come in before/after school to catch up.
In the packet provided, you will be given all the accounting information for Peak Performance for the
month of August 2014. You will need to apply what you have learned so far to create each of the following
financial statements:
Journal chapter 3
Ledgers chapter 4
Worksheet chapter 6
Income Statement chapter 7
Balance Sheet - chapter 7
Adjusting Entries/Closing Entries Journal chapter 8
Post-Closing Trial Balance chapter 8
Step 1: Journalize the transactions on pages 154-155. You will be using Page 1 of a Journal (skip the
step that says to rule page 1 and start page 2 of a journal)
Step 2: Ignore the directions telling you to do a bank reconciliation - continue journalizing the transactions.
Make sure you go all the way to the end of the month. We will go over the Bank Reconciliation on
Monday.
Step 3: Complete your equality proof and Cash proof at the end of your journal. If your numbers do not
equal, go back and find your errors. YOU MUST FIND AND FIX YOUR ERRORS BEFORE YOU
CAN CONTINUE!
Step 4: Post your amounts to the general ledger. Make sure to put your post reference numbers on your
journal.
Step 5: Create a Trial Balance on the Worksheet using your Ledger account totals. Make sure your debit
and credit totals are in balance.
Step 6: Complete the Worksheet using the information on your Trial Balance. The Adjustments are located
on page 238.
