Presentation for Case 4-1
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.
