Can you make me a Analysis for my case Study? Tom Baxter, sole owner and general manager of Lamrock Ltd., knew that he was in trouble. Sally
Hedger, the companys accountant, had slammed the door and walked out of the building yesterday
afternoon. Hedger had a temper that Baxter had observed in the past, but nothing like the explosion that
occurred yesterday. When Hedger did not show up this morning, Baxter was pretty sure that he had seen
the last of her for this week.
Unfortunately, Baxter had to take a set of Lamrock Ltd.s unaudited financial statements for review to the
bank tomorrow. This review was one of the conditions the bank had put in place to maintain Lamrocks
loan agreement. This was Lamrocks fourth year in business, and Baxter relied heavily on the banks
willingness to finance the firms capital investments needed for operations. He did not want to postpone
the bank meeting for fear that the loans manager would become concerned about Lamrocks outstanding
loans.
For several reasons, Baxter did not want to bring in another accountant to prepare the statements: the
accountant would question every number; it was highly unlikely that he could hire an accountant on such
short notice; and the cost would be prohibitive. Consequently, since Hedger had left a printout with the
names of the accounts and their final balances for the fiscal year on her desk (see Exhibit 1), Baxter
decided to put into practice what he learned from his basic accounting course five years ago. He planned
to organize the accounts and their balances and prepare the firms income statement, statement of retained
earnings and the balance sheet1
for the fiscal year ending March 31,2014. Since Hedger had not yet done
Marchs bank reconciliation and Baxter did not have the necessary information to do one, he would
plug for the cash balance on the companys balance sheet.
