Question

You have “volunteered” as an unpaid intern to keep the books for my company that sells hotdogs at the beach. I established the business on September 1 and officially started selling hotdogs 3 days later.

Below are the transactions for September.

September 1                 The owner contributed $20,000 to the business to start the operations.

September 2                 Purchased a fully equipped hotdog cart for $15,000. Paid $5,000 upfront and put the remainder of the balance on account.
