Problem 9 : At the beginning of the year, ABC had $100,000 in Accounts Receivable and $15,000 in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. During the year ABC sold $900,000 of product on account and collected $930,000 in cash. In addition, ABC wrote-off $10,000 of outstanding Accounts Receivable because a customer declared bankruptcy. a) Determine the ending balance in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts before any adjusting entry or provision for bad debt expense is recorded.

b) Assuming ABC estimates uncollectible accounts as 10% of outstanding Accounts Receivable, prepare the required adjusting entry to record bad debt expense at year end.

c) Determine the Net Realizable Value of Accounts Receivable as of year end.

December of the previous year 50,000, January70,000, February 100,000, March60,000, April100,000.


December of the previous year 50,000, January70,000, February 100,000, March60,000, April100,000. Past experience shows that 45% of sales are collected in the month of the sale, and 55% in the month following the sale.

    2. Prepare a purchases budget for January through March, and the first quarter in total. Assume that the company only sells one product that can be purchased at $35.00 per unit. The market for this product is very competitive and customers highly value service such as quality and on time delivery of the product. Also assume that currently it is company policy that ending inventory should equal 45% of next month’s projected sales. All costs are paid in the current month except inventory purchases, which are paid in the month following the purchase (i.e. January purchases are paid in February).

3. Prepare a cash budget for January through March and for the first quarter in total. The company maintains a minimum cash balance of $70,000, and this was the balance in the cash account on January 1st. Other expenses include $35,000 per month for rent, $24,000 per month for advertising, and $66,000 per month for depreciation. In addition, variable Selling & Administrative cost is $12 per unit sold, and the company paid a $20,000 dividend in February.

The company has an open line of credit with a bank and can borrow at an annual rate of 12%.
For simplification assume that all loans are made at the beginning of the month when borrowing is needed, and repayments are made at the end of a month if there is enough cash to make the payment. Also, interest associated with a loan is only paid at the time when that loan or a portion thereof is paid. Additionally, all loans and repayments (not the interest portion) can only be made in increments of $1000 and the company would like to pay its debts, or a portion thereof, as soon as it has enough cash to do so.

Karen is in her first year of seminary. Prior to joining the seminary, she was a teacher in a small catholic high school. She loves to work with the groups of people she knows in class; but she is always concerned about whether she is doing a good job and whether her peers see her as doing a good job. When she is studying, she gets up and rings her hands, her palms sweat, and she finds that her heart is racing. She spends endless hours studying to make sure she gets things right. With class projects, she begins to feel overwhelmed and sick to her stomach when she has to stand up in front of other people. As she prepares herself to do her presentation the day before, she is either awake till late in night or if she goes to bed, she has problem in sleeping. Joann is a 73-year-old, retired architect who recently went to Japan. While in Japan she fell and broke her femur bone and knee cap. She spent eight weeks in the hospital recovering. She traveled back to the United States and the pins came out of her knee, which meant she had to have more surgery when she returned. She spent six months in physical therapy and seemed to recover nicely. However, in the past few months she has stopped sleeping well, experiences ruminating thoughts about the accident and repeatedly checks to see if her leg works. She also refuses to leave home because she is afraid of falling. On the basis of your understanding of the above scenarios, answer the following: Name and describe the symptoms of the difficulties experienced by each of these women.

This year Amber opened a factory to process and package landscape mulch. At the end of the year, Amber’s accountant prepared the following schedule for allocating manufacturing costs to the mulch inventory, but her accountant is unsure of what costs need to be allocated to the inventory under UNICAP rules. Approximately 20 percent of management time, space, and expenses are spent on this manufacturing process. At the end of the year, Amber’s accountant indicated that the business had processed 10,600 bags of mulch but only 2,120 bags remained in the ending inventory.

What is Amber’s tax basis in her ending inventory after applying the UNICAP rules to allocate indirect costs to inventory? (Assume direct costs are allocated to inventory according to the level of ending inventory. In contrast, indirect costs are first allocated by time spent and then according to level of ending inventory.
