1 | On March 1, ABC purchased a one-year liability insurance policy for $98,400. | | | |
| Upon purchase, the following journal entry was made: | | | | | |
| | Dr Prepaid insurance | | 98,400 | | | | |
| | | Cr Cash | | | 98,400 | | | |
| The expired portion of insurance must be recorded as of 12/31/14. | | | | |
| Notice that the expired portion from March through November has been recorded already. | | |
| Make sure that the Prepaid Insurance balance after the adjusting entry is correct. | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
2 | Depreciation expense must be recorded for the month of December. | | | | |
| The building was purchased with cash on February 1, 2014, for $150,000 with a remaining useful life of 30 years and a salvage value of $6,000. |
| | The method of depreciation for the building is straight-line. | | | |
| The equipment was purchased with cash on February 1, 2014, for $60,000 with a remaining useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $3,000. |
| | The method of depreciation for the equipment is double-declining balance. | | |
| Depreciation has been recorded for the building and equipment for months February through November. | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
3 | On December 1, XYZ Co. agreed to rent space in ABC's building for $12,000 per month, | | |
| and XYZ paid ABC on December 1 in advance for the first three months' rent. | | | |
| The entry made on December 1 was as follows: | | | | | |
| | Dr Cash | | | 36,000 | | | | |
| | | Cr Unearned rent revenue | | 36,000 | | | |
| The unearned revenue account must be adjusted to reflect the amount earned as of 12/31/14. | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
4 | Per timecards, from the last payroll date through December 31, 2014, ABC's employees have worked a total of 250 hours. |
| Including payroll taxes, ABC's wage expense averages about $51 per hour. The next payroll date is January 5, 2015. |
| The liability for wages payable must be recorded as of 12/31/14. | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
5 | On November 30, 2014, ABC borrowed $235,000 from American National Bank by issuing an interest-bearing note payable. |
| This loan is to be repaid in three months (on February 28, 2015), along with interest computed at an annual rate of 6%. |
| The entry made on November 30 to record the borrowing was: (for Statement of Cash Flow purposes, consider a financing item) |
| | Dr Cash | | | 235,000 | | | | |
| | | Cr Notes payable | | 235,000 | | | |
| On February 28, 2015 ABC must pay the bank the amount borrowed plus interest. | | | |
| Assume the beginning balance for Notes Payable is correct. | | | | |
| Interest through 12/31/14 must be accrued on the $235,000 note. | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
6 | ABC uses a periodic inventory system, and the ending inventory for each year is determined by taking a complete |
| physical inventory at year-end. A physical count was taken on December 31, 2014, and the inventory on-hand at |
| that time totaled $75,000, which reflects historical cost. | | | | | |
| Record the 2014 Cost of Goods Sold and the 12/31/14 Inventory adjustment. | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Additionally, ABC adheres to GAAP by recording ending inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value at a total inventory level. |
| A review of inventory data further indicated that the current retail sales value of the ending inventory is $110,000 and estimated costs of |
| completion and shipping is 15% of retail. Be sure to make an additional adjustment, if necessary, to properly value ending inventory |
| using the Loss and Allowance methodology. For Income Statement presentation purposes, be sure to use the Loss Method for accounting |
| for adjustments of inventory to market value. | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
7 | It would be unusual for a company to have an asset impairment in Year 1, but for the sake of this example, ABC realized |
| that their intangible asset might be impaired on December 31, 2014. Record the impairment if any. | | |
| The expected future net cash flows for this intangible asset totals $30,000, and the fair value of the asset is $27,500. |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
8 | On 7/1/14, ABC purchased 7,000 shares of its own stock from existing stockholders as treasury stock. The cost of the treasury |
| stock was $7 per share, or $49,000 in total. The effects of this transaction are already shown in the unadjusted trial balance. On 12/31/14, |
| ABC reissued these 7,000 shares of treasury stock at $10 per share. Record the journal entry required for the reissuance of the treasury stock. |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
9 | On 12/31/14, ABC issued 5,000 shares of $3 par value common stock at the closing market price of $7 per share. Prepare ABC's journal entry |
| to reflect the issuance of the stock on 12/31/14. | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
10 | On 7/1/14, ABC sold 12% bonds having a maturity value of $800,000 for $861,771, resulting in an effective yield of 10%. The bonds are |
| dated 7/1/14, and mature 7/1/19. Interest is payable semiannually on July 1 and January 1. ABC uses the effective interest method of |
| amortization for bond premium or discount. Record the adjusting entry for the accrual of interest and the related amortization on 12/31/14. |
| Hint: Develop an abbreviated amortization schedule to accurately determine the interest expense. | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
11 | The following information is available for ABC Corporation at 12/31/14 regarding its investments in stocks of other companies. |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | Securities | | | | | Cost | Fair Value | |
| | 2,200 shares of Toyota Corporation Common Stock | | $ 100,000 | $ 125,000 | |
| | 1,100 shares of G.M. Corporation Common Stock | | $ 67,000 | $ 34,000 | |
| | | | | | | $ 167,000 | $ 159,000 | |
| Prepare the adjusting entry (if any) for 2014, assuming the securities are classified as trading. | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
12 | On 1/1/14, ABC Corporation purchased, as a held-to-maturity investment, $200,000 of the 8%, 5-year bonds of Intuit Corporation for $177,824, |
| which provides an 11% return. Prepare ABC's 12/31/14 journal entry to reflect the receipt of annual interest and discount amortization. |
| Assume the bond investment pays interest annually on 12/31 each year and that effective interest amortization is used. |
| Note: Notice that a discount account is not used for this investment. Therefore, for purposes of this adjusting entry, amortize the discount directly to the |
| investment account. | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
13 | ABC Corporation prepares an aging schedule on 12/31/14 that estimates total uncollectible accounts at $25,000. Assuming that the allowance method is used, |
| prepare the entry to record bad debt expense. | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
14 | On 1/1/14, ABC Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for a delivery vehicle. The terms of the lease called for ABC to Corporation to make |
| annual payments of $10,503 at the beginning of each year, starting January 1, 2014. The delivery vehicle has an estimated useful life of 6 years and a $7,000 |
| unguaranteed residual value. The delivery vehicle reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. ABC Corporation uses the straight-line method |
| of depreciation for the delivery vehicle. ABC Corporation's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the Lessor's implicit rate is unknown. No entries have yet |
| been made concerning this lease arrangement. After determining the type of lease arrangement (capital or operating), prepare the necessary multiple-part journal |
| entry for 2014 for ABC Corporation. (Hints: You will need to compute the present value of the minimum lease payments and 4 separate sub-entries for |
| this lease transaction. Also, for Statement of Cash Flow purposes, the principal portion of lease payments are correctly categorized as a financing activity.) |
| | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | | | | | |
15 | ABC Corporation provides a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. A combination adjusting entry should be made to correctly account for this type of pension |
| plan given the following items of information for the 2014 plan year, including the recording of pension expense and the employer's contribution to the pension plan in 2014. |
| Note: Use the summary entry method as demonstrated and discussed in the chapter lectures on pension accounting to prepare the adjusting entry. |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Pension asset/liability (January 1) | $0 | | | | | |
| Actual return on plan assets | $40,000 | | | | | |
| Expected return on plan assets | $20,000 | | | | | |
| Contributions (funding) in 2014 | $37,000 | | | | | |
| Fair value of plan assets (December 31) | $75,000 | | | | | |
| Settlement rate | | 10% | | | | | |
| Projected benefit obligation (January 1) | $0 | | | | | |
| Service cost | | $60,000 | | | | | |
| Benefits paid in 2014 | | $0 | | | | | |
| *For purposes of financial statement presentation, consider Pension Expense as an operating item and any resulting Pension Asset/Liability as long-term in nature. |
| | | | | | | | | |
16 | On December 31, 2014, ABC Corporation issued 1,000 shares of restricted stock to its Chief Financial Officer. ABC stock had a fair value (closing market price) of |
| $10 per share on December 31, 2014. Additional information is as follows: | | | |
| | a. The service period related to the restricted stock is 2 years. | | | |
| | b. Vesting occurs if the CFO stays with the company for a two-year period. | | |
| | c. The par value of the common stock is $3 per share. | | | | |
| Make the appropriate accounting entry as of the grant date, 12/31/14. Note: use the alternative method as described in your textbook for deferred compensation. |
| | | | | | | | | |
| Do this step after preparing the Income Statement except for the Income taxes line: (You need to calculate Income Before Income Taxes in order to calcualte total Income Tax Expense) |
17 | Corporate taxes are due in four estimated quarterly payments on April 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. |
| However, for the purposes of this ABC illustration, we will assume that estimates are not paid, and that the tax is paid in full |
| on the return's March 15, 2015 due date. | | | | | | |
| ABC's income tax rate is 40%. The entire year's income tax expense was estimated at the beginning of 2014 to be $69,600, |
| so January through November income tax expense recognized amounts to $63,800 (11/12 months). | | |
| Since we are assuming estimates are not made during the year, the balance in Income taxes payable represents | |
| tax accrued for January through November. Assume no deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. | |
| Based on the income before income taxes figure from the income statement, record December's income tax expense |
| so that the entire year's total tax expense is correct. | | | | | |
