Assignment: Principle to Accounting

Read the course syllabus and skim the topics covered in this course by reading the Table of Contents and all of the material before the first chapter and skimming the rest of the textbook. (Invest roughly two hours on this skimming and reading.)

a. Identify two or three items from your review that are the most interesting to you, list them and sketch out why in preparation for producing your assignment submission.

Debits and Credits: Analyzing and Recording Business Transactions

Banking Procedure and Control of Cas

b. Identify two or three items that are the least interesting to you, list them and sketch out why in preparation for producing your assignment submission.

Merchandise Company Worksheet and Accounting Cycle

Calculating Pay and Payroll Taxes

c. Reflect on the real world event you posted in the discussion forum (when it occurred, what it was, and why you believe it relates to what you will learn in this course).

Create and submit a written assignment document addressing items a, b, and c above and taking into account insights learned from the discussion forum. This submission must be written using APA style and format (cite your source for your real world event or news article).

Your submission should be roughly 1000 words in length (between three and four pages, assuming roughly 300 words on an average page in an APA compliant paper). This should take roughly four hours for you to write, so monitor your performance to stay within this time limit.
