After graduating, Pepe and Mary join together to form a new partnership named The Vintage Audio Company (VAC). They sell two items to a specialty market - 8 Track Tapes (8TT), and Cassette Tapes (CT). They use a LIFO system of inventory. The partnership operating agreement states that each partner

• will receive a monthly distribution of $1,000
• a monthly commission allocation of 10 percent of their own sales
• a 1 percent return monthly on their beginning equity, and
• split the remaining profit/loss 60% for Michelle /40% for Mary (in this order).

The monthly distribution and commission allocation are taken during the month as a draw and the journal entries have already been made at the time of payment.

During the month, VAC received a letter from the attorney of Jenny (one of their customers). The letter informed VAC that Jenny had declared bankruptcy and will not be paying the outstanding balance of her account ($300).

Another month is finally over!! Time to "close the books". Your assignment in that process is to first prepare the inventory schedules for the 8TT and the CT, then create the first two required financial statements for the month. To accomplish this assignment, you will use the provided information to calculate the following:

1. Provide the ending inventory schedules for the 8TT and CT in good order with details of each transaction.
2. Create the Income Statement in the proper format, including net sales, COGS, gross profit, expenses, and net income.
3. Create a Statement of Partner's Equity
4. Provide the Net Book Value for the equipment as of April 30, 20xx
5. Provide the journal entries for only the following:
   1. Income allocation between partners (Closing entry for the income summary)
   2. Record the monthly bad debt expense
   3. Record the monthly depreciation expense
   4. Recognize the bad debt write-off for Jenny
