Continuing Cookie Chronicle
CCC1 Natalie Koebel spent much of her childhood learning the art of cookie-making from her grandmother. They
passed many happy hours mastering every type of cookie imaginable and later creating new recipes that were both
healthy and delicious. Now at the start of her second year in college, Natalie is investigating various possibilities for
starting her own business as part of the requirements of the entrepreneurship program in which she is enrolled.
A long-time friend insists that Natalie has to somehow include cookies in her business plan. After a series of
brainstorming sessions, Natalie settles on the idea of operating a cookie-making school. She will start on a part-time
basis and offer her services in people’s homes. Now that she has started thinking about it, the possibilities seem
endless. During the fall, she will concentrate on holiday cookies. She will offer individual lessons and group
sessions (which will probably be more entertainment than education for the participants). Natalie also decides to
include children in her target market.
The first difficult decision is coming up with the perfect name for her business. In the end, she settles on
“Cookie Creations” and then moves on to more important issues.
Instructions
(a) What form of business organization—proprietorship, partnership, or corporation— do you recommend that
Natalie use for her business? Discuss the benefits and weaknesses of each form and give the reasons for your
choice.
(b) Will Natalie need accounting information? If yes, what information will she need and why? How often will
she need this information?
(c) Identify specific asset, liability, and equity accounts that Cookie Creations will likely use to record its
business transactions.
(d) Should Natalie open a separate bank account for the business? Why or why not?

CCC2 After researching the different forms of business organization, Natalie Koebel decides to operate “Cookie
Creations” as a corporation. She then starts the process of getting the business running. In November 2014, the

Natalie cashes her government bonds and receives $520, which she deposits in her personal bank
account.
She opens a bank account under the name “Cookie Creations” and transfers $500 from her personal
account to the new account in exchange for ordinary shares.
Natalie pays $65 to have advertising brochures and posters printed. She plans to distribute these as
opportunities arise. (Hint: Use Advertising Expense.)
She buys baking supplies, such as flour, sugar, butter, and chocolate chips, for $125 cash.
Natalie starts to gather some baking equipment to take with her when teaching the cookie classes.
She has an excellent top-of-the-line food processor and mixer that originally cost her $750. Natalie
decides to start using it only in her new business. She estimates that the equipment is currently worth
$300. She invests the equipment in the business in exchange for ordinary shares.
Natalie realizes that her initial cash investment is not enough. Her grandmother lends her $2,000
cash, for which Natalie signs a note payable in the name of the business. Natalie deposits the money
in the business bank account. (Hint: The note does not have to be repaid for 24 months. As a result,
the notes payable should be reported in the accounts as the last liability and also on the statement of
financial position as a non-current liability.)
She buys more baking equipment for $900 cash.
She teaches her first class and collects $125 cash.
Natalie books a second class for December 4 for $150. She receives $30 cash in advance as a down
payment.
Natalie pays $1,320 for a one-year insurance policy that will expire on December 1, 2015.
Instructions
(a) Prepare journal entries to record the November transactions.
(b) Post the journal entries to general ledger accounts.
(c) Prepare a trial balance at November 30.
Continuing Cookie Chronicle 3
CCC3 It is the end of November and Natalie has been in touch with her grandmother. Her grandmother asked
Natalie how well things went in her first month of business. Natalie, too, would like to know if the company has
been profitable or not during November. Natalie realizes that in order to determine Cookie Creations’ income, she
must first make adjustments.
Natalie puts together the following additional information.
1.
A count reveals that $35 of baking supplies were used during November.
2.
Natalie estimates that all of her baking equipment will have a useful life of 5 years or 60 months and no
salvage value. (Assume Natalie decides to record a full month’s worth of depreciation, regardless of
when the equipment was obtained by the business.)
3.
Natalie’s grandmother has decided to charge interest of 6% on the note payable extended on November
16. The loan plus interest is to be repaid in 24 months. (Assume that half a month of interest accrued
during November.)
4.
On November 30, a friend of Natalie’s asks her to teach a class at the neighborhood school. Natalie
agrees and teaches a group of 35 first-grade students how to make Santa Claus cookies. The next day,
Natalie prepares an invoice for $300 and leaves it with the school principal. The principal says that he
will pass the invoice along to the head office, and it will be paid sometime in December.
5.
Natalie receives a utilities bill for $45. The bill is for utilities consumed by Natalie’s business during
November and is due December 15.
Instructions
Using the information that you have gathered through Chapter 2, and based on the new information above, do the
following.
(a) Prepare and post the adjusting journal entries.
(b) Prepare an adjusted trial balance.
(c) Using the adjusted trial balance, calculate Cookie Creations’ net income or net loss for the month of
November. Do not prepare an income statement.

CCC5 Because Natalie has had such a successful first few months, she is considering other opportunities to
develop her business. One opportunity is the sale of fine European mixers. The owner of Kzinski Supply Co. has
approached Natalie to become the exclusive distributor of these fine mixers in her state. The current cost of a mixer
is approximately $575, and Natalie would sell each one for $1,150. Natalie comes to you for advice on how to
account for these mixers. Each appliance has a serial number and can be easily identified.
Natalie asks you the following questions.
1.
“Would you consider these mixers to be inventory? Or should they be classified as supplies or
equipment?”
2.
“I’ve learned a little about keeping track of inventory using both the perpetual and the periodic systems
of accounting for inventory. Which system do you think is better? Which one would you recommend for
the type of inventory that I want to sell?”
3.
“How often do I need to count inventory if I maintain it using the perpetual system? Do I need to count
inventory at all?”
In the end, Natalie decides to use the perpetual inventory system. The following transactions happen during the
month of January.

Cookie Creations credit for the cost of mixer plus $20 for the cost of freight that was paid on January
6 for one mixer.
Collected $375 of the accounts receivable from December 2014.
Three deluxe mixers are sold on account for $3,450, FOB destination, terms n/30. (Cost of goods

Paid the $75 of delivery charges for the three mixers that were sold on January 12.
Bought four deluxe mixers on account from Kzinski Supply Co. for $2,300, FOB shipping point,
terms n/30.
Natalie is concerned that there is not enough cash available to pay for all of the mixers purchased.
She invests an additional $1,000 cash in Cookie Creations in exchange for ordinary shares.
Paid $80 freight on the January 14 purchase.
Sold two deluxe mixers for $2,300 cash. (Cost of goods sold is $595 per mixer.)

Paid a $145 utility bill ($75 for the December 2014 account payable and $70 for the month of
January).
Paid Kzinski all amounts due.
Cash dividends of $750 are paid.
As of January 31, the following adjusting entry data is available.
1.
A count of baking supplies reveals that none were used in January.
2.
Another month’s worth of depreciation needs to be recorded on the baking equipment bought in
November. (Recall that the baking equipment has a useful life of 5 years or 60 months and no salvage
value.)
3.
An additional month’s worth of interest on her grandmother’s loan needs to be accrued. (The interest rate
is 6%.)
4.
During the month, $110 of insurance has expired.
5.
An analysis of the unearned service revenue account reveals that Natalie has not had time to teach any of
these lessons this month because she has been so busy selling mixers. As a result, there is no change to
the unearned service revenue account. Natalie hopes to complete the remaining lessons in February.
6.
An inventory count of mixers at the end of January reveals that Natalie has three mixers remaining.

CCC8 One of Natalie’s friends, Curtis Lesperance, runs a coffee shop where he sells specialty coffees and
prepares and sells muffins and cookies. He is eager to buy one of Natalie’s fine European mixers, which would
enable him to make larger batches of muffins and cookies. However, Curtis cannot afford to pay for the mixer for at
least 30 days. He asks Natalie if she would be willing to sell him the mixer on credit.
Natalie comes to you for advice. She asks the following questions.
1.
“Curtis has given me a set of his most recent financial statements. What calculations should I make with
the data from these statements, and what questions should I ask him after I have analyzed the statements?
How will this information help me decide if I should extend credit to Curtis?”
2.
“Is there an alternative other than extending credit to Curtis for 30 days?”
3.
“I am thinking seriously about being able to have my customers use credit cards. What are some of the
advantages and disadvantages of letting my customers pay by credit card?”
The following transactions occurred in June through August 2015.
June 1
After much thought, Natalie sells a mixer to Curtis on credit, terms n/30, for $1,150 (cost of mixer
$620).
30
Curtis calls Natalie. He is unable to pay the amount outstanding for another month, so he signs a
one-month, 8.25% note receivable.
July 31
Curtis calls Natalie. He indicates that he is unable to pay today but hopes to have a check for her at
the end of the week. Natalie prepares the journal entry to record the dishonoring of the note. She
assumes she will be paid within a week.
Aug. 7
Natalie receives a check from Curtis in payment of his balance owed.
Instructions
(a) Answer Natalie’s questions.
(b) Prepare journal entries for the transactions that occurred in June, July, and August. (The company uses a
perpetual inventory system). Round calculations to nearest dollar.
Continuing Cookie Chronicle 11
CCC9 Natalie is thinking of buying a van that will be used only for business. The cost of the van is estimated at
$36,500. Natalie would spend an additional $2,500 to have the van painted. In addition, she wants the back seat of
the van removed so that she will have lots of room to transport her mixer inventory as well as her baking supplies.
The cost of taking out the back seat and installing shelving units is estimated at $1,500. She expects the van to last
about 5 years, and she expects to drive it for 200,000 miles. The annual cost of vehicle insurance will be $2,400.
Natalie estimates that at the end of the 5-year useful life the van will sell for $7,500. Assume that she will buy the
van on August 15, 2015, and it will be ready for use on September 1, 2015.
Natalie is concerned about the impact of the van’s cost on her income statement and statement of financial
position. She has come to you for advice on calculating the van’s depreciation.
Instructions
(a) Determine the cost of the van.
(b) Prepare three depreciation tables for 2015, 2016, and 2017: one for straight-line depreciation (similar to the
one in Illustration 9-9), one for double-declining balance depreciation (Illustration 9-13), and one for unitsof-activity depreciation (Illustration 9-11). For units-of activity, Natalie estimates she will drive the van as
follows: 15,000 miles in 2015; 45,000 miles in 2016; 50,000 miles in 2017; 45,000 miles in 2018; 35,000
miles in 2019; and 10,000 miles in 2020. Recall that Cookie Creations has a December 31 year-end.
(c) What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s statement of financial position at
December 31, 2015? What impact will the three methods have on Natalie’s income statement in 2015?
(d) What impact will the three methods of depreciation have on Natalie’s income statement over the van’s total
5-year useful life?
(e) What method of depreciation would you recommend Natalie use?

CCC10 Natalie is thinking of repaying all amounts outstanding to her grandmother. Recall that Cookie Creations
borrowed $2,000 on November 16, 2014, from Natalie’s grandmother. Interest on the note is 6% per year, and the
note plus interest was to be repaid in 24 months. Recall that a monthly adjusting journal entry was prepared for the
months of November 2014 (1/2 month), December 2014, and January 2015.
Instructions
(a) Calculate the interest payable that was accrued and recorded to July 31, 2015, assuming monthly adjusting
entries were made.
(b) Prepare the journal entry at August 31, 2015, to record one month’s accrued interest.
(c) Natalie repays her grandmother on September 15, 2015—10 months after her grandmother extended the loan
to Cookie Creations. Prepare the journal entry for the loan repayment.

CCC11 Natalie and her friend Curtis Lesperance decide that they can benefit from joining Cookie Creations and
Curtis’s coffee shop. In the first part of this problem, they come to you with questions about setting up a corporation
for their new business. In the second part of the problem, they want your help in preparing financial information
following the first year of operations of their new business, Cookie & Coffee Creations.
CCC11 Part 1 Curtis has operated his coffee shop for 2 years. He buys coffee, muffins, and cookies from a local
supplier. Natalie’s business consists of giving cookie-making classes and selling fine European mixers. The plan is
for Natalie to use the premises Curtis currently rents to give her cooking- making classes and demonstrations of the
mixers that she sells. Natalie will also hire, train, and supervise staff to bake the cookies and muffins sold in the
coffee shop. By offering her classes on the premises, Natalie will save on travel time going from one place to
another. Another advantage is that the coffee shop will have one central location for selling the mixers.

*Cookie Creations decided not to buy the delivery van considered in Chapter 9.
Combining forces will also allow Natalie and Curtis to pool their resources and buy a few more assets to run
their new business venture.
Curtis and Natalie then meet with a lawyer and form a corporation on November 1, 2015, called Cookie &
Coffee Creations Inc. The articles of incorporation state that there will be two classes of shares that the corporation
is authorized to issue: ordinary shares and preference shares. They authorize 100,000 no-par shares of ordinary
shares, and 10,000 no-par shares of preference shares with a $0.50 non-cumulative dividend.
The assets held by each of their businesses will be transferred into the corporation at current market value.
Curtis will receive 10,550 ordinary shares, and Natalie will receive 14,630 ordinary shares in the corporation.
Therefore, the shares have a fair value of $1 per share.
Natalie and Curtis are very excited about this new business venture. They come to you with the following
questions:
1.
“Curtis’s dad and Natalie’s grandmother are interested in investing $5,000 each in the business venture.
We are thinking of issuing them preference shares. What would be the advantage of issuing them
preference shares instead of ordinary shares?”
2.
“Our lawyer has sent us a bill for $750.When we discussed the bill with her, she indicated that she would
be willing to receive ordinary shares in our new corporation instead of cash for her services. We would
be happy to issue her shares, but we’re a bit worried about accounting for this transaction. Can we do
this? If so, how do we determine how many shares to give her?”
Instructions
(a) Answer their questions.
(b) Prepare the journal entries required on November 1, 2015, the date when Natalie and Curtis transfer the
assets of their respective businesses into Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc.
(c) Assume that Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. issues 1,000 $0.50 non-cumulative preference shares to
Curtis’s dad and the same number to Natalie’s grandmother, in both cases for $5,000. Also assume that
Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. issues 750 ordinary shares to its lawyer. Prepare the journal entries for each
of these transactions. They all occurred on November 1.
(d) Prepare the opening statement of financial position for Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. as of November 1,
2015, including the journal entries in (b) and (c) above.

CCC12 Natalie has been approached by Ken Thornton, a shareholder in The Beanery Coffee Inc. Ken wants to
retire and would like to sell his 1,000 shares in The Beanery Coffee, which represent 30% of all shares issued. The
Beanery is currently operated by Ken’s twin daughters, each of whom owns 35% of the ordinary shares. The
Beanery not only operates a coffee shop but also roasts and sells beans to retailers, under the name “Rocky
Mountain Beanery.”
The business has been operating for approximately five years. In the last two years Ken has lost interest and left
the day-to-day operations to his daughters. Both daughters at times find the work at the coffee shop overwhelming.
They would like to have a third shareholder involved to take over some of the responsibilities of running a small
business. Both feel that Natalie and Curtis are entrepreneurial in spirit and that their expertise would be a welcome
addition to the business operation. The twins have also said that they plan to operate this business for another ten
years and then retire.
Ken has met with Curtis and Natalie to discuss the business operation. They have concluded that there would be
many advantages for Cookie & Coffee Creations Inc. to acquire an interest in The Beanery Coffee. One of the major
advantages would be volume discounts for purchases of the coffee bean inventory.
Despite the apparent advantages, Natalie and Curtis are still not convinced that they should participate in this
business venture. They come to you with the following questions.
