Aims
The purpose of completing this School Based Assessment for Principles of Accounts was having the opportunity of running a business with my classmates and applying accounting principles in a practical business environment. Another aim was to run the business as a team to make a profit and provide a stationery service to the St. Augustine Girls’ High School population.
Description of Entity
The business run by the form four Principles of Accounts students is the Business Student Co-operative (BSC). This co-operative is an ongoing concern inherited from the previous class. Students became members by purchasing shares which constituted the business’ capital. A sample of the share certificate will be later seen on page ___.
The BSC is a retailer of stationery and gift items. It is a monopoly because it is the only seller of stationery in the school as students cannot leave.
The target market for the business is the St. Augustine Girls’ High School population. Cash and credit purchases were made from Charrans and Mrs. Fawzia Ali. Sales conducted were mainly on a cash basis. The school’s bursar acted as the business’ banker.
The opening hours were 7:00am to 7:45am and 11:45am to 12:25pm. Closure of the business was on Public holidays, Sports Day and school activities. Sales conducted were kept in a sales record book.
In this SBA, two accounting periods were examined, Period 1 and 2. Period 1 ran from October 26th to November 27th, 2009 and Period 2 ran from January 11th to February 12th, 2010.
