ASSIGNMENT MATERIAL 181 salaries expense was erroneously classified as a nonoperating expense. One of your co-workers argues that the error need not be corrected because the net income number is not affected by the misclassification. You disagree. Defend your position. 4-20 Accounting for Supplies A company began business on July 1 and purchased $1,000 in supplies including paper, pens, paper clips, and so on. On December 31, as financial statements were being prepared, the accounting clerk asked how to treat the $1,000 that appeared in the Supplies Inventory account. What should the clerk do? Exercises 4-21 True or False Use T or F to indicate whether each of the following statements is true or false: 1. Retained Earnings should be accounted for as a noncurrent liability item. 2. Deferred Revenue will appear on the income statement. 3. Machinery used in the business should be recorded as a noncurrent asset item. 4. A company that employs cash-basis accounting cannot have a Prepaid Expense account on the balance sheet. 5. From a single balance sheet, you can find stockholders equity for a period of time but not for a specific day. 6. It is not possible to determine changes in the financial condition of a business from a single balance sheet. 4-22 Tenant and Landlord The Trucano Company, a retail hardware store, pays quarterly rent on its store at the beginning of each quarter. The rent per quarter is $21,000. The owner of the building in which the store is located is the Resing Corporation. By using the balance sheet equation format, analyze the effects of the following on the tenant s and the landlord s financial position: 1. Trucano pays $21,000 rent on July 1. 2. Adjustment for July. 3. Adjustment for August. 4. Adjustment for September. Also prepare the journal entries for Trucano and Resing for September. 4-23 Customer and Airline Kimberly Clark (KC), maker of Scott paper products, decided to hold a managers meeting in Hawaii in February. To take advantage of special fares, KC purchased airline tickets in advance from Alaska Airlines at a total cost of $50,000. These were acquired on December 1 for cash. By using the balance sheet equation format, analyze the impact of the December payment and the February travel on the financial position of both KC and Alaska. Also prepare journal entries for February for both companies. 4-24 Accrual of Wages Consider the following calendar: September S M T W T F S 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
182 CHAPTER 4 ACCRUAL ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS The Golden Rule Department Store commenced business on September 1. It is open every day except Sunday. Its total payroll for all employees is $8,000 per day. Payments are made each Tuesday for the preceding week s work through Saturday. By using the balance sheet equation format, analyze the financial impact on the Golden Rule of the following: 1. Disbursements for wages on September 8, 15, 22, and 29. 2. Adjustment for wages on September 30. Also prepare the journal entry required on September 30. 4-25 Accrued Vacation Pay As of December 31, 2008, Delta Airlines had the following account listed as a current liability on its balance sheet: Accrued salaries and related benefits $972,000,000 The related benefits include the liability for vacation pay. Under the accrual basis of accounting, vacation pay is ordinarily accrued throughout the year as workers perform service and earn vacation. For example, suppose a Delta baggage handler earns $1,250 per week for 50 weeks and also gets paid $2,500 for 2 weeks vacation each year. Accrual accounting requires that the obligation for the $2,500 be recognized as it is earned instead of when the payment is disbursed. Thus, in each of the 50 work weeks, Delta would recognize a wage expense (or vacation pay expense) of $2,500/50 = $50. 1. Prepare Delta s weekly adjusting journal entry called for by the $50 example. 2. Prepare the entry for the $2,500 payment of vacation pay. 4-26 Placement of Interest in Income Statement Two companies have the following balance sheets as of December 31, 20X8: Jupiter Company Cash $ 50,000 Note payable* $100,000 Other assets 150,000 Stockholders equity 100,000 Total $200,000 Total $200,000 * 9% annual interest. Saturn Company Cash $ 50,000 Stockholders equity $200,000 Other assets 150,000 Total $200,000 In 20X9, each company had sales of $700,000 and operating expenses of $600,000. Jupiter had not repaid the $100,000 Note Payable as of December 31, 20X9. Neither company incurred any new interest-bearing debt in 20X9. Ignore income taxes. Did the two companies earn the same net income and the same operating income? Explain, showing computations of operating income and net income. 4-27 Effects of Interest on Lenders and Borrowers Bank of America lent Miller Paint Company $1,500,000 on April 1, 20X0. The loan plus interest of 8% is payable on April 1, 20X1. 1. By using the balance sheet equation format, prepare an analysis of the impact of the transaction on both Bank of America s and Miller s financial position on April 1, 20X0. Show the summary adjustments on December 31, 20X0, for the period April 1 to December 31. Prepare an analysis of the transaction that takes place on April 1, 20X1, when Miller repays its obligation. 2. Prepare adjusting journal entries for Bank of America and Miller on December 31, 20X0. 3. Prepare the entries that Bank of America and Miller would make on April 1, 20X1 when the loan and interest is repaid. These entries should include interest that accumulates between January 1, 20X1, and April 1, 20X1.

Interest Expense Required All accounts needed to answer this question are listed previously. The same account may be used in several answers. Prepare any necessary adjusting or correcting entries called for by the following situations, which were discovered at the end of the calendar year. With respect to each situation, assume that no entries have been made concerning the situation other than those specifically described (i.e., no monthly adjustments have been made during the year). Consider each situation separately. These transactions were not necessarily conducted by one firm. Amounts are in thousands of dollars. a. A $5,000 purchase of equipment on December 30 was erroneously debited to Long-Term Debt. The credit was correctly made to Cash. b. A business made several purchases of fuel oil. Some purchases ($900) were debited to Fuel Expense, whereas others ($1,100) were charged to an asset account. An oil gauge revealed $300 of fuel on hand at the end of the year. There was no fuel on hand at the beginning of the year. What adjustment was necessary on December 31? c. On April 1, a business took out a fire insurance policy. The policy was for 2 years, and the full premium of $2,400 was paid on April 1. The payment was debited to Insurance Expense on April 1. What adjustment was necessary on December 31? d. On December 1, $6,000 was paid in advance to the landlord for 5 months rent. The tenant debited Prepaid Rent for $6,000 on December 1. What adjustment is necessary on December 31 on the tenant s books? e. Machinery is repaired and maintained by an outside maintenance company on an annual fee basis, payable in advance.

In this problem, consider the effect on the current ratio and return on sales if the adjusting/ correcting entries were not made. Indicate whether the failure to record the adjusting/correcting entry will result in these ratios being understated (u), overstated (o), or no effect (n). If additional information is necessary before you can provide the correct response, indicate with (i). Prior to the adjusting entry, the current ratio exceeds 1.0 and the company operated at a profit. (a) (b) (c) (d) (e) (f) (g) (h) (i) Current Ratio Return on Sales Problems 4-35 Adjusting Entries (Alternates are 4-37 through 4-39.) Amber Marshall, certified public accountant, had the following transactions (among others) during 20X0: a.
