<b>A. Business Introduction </b>

The Vietnamese pastry market is one of the fastest growing in Southeast Asia. With a large and young population, Vietnam is a strongly competitive segment in the field of consumer goods. This has created an attractive startup area for Gen Z. “The Vietnamese pastry market is one of the fastest growing in Southeast Asia and still has strong potential for continued growth. This market is chasing the latest technologies to keep pace with global trends.” (Kao Sieu Luc, General Director of ABC Bakery, October 16, 2019). However, for the bakery industry, starting a business is even more difficult because the number of bakeries increases weekly and monthly. Competition is increasing, so it is necessary to have a suitable business roadmap, and short-term and long-term plans, to avoid getting lost and not finding the right direction in the pastry business.

After careful consideration and calculation, we decided to open a cake distribution shop with an investment of 1.5 billion VND. The company officially came into operation on January 1, 2022. Deli - Company is a company specializing in the distribution of cakes in the Vietnamese market. The target audience is large and small pastry shops and people with large demand for cakes nationwide. During its operation, the company constantly looks for new sources of raw materials and creates many different kinds of cakes. Our company always strives to do that with the desire to meet the needs of the market and consumers.

However, getting started as a bakery distributor requires a significant capital investment and a certain level of expertise in sales, production, and management. Because this is the first year of the company's establishment and operation, it is inevitable that there will be shortcomings. Our report (Deli-CompanyTM) will analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the cake distribution business, report the business activities and prepare the company's first year financial statements.

<b>B. Summary of the accounting cycle </b>

Our accounting cycle consists of 9 basic steps

<b>- Step 1: Analyze transactions: Here we have recorded all transactions affecting the company's </b>

finances. It helps us to see how a company's business transactions affect its assets, liabilities,

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 4</span><div class="page_container" data-page="4">

the table below.

- <b>Step 2</b>: General Journal: In the general journal, each transaction is recorded with a journal entry, with the transaction date, transaction description, affected accounts, and debit and credit amounts. It is an important tool for companies to easily and accurately track their financial transactions. From there, it helps to make financial reporting more effective. In our general

<b>journal, total debits equal to total credit is 4,342,973,333 VND. </b>

<b>- Step 3: General Ledger: We use the T-account method to record relevant data. </b>

- <b>Step 4</b>: Prepare unadjusted trial balance: Ensuring that the debits and credits in the general ledger are equal is the main purpose of the unadjusted trial balance. In addition, it also helps the company to avoid errors (if any) in the accounting records before making adjustments. The unadjusted trial balance shows that total debits and credits equal <b>2,251,123,333 VND. </b>That shows that the company has made the right decision in financial recognition.

- <b>Step 5</b>: Adjustment: Adjusting entries are necessary to accurately reflect certain transactions or events that have occurred but have not yet been recorded. These entries include accruals for revenues or expenses that have been earned or incurred but have yet to be recorded, as well as deferrals for revenues or expenses that have been recorded but relate to a future accounting period.

At the end of the period, Deli made the following adjustments

a. An analysis of the company insurance policies shows that VND of coverage has 1 year expired.

b. An analysis of prepaid rent policies shows that VND of coverage has 1 year expired. c. An inventory count shows that merchandise costing 44 million VND is available on Feb

28.

d. The company purchased equipment on January 1, 2022. It cost 500 million VND and is expected to have a 200 million VND salvage value at the end of its predicted 5-year life. e. On June 1, the company agreed to provide cakes in the eight-month course (starting

immediately) for a Yum bakery. The contract calls for a monthly fee of 6,1 million, and Yum Bakery paid the first seven months’ fees in advance. When the cash was received, the Unearned cake fees account was credited.

f. The company will pay employees on the 5th of each month. December 5 falls on a Monday, December 31 falls on Saturday, and January 5, 2023 falls on Thursday. The company paid 15 million VND in cash for 3 months. The company hired 3 employees g. Adjust transaction from June 1.

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 5</span><div class="page_container" data-page="5">

trial balance is prepared to show the updated account balances. This adjusted trial balance is used to prepare the financial statements. In our adjusted trial balance, total debits equal to total

<b>credit is 2,314,123,333 VND. </b>

<b>- Step 7: Prepare statements: Use adjusted trial balance to prepare financial statements. The </b>

income statement shows the company's revenues and expenses for the accounting period,

<b>resulting in net income or net loss, so net profit is 105,093,333 VND. The balance sheet presents </b>

the company's assets, liabilities, and equity at a specific point in time. In our balance sheet, total

<b>assets equal to total liabilities and equity is 1,593,600,000 VND. </b>

<b>- Step 8: Closing process: At the end of the accounting period, temporary accounts, such as </b>

revenue, expense, and dividend accounts, are closed to the retained earnings account. This involves transferring their balances to the appropriate account to reset the balances for the next accounting period. After closing entries, total capital is <b>1,455,093,333 VND. </b>

- <b>Step 9</b>: Prepare post-closing trial balance: After the closing entries have been made, another trial balance is prepared to ensure that the debits still equal the credits and that all temporary accounts have been closed. This post-closing trial balance serves as the starting point for the next accounting period. <b>Total debits equal to total credit is 1,593,600,000 VND. </b>

<b>❖ Profitability Ratios: </b>

Gross Profit Margin = (Sale - Cost of Goods Sold) / Sale

= (675,616,667 123,000,000) *100/ 675,616,667 <b> - </b>

= 81.79% Net Profit Margin = Net Profit / Net sales

= (105,093,333 / 660,616,667)*100 =15.91%

Return on Assets (ROA) = Net Income / Total Assets

</div><span class="text_page_counter">Trang 21</span><div class="page_container" data-page="21">

= 6.59%

Return on Equity (ROE) = Net Income / Shareholders' Equity = 105,093,333 / 1,455,093,333 = 7.22%

The company's gross profit margin is 81.79%, which is quite high. That shows that the company has the ability to distribute its goods without losing too much in the production and supply process.

Net profit margin is at a high level with a specific figure of 15.91%. Thereby, we also see that the company's financial strength is stable, not depending on debts to do business too much.

Debt-to-asset ratio of the company is low at 7.04%. This is a good sign, showing that the company uses less debt than its assets. At the same time, the company has good debt management ability.

The debt-to-equity ratio of the company is low at 7.71%. This shows that the company is using its equity more than debt. Thereby, we also see that the financial strength of the company is at a stable level, not depending on debts to do business too much.
