As assistant controller for a small firm, you are responsible for recording and posting of the daily cash receipts and disbursements to the ledger account. After you have posted the entries, your boss, the controller, prepares a trial balance and the financial statements. You make the following entries on June 30.

Cash                        1,430

Account Receivable 1,950

            Service Revenue       3,380

To record daily cash sales and sales on account

Advertising Exp        12,500

Utilities Exp               22,600

Rent Exp                   24,000

Salary & Wage Exp 17,400

          Cash                             76,500

To record daily cash disbursement

The daily cash disbursements are much larger on June 30 than on any other day because many of the company's major bills are paid on the last day of the month. After you have recorded these two transactions and before you have posted them to the ledger accounts, your boss comes to you with the following request:

As you are aware, the first half of the year has been a tough one in the consulting industry and for our business.  With first-half bonuses based on net income, I am wondering whether you or I will get a bonus this time around. However, I have a suggestion that should allow us to receive something for our hard work and at the same time not hurt anyone. Go ahead and post the June 30 cash receipts to the ledger, but don't bother to post that day's cash disbursements. Even though the treasurer writes checks on the last day of the month and you normally journalize the transaction on the same day, it is silly to bother posting entry to the ledger since it takes at least a week for the checks to clear the bank.

1. Recognize an ethical dilemma: Explain why the controller's request will result in an increase in net income. On the basis of your answer, what ethical dilemma(s) do you now face?

2. a. Do you agree with the controller that the omission of the journal entry on June 30 " will not hurt anyone"? Who may benefit from the omission of the entry? Who may be harmed?

     b. How are they likely to benefit or be harmed?

     c. What rights or claims may be violated?

     d. What specific interest are in conflict?

    e. What are your responsibilities and obligations?

The city maintains a landfill that has been recorded during the current year within its parks. The landfill generated program revenues of $4,000 in Year 4 and cash expenses of $15,000. It also paid $3,000 cash for a piece of land. These transactions were recorded as would have been anticipated, but no other recording was made this year. The city assumes that it will have to pay $200,000 to clean up the landfill when it is closed in several years. The landfill was 18 percent filled at the end of Year 3 and is 26 percent filled at the end of Year 4. No payments will be necessary for several more years. For convenience, assume that the entries in all previous years were correctly handled regardless of the situation.

a. The city believes that the landfill was included correctly in all previous years as one of its enterprise funds. According to the information provided, the overall increase in net position reported was $140,000. What is the correct overall change in the net position in the government-wide financial statements?

b. The city believes that the landfill was included correctly in all previous years in one of the enterprise funds. According to the information provided, the enterprise fund reported an increase in its net position of $60,000. What is the correct change in the net position of the enterprise fund in the fund financial statements?

c. The city believes that the landfill was included correctly in all previous years within the general fund. What is the correct change in the fund balance of the general fund?
