take the ending Trial Balance for November, prepare December transactions, prepare the December financials, and close the books.

The manager of the company has indicated that salaries and rent for December are the same as the 11 months preceding (employees are paid at the end of the month). Additional transaction information follows:

December Advertising = $900 December Utilities = $700
December Communications = $500

The manager is pretty sure that they use LIFO for inventory, but it could be FIFO. Given the November transactions, determine which of the two methods is used. Then, use that same method to value ending inventory for December. Compute December Sales and Cost of Goods Sold, as well, and prepare the journal entries. Assume 80% of Sales are credit sales and the rest are for cash.
