Well, this is exciting, I think! Start with calculating the value of
three months sales (income) and determine what 50% of that is for the
entries. Once you have that, get your Statement of Cash Flows out and
look at the middle section, Investment Activities. You will make a
positive entry in the paid in Sale of Equipment or Property line to
account for the income. You also need to account for the loss of the
recurring contacts by reducing the number of contracts by 50%. To best
make this entry, add a number of contracts that you are losing as a
negative number on the P&L under Income # Of New Recurring Contracts.
Because you are responsible to service those contracts through the end
of the month, you will not reduce the number of contracts by ½ until
next month so make a note of it.

thing for the staff member that fell. You also recently changed peanut
types to a water soluable type which also increased the "bounce"
factor beyond the incident. For the impact to your business, you get

pretty easy. Just take the number that you had last month and put that
number in the spot for new recurring contracts for this month. For the
next two months, you start the monthly calculations by determining 10%
of the recurring contracts and adding that to whatever other increases
(or decreases) you experience for the month.
