The president of AISExperts Inc., has asked you to develop a flexible financial statement package (call the file yournameFinState17), using Excel that includes:
a data entry sheet
an adjusted trial balance,
a single-step income statement,
a multi-step income statement,
a statement of retained earnings,
a classified balance sheet, and
a post-close trial balance
Each statement must be on one sheet in the file and this file should allow the financial statements to be prepared quickly by entering account balances in the appropriate cells on the first sheet of the file (book) only - data entry sheet. All other statements should be linked to either the data entry sheet or another statement.
Include percentages in the Income Statement (vertical analysis) i.e. gross profit percentage, % of selling expenses to sales, etc.
Your file must contain documentation with comments.
Use the financial information above as input for your statements. Only formulas/cell references should appear on all sheets except your data entry sheet (except titles and dates; dates and titles should be placed at the top of the each sheet; do not use headers).
Arriving at the correct solution using appropriate formulas and the correct format for financial statements will allow you to keep your current position (with a score of 85). The presentation of the financials (i.e. underlining, bold, font, commas, color etc.) will potentially enable you to secure a promotion (an additional 15 points).
