Overview
Chloe is a longtime bicycling enthusiast. Although she is a good cyclist, Chloe is not at

In the .pdf file named PDF FOR MIDTERM EXAM, I describe all the relevant

to each transaction/event as an item. I’ve assigned each item a number. There
are 15 items.

Regarding items 14 and 15, which relate to transactions and events that
occurred throughout the month of May, you should describe the related
transactions/events as if they occurred on May 31, 2023 (i.e., the last day of
the month).
In the Excel workbook there is a separate worksheet for each item and you
should enter your answers in the worksheet that relates to the corresponding
item. For example, if you are describing the effect of item 10, you would use
the Excel worksheet named ITEM 10.
To illustrate how to enter your answers in the Excel worksheet, let’s consider
an example involving XYZ. Suppose the following:
o At the beginning of Day 1 XYZ’s (1) cash account had a balance of
100; (2) inventory account had a balance of 200; and (3) retained
earnings account had a balance of 1,000.
o During Day 1 a transaction/event caused XYZ’s (1) cash to increase
by 10; (2) inventory to decrease by five; (3) revenues to increase by
10; and (4) cost of sales to increase by five.
In the Excel worksheet named XYZ EXAMPLE, I show how to describe the
effect of the transaction/event on XYZ’s assets, liabilities, equity, revenues,
and expenses. Note:
o BB and EB are the acronyms for beginning balance and ending
balance.
o + and – denote positive and negative changes.
o I do not list all of the line items on XYZ’s balance sheet and income
statement. Rather, I only list the line items that were affected.
o The transaction did not affect any of XYZ’s liabilities. Hence, I do
not list any specific liabilities. Rather, I enter “Liabilities” in cell G4,
and then I enter “No effect” in cell H4.
