MAA261 – Financial Accounting – Trimester 1 2022 Assessment Task 2 – Manual processing (Individual)

DUE DATE AND TIME:                    Week 6, Friday 15^th April 2022, 8:00pm (AEDT) PERCENTAGE OF FINAL GRADE:           15%

Description and requirements

This assessment task is designed to test your understanding of the accounting principles required to record various accounting transactions including tracking inventory through an inventory stock card and balance day adjustments.

You first need to generate your own assignment based on your Student ID. Navigate to the MAA261 Unit site à Content à Assessment Resources à Assignment 2 and download/save the following file: MAA261 T1 2022 Assignment 2.xlsx

Please make sure you use Microsoft Office Excel 365¹ to complete the assignment.

Open the MAA261 T1 2022 Assignment 2.xlsx file and navigate to the “Student details” tab. Fill in your Student ID², first and last name. Navigate to the “Case” tab for case details including business’s opening balances, transactions for the month and additional information.

In the “Stockcard & General Journal” tab, you are required to (this is what you will be marked on):

1. Prepare the stock card for the month. The stock card will help you calculate Cost of Goods Sold and any inventory loss/gain that you need when recording transactions for the month
2. Record transactions in the general journal for the month (narrations are not required) including opening balances and balance day adjustments

Note that each student generates an assignment with a unique set of values.

Assignment 2 is expected to take substantial time to complete and directly helps you prepare for the exam as you practice many of the tasks you could be asked to do in the exam, such as preparing general journal entries and maintaining inventory records.

Learning Outcomes

This task allows you to demonstrate achievement towards the unit learning outcomes. The ULOs are aligned with specific graduate learning outcomes – that is, the skills and knowledge graduates are expected to have upon completion of their studies – and this assessment task is an important tool in determining achievement of those outcomes.

If you do not demonstrate achievement of the unit learning outcomes, you will not be successful in this unit. It is good practice to familiarise yourself with the ULOs and GLOs as they provide guidance on the knowledge, understanding and skills you’re expected to demonstrate upon completion of the unit. In this way they can be used to guide your study.

Unit Learning Outcomes (ULO)	Graduate                  Learning Outcomes (GLO)
LO1 Apply International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) or equivalent Australian accounting standards (AASB) to record or critically analyse complex transactions and other events.	GLO1: Discipline Specific Knowledge and Capabilities GLO4: Critical Thinking GLO5: Problem Solving
LO2 Apply professional judgement to evaluate the accounting policies used to prepare financial statements.
