1 PEACHTREE COMPLETE 2009 Workshop 7 The Paint Place Mini Practice Set Working With a Perpetual Inventory System In this final workshop you will review key concepts for a perpetual inventory system by exploring the features in Peachtree s Inventory module. As usual, the tasks in this workshop build on skills learned in previous workshops, so be sure to complete Workshops 1 through 6 before beginning this one. You will need to download the Paint Place data file for Peachtree 2009 from the MyAccountingLab website before beginning this workshop. Refer to the Installing Peachtree Complete Accounting and Student Data Files document for instructions on downloading this file. One of the most powerful features of a computerized accounting system is its ability to maintain perpetual inventory records easily and accurately. You already experienced this in the previous workshop. Peachtree Complete Accounting accommodates using the FIFO, LIFO or average costing methods of inventory. In addition, you can choose to value all inventory under one costing method or set the costing method by item. And now for some background on The Paint Place. This company, owned by Mike Poole, sells various types of paint. The company uses the Inventory module to track inventory. All items in inventory are valued under the average costing method. The company also uses the Customer and Vendor modules to sell and purchase inventory. The Paint Place extends payment terms of 2/10, n/30 to all customers. Likewise, vendors extend the company discount payment terms. Information on the company s inventory at February 29, 2008 appears next.
