Several years ago, your brother opened Niagara Appliance Repairs. He made a small initial investment and added money from his personal bank account as needed. He withdrew money for living expenses at irregular intervals. As the business grew, he hired an assistant. He is now considering adding more employees, purchasing addi- tional service trucks, and purchasing the building he now rents. To secure funds for the expansion, your brother submitted a loan application to the bank and included the most recent financial statements (shown below) prepared from accounts maintained by a part-time bookkeeper.
Indicate the accounts that might need to be adjusted before an accurate set of finan- cial statements can be prepared. c. Why did the loan officer ask your brother whether he used the accrual basis of accounting for revenues and expenses? Why would it have been important to use this method?
