6 Some Accounting Issues 1. The owner of the store Bead-It is considering opening another store in a nearby town. The initial cost of the store (inventory, remodeling, etc.) will be $150,000. The owner is deciding how to finance the new store. One option is to get a 10 year loan from a bank at an interest rate of 6%. A second option is to take on a partner (a good friend has wanted to become business partners for a long time now). Discuss the accounting issues involved in the two options. 2. Bead-It s internet provider is offering a special deal. The deal consists of an annual payment of $100 (to be paid at the beginning of the year) for unlimited access. Currently, Bead-It pays $10 per month at the end of each month of service. Discuss the accounting issues involved in the two payment plans. 3. Joe the Plumber owns his own plumbing company. Joe has just completed training and received his class 3 certification. The training courses leading to certification cost Joe nearly $4,000. However, Joe believes this has been a good business decision because it will allow him to bid for lucrative government jobs. Joe s accountant insists that the $4,000 be recorded as an expense. Joe, on the other hand, makes the argument that the money should be thought of as an investment and therefore be noted as an asset to the business. At any rate, Joe explains that it cannot be viewed as an expense because it will not be matched with the revenues generated in the future (something the accountant had emphasized to Joe on several occasions). Discuss how the training should be recorded. 4. A small private liberal arts college receives tuition income from students enrolled. Some of the students pay cash to the college at the beginning of the year, while other students make monthly payments during the school year. The college constructs its financial statements two times per year: once on Jan. 1 for its winter board meeting and a final statement on June 30 th for tax purposes. When should the college book the tuition as revenue? 5. An ice-cream retailer purchases a fully-loaded new refrigerator for $2,000. The refrigerator is fully-loaded in the sense that it came with $300 worth of ice-cream. The owner of the store plans to record the entire transaction as an addition to the Property, Plant, and Equipment account and depreciate it as an expense over the next 5 years. Discuss whether the owner is taking the correct approach to this transaction.
