In difficult economic times, the practice of having a lot of money to buy valuable items for immediate consumption is not easy at all. Knowing this fact, a series of installment sales company, finance company associated continuously offer attractive programs to increase the power of consumers, as well as it helps sell the business assets of great value easier. Thus, that is why it becomes very popular nowadays. Because of its popularity, our group decided to make a research about it for some reasons. First of all, all the information is useful for us in practice so it is worth studying. Secondly we have a chance to understand and apply our old lessons that we have just studied in Financial Accounting 1 and 2. The knowledge that we have learned in class and information from the internet were used as data for use to carry out the research successfully. Most of information in this research was written by our understanding and the rest is on the Internet. The general conclusion can be that installment sale is an essential activity for any business and its record is quite simple. Besides that, it's still much to learn. So the information above is worth reading.
