The aim of the study is to determine whether Debro’s Wholesale is operating at a profit or a loss. Data was gathered from source documents and posted to the journals, ledgers and final accounts. The performance of the business was determined by using ratios.
Debro’s Wholesale is a newly developed and simulated entity located at 12 Anchovy Main Road and owned by DebbieAnn Rowe who is the sole proprietor. Debro’s Wholesale offers a variety of food items and miscellaneous goods, serving most of the island in its convenient location. The supermarket employs fifteen staff along with Ms. Rowe who is acting as owner/manager. There are three supervisors and twelve general workers who act as shelf stackers, cashiers, as assistance and security.
The accounting records are kept on double entry principles, with all the necessary journals, ledgers, a cash book, trial balance and balance sheet.
Debro’s Wholesale allows some of their customers to buy on credit and they also buy from many retailers on credit
