Even Springs Trading CompanyA Practice Problem

INTRODUCTIONThis short practice problem gives you, the student, an opportunity to practice the accounting concepts and skills acquired in an introductory financial accounting course. The objective of the practice problem is to have you complete a comprehensive example of the accounting cycle.
