On May 1, 20X1, Wrigley Corp. provided services worth $50,000 on account. At that time, Wrigley debited "Accounts Receivable" and credited "Service Revenue" for $50,000. On June 1, 20X1, Wrigley agreed to convert the account receivable to a 12-month, 12%, note receivable. The customer will pay Wrigley $50,000 plus interest on June 1, 20X2. Interest on the note is compounded annually. Note: Round all interest calculations to the nearest whole month. How much total interest will Wrigley eventually earn on the Note Receivable?

$50,000 x 12% x 12/12 = $6,000

Determine the correct inventory amount. Umatilla Bank and Trust is considering giving Pohl Company a loan. Before doing so, it decides that further discussions with Pohl's accountant may be desirable. One area of particular concern is the Inventory account, which has a year-end balance of $275,000. Discussions with the accountant reveal the following. Pohl sold goods costing $55,000 to Hemlock Company FOB shipping point on December 28. The goods are not expected to reach Hemlock until January 12. The goods were not included in the physical inventory because they were not in the warehouse. The physical count of the inventory did not include goods costing $95,000 that were shipped to Pohl FOB destination on December 27 and were still in transit at year-end. Pohl received goods costing $25,000 on January 2. The goods were shipped FOB shipping point on December 26 by Yanice Co. The goods were not included in the physical count. Pohl sold goods costing $51,000 to Ehler of Canada FOB destination on December 30. The goods were received in Canada on January 8. The goods were not included in Pohl's physical inventory. Pohl received goods costing $42,000 on January 2 that were shipped FOB destination on December 29. The shipment was a rush order that was supposed to arrive December 31. This purchase was included in the ending inventory of $275,000. Determine the correct inventory amount on December 31.

$55,000 properly excluded from ending inventory $95,000 properly excluded from ending inventory $25,000 should be added to ending inventory amount $51,000 should be added to ending inventory amount $42,000 should be subtracted from ending inventory amount Ending inventory should be $275,000 + $25,000 + $51,000 - $42,000 = $309,000

If a company underestimates its bad debts expense for the year, what are the effects on its net income, total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity?

As bad debts expense goes up, net income goes down. Therefore, if bad debts expense is underestimated (too low), net income will be overstated (too high) for the year. If bad debts is understated, the "AFDA" account balance will be left understated as well. This will result in total assets being overstated. Net income flows into retained earnings on the balance sheet. Therefore, if net income is overstated, the retained earnings balance will be left overstated. Retained earnings is a component of total stockholders' equity.

Brief Exercise 6-3. Compute the ending inventory using average-cost. In its first month of operations, MeLanie Company made three purchases of inventory in the following sequence: (1) 300 units at $6 (2) 400 units at $8 (3) 500 units at $9 Assuming there are 200 units on hand at the end of the period, compute the cost of the ending inventory under average-cost inventory costing method (assuming periodic inventory system)?

Average cost -- ((300 x 6) + (400 x 8) + (500 x $9))/(300 + 400 +500) = $7.91667 Ending inventory -- 7.91667 x 200 = $1,583.33

To eliminate the opportunity for fraud, companies implement a system of procedures called internal controls. What are the primary goals of an internal control system?

Safeguard a company's assets Enhance the reliability of its accounting information Increase efficiency of operations Ensure compliance with laws and regulations

(e) Check-signers are not allowed to record cash disbursement transactions.

Segregation of duties

What does the accounts receivable turnover indicate? Also, in general, when comparing the turnover from one year to the next, do companies prefer it to be higher or lower over time?

The accounts receivable turnover indicates, on average, how many times during the year accounts receivables turnover - that is, created and collected. Theoretically, the receivable starts at zero. It is created when a sale on account occurs. The subsequent cash collection completes the turnover. This ratio is a measure of liquidity. It is also a measure of how effective the company is at managing its receivables (ex. do they collect cash in a timely fashion?). Companies prefer a higher turnover. A low receivable turnover may indicate the company's credit policy is too lenient or customers are not paying quickly enough

Brief Exercise 8-3. At the end of 2016, Safer Co. has accounts receivable of $700,000 and allowance for doubtful accounts of $25,000. On January 24, 2017, it is learned that the company's receivable from Madonna Inc. is not collectible and therefore management authorizes a write-off of $4,300. Prepare the journal entry to record the write-off first. Then answer the following: the cash realizable value of the accounts receivable before and after the write-off is $675,000.

The correct answer is TRUE. The journal entry to record the write off is as follows: Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 4,300 Accounts Receivable 4,300 The Cash Realizable values are calculated as follows: Before Write-Off After Write-Off Accounts Receivable $700,000 $695,700 Less: Allowance for doubtful accounts 25,000 20,700 Cash Realizable Value $675,000 $675,000

What are the three elements of the "fraud triangle" and which of these elements does a company's management have the most control over?

The three elements are financial pressure, rationalization, and opportunity. Management has the most control over opportunity.

What is the relationship (ex. direct correlation or inverse) between the account receivable turnover and the average collection period? Also, in general, when comparing the average collection period from one year to the next, do companies prefer it to be higher or lower over time?

There is an inverse relationship between the receivable turnover and average collection period. The more times receivables turn over during the year, the fewer days they are outstanding before cash is collected. In general, companies prefer the collection period to be lower rather than higher

Assume that on April 30, 20X6, Barham Corp. had the following information available: Balance per the bank (Apr 30) $ 8,400 Balance per the books (Apr 30) 8,867 Deposits in transit 900 NSF check 50 Outstanding checks 500 Bank service charges 25 Interest earned 8 Prepare the bank reconciliation for April.

If a company fails to record accrued interest revenue at the end of its fiscal year, what are the effects on its net income, total assets, total liabilities, and total stockholders' equity?

When interest revenue is accrued, the interest revenue account balance increases and interest receivable increases. Interest revenue is an income statement account and interest receivable is an asset account. Failure to accrue interest revenue will result in net income being understated (too low). Failure to record interest receivable will result in total assets being understated. Net income flows into retained earnings on the balance sheet. Therefore, if net income is understated, the retained earnings balance will be left understated. Retained earnings is a component of total stockholders' equity.

As a customer's account receivable balance is specifically written-off due to its being uncollectible, what is the effect on the company's net accounts receivable amount?

While the individual account balances for the "Accounts Receivable" and "Allowance for Doubtful Accounts" accounts are decreasing, the net amount stays the same.

Effectively managing accounts receivables includes which of the following? (Check all that apply) Select one or more: a. Evaluating their liquidity b. Determining to whom to extend credit c. Establishing a payment period d. Monitoring collections e. Accelerating cash receipts when necessary

b. Determining to whom to extend credit c. Establishing a payment period d. Monitoring collections e. Accelerating cash receipts when necessary
