CASE

PC Depot was a small retail store for personal computers and hand-held calculators, selling several national brands in each product line. The store was opened in early September by Barbara Thompson, a young woman previously employed in direct computer sales for a national firm specializing in business computers.

Thompson knew the importance of adequate records. One of her decisions, therefore, was to hire Chris Jarrard, a local accountant, to set up her bookkeeping system.

Jarrard wrote up the store’s pre-opening financial transactions in journal form to serve as an example (Exhibit 1). Thompson agreed to write up the remainder of the store’s financial transactions for Jarrard’s later review.

    Accounting quantifies operations, summarizing information, giving people the ability to see a situation from different perspectives. It 's one thing to look at sales numbers for the year, but when you combine that with expenses, you can derive many issues, such as if the expenses are too high for sales or if payroll is unusually low, you can make certain decisions about those areas. Accounting numbers help in making sound decisions based on real data and not just a hunch. By looking at accounting numbers you may easily see old accounts receivable that need to be collected, for example. Without accounting data, you may not know who owes what and for how long. These numbers are practical and valuable to any business. Accounting numbers are usually used for analysis and to answer questions.
