The Wong family incorporated Alberta Wholesale Limited (AWL) on
January 1, 20X1 when the company issued common shares to several
family members for cash. After obtaining mortgage financing, the
company constructed a warehouse and began a food wholesale
business.
The company has a small accounting staff that recorded transactions
throughout the year. The company’s CEO knows that cash is correct
because she has reviewed the bank reconciliation. However, she was
unable to hire a professionally trained CFO and is concerned that
the draft financial statements prepared by her staff (Exhibit I),
which are prepared using IFRS, may have errors including the final
calculation of income tax expense based on a 30% income tax
rate.
The CEO has hired you to correct any accounting errors made by her
staff by:
1. Providing a memo listing any adjusting entries that the company
needs to make along with comments explaining why the company
recorded items incorrectly and how and why the company should have
recorded the transaction along with supporting calculations
relating to adjustments. You should have at least one adjusting
journal entry (you may need several entries for some issues) for
each of the following issues. If an issue deals with more than one
transaction, try to have an adjusting entry for each transaction
within the issue.
Issue 1
On January 1, 20X1, the company received an operating line of
credit from the bank for $6,000,000. The interest rate on this line
was at 5% throughout 20X1. On that same day, AWL bought land
costing $2,000,000 and on that day, construction on a warehouse
commenced. The company paid the building contractor $4,000,000 on
each of the following three dates for a total amount spent of
$12,000,000: February 1, March 1 and April 1, 20X1. The contractor
completed construction of the building by April 30, 20X1. AWL also
received a $10,000,000 mortgage at 4% was received from the bank on
February 28, 20X1 to pay for the warehouse. The mortgage required
monthly payments of $101,246 on the last day of each month
commencing March 31, 20X1. Interest on the line of credit is due on
the first day of each month commencing February 1, 20X1. AWL paid
no portion of the principal of the line of credit during 20X1 and
there are no fixed terms of repayment on the line of credit
although the bank can demand repayment at any time by giving 90
days notice and requires the company to maintain a current ratio
greater than 3:1. Furthermore, the debt to equity ratio cannot
exceed 1.5 so the company does not want to record any more
liabilities if possible.
Issue 2
The company received a government grant of $1,000,000 cash on April
30 to make the warehouse more energy efficient. When received, we
recorded it in grant revenue.
