Horizon Corporation manufactures personal computers. The company began operations in 2012 and reported profits for the years 2012 through 2019. Due primarily to increased competition and price slashing in the industry, 2020’s income statement reported a loss of $20 million. Just before the end of the 2021 fiscal year, a memo from the company’s chief financial officer (CFO) to Jim Fielding, the company controller, included the following comments:

“If we don’t do something about the large amount of unsold computers already manufactured, our auditors will require us to record a write-down. The resulting loss for 2021 will cause a violation of our debt covenants and force the company into bankruptcy. I suggest that you ship half of our inventory to J.B. Sales, Inc., in Oklahoma City. I know the company’s president, and he will accept the inventory and acknowledge the shipment as a purchase. We can record the sale in 2021 which will boost our loss to a profit. Then J.B. Sales will simply return the inventory in 2022 after the financial statements have been issued.”

What is the effect on income before taxes of the sales transaction requested by the CFO? If Jim does not record the sales transaction requested by the CFO, what is the effect on total assets and income before taxes of the inventory write-down?

For the year ended 12/31/10 ABC CORP generated Sales of $12,000 and Net Income of $120. The net profit margin this year is considered normal by ABC CORP. Cost of Goods Sold was $8,400 in 2010. Cost of Goods Sold consistently averages seventy per cent of Sales, and will continue to do so in the future. Depreciation Expense was $500 in 2010. No Depreciation Expense was, or ever will, be included in Cost of Goods Sold. Fixed Operating Costs, excluding Depreciation Expense, were equal to $1,200 for 2010. These Fixed Operating Costs included all utilities, all insurance, all rent, all property taxes, and all labor charges. Fixed Operating Costs (other than depreciation expense) are paid for immediately, as they are incurred. Fixed Operating Costs were spread evenly throughout the year 2010. With regard to the size and timing of these costs, it is anticipated that the experience of 2010 will be repeated in 2011. Therefore, we anticipate cash payments associated with Fixed Operating Costs to equal $100 per month in 2011. Because of losses in recent years at ABC Corp and the loss carry forward provisions of the tax code there were no income taxes paid in 2010, and it is anticipated in 2011 that no income tax payments will be made.


Interest paid in 2010 was $40 and dividends paid in that same year were $60 Interest payments are made monthly and dividends are paid at the end of every quarter. The next dividend payment is scheduled for March 2011. The dividend payout ratio in 2010 is considered normal for ABC CORP. The annual interest rate for bank borrowing is six percent per year (one-half of one per cent per month). Interest paid in the current month is based on the previous month’s balance in Notes Payable.


The target cash balance for the end of any current month is equal to ten percent of next month’s sales.


Target ending inventory at the end of any current month is equal to twenty percent of estimated cost of goods sold for the next month. All purchases of inventory are paid for in the month following purchase. The entire balance of Accounts Payable, at any given point in time, represents the purchase of inventory which has not yet been paid for. One-half of all sales are collected in the month of sale, the remainder in the following Month. The sales forecast for the first four months of 2011 is


January $1,000

February 800

March 3,200

April 2,000


Sales for October, November and December of the year 2010 were $2,000 $2,000 and $4,000, respectively.


It is the policy of the company to repay bank borrowing as soon as possible; if money is not needed for this purpose, then investments of marketable securities are made. Marketable Securities should be liquidated to satisfy any subsequent need for cash flow before any new bank borrowing is done. The annual yield on marketable securities is three per cent (one-quarter of one percent per month). Interest payments to the firm are based on the previous month’s balance in Marketable Securities.
