On January 1, 2020, Panther, Inc., issued securities with a total fair value of $577,000 for 100 percent of Stark Corporation’s outstanding ownership shares. Stark has long supplied inventory to Panther. The companies expect to achieve synergies with production scheduling and product development with this combination.

Although Stark’s book value at the acquisition date was $300,000, the fair value of its trademarks was assessed to be $45,000 more than their carrying amounts. Additionally, Stark’s patented technology was undervalued in its accounting records by $232,000. The trademarks were considered to have indefinite lives, and the estimated remaining life of the patented technology was eight years.

In 2020, Stark sold Panther inventory costing $75,000 for $125,000. As of December 31, 2020, Panther had resold 74 percent of this inventory. In 2021, Panther bought from Stark $140,000 of inventory that had an original cost of $70,000. At the end of 2021, Panther held $38,000 (transfer price) of inventory acquired from Stark, all from its 2021 purchases.

During 2021, Panther sold Stark a parcel of land for $88,000 and recorded a gain of $16,000 on the sale. Stark still owes Panther $62,000 (current liability) related to the land sale.

At the end of 2021, Panther and Stark prepared the following statements for consolidation.

Generally, HP has overestimated its accruals, which has inflated profit by the over-accrual of bad debts.

Generally, HP has underestimated its accruals, which has inflated profit by the under-accrual of bad debts.

The difference between bad debt expense and write-off during the three years is small, so it appears they are accurately accruing for anticipated credit losses.

The difference between bad debt expense and write-off during the three years has inflated HPQ's cash flows reported.

2009 write-offs as a percentage of beginning of year allowance: Answer%
What inferences can we draw as a result of changes in the allowance for doubtful accounts from 2009 to 2010?

The allowance for uncollectible accounts has decreased as a percentage of gross accounts receivable in 2010. We can , therefore, expect write-offs to increase.

The allowance for uncollectible accounts has decreased as a percentage of gross accounts receivable in 2010. This means that HPQ is over-stating its bad debt expense in the current year.

HPQ's write-offs as a percentage of the allowance decreased from 2009-2010. The reduction in write-off is reflected in their income statement as a corresponding reduction of bad debt expense and an increase in profit.

HPQ's write-offs as a percentage of the allowance decreased from 2009-2010. By this measure it appears that HPQ is accurately accruing for anticipated credit losses.
