Introduction
This school based assessment is based on a sole trader entrepreneur, Sidnay Bingham, who owns and operates a business that makes and sells durable umbrella for kids. It was located at an unoccupied room at the back of her house where she employed two persons. Entries were recorded in Ledgers, Journals and Cash Book. There was a preparation of a Manufacturing, Trading and Profit and Loss Account and the extraction and draft of a Balance Sheet and Trial Balance for the month. Receipts, Invoices, Bank Document, Debit and Credit note were also written up. A minimum of four accounting ratios were calculated and comments were made on the performance using charts. Recommendations were also made. All entries were made on the month of May.
