ASAC010 Assignment #1

Software Advisors Limited1

Software Advisors Limited was organized on January 1, 2017, to provide customized support to
design and maintain in-home computer networks. The company does not have any full-time
employees other than the principal shareholder and manager, Manroop Dhariwal. Instead it
hires consultants to perform the work for the company. Initially, the company and the
consultant split the revenue evenly. Consultants who stay with the company or who have
special expertise increase their percentage of client revenue to as much as 70% of the total
billing. This is an incentive for consultants to stay with the company and to develop their range
of skills.

Software Advisors Limited plans to use the following chart of accounts:

1000 Cash 4500 Retained Earnings

Your assignment must be prepared and filed as an Excel workbook. Detailed formatting
requirements for assignments are found on the course website under Course Deliverables,
Assignment Format Requirements. Please ensure that any numbers that have been calculated
in the assignment are supported by workings (which can be in the Excel cell or linked to an
Excel cell elsewhere in your file), so we can effectively diagnose the cause of any errors. Do not
use Excel as a word processor, i.e. all calculations must be made in Excel, not on a
calculator and then keyed in.
