Foundations of Accounting Assignment
Once you have completed the assignment below, you must submit your answers using the answer sheet provided in Canvas (in the Assignments area); not all answers will be turned in. Once submitted, your answers cannot be changed. Where appropriate, partial credit will be given. The teaching assistants and I can help you on Part A of the assignment, but not on Part B. Unlike a quiz, you may work with other classmates if you wish, but you must submit your own work. You should keep a copy of your answers outside of Canvas.
