Answer:

Explanation:

this is an introductory case and it should be taught as an introductory case.There will be plenty of time in the course for the students to learn the correct form of financial statements and details of accounting standards. In short,the instructor should be prepared to allow a variety of formats for the financial statements and tolerate some“not quite correct” accounting.The instructor may want to have students discuss Carmen’s March 31statement, but the bulk of the class should focus on the three case questions. Anydiscussion of the March 31 statement should deal with the nature of the variousaccounts (i.e. prepaid rent is rent paid in advance of using the property and it is an asset because it has future economic benefits for the company, etc), rather than the format of the statement. It is better to leave the beginning of the course’s instruction in financialstatement formats to the assigned case question discussions.
