Bella Vista is the sole proprietor of Oceanview Beach House Hire. Bella has been successfully operating Oceanview Beach House Hire, a short-term beachside accommodation business, for the last six years. The business has managed twenty beachside houses which can accommodate from two up to twenty guests. Bella has been so busy with the management of the business that she has been unable to attend to the bookkeeping, so she has recently hired Pompano & Tarpon Accounting Solutions Pty Ltd to take over the accounting function.
You are a graduate accountant working at Pompano & Tarpon Accounting Solutions Pty Ltd and have been given responsibility for preparing the monthly general journal entries for Oceanview Beach House Hire. The following is a list of transactions that took place during the month of February 2019 that you need to record.

Aba Daba Doo Bank have booked each of the three houses for 4 nights at a cost of $1,200 per night per beach house. Aba Daba Doo have paid a 40% deposit in cash and they will pay the remaining amount when they arrive.
