Question

1. Make all adjustments on the "Adjusting Journal Entries". Remember to include a description under each journal entry.

12	. On 1/1/14, ABC Corporation purchased, as a held-to-maturity investment, $200,000 of the 8%, 5-year bonds of Intuit Corporation for $177,824,
	which provides an 11% return. Prepare ABC's 12/31/14 journal entry to reflect the receipt of annual interest and discount amortization.
	Assume the bond investment pays interest annually on 12/31 each year and that effective interest amortization is used.
	Note: Notice that a discount account is not used for this investment. Therefore, for purposes of this adjusting entry, amortize the discount directly to the
	investment account.
13.	ABC Corporation prepares an aging schedule on 12/31/14 that estimates total uncollectible accounts at $25,000. Assuming that the allowance method is used,
	prepare the entry to record bad debt expense.
14	On 1/1/14, ABC Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for a delivery vehicle. The terms of the lease called for ABC to Corporation to make
	annual payments of $10,503 at the beginning of each year, starting January 1, 2014. The delivery vehicle has an estimated useful life of 6 years and a $7,000
	unguaranteed residual value. The delivery vehicle reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. ABC Corporation uses the straight-line method
	of depreciation for the delivery vehicle. ABC Corporation's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the Lessor's implicit rate is unknown. No entries have yet
	been made concerning this lease arrangement. After determining the type of lease arrangement (capital or operating), prepare the necessary multiple-part journal
	entry for 2014 for ABC Corporation. (Hints: You will need to compute the present value of the minimum lease payments and 4 separate sub-entries for
	this lease transaction. Also, for Statement of Cash Flow purposes, the principal portion of lease payments are correctly categorized as a financing activity.)
15	ABC Corporation provides a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. A combination adjusting entry should be made to correctly account for this type of pension
	plan given the following items of information for the 2014 plan year, including the recording of pension expense and the employer's contribution to the pension plan in 2014.
	Note: Use the summary entry method as demonstrated and discussed in the chapter lectures on pension accounting to prepare the adjusting entry.
	Pension asset/liability (January 1)			$0
	Actual return on plan assets			$40,000
	Expected return on plan assets			$20,000
	Contributions (funding) in 2014			$37,000
	Fair value of plan assets (December 31)			$75,000
	Settlement rate			10%
	Projected benefit obligation (January 1)			$0
	Service cost			$60,000
	Benefits paid in 2014			$0
	*For purposes of financial statement presentation, consider Pension Expense as an operating item and any resulting Pension Asset/Liability as long-term in nature.
16	On December 31, 2014, ABC Corporation issued 1,000 shares of restricted stock to its Chief Financial Officer. ABC stock had a fair value (closing market price) of
	$10 per share on December 31, 2014. Additional information is as follows:
		a. The service period related to the restricted stock is 2 years.
		b. Vesting occurs if the CFO stays with the company for a two-year period.
		c. The par value of the common stock is $3 per share.
	Make the appropriate accounting entry as of the grant date, 12/31/14. Note: use the alternative method as described in your textbook for deferred compensation.
	Do this step after preparing the Income Statement except for the Income taxes line: (You need to calculate Income Before Income Taxes in order to calcualte total Income Tax Expense)
17	Corporate taxes are due in four estimated quarterly payments on April 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15.
	However, for the purposes of this ABC illustration, we will assume that estimates are not paid, and that the tax is paid in full
	on the return's March 15, 2015 due date.
	ABC's income tax rate is 40%. The entire year's income tax expense was estimated at the beginning of 2014 to be $69,600,
	so January through November income tax expense recognized amounts to $63,800 (11/12 months).
	Since we are assuming estimates are not made during the year, the balance in Income taxes payable represents
	tax accrued for January through November. Assume no deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities.
	Based on the income before income taxes figure from the income statement, record December's income tax expense
	so that the entire year's total tax expense is correct.

1st Jan 2014:

Dr. Investment in Bonds of Intuit Corp $200000

Cr. Cash $ 177824

Cr. Investment in bonds of Intuit Corp (Discount on Bonds) $ 22176

(The bonds will be reported on balance sheet at $ 177824 ($200000 face value minus $22176 discount on bonds)

31st Dec 2014:

Dr. Interest receivable $ 16000

Dr. Investment in bonds of Intuit Corp (Discount on Bonds) $ 3560.64

Cr. Interest inome $ 19560.64

(For the year ended 31 Dec 2014, the interest income on the bonds would be equal to the product of the bond's carrying amount and effective rate of interest and it equated $ 19560.64 ($177824 multiplied by 11%). Interest receivable for the period amounts to $16000 (the contractual coupon rate of 8% applied to face value of bonds of $200000). The difference between interest income and interest receivable is amortization of discount.

31st Dec 2014:

Dr. Bad Debt Expense $25000

Cr. Allowance for doubtful accounts $25000

(Unlike direct write off method, we do not credit accounts receivables at this stage because it is actually a control account of many individual debtors account and we do not yet not know which particular debtor will make a default. We only know the estimated amount of receivables which are likely to end up uncollected. Therefore a provision account called allowance for doubtful accounts is credited in the adjusting entry)
