Bar Harbor Blueberry Farm
The Bar Harbor Blueberry Farm is a family – owned, 200 – acre farm that grows and sells blueberries to grocery
stores along the central coast, blueberry wholesalers, and small roadside stands. Bar Harbor has 25 full-time
employees and usually hires 150 to 200 seasonal workers for the harvest.
For the past six summers, you have picked berries for Bar Harbor during the summer breaks from high school and
college. Now that you have graduated with a degree in accounting, you were recently hired full-time as the farm
accounting/office manager for Bar Harbor. Until now, Bar Harbor kept most of its accounting records in a big file
box. Jack Phillips, the owner, would like a more organized approach to the farm’s accounting records. He asked you
to establish a proper set of books for the farm. Your first day on the job you find a stack of invoices from suppliers
that need to be recorded. You decide to start by establishing appropriate journals and ledger for these transactions.
The following are a set of vendor invoices and a few partially completed journals and ledgers. Your job is to record
these transactions and update the appropriate ledgers. Be sure to leave a proper audit trail.
