Based on the above analysis, we have came up with a Chart of Accounts. In our
analysis however, we added 2 more accounts to properly address the company’s
expense in the preparation of its Income Statement. These 2 accounts are
expense accounts needed to properly address the cost of operating the
business. These are Depreciation Expense, Interest Expense and Allowances
for Bad Debts.
By properly naming the accounts and their relationship to one another, we can
now easily journal and post transactions of the company.
Our Chart of Accounts is as follows:
Assets
Current Assets

Inventory
Accounts Receivable
Less: Allowances for Bad debts

Insurance
Less: Applied Cost
Others: Advance Rent
Fixed Assets
