Part A. Recording Transactions and Preparing Financial Statements
Cathy Zhong successfully completed her first accounting course. She is now working as a graduate for First National Bank. One of her friends, Zane Jones, is taking the same accounting course and has been having difficulty understanding the material. On the second exam, for example, Zane became confused about inventory valuation methods. He completely missed all the points on a problem involving withted average and First In First Out (FIFO) methods for determining the cost of inventory. Zane’s instructor recently indicated that the third exam will probably have a number of essay questions dealing with accounting concepts and prinicples issuses. Zane is quite concerned about the third exam for two reasons. First, he has never taken an accounting exam in which essay answers were required. Second, Zane feels he must do well on this exam to get an acceptable grade in the course. Zane has asked Cathy to help him prepare for the next exam. She agrees, and suggests that Zane develop a set of possible questions on the accounting principles material that they might discuss.
