Unit 1 Comprehensive Project
In this exercise, you will synthesize all you have learned in Unit 1 (Lessons 15). You will look at the
information that has been compiled for an expanding auto detailing business and then process it in
QuickBooks.
Your instructor may assign this as either an individual or a group exercise. If you are completing this
project individually, you will complete every step. If you are working in a group, you will first need to
determine who will serve in each of these three roles:
Administrator [A]
Accounts Receivable Representative [R]
Accounts Payable and Payroll Representative [P]
You will be keeping the books for the first month for the company, which will be broken down into
sessions. At the end of each session, you will produce deliverables and provide them to your
instructor for evaluation. You can save these deliverables as PDF files or print them, depending on your
own class instructions. You will not be given specifics in many cases, just as you will not be given specifics
when working with your own company. You may need to add new customers, vendors, or other
information on the fly and use your own problem solving and reasoning skills to complete the project.
You are also welcome to use the help and search features in QuickBooks to accomplish the tasks. Now,
lets get started!
Martins wife, Bridget, has managed the business books since the
business opened more than three years ago. She has been using
spreadsheets that came with her home computer but is interested in
a software package that will expand as the business grows.
QuickBooks received high reviews and was recommended at a small-
business seminar she recently attended.

Menu of Services
Packaged Cleaning Services (prices are for small car / large car)
Paint Protection ($90 / $125): This standalone service involves a thorough hand washing and
drying. A Clay Bar is used to remove any paint overspray and contaminants found on your new
vehicle. Then, a high-quality paint sealant is applied, which produces a long-lasting, high-gloss
shine on all automotive paint finishes. The paint sealant provides resistance from UV rays, salt
air, snow, sleet, insects, road film, harsh detergents, and environmental contaminants that can
prematurely fade or discolor automotive finishes. The paint sealant should be reapplied every
six months to sustain color and shine, and to provide protection.

Scenarios
Invoice #14-129 included an Exterior Polish & Wax, a Hand Wash with Interior, Shampoo Carpet, and
Shampoo Upholstery. On 6/29/14, you discovered that the customer should have only been
invoiced for a Full Interior/Exterior Detail package for a small car. Reissue invoice as #14-134.
A check was written to Sullivan Insurance Co. on 06/18/2014 that should have been applied to an
outstanding bill. You also paid this bill in full, so you have paid for the expense twice. On 6/30/2014,
the vendor has issued you a $100 credit for the overpayment.
You deposited $700 from Carson Car Sales directly into the bank, but it should have been applied to
invoice #14-106. Make sure the deposit is recorded on 6/17/14.
You were reviewing your source documents and realized that the bill from Anaconda Water Works
dated 06/14/2014 for $163.20 was incorrectly entered into QuickBooks for $63.20.
You forgot that you had agreed to special pricing of $150 for the Full Interior/Exterior Detail services
for small cars on invoice #14-104. Correct this error for the customer on 6/30/2014, using CR1 as the
credit number. They have chosen to apply the overpayment to a future invoice.
You ran a special for Interior Detail services on June 18 for $50. The sale price was not reflected on
the cash sale for Annette Helsper. Since the customer has already paid for the service, you will need
to issue her a refund check, to be printed, for the difference on 6/30/14. Leslie McGrevy took
advantage of the same offer and she was invoiced (#14-121) for the services. She has chosen to
apply the overpayment to a future service.
You received a damaged case of Mimis Upholstery and Carpet Cleaner (six of the twelve bottles
were damaged) from Hamill Car Detail Supplies. The vendor has issued you a credit on 6/30/14 for
$30 (use a quantity of .5 on the Items tab to arrive at this amount) to account for the damaged
goods. You will use this credit when paying a future bill to the vendor.

Account for this bounced check and send a statement to the customer.
Once you are finished with the preceding scenarios, complete the following tasks on 6/30/2014:
Check-up time! Checking $15,050.70; A/R $1,655.00; A/P ($130.00); Visa $738.11
