About Computer Accounting
In Computer Accounting, we learn how to use Excel to calculate the finances of every day life and also those of businesses. We carefully learn how to go from using Excel to an actual accounting program. We are taught how to take stock of merchandise, how to calculate their cost from retail to resale, and how to calculate loss if anything were to be damaged.
So far, we have learned how to handle small businesses and family owned companies. We've learned how any customer returns for products are dealt with and about certain discounts that business may offer customers during sales or resales. Recently, we have begun to learn how to calculate stock in big, corporate owned companies and how to calculate loss and gains within these companys.
We also have an Accounting Notebook that we keep with us. It holds our notes and the vocabulary for each chapter along with questions given to us. We find all the information for both the vocabulary and questions within the book but during lessons, our teacher does give us most of the definitions and answers.
Projects
We have had one big project which was our finals during the first semester. We were to partner up and create our own business complete with service fees, salary fees, rental fees, and anything that an actual business would need. We were to then calculate each months earnings and spendings and use that information to create a whole portfolio that includes all the work that we have learned in the whole first semester.
