COMPREHENSIVE PROBLEM (Completing the Accounting Cycle – Chapters 1-3)

Murfee Delivery Service is a delivery service company that delivers anything to anyone anywhere. The company intends to stand out due to its strict confidentiality policy forbidding any disclosure of its customers’ personal information, for a profit or otherwise. The company also adds, as part of its robust confidentiality policy, it will never poke fun or humiliate its customers for the ridiculous, and sometimes even embarrassing, items they choose to have delivered.   Murfee Delivery Service began operations on December 1, 2019.
