You are the owner of a lawn service company (LawnCo) which provides grounds and maintenance services to a range of corporate customers. Customers are expected to pay on the first of each month, in advance of receiving services. One of your corporate customers is an eldercare facility whose grounds you have maintained for many years. The customer has not paid for the last three months of services (from Oct.–Dec. 2020); nevertheless, to maintain a positive relationship, your company continued to provide mowing and weed control services to the eldercare facility during that time. Your company ceased providing services in January 2021 and found out in that same month that the eldercare facility filed for bankruptcy in September. Your company now believes that collection of the missed payments is extremely unlikely. Your company has already issued financial statements to lenders (for the period ending 12/31/20) which reflected revenue and a corresponding account receivable related to this customer of $10,000 per month for services provided to this customer. Those financial statements also reflected the company’s standard allowance (reserve) amount on receivables, of 4% of sales. In total, your company’s average monthly sales amount to $500,000.
Required:
Your paper should be structured in the format of an issues memo.
1. Evaluate whether receipt of this information indicates you have a change in accounting estimate or whether the customer’s bankruptcy should result in this event being considered an error in previously issued financial statements.
2. Next, describe the accounting treatment (as required by the Codification) for each alternative, then support your explanations with draft journal entries.
3. Finally, briefly state which treatment appears to be more appropriate given the circumstances. If you must make any assumptions in reaching this conclusion, state these.

A manager for an insurance company believes that customers have the following preferences for life insurance products: 20% prefer Whole Life, 20% prefer Universal Life, and 60% prefer Life Annuities. The results of a survey of 200 customers were tabulated. Is it possible to refute the sales manager's claimed proportions of customers who prefer each product using the data?
| Product | Number |
|---|---|
| Whole | 36 |
| Universal | 58 |
| Annuities | 106 |
Step 1 of 10: State the null and alternative hypothesis.
Step 2 of 10: What does the null hypothesis indicate about the proportions of customers who prefer each insurance product?
Step 3 of 10: State the null and alternative hypothesis in terms of the expected proportions for each category. (Ho: Pwhole= , Puniversal=, Pannuities=)
Step 4 of 10: Find the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Whole Life. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Step 5 of 10: Find the expected value for the number of customers who prefer Universal Life. Round your answer to two decimal places.
Step 6 of 10: Find the value of the test statistic. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Step 7 of 10: Find the degrees of freedom associated with the test statistic for this problem.
Step 8 of 10: Find the critical value of the test at the 0.05 level of significance. Round your answer to three decimal places.
Step 9 of 10: Make the decision to reject or fail to reject the null hypothesis at the 0.05 level of significance.
Step 10 of 10: State the conclusion of the hypothesis test at the 0.05 level of significance.
