Specifically the allowance method of accounting for the net realizable value of this current asset.

Please provide journal entries for the following: (assume there are no beginning balances)

3/31: $100,000 of merchandise was sold on account. The gross profit rate is 50%.

4/10: $20,000 of these receivables were paid within the discount period. The payment terms were 2%,10,n30.

4/30: $65,000 of the receivables were paid outside of the discount period,

4/30: $120,000 of new credit sales and $20,000 of cash sales were made this month

5/30: The credit manager "ages" the receivables (see slide #27 in the lecture slides .ppt in the class Files). He creates an allowance for debt debts of $26,610.

6/30:    $800 of receivables are determined to be uncollectible and are written off.

What the ending balances are in the allowance for bad debts and accounts receivable.

The Riteway Ad Agency provides cars for its sales staff. In the past, the company has always purchased its cars from a dealer and then sold the cars after three years of use. The company’s present fleet of cars is three years old and will be sold very shortly. To provide a replacement fleet, the company is considering two alternatives:

Purchase alternative: The company can purchase the cars, as in the past, and sell the cars after three years of use. Ten cars will be needed, which can be purchased at a discounted price of $15,000 each. If this alternative is accepted, the following costs will be incurred on the fleet as a whole:
Annual cost of servicing, taxes, and licensing $ 4,800
Repairs, first year $ 2,700
Repairs, second year $ 5,200
Repairs, third year $ 7,200

At the end of three years, the fleet could be sold for one-half of the original purchase price.

Lease alternative: The company can lease the cars under a three-year lease contract. The lease cost would be $67,000 per year (the first payment due at the end of Year 1). As part of this lease cost, the owner would provide all servicing and repairs, license the cars, and pay all the taxes. Riteway would be required to make a $13,500 security deposit at the beginning of the lease period, which would be refunded when the cars were returned to the owner at the end of the lease contract.

Riteway Ad Agency’s required rate of return is 17%.

Click here to view Exhibit 13B-1 and Exhibit 13B-2, to determine the appropriate discount factor(s) using tables.

Required:    

1. What is the net present value of the cash flows associated with the purchase alternative?

2. What is the net present value of the cash flows associated with the lease alternative?

3. Which alternative should the company accept?

Many adjustment problems have been encountered, including problems relating to performance measurement. After much study, the company has decided to use the performance measures below, and it has gathered data relating to these measures for the first four months of operations.

Required:

1-a. Compute the throughput time for each month.

1-b. Compute the delivery cycle time for each month.

1-c. Compute the manufacturing cycle efficiency (MCE) for each month.

2. Evaluate the company’s performance over the last four months.

3-a. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume that in month 5 the move time, process time, and so forth, are the same as in month 4, except that through the use of Lean Production the company is able to completely eliminate the queue time during production. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

3-b. Refer to the move time, process time, and so forth, given for month 4. Assume in month 6 that the move time, process time, and so forth, are again the same as in month 4, except that the company is able to completely eliminate both the queue time during production and the inspection time. Compute the new throughput time and MCE.

For discount factors use Exhibit 12B-1 and Exhibit 12B-2.

Talmage Inc. has just completed development of a new printer. The new product is expected to produce annual revenues of $2,700,000. Producing the printer requires an investment in new equipment costing $2,880,000. The printer has a projected life cycle of 5 years. After 5 years, the equipment can be sold for $360,000. Working capital is also expected to decrease by $360,000, which Talmage will recover by the end of the new product’s life cycle. Annual cash operating expenses are estimated at $1,620,000. The required rate of return is 8%.

Weighted Average Method, Separate Materials Cost Janbo Company produces a variety of stationery products. One product, sealing wax sticks, passes through two processes: blending and molding. The weighted average method is used to account for the costs of production. After blending, the resulting product is sent to the molding department, where it is poured into molds and cooled. The following information relates to the blending process for August: a. Work in Process on August 1, had 30,000 pounds, 20% complete. Costs associated with partially completed units were: Materials $220,000 Direct labor 30,000 Overhead applied 20,000 b. Work in Process on August 31, had 50,000 pounds, 40% complete. c. Units completed and transferred out totaled 480,000 pounds. Costs added during the month were (all inputs are added uniformly): Materials $5,800,000 Direct labor 4,250,000 Overhead applied 1,292,500 Required: 1a. Prepare a physical flow schedule.

Windsor Corporation was formed 5 years ago through a public subscription of common stock. Daniel Brown, who owns 15% of the common stock, was one of the organizers of Windsor and is its current president. The company has been successful, but it currently is experiencing a shortage of funds. On June 10, 2021, Daniel Brown approached the Topeka National Bank, asking for a 24-month extension on two $34,970 notes, which are due on June 30, 2021, and September 30, 2021. Another note of $5,970 is due on March 31, 2022, but he expects no difficulty in paying this note on its due date. Brown explained that Windsor’s cash flow problems are due primarily to the company’s desire to finance a $300,080 plant expansion over the next 2 fiscal years through internally generated funds.

The commercial loan officer of Topeka National Bank requested the following financial reports for the last 2 fiscal years.
