Exercise 5

YOUR NAME LANDSCAPE AMD POOL SERVICE
Chapter 3 continues with the transactions for bills, bill payments, and purchases for Your Name Landscape and Pool Service. Cash control measures have been implemented. Laura prints the checks and any related reports; and you, the owner, sign the checks.
INSTRUCTIONS
Continue to use the company file that you used in Chapters 1 and 2 Landscape.qbw. Record the bills, bill payments, and purchases as instructed within the chapter. Always read the transactions carefully and review the Chart of Accounts when selecting transaction accounts. Print reports and graphs as indicated.
