Written Assignment

Submit a paper which is 2-3 pages in length (no more than 3-pages), exclusive of the reference page. Paper should be double spaced in Times
New Roman (or its equivalent) font which is no greater than 12 points in size. The paper should cite at least three sources in APA format. 

In this paper, in addition to presenting the

computed answers, please also discuss how you arrived at each answer the
accounting problem
asks. The accounting problem presents a company’s balance
sheet, income statement, and statement of cash flows for a theoretical company,
Polly’s Pet Products. Each of these statements has blank lines. Determine the
values that would be appropriate for each blank line. Provide a
narrative of
how you arrived at each value. Include in this narrative an explanation of:

1) the financial statement being

completed;

2) the account being valued;

3) its relationship to the other financial data.

For example, if the accounts payable (AP) line was

missing, describe what a balance sheet is and explain that you can derive the
AP value
based on knowing all the other values of the current liabilities
section. Then explain what an account liability is, as well as why it would
belong in the current liabilities section of the balance sheet. Finally, analyze,
evaluate, and develop a conclusion about the company’s
performance based on the
completed statements.

To complete this assignment, refer to the income statement, balance sheet,

and statement of cash flows of Polly’s Pet Products.

Superior papers will mention and explain the

following elements when responding to the assignment question:

Provide correct balances for the blank financial account lines.

Define the financial statement being completed.
Discuss how the values were determined.
Define and explain each account line that was
completed.
Analyze, evaluate, and
develop conclusions about the company’s performance based on the financial
information.

Be sure to use APA formatting in your paper.  Purdue University’s Online Writing LAB (OWL) is a free website that provides excellent
information and resources for understanding and using the APA format and style. The OWL website can be accessed
here: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/

This assignment will be assessed using the BUS 5110 Unit 1 Written Assignment rubric.
