Question

It is the last day of the month and fiscal year, your manager asks you to create an invoice for $10,000 (debiting Accounts Receivable and Crediting Sales) and send it to a specified customer. Normally invoices are sent to customers when products have been shipped or the service has been finished. You manager tells you that we will be shipping equipment and performing the setup services for this customer next month (as early as next week).

How would the company’s financial statements (and the users of the financial statements) be affected if you record this entry?
