The objective of this assignment is for you to become familiar with the process of entering transaction data into a manual accounting system and to test your understanding of accounting concepts and practice. To undertake this assignment, you need to enter the transaction data contained in this information sheet in the appropriate journals and ledgers, prepare the required reports and answer the additional questions detailed below.
Working in groups
As indicated in the Unit Outline, you are required to work in groups of two or three on the assignment. If you are a Distance student you may opt to undertake this assignment individually. I would assume face to face students have already formed groups.
A group performance form can be found at the end of this information sheet. This form must be attached to the assignment when submitting the assignment. If it is drawn to my attention that a member of a group is not making a reasonable contribution, then that person will be required to submit an individual assignment and will be subject to the late penalty.
Marking scheme
The assignment will be marked out of 50. Part A is worth 40 marks, Part B is worth 20 marks and Part C is worth 20 marks. Part A involves entering the transaction data into the manual accounts and Part B involves entering a set of conceptual questions.
Penalties will be incurred for:
• Late submission (10% of mark deducted for each working day late);
