Assignment 01
Due 08 April 2013, 4 p.m.

Assignment 01 will be marked out of 40 marks and is worth 4% of your final grade. Overall Presentation Communication: A high standard of written expression and presentation is expected of your assignment. Correct spelling and grammar are essential. Discussions should be concise, structured in a logical order, and relevant to the question. Refer to The Business of Writing: Written Communication Skills for Commerce Students by E. Manalo, G. Wong-Toi, and M-L. Hansen, 3rd edition, 2009. Referencing: APA referencing is to be used only where necessary however you DO NOT need to reference the assignment question. However, you DO need to reference your textbook (or any other text) IF you have QUOTED or PARAPHASED it. (See the library course page on the ACCTG 101 Cecil home page for details on how to use APA referencing). Always answer the questions in your own words. Presentation: Typed on A4 paper using Arial font and 11 font size. If calculations or tables are required for an answer they should be set out neatly and labelled clearly. Bullet point answers are acceptable only if the whole sentence makes sense. Plussage: It is important that you attempt this assignment to the best of your ability in order to qualify for plussage (see details in course book document on Cecil for details). Hand in: Please make sure that you hand your assignment into the correct box. Do not post it in the RETURN box as it will NOT be marked. The POSTING boxes are directly behind the lift on level 0 in the OGGB building. Workings: For any calculation type questions, you should show all workings, no matter how trivial they may be. This is good practice for the test and exam. Questions 40 marks

    Financial records tell you how much income your business is generating and how it’s being spent on things like overheads and products etc. You can then create a profit and loss balance sheet, this is important so that your financial advisor can then tell you what is going good or what is going bad and from that he can direct you on what to do. If a business doesn’t keep it right with the bill then they cou8ld end up in trouble with the HM Revenue and customs (HMRC). If the business doesn’t record the cash transactions correctly then it cannot report its financial bills. The sales records will be updated regularly; this should give you a good idea on how the business is doing through sales, receiving payment, paying expenses and so on.
