    ACCT11081 Annual Reports 财务会计 assignment 代写
    The assignment for this unit is made up of eleven (11) steps. As you complete these
    eleven steps, you will find your company’s annual reports and have a look at them. You
    will then practice aspects of the recording process using Excel. You will also create a Trial
    Balance from your company’s financial statements, and explore its Inventory and
    Depreciation policies. You will also have the opportunity of creating a set of business
    transactions for your company, recording these in MYOB software and producing a set
    of financial statements using MYOB. As well, you will have the opportunity to experience
    how interacting with others in the unit may be able to help you to better understand the
    concepts we will be studying.
    Introduction
    It is expected everyone will have already set up your personal profile on Moodle and your
    blog (which you will have done in ACCT11059 Accounting, Learning & Online
    Communication). This will help others in the unit to get to know you, as we all work
    together to learn and develop further our own personal insights into the world of
    accounting.
    If you have not done this already, you will need to set up your personal profile on Moodle
    and your blog now. To do this, please follow these instructions.

    Step 1: (2 marks)
    Step 1 involves you writing down some of your ideas, reflections and reactions to reading
    Chapter 1 Sections 1.1 – 1.3 in the Study Guide.
    Read Chapter 1 Sections 1.1 – 1.3 in the Study Guide. Read it like you would a novel or
    any book, actively seeking to engage with the author (who is me) and to understand
    what you are reading. What is the author trying to say? Let the author take you on a
    journey: go with him and see what you think of some of the key ideas and concepts
    being discussed.
    And while you do this, note down key concepts that occur to you. That’s right; just write
    them down as you go along. Write them in your own words. Also, include any questions
    that occur to you as you are reading. What do you find confusing, difficult to
    understand or believe, boring, exciting or surprising? Include some of your key
    concepts and questions (KCQs) in a Word document.
    Your personal engagement with the reading is what I am interested in. Do not simply
    summarise the readings. I will say it again, do not simply summarise the readings. I
    am interested in your reactions, understanding, and questions from the readings. I
    know what the readings say, as I wrote them. So simply giving me a summary of the
    readings will not be telling me anything I do not already know.
    Use the words “I” and “me” in your Step 1. Different people will have different
    reactions to the readings. Tell me what your reactions are. This is what I am interested
    in. Do not tell me what you think I might want to hear. Be genuine and honest in your
    reactions to the readings. Give me something of yourself in your Step 1.
    Please allow up to about 2 hours to complete Step 1 (if you have English as your
    second language, it may take you more time).
    Step 2: (2 marks)
    Step 2 involves you writing down some of your ideas, reflections and reactions to reading
    Chapter 1 Section 1.4 and Chapter 2 in the Study Guide.
    Read Chapter 1 Section 1.4 and Chapter 2 in the Study Guide. Read it like you would a
    novel or any book, actively seeking to engage with the author (who is me) and to
    understand what you are reading. What is the author trying to say? Let the author take
    you on a journey: go with him and see what you think of some of the key ideas and
    concepts being discussed.
    And while you do this, note down key concepts that occur to you. That’s right; just write
    them down as you go along. Write them in your own words. Also, include any questions
    that occur to you as you are reading. What do you find confusing, difficult to
    understand or believe, boring, exciting or surprising? Include some of your key
    concepts and questions (KCQs) in a Word document.

    Your personal engagement with the reading is what I am interested in. Do not simply
    summarise the readings. I will say it again, do not simply summarise the readings. I
    am interested in your reactions, understanding, and questions from the readings. I
    know what the readings say, as I wrote them. So simply giving me a summary of the
    readings will not be telling me anything I do not already know.
    Use the words “I” and “me” in your Step 2. Different people will have different
    reactions to the readings. Tell me what your reactions are. This is what I am interested
    in. Do not tell me what you think I might want to hear. Be genuine and honest in your
    reactions to the readings. Give me something of yourself in your Step 2.
    Please allow up to about 3 hours to complete Step 2 (if you have English as your
    second language, it may take you more time).
    Step 3: (3 marks)
    Step 3 involves you identifying your own company, posting on your blog some
    background information on your company and its industry, and commenting on other
    people’s blogs.
    Find your Firm’s Annual Report and Spreadsheet
    Go to the list of companies on Moodle called ‘Find Your Company’. This will be available
    in the top central panel in Moodle from 5.00pm Friday 14 July (Week 1). For those not
    enrolled in our unit by then (and we should, of course, be enrolled in our units no later
    than two weeks before term starts), you will need to email your Unit Coordinator,
    Martin Turner at m.turner@cqu.edu.au to be allocated a company.
    Find the company you have been given and click on its URL. This will take you to your
    firm’s website, where you should be able to find your firm’s annual reports under the
    Investors or Investor Relations section. This section might also be called Shareholders’
    Information, Financial Information or something similar. For some companies, in the
    ‘Find Your Company’ list there is a comment in the Notes section to help you navigate
    your firm’s website. Save a soft copy of the Annual Report for your firm for each of the
    last three years. For example, if your firm’s latest Annual Report is for the year ended
    31 December 2016, save your firm’s Annual Reports for 31 December 2016, 31
    December 2015 and 31 December 2014.
    Only save your firm’s Annual Reports. Do NOT save its interim or half-yearly reports;
    also, do not save its concise annual reports. You can ignore these. Only save its full
    Annual Reports (with its full financial statements) for each of the last three years. I also
    suggest you have a quick browse through your firm’s website. This will give you some
    initial insights into your firm’s operations and activities.
    If you have any difficulty finding your firm’s Annual Reports, or would like to check you
    have the right ones, please ask your lecturer or tutor for assistance (if you are studying
    at one of our locations). If you are studying by distance, please email me (Martin Turner,
    your unit co-ordinator) at m.turner@cqu.edu.au.
    A key initial step for you to achieve in your Assignment is to make sure you have got
    hold of your firm’s Annual Reports for the last three years. As each Annual Report will
    ACCT11081 Introductory Financial Accounting – Assignment
    Page 4 of 16

    ACCT11081 Annual Reports 财务会计 assignment 代写
    have two years of financial statements, this will mean you will have the financial
    statements for your firm for the last four years. The other key thing for you to do is to
    check that your firm has inventory in its balance sheet; and that it has depreciation in its
    financial statements.
    Note: If your firm does not have inventory or does not have depreciation in its
    financial statements, please email your Unit Co-ordinator Martin Turner at
    m.turner@cqu.edu.au and he will give you a new company.
    Read Your Firm’s Annual Report: Identify Clearly What Your Firm Does
    Carefully and thoughtfully read through your firm’s latest Annual Report. For example,
    your firm’s latest Annual Report may be for the year ended 31 December 2016. While
    you do this, note down key concepts and questions (KCQs) that occur to you. Identify
    areas of your firm’s financial statements you are having difficulty understanding, areas
    of its business that seem most important or critical to you, key challenges the firm
    appears to be facing, how successful it appears to be in meeting these challenges and its
    apparent strategy. Some people’s companies may have very long annual reports. There
    is no need to read every word (or page) of your firm’s Annual Report. Simply seek to
    gain an initial familiarity with your firm and its latest Annual Report.
    Discuss your KCQs with other people in our unit, for example with those at your own
    location, or online on our unit Facebook page, on the forums on Moodle, or through our
    various blogs or by email. You can click on the link to our unit’s Facebook page in the
    Communication box in Moodle and ask to be given access. What similarities or
    differences are there between your firm and the firms of other people, and in the way
    they present their financial statements? Are you happy with the firm you have been
    given, or would you have preferred to be given a different company? What concerns, if
    any, do you have at this stage? How have you found your firm in our unit this term,
    compared to the company you had in ACCT11059 Accounting, Learning & Online
    Communication? Have you found it easier, or perhaps more difficult, to read your firm’s
    annual report and consider what its activities are, compared to when you read your
    firm’s annual report in ACCT11059?
    Know Your Firm
    Find useful news articles, blogs and videos about your firm, its industry and some of the
    opportunities and challenges your firm is facing. Provide links to these resources in your
    Word document and on your blog. Also, comment on some other students’ blogs about
    their firms. My company is Ryman Healthcare. Here are links to two videos produced by
    groups of residents in two of Ryman Healthcare’s retirement villages. They are quite a
    bit of fun: 80-odd Years of Happy and 80-odd Years of Disco. And they give some insights
    into Ryman Healthcare’s business and customers. The first video, 80-odd Years of
    Happy, has gone viral and has over 8 million views. There is also a great video on the
    launch of the myRyman app in 2016; and another on the launch of a new staff uniform;
    and the work that went into the design of the new uniform. What do these videos
    suggest about the culture management are seeking to support at Ryman Healthcare?
    Discuss with others, perhaps face-to-face (f2f), through our blogs, Facebook, Moodle
    forums or email about what you learnt about each other’s firms. Also, discuss with
    ACCT11081 Introductory Financial Accounting – Assignment
    Page 5 of 16
    others about how discussing with others helped, or did not help, you to understand
    more about what your firm does and about aspects of its business performance.
    Please allow up to about 4 hours to complete Step 3.
    Step 4: (5 marks)
    Step 4 involves you practising the recording process.
    This activity aims to consolidate your understanding of the concepts we have been
    studying by considering your own personal finances; and producing a basic set of
    financial statements for yourself by using your bank/loan account and credit/debit
    card account transactions.
    First, obtain all the bank statements for each of your personal accounts (savings,
    cheque, loan, credit and debit cards) for the same period (choose a reasonable
    period in which the volume of transactions will not overwhelm you, for example it
    might be for a period of one month). You also do not need to include all your
    transactions. You only need to include those you are happy to include in your
    assignment. You can also use fictitious (or partly fictitious) transactions, if you would
    prefer.
    Decide on what chart of accounts you wish to have (see Chapter 3, pages 82-84
    Hoggett et al, 2015). Please go through each of your statements, line by line, and
    ‘classify’ each transaction. In this way, create your chart of accounts. For example,
    assume this was your bank statement for the month of January 2017 (first three
    columns). You might go through and classify each transaction as follows (fourth
    column):
    Date  Amount ($) Transaction Details  Category in my chart of accounts
    1/01/2017  197.29  INTEREST  1-1 Interest Income
    3/01/2017  (120.10)  PAYMENT TO GMHBA LTD 2-1 Private Health Insurance Expense
    3/01/2017  (17.73)  PAYMENT TO InsuranceLine 2-2 Income Protection Insurance Expense
    3/01/2017  (32.00)  DIRECT DEBIT - DEBIT TO Virgin Mobile  2-3 Telephone Expense (mobile)
    4/01/2017  981.50  DEPOSIT FROM XYZ PAY FOR 4/01/2017  1-2 Income - salary and wages
    5/01/2017  (695.35)  INTERNET BANKING BILLPAY TMR REG RENEW  2-4 Vehicle Expense (registration)
    11/01/2017  981.50  DEPOSIT FROM XYZ PAY FOR 11/01/2017  1-2 Income - salary and wages
    16/01/2017  (100.00)  FUNDS TRANSFER Chinese Orphans Assis  2-5 Expense - Donations/Gifts
    16/01/2017  (100.00)  FUNDS TRANSFER Chinese Orphans Assis  2-5 Expense - Donations/Gifts
    17/01/2017  692.75  DEPOSIT FROM ABC Pay fortnight 17/01/2017  1-2 Income - salary and wages
    18/01/2017  981.50  DEPOSIT FROM XYZ PAY FOR 18/01/2017  1-2 Income - salary and wages

    Please use Excel to do this task.
    If you have online banking, you can do the above very simply by choosing a date
    range, and simply exporting this to a CSV file, which can be opened in Microsoft
    Excel. You can then classify your chart of accounts in the next column.
    Please note: you need to use Excel for this step, to allow you to complete the next
    step, where you will be linking cells and using simple formulas in Excel.
    When you have classified your transactions and created your chart of accounts,
    please then prepare a simple Income Statement for yourself, as follows:
    My Name
    Income Statement
    For the month ended 31 January 2017
    $
    INCOME 
    Interest Income  197.29
    Income - salary and wages  4,618.75
    TOTAL INCOME  4,816.04
    EXPENSES 

    ACCT11081 Annual Reports 财务会计 assignment 代写
    Private Health Insurance Expense  120.10
    Income Protection Insurance Expense  (17.73)
    Telephone Expense (mobile)  (67.00)
    Vehicle Expense (registration)  (695.35)
    Expense - Donations/Gifts  (200.00)
    General Living Expenses (Food, fuel)  (1,060.67)
    TOTAL EXPENSES  (2,160.85)
    Profit/ (Loss) for the period  2,655.19
    Note that the items listed as income and expenses are directly from your chart of
    accounts. You are simply grouping each transaction by your classification.
    To use Excel’s linking features, simply type ‘=’ to start a formula in the cell that you
    wish to link (for example, you can link the interest figure of $197.29 in your Income
    Statement directly to the bank statement figure for this interest). This is particularly
    important when grouping more than one figure; for example, grouping the figures
    for Income – Salary and Wages. You would begin with ‘=’ and then click on each bank
    statement figure for the pays you received, pressing ‘+’ in between each, and hitting
    ‘Enter’ to complete the linking. Excel then automatically sums these pays as
    $4,618.75. You can also enter formulas for the Profit/(Loss) for the period by typing
    ‘=’, then click on the TOTAL INCOME figure, and ‘+’ the TOTAL EXPENSES figure.
    You can access the actual Excel file used in this exercise, which is available on
    Moodle, so that you can see how the Income Statement is linked.

    Please include your Excel spreadsheet in this Step.
    Also, please include your thoughts and key concepts and questions that occur to you
    as you complete this process. What insights have you gained from completing the
    recording process of your own personal transactions? Will this be something that
    you continue and expand upon in future (for example, create your own Balance
    Sheet)?
    Please also describe your responses to the following questions:
    a) What is the chart of accounts so far, as illustrated in this example? What is your
    own chart of accounts? Is it like the one shown here? Remember, you can add to
    your chart of accounts as you classify more of your own transactions.
    b) What level of detail could you change in the chart of accounts shown in this
    activity? Why might you want to do this?
    c) How might you analyse your Income Statement? Has this exercise of recording
    your transactions through to the financial statements been useful for you? If so,
    why; if not, why not?
    Please allow up to about 5 hours to complete Step 4.
    Step 5: (6 marks)
    Step 5 involves you creating a Trial Balance in a spreadsheet, using your company’s
    financial statements.
    Please read Chapter 3 (pages 87; 105-107) from Hoggett et al (2015) (the textbook for
    our unit) to help you to complete this Step.
    You can find a template Trial Balance spreadsheet by clicking on ‘Template Spreadsheet’
    link in the top centre box on Moodle.
    A Trial Balance is one form of control used for the double-entry recording process; that
    is, to see if ‘debits match your credits’. A trial balance is simply a listing of the chart of
    accounts of an entity in terms of debits and credits (DR and CR). It is a ‘trial’ of whether
    these ‘balances’ match (hence the name). It is also a convenient list of a firm’s ledger
    balances that can be used to develop a firm’s financial statements.
    We will be looking at the Trial Balance ‘in reverse’. In this step, you will create your
    firm’s Trial Balance using your firm’s financial statements. The two main financial
    statements you will be using to complete your Trial Balance are the Income Statement
    and the Balance Sheet. You may also need to refer to the Statement of Changes in
    Equity when checking that the profit/loss allocated to the equity section matches your
    firm’s revenue less expenses. You will not need to use the Statement of Cash Flow for
    this step.
    Open your firm’s Trial Balance worksheet by clicking on the Trial Balance tab in your
    template spreadsheet.
    You will find in this worksheet some space for you to enter your firm’s Trial Balance.
    Carefully enter each of the accounts from the most recent year of your company’s
    ACCT11081 Introductory Financial Accounting – Assignment
    Page 8 of 16
    Income Statement and Balance Sheet, either under the DR or CR columns. Do this for
    the most recent year only. Enter your Trial Balance accounts in the order of Assets,
    Liabilities, Equity, Revenue and Expenses. Once you have successfully completed your
    Trial Balance, your DR and CR column total figures should be the same (i.e. ‘balance’).
    Tip: Your firm’s financial statements may be called a range of different names,
    such as Consolidated Statement of Financial Position (which is your firm’s
    Balance Sheet) and Consolidated Statement of Financial Performance (which
    is your firm’s Income Statement).
    Tip: We use our firm’s consolidated or group accounts; not its parent or company
    accounts.
    Sit back and reflect on what you have just completed. Discuss with others, perhaps face-
    to-face (f2f), through our blogs, our unit Facebook page, Moodle forums or email, about
    what you have learnt by doing a Trial Balance for your firm. Also, discuss with others
    about how your firm’s financial statements link together. In your Word document,
    include your reflections and your comments about what you gained (or did not gain)
    from your discussions with others.
    Please allow up to about 5 hours to complete Step 5.
    Step 6 (2 marks)
    Step 6 involves you providing (and receiving) feedback to three other students in our unit
    on their draft ASS Steps 3-5.
    The main benefit for you of Step 6 is in giving quality and thoughtful feedback to others
    in our unit. The process of thinking about the feedback you give to others will help you
    greatly with your own assignment as you think about what the assignment requires and
    how others have addressed these requirements for their own companies.
    Prior to 5.00pm Friday 4 August 2017 (Week 4), please:
    • post draft work of your ASS Steps 3-5 on your blog;
    • provide a link to your blog on the Draft ASS Steps 3-5 Feedback Forum and post
    in the Draft ASS Steps 3-5 Feedback forum a comment that your draft ASS Steps
    3-5 is ready for student feedback and, if you wish, specific areas where you
    would particularly value feedback for your ASS Steps 3-5.
    Prior to 5.00pm Thursday 10 August 2017 (Week 5), please ensure you have provided
    quality feedback to at least three other students, using the Peer Feedback Sheets for
    ASS Steps 3-5 (see below).
    Include the feedback you have given to at least three other students in the unit in your
    ASS Steps 3-5. Also, include and/or comment on any feedback others may have given
    you on your draft ASS Steps 3-5.
    Also, comment in your Step 6 whether you found feedback from other students useful
    and why this was, or was not, the case. You can include in your discussion both how
    useful (or not) you found feedback you received from other students through your
    ACCT11081 Introductory Financial Accounting – Assignment
    Page 9 of 16
    interactions with them f2f, on discussion forums, Facebook, on our blogs and through
    other means.
    Please allow up to about 2 hours to complete Step 6.
    Please submit your ASS Steps 3–6 as a Word document and Excel spreadsheet.

    Step 7: (5 marks)
    Step 7 involves you exploring the inventory practices of your firm.
    Please read Chapter 6 (page 236) and Chapter 19 (pages 802-829) from Hoggett et al
    (2015) (the textbook for our unit) to help you complete this Step.
    Inventory often forms a significant part of a firm’s business (although not all firms have
    inventory; for example, Ryman Healthcare does not have any inventory). Go to your
    firm’s annual reports that you downloaded as part of Step 3. Open each soft copy file
    and search for where ‘inventory’ is referred to. You may find your document has a
    search function. You can also find comments on inventory in the notes to your firm’s
    financial statements. Read these comments to get a feel for how your company
    manages its inventory. Make sure that you do this for EACH year for which you have
    downloaded an annual report.
    As you are doing this, write down the key concepts that you find interesting, and
    whether they relate to each year or just one year. You will find specific information
    about your firm’s inventory policies as part of the detailed notes to the financial
    statements. Note the figures for Inventory for your firm. Are they large or small
    numbers? What do these figures mean? You might find that your firm’s note on
    inventory contains key terms such as Raw Materials, Work in Progress, Finished Goods,
    Net Realisable Value. (see Chapter 8 p.346, Hoggett et al, 2015 - the textbook for our
    unit).
    What does your firm disclose (and not disclose) about its inventory? Has your firm
    changed its inventory practices over the years that you are reviewing? If so, why? How
    might this have affected your firm’s financial statements? What type of inventory
    system does it use (perpetual or periodic)? What method of inventory does it use
    (weighted average, FIFO, LIFO, specific identification)? What are some of the associated
    issues and costs that your firm might be facing with its inventory management? Why
    might this be the case? Are there any areas where you think your firm could improve its
    inventory management? How did you identify these areas? If you have had any
    experience with inventory, make sure you also describe these experiences.
    Please allow up to about 5 hours to complete Step 7.
    Step 8: (5 marks)
    Step 8 involves exposing you to a commonly used accounting software. In this step, you
    will learn how to use MYOB AccountRight.
    In ACCT11059 Accounting, Learning & Online Communication you were introduced
    briefly to accounting systems and cloud computing. Did you know that you can ‘try-
    before-you-buy’? Most computerised accounting systems will provide an option where
    you can trial a version of their software for free (usually for a period up to 30 days). In
    this step, we will trial MYOB software, one of the leading small business accounting
    software in Australia.
    Important note: You only have 30 days within which to trial MYOB for free, beginning
    from the date that you download and install it onto your computer. You will need this
    software to complete Steps 8 and 9 of this assignment, so please ensure you are able
    ACCT11081 Introductory Financial Accounting – Assignment
    Page 11 of 16
    to complete both steps within 30 days from the time that you install MYOB onto your
    computer.
    Go to the MYOB website and click on Try FREE for 30 Days. Then, you can learn how to
    use this software for free. Remember: when you set this up in your computer, you only
    have 30 days to complete Steps 8 and 9.
    MYOB offers tutorials for operating their products. Simply choose which product you
    have downloaded for the trial version (AR AccountRight), click on the ‘Start Learning’
    button and follow through the prompts. Allow about 1.5 hours for the initial training on
    set up, and a further 3 hours for learning how to use the software.
    As part of completing this training, take a screen shot* of your last screen/transaction in
    MYOB in each of the two phases (setup and training), and include both screen shots in
    your Word document as evidence you have completed the set up and training. If you do
    not include two screen shots showing your completion of the set up, and completion of
    the training, you will not receive marks for this aspect.
    Then, go to the EzyLearn MYOB Online Training Skills Test and complete the 13-
    question quiz. You have 30 minutes within which to complete the quiz; however, if you
    are reasonably competent in MYOB it should take you far less time (perhaps about 10
    minutes). Take a screen shot of your results (provided on screen when you complete the
    13 questions) and include this in your Word document for this step. Again, if you do not
    include this screen shot*, you will not receive any marks for completing the quiz.
    *If you do not know how to create a screen shot, please read the Guide for how to
    complete a screen shot, or the Guide to Windows Snipping, or the Guide for Mac users.
    Please allow up to about 5 hours to complete Step 8.
    Step 9: (8 marks)
    Step 9 involves you creating a set of business transactions for your company, recording
    these in MYOB, and producing a set of financial statements from MYOB.
    Every day, you engage in and perform ‘transactions’. For example, filling up your car
    with fuel (and paying for it) is a transaction. In your financial records, if you were to
    record this transaction, it would appear as a DR to Fuel Expense and a CR to your
    Cash at Bank asset (or a CR to your Credit Card Liability).
    Tip: Increases in Expenses are debits; decreases in Assets (and increases in
    Liabilities) are credits. See Study Guide Chapter 1, Section 1.4 on the three
    things you need to memorise.
    To record this transaction in MYOB, you would use the ‘Spend Money’ function in
    the Banking command centre to record this transaction.
    So then, you can think of transactions as the interactions between customers and
    suppliers and a business. Transactions can be very simple, like our fuel example
    above, or more complex. If you look up any business dictionary, you will probably get
    a formal definition for a transaction such as “A transaction is an economic event that
    ACCT11081 Introductory Financial Accounting – Assignment
    Page 12 of 16
    initiates a recording process in a business accounting system.” However, as you have
    seen, even if you do not have an accounting system (and, yes, most people probably
    do not keep track of their personal fuel expenses in an accounting system) you can
    still be creating transactions; even if you do not record them.
    In this step, you need to create a set of ten (10) hypothetical business transactions
    that might be realistic for your allocated firm. Please ensure that the set of business
    transactions are related to your firm’s industry and operations. You will need to
    include your set of business transactions in your Word document for this Step.
    Once you have created your set of business transactions, you will then need to
    record them in your MYOB trial software. There are two ways in which you can
    complete this: either create a NEW company file in MYOB and record them there, or
    use your existing Clearwater file, and create your business transactions using dates
    after the last transaction for Clearwater.
    For this step, please create a NEW company file.
    Using a new file will require you to completely set up again; however, your reports
    will only reflect the business transactions that you created.
    Once you have recorded your business transactions, you will need to export the All
    Journals report to Excel and include this in your Step 9. Use the MYOB help and
    tutorials, the unit Facebook page, Moodle discussion forums and/or discuss f2f with
    others in our unit about how to generate this report.
    You then need to generate a set of financial statements: Income Statement, Balance
    Sheet, and Cash Flow Statement. Again, use the MYOB help and tutorials, the unit
    Facebook page, Moodle discussion forums and/or discuss f2f with others in our unit
    about how to generate these reports. Include these financial statements in your
    Word document submission for this Step; either export them to Excel, and copy and
    paste them into your Word document, or take a screen shot of each and include the
    screen shots into your Word document.
    Now we get to the exciting part. Take a good look at your financial statements. What
    story do you think they are telling you? What I am interested in is YOUR interpretation
    of these financial statements. What tools might you use to analyse these financials?
    Why? Include (in your Word document) your analysis and discussion about the story
    your financial statements are telling you about your company.
    Please allow up to about 9 hours to complete Step 9.

    Step 10: (5 marks)
    Step 10 involves you describing your firm’s Depreciation policies and creating
    Depreciation journal entries based on your firm’s financial statements.
    Please read Chapter 20 (pages 846-869) from Hoggett et al (2015) to help you complete
    this step.
    Go to your firm’s annual reports that you downloaded as part of Step 3. Open each soft
    copy file and search for where ‘depreciation’ is referred to. You may find your document
    has a search function. You can also find comments on depreciation in the notes to your
    firm’s financial statements. Read these comments to get a feel for how your company
    manages its inventory. Make sure that you do this for EACH year for which you have
    downloaded an annual report.

    ACCT11081 Annual Reports 财务会计 assignment 代写
    As you are doing this, write down the key concepts that you find interesting, and
    whether they relate to each year or just one year. You will find specific information
    about your firm’s depreciation policies as part of the detailed notes to the financial
    statements, and your firm may possibly have ‘depreciation and amortisation’ listed in its
    Income Statement as a major expense account. You will also find that ‘Accumulated’
    depreciation and amortisation may be listed in your firm’s Balance Sheet, or in a
    detailed note that relates to certain assets in the balance sheet (these assets may be
    called ‘Property Plant and Equipment’). Note these figures down as part of your key
    concepts.
    Has your firm changed its depreciation methods over the years that you are reviewing?
    If so, why? How might this have affected your firm’s financial statements? What type of
    depreciation method does it use (for example, straight-line, reducing balance, units of
    production)? Is depreciation a significant expense for your firm? Why or why not?
    Using the information from your firm’s financial statements (mainly the Balance Sheet,
    Income Statement and the relevant notes), identify at least three journal entries that
    may have been processed by your firm’s accountants when recording your firm’s
    depreciation. The journal entries can include numbers you have made-up, or
    alternatively be simply noted as ‘XXX’. Write the three journal entries as part of your
    response to this Step, in your Word document. What effect do these journal entries
    have on your firm’s financial statements? Are there any areas where it might be possible
    to manipulate these entries?
    Please allow about 5 hours to complete Step 10.
    Step 11: (2 marks)
    Step 11 involves you providing (and receiving) feedback to three other students in our
    unit on their draft ASS Steps 7-10.
    The main benefit for you of Step 11 is in giving quality and thoughtful feedback to others
    in our unit. The process of thinking about the feedback you give to others will help you
    ACCT11081 Introductory Financial Accounting – Assignment

    • post draft work of your ASS Steps 7-10 on your blog;
    • provide a link to your blog on the Draft ASS Steps 7-10 Feedback Forum and post
    in the Draft ASS Steps 7-10 Feedback forum a comment that your draft ASS Steps
    7-10 is ready for student feedback and, if you wish, specific areas where you
    would particularly value feedback for your ASS Steps 7-10.
    Prior to 5.00pm Thursday 21 September 2017 (Week 10), please ensure you have
    provided quality feedback to at least three other students, using the Peer Feedback
    Sheets for ASS Steps 7-10 (see below).
    Include the feedback you have given to at least three other students in the unit in your
    ASS Steps 7-10. Also, include and/or comment on any feedback others may have given
    you on your draft ASS Steps 7-10.
    Also, comment in your Step 11 whether you found feedback from other students useful
    and why this was, or was not, the case. You can include in your discussion both how
    useful (or not) you found feedback you received from other students through your
    interactions with them f2f, on discussion forums, Facebook, on our blogs and through
    other means.
    Please allow up to about 2 hours to complete Step 11.
    Please submit your ASS Steps 7–11 as a Word document and Excel spreadsheet.
