Solutions midterm ACCT5111F

Problem 1

You must begin by computing the beginning and ending gross balances in the A/R account.

Accounts receivable Allowance for bad debts


Begin. Bal 13,389 375 beg. Bal.
56 write-off 14 bad debt exp.
New A/R 69,943 67,956 cash collections Write-off 56
Ending bal. 15,320 333 ending bal.

Problem 2

Inventory
Beginning balance 7,000 @ 11
Purchase March 5 19,000 @ 9 Sale 8,000 @ 28
Purchase Sept. 19 10,000 @ 5 Sale 16,000 @ 30

12,000 units in ending inventory.


Ending FIFO inventory =
10,000 @ 5 = 50,000
2,000 @ 9 = 18,000
= 68,000

Cost of Goods Sold under FIFO = 77,000 + 221,000 – 68,000 = 230,000

Ending LIFO inventory =


7,000 @ 11 = 77,000
5,000 @ 9 = 45,000
= 122,000

Cost of Goods Sold under LIFO = 77,000 + 221,000 – 122,000 = 176,000

Income statement through Gross Profit:

Under FIFO Under LIFO


Sales 704,000 704,000
Cost of Goods Sold 230,000 176,000
Gross Profit 474,000 528,000
Operating expenses 400,000 400,000
Pre-tax profit 74,000 128,000

In an environment of falling prices, LIFO generates a lower Cost of Goods Sold and higher gross profit.
Thus, under such circumstances, FIFO is preferable for tax purposes.
Problem 3

1) Journal entry for sale of property:

Cash 53
Accumulated dep. 774
Loss on sale of property 13
Property sold 840

2) Computation of impairment

Property, plant & equipment Accumulated depreciation


Beg. Bal. 39,151 21,190 beg. bal.
Capex 2,328
840 property sold (gross) 1,923 depreciation exp.
19 impairment Acc. dep. on
sold property
774
Ending bal. 40,620 22,339 ending bal.

Journal entry for impairment:
