Forest City Tennis Club
  [Home] [Up]

The Forest City Tennis Club--Pro shop Bar and Lunge case is designed to reinforce your understanding of basic bookkeeping. Please IGNORE the instructions at the end of the case and follow those provided below:

  1. Use an Excel spreadsheet to record the transactions identified in the case. Please set up an Excel worksheet with the following general structure:

Note that the worksheet structure above enables you to keep track of each entry, and to easily compile an income statement and balance sheet.

Submission requirements:

PLEASE follow these instructions closely. They are designed to ensure that I get your work, that I can identify it as your work, and that I can evaluate it carefully and accurately.

  1. Individual work is required for all parts of the assignment. Separate answers derived from a "common" worksheet do NOT constitute individual work and will be treated as academic dishonesty, with full penalties applied. [= you flunk the assignment in a best-case scenario]
  2. Professional-looking work is expected. Form and format count; treat all your work as though it was going to be reviewed by someone you REALLY wanted to impress [significant other, grandma, the "boss," graduate school admissions officer, etc.] 
  3. Electronic copy [Excel file ONLY] due no later than 7:45 am PDT on September 14th, 2010. Late receipts go to cyberheaven.
    1. email subject line: forest city final; messages with other subject lines will be ignored and deleted.
    2. Excel filename: yourlastnameforestcity.xls; files with other filenames will be ignored and deleted.
  4. Hard copy due no later than the start of class, and should consist of a well-formatted printout of your Excel worksheet; use the print setup capability to repeat the account titles in Column A on each page as necessary. Poorly printed work gets zippo credit.
