If you are completing this project manually, then I suggest that you use T-accounts as your General Ledger.

For each transaction below, record journal entries in proper format before you post to the ledger.

Use the following accounts:  Cash, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Equipment, Supplies, Capital, Drawing, Repair Revenue, Prepaid Insurance, Wages Expense, Utilities Expense, Depreciation Expense, Accumulated Depreciation, Insurance Expense, Supplies Expense, Wages Payable

Note:  These Accounts are already set up for you in the Chart of Accounts in the Excel Document that has been provided.
