Paint Inc. (PI) has been operating as a family owned private company for the past 30 years. It started as a company manufacturing paint for sale in its own retail stores in Ontario. PI is known as a manufacturer of high quality paint. Since then it has expanded with stores across Canada and recently started a decorating business. It has no desire to go public at this point in time and wants to keep accounting costs as low as possible.

With the recent real estate boom and new housing, the company has been very profitable for the past few years. PI has a loan with Canadian Bank. The bank requires audited financial statements and has a maximum debt to equity ratio.

You have recently been hired as an accounting consultant to assist PI’s board of directors. You have been asked to develop appropriate accounting policies for events that have occurred during 20X5. The board has asked that you explain fully your analysis for your recommendations. PI has a 31 December year end.

1. Individuals can purchase paint in the store or order on line. If they order on line they must pay by credit card. Contractors and real estate developers can purchase paint directly at the warehouse in bulk and receive a 15% to 25% discount depending on the quantity they purchase. They also have 30 days in which to pay. The paint provides a three month money back guarantee.

2. In the summer of 20X5, to encourage use of their new decorating services, PI offered customers a special deal. With the purchase of $200 of paint they received one hour of consulting advice from the decorator for free. Normally, the fee for the decorating service is $75 an hour. This deal was very popular with many customers purchasing additional services from the decorator beyond the one hour for free.

3. On 1 April 20X5, PI announced it was going to sell one of its older manufacturing facilities including all of the equipment. This facility will be replaced in a new location with a brand new, fully computerized, state of the art facility. The new facility will be operational in the spring of 20X6. Until that time PI will continue to manufacture in the existing facility. The facility has been listed at a reasonable price. The carrying amount of the facility and equipment is $1,000,000 with a fair value of $850,000. The land has a carrying amount of $200,000 and a fair value of $1,200,000.

4. In 20X5, PI traded a piece of excess land they owned for a potential new store for some manufacturing equipment for the new facility. The land had a carrying amount of $80,000, but three real estate appraisals estimated the fair value to be $500,000. The equipment was specially manufactured for PI and is unique.

5. In 20X5, PI sold a large quantity of paint to a board member who owns a new housing development. The paint was sold to the director for cash and the director was given a 25% discount and 30 days to pay.

6. In February 20X6, PI was informed that one of its building contractors went bankrupt and will not be able to pay an outstanding receivable of $80,000. This receivable was not considered in determining their allowance for bad debts for 20X5.

Your basic financial model is complete but you must learn to adjust it for data errors. The accountant for Holt Manufacturing has discovered the following errors in the accounting estimates for the year ended December 31, 2017:

1. The annual interest expense was $4,800, not $8,000 as per the original data sheet.    

2. The annual insurance charge expense for the factory was $30,000. This was omitted from the original list of expenses in the data sheet. Add this extra manufacturing overhead to your "data" sheet.

3. Administrative salaries of $18,000 were also omitted. Add this to the "data" sheet and include a formula and extra line item in your income statement.

4. The accountant failed to account for the factory utilities rebate the company receives from using renewable energy sources. The rebate has both a fixed and percentage element ($1,500 + 10% of the total annual utilities cost), and should be deducted from the utilities overhead cost at the year end. The amount of the rebate is negotiable with the energy company, so you must allow for its adjustment in your Excel workbook.

5. The company gives customers a 1.5% sales discount, but this has not been accounted for. As a result, total sales annual revenue must be reduced by the amount of the discount. The discount rate may change in the future, so must be added to the original data sheet as a key variable, and the amounts of both gross and net revenue must be shown as line items in the income statement.           `

6. The income tax threshold is as follows: 10% tax rate is applicable for up to $100,000 of net income for the year and 20%, if the income is more than $100,000. Modify your data sheet and formulae to reflect this change.

7. Add a comment box to the Net Income/Loss cell that explains the impact that changes (i) to (vi) have on reported net income - does the company now report a net income or loss for 2017? Make sure this comment box is visible and printed on your worksheet.

8. The accountant wishes you to provide an analysis of the company’s operating cost structure. Add an extra worksheet called “Cost analysis”, and construct a suitable table of the company operating costs (i.e. cost of sale, selling, admin and distribution costs) from the income statement for 2016. Link you table with the income statement entries. Do not hard code this data.
