The Widget Company is a small company with only a few employees. Its line of business is to purchase several items from a line of widgets and resale them to other companies. The Company owns one small shop with two rooms, one for sales and office work, and one for product receiving and shipping. The company is owned by a group of investors and it is organized as a corporation. Widget Company uses a straight-forward financial accounting information system.
