Students should first prepare the approximately 10 necessary journal entries (Information on page 5 of this packet) for the month, post them and prepare the unadjusted trial balance BEFORE preparing the adjusting entries. You should use the adding mechanisms through excel to add and complete the worksheet, and the related financial statements.

An appropriate adjusting entry to record cost of goods sold is required. The perpetual inventory method is to be used, but inventory is not adjusted for each sale. It is only necessary to adjust inventory at the end of the month. (The entry at the end of the month would be a debit to cost of goods sold and a credit to inventory.)

Background:

In march 2001, a group of individuals formed the Bright Landscapes Corporation. At the time of incorporation, Bright was given authorization to sell 100,000 shares of common stock with a $4 par value. As of June 30, 2017, 15,000 shares were issued and outstanding.

The goal of Bright Landscapes is to provide quality trees and shrubs, as well as law and garden tools, to its customers at low prices. To keep these low prices, Bright sells the landscapes materials but does not provide planting services. Although Bright as some over-the-counter cash sales of merchandise to individuals, its largest amount of business results from credits sales to contractors and businesses.

Bright has a calendar year end, however, a one month period of time will be used in this practice set with adjusting entires prepared at month end of July 31,2012. Bright uses a perpetual inventory system, but will record the cost of items sold at the end of the month through an adjusting entry. Not all accounts will have transactions in the month of July.
