Accounts Receivable
When you go to trade fairs, most of your sales will be charge sales. A charge sale means that the customer will pay you later for the service or merchandise that they just bought. There is considerably more accounting work to be done for a charge sale verses a cash sale. You need to keep track of all of these customers, what they bought, the price of these items or services and how to contact them. Collectively all of these charge sale amounts are classified as a general ledger account called accounts receivable. First, let's look at an invoice. This is the form you fill out when you complete the sale. The invoice is the source document for recording the sale of merchandise or service on account. A sample invoice is included. Just click on the link for invoice to see a sample. Why don't we practice on filling out an invoice. During a trade fair, you want to be sure to fill it out quickly and accurately. Remember, a judge looks at how you handle the paper work during the judging of salesmanship. Remember to give the customer a copy and save one for yourself. Here is the information for the invoice. Remember to print out a copy when finished. A new bride to be, her father, the maid of honor and the best man go to Bromley's in preparation for the upcoming wedding. Dad has generously opted to pay the bill for the formal wear. His name is George Mason. His business is Mason Contractors. His home address is 4720 Alamar, Santa Barbara, CA 93101.

Remember to multiple the quantity for the tuxedos by two. Add up all amounts to get a subtotal. Calculate the tax by multiplying the subtotal by .0775. The percentage of sales tax is calculated differently by each county. To convert a percentage to a decimal, move the decimal point two places to the left. For example, 7 1/2 percents would be written as 7.5%. When you move the decimal to the left, the decimal equivalent is .075. Add the tax to the subtotal to get the total of the invoice. When done, press the Verify Invoice button to see if any essential information is missing. You must fill in the top half of the invoice, at least one item, the subtotal, sales tax total and person making the invoice.
