Dealer Financing On 1/1/X1, Tractor Co. sold a new combine to Jim’s U-Pick farm. The purchase agreement establishes a base price of $100,000, plus a contractual interest rate of 5%, payable in 48 monthly installments of $2,302.93. Control of the combine transferred to Jim when Jim signed the contract and had the combine delivered that same day. If Jim had obtained separate financing (say, a bank loan) for the purchase, his interest rate would have been 6%.

What amount of revenue should Tractor Co. record at the date of sale? What guidance should Tractor Co. apply to the subsequent measurement of its receivable?

Consider the measurement attribute used to record Tractor Co.’s revenues. How does this approach achieve the objective of this measurement attribute?

Hint: You might find it useful to use Microsoft Excel’s formula options: PMT and PV for this example. Excel walks you through how to input numbers into each formula.

EZ-Seat, Inc., manufactures two types of reclining chairs, Standard and Ergo. Ergo provides support for the body through a complex set of sensors and requires great care in manufacturing to avoid damage to the material and frame.

You have conducted several interviews with department supervisors who oversee the acquisition/payment process. The following is a summary of your discussions. Use this narrative to prepare a system flowchart to depict Plume’s acquisition/payment system.

checks are issued by the cash disbursements department. When the payment
authorization is received from accounts payable, the information is entered and used to
update the accounts payable and cash disbursements master files. A check is then
generated (with 1 copy). A copy of the check is filed with the payment authorization by
date. The check is then forwarded to the Treasurer. Additionally, a weekly cash
disbursements report is generated and is forwarded to the controller department.
The Treasurer verifies the check information by looking up the authorization
information in the accounts payable system. If the check information is correct, the
treasurer signs the check and sends it to the vendor. If there are any discrepancies, the
check is forwarded to the Controller.
