CHAPTER 1 ACCOUNTING IN ACTION CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1. Identify the uses and users of accounting and the objective of financial reporting. Accounting is the information system that identifies, records, and communicates the economic events of an organization to a wide variety of interested users. Good accounting is important to people both inside and outside the organization. Internal users, such as management, use accounting information to plan, control, and evaluate business operations. External users include investors and creditors, among others. Accounting data are used by investors (owners or potential owners) to decide whether to buy, hold, or sell their financial interests. Creditors (suppliers and bankers) evaluate the risks of granting credit or lending money based on the accounting information. The objective of financial reporting is to provide useful information to investors and creditors to make these decisions. Users need information about the business’s ability to earn a profit and generate cash. For our economic system to function smoothly, reliable and ethical accounting and financial reporting are critical. 2. Compare the different forms of business organization. The most common examples of business organization are proprietorships, partnerships, and corporations. Proprietorships and partnerships are not separate legal entities but are separate entities for accounting purposes; income taxes are paid by the owners and owners have unlimited liability. Corporations are separate legal entities as well as separate entities for accounting purposes; income taxes are paid by the corporation and owners of the corporation have limited liability. 3. Explain the building blocks of accounting: ethics and the concepts included in the conceptual framework. Generally accepted accounting principles are a common set of guidelines that are used to prepare and report accounting information. The conceptual framework outlines some of the body of theory used by accountants to fulfill their goal of providing useful accounting information to users. Ethical behaviour is fundamental to fulfilling the objective of financial accounting. The reporting entity concept requires the business activities of each reporting entity to be kept separate from the activities of its owner and other economic entities. The going concern assumption presumes that a business will continue operations for enough time to use its assets for their intended purpose and to fulfill its commitments. The periodicity concept requires businesses to divide up economic activities into distinct periods of time. Qualitative characteristics include fundamental and enhancing characteristics that help to ensure accounting information is useful. Only events that cause changes in the business’s economic resources or changes to the claims on those resources are recorded. Recognition is the process of recording transactions and measurement is the process of determining the amount that should be recognized. The historical cost concept states that economic resources should be recorded at their historical (original) cost. Fair value may be
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
a more appropriate measure for certain types of resources. Generally, fair value is the amount the resource could be sold for in the market. The monetary unit concept requires that only transactions that can be expressed as an amount of money be included in the accounting records, and it assumes that the monetary unit is stable. The revenue recognition principle requires companies to recognize revenue when a performance obligation(s) is satisfied. The matching concept requires that costs be recognized as expenses in the same period as revenue is recognized when there is a direct association between the cost incurred and revenue recognized. In Canada, there are two sets of standards for profit-oriented businesses. Publicly accountable enterprises must follow International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and private enterprises have the choice of following IFRS or Accounting Standards for Private Enterprises (ASPE). 4. Describe the elements of the financial statements and explain the accounting equation. Assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity are reported on the balance sheet. Assets are present economic resources controlled by the business as a result of past events and have the potential to produce economic benefits. Liabilities are present obligations of a business to transfer an economic resource as a result of past events. Owner’s equity is the owner’s claim on the company’s assets and is equal to total assets minus total liabilities. The balance sheet is based on the accounting equation: Assets = Liabilities + Owner’s equity. The Income statement reports the profit or loss for a specified period of time. Profit is equal to revenues minus expenses. Revenues are the increases in assets, or decreases in liabilities, that result from business activities that are undertaken to earn profit. Expenses are the cost of assets consumed or services used in a company’s business activities. They are decreases in assets or increases in liabilities, excluding withdrawals made by the owners, and result in a decrease to owner’s equity. The statement of owner’s equity summarizes the changes in owner’s equity during the period. Owner’s equity is increased by investments by the owner and profits. It is decreased by drawings and losses. Investments are contributions of cash or other assets by owners. Drawings are withdrawals of cash or other assets from the business for the owner’s personal use. Owner’s equity in a partnership is referred to as partners’ equity and in a corporation as shareholders’ equity. A cash flow statement summarizes information about the cash inflows (receipts) and outflows (payments) for a specific period of time. 5. Analyze the effects of business transactions on the accounting equation. Each business transaction must have a dual effect on the accounting equation. For example, if an individual asset is increased, there must be a corresponding (1) decrease in another asset, (2) increase in a liability, and/or (3) increase in owner’s equity. 6. Prepare financial statements. The income statement is prepared first. Expenses are deducted from revenues to calculate the profit or loss for a specific period of time. Then the statement of owner’s equity is prepared using the profit or loss reported in the income statement. The profit is added to (losses are deducted from) the owner’s equity at the beginning of the period. Drawings are then deducted to calculate owner’s equity at the end of the period. A balance sheet reports the assets, liabilities, and owner’s equity of a business as at the end of the accounting period. The owner’s equity
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
at the end of the period, as calculated in the statement of owner’s equity, is reported on the balance sheet in the owner’s equity section.

CHAPTER 2 THE RECORDING PROCESS CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.
Describe how accounts, debits, and credits are used to record business transactions. Debit means left and credit means right. The normal balance of an asset is a debit because assets are on the left side of the accounting equation. Assets are increased by debits and decreased by credits. The normal balance of liabilities and owner’s capital is a credit because they are on the right side of the accounting equation. Liabilities and owner’s capital are increased by credits and decreased by debits. Revenues increase owner’s equity and therefore are recorded as credits because credits increase owner’s equity. Credits increase revenues and debits decrease revenues. Expenses and drawings decrease owner’s equity and therefore are recorded as debits because debits decrease owner’s equity. Expenses and drawings are increased by debits and decreased by credits.
2.
State how a journal is used in the recording process and journalize transactions. The steps in the recording process are the first three steps in the accounting cycle. These steps are: (a) analyze each transaction for its effect on the accounts, (b) record the transaction in a journal, and (c) transfer the journal information to the correct accounts in the ledger. A journal: (a) discloses the complete effect of a transaction in one place, (b) provides a chronological record of transactions, and (c) helps to prevent and locate errors because the debit and credit amounts for each entry can be easily compared.
3.
Explain how a ledger helps in the recording process and post transactions. The ledger is the entire group of accounts maintained by a company. The ledger provides the balance in each of the accounts. Posting is the procedure of transferring journal entries to the ledger accounts. After the journal entries have been posted, the ledger will show all of the increases and decreases that have been made to each account.
4.
Prepare a trial balance. A trial balance is a list of the accounts in the ledger and the account balances at a specific time. Its main purpose is to prove that debits and credits are equal after posting. A trial balance uncovers certain types of errors in journalizing and posting, and is useful in preparing financial statements. Preparing a trial balance is the fourth step in the accounting cycle.

CHAPTER 2 THE RECORDING PROCESS CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.
Describe how accounts, debits, and credits are used to record business transactions. Debit means left and credit means right. The normal balance of an asset is a debit because assets are on the left side of the accounting equation. Assets are increased by debits and decreased by credits. The normal balance of liabilities and owner’s capital is a credit because they are on the right side of the accounting equation. Liabilities and owner’s capital are increased by credits and decreased by debits. Revenues increase owner’s equity and therefore are recorded as credits because credits increase owner’s equity. Credits increase revenues and debits decrease revenues. Expenses and drawings decrease owner’s equity and therefore are recorded as debits because debits decrease owner’s equity. Expenses and drawings are increased by debits and decreased by credits.
2.
State how a journal is used in the recording process and journalize transactions. The steps in the recording process are the first three steps in the accounting cycle. These steps are: (a) analyze each transaction for its effect on the accounts, (b) record the transaction in a journal, and (c) transfer the journal information to the correct accounts in the ledger. A journal: (a) discloses the complete effect of a transaction in one place, (b) provides a chronological record of transactions, and (c) helps to prevent and locate errors because the debit and credit amounts for each entry can be easily compared.
3.
Explain how a ledger helps in the recording process and post transactions. The ledger is the entire group of accounts maintained by a company. The ledger provides the balance in each of the accounts. Posting is the procedure of transferring journal entries to the ledger accounts. After the journal entries have been posted, the ledger will show all of the increases and decreases that have been made to each account.
4.
Prepare a trial balance. A trial balance is a list of the accounts in the ledger and the account balances at a specific time. Its main purpose is to prove that debits and credits are equal after posting. A trial balance uncovers certain types of errors in journalizing and posting, and is useful in preparing financial statements. Preparing a trial balance is the fourth step in the accounting cycle.

CHAPTER 3 ADJUSTING THE ACCOUNTS CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Explain accrual basis accounting, and when to recognize revenues and expenses. In order to provide timely information, accountants divide the life of a business into specific time periods. Therefore, it is important to record transactions in the correct time period. Under accrual basis accounting, events that change a company’s financial statements are recorded in the periods in which the events occur, rather than in the periods in which the company receives or pays cash. The revenue recognition principle provides guidance about when to recognize revenues. In general, revenues are recorded when the goods are delivered or services are performed. Expenses are recorded in the same period as revenue is recognized, if there is a direct association between the revenues and expenses. If there is no association between revenues and expenses, expenses are recorded in the period they are incurred. 2. Describe adjusting entries and prepare adjusting entries for prepayments. Prepayments are either prepaid expenses or unearned revenues. Adjusting entries for prepayments record the portion of the prepayment that applies to the expense or revenue of the current accounting period. The adjusting entry for prepaid expenses debits (increases) an expense account and credits (decreases) an asset account. For a long-lived asset, the contra asset account Accumulated Depreciation is used instead of crediting the asset account directly. The adjusting entry for unearned revenues debits (decreases) a liability account and credits (increases) a revenue account. 3. Prepare adjusting entries for accruals. Accruals are either accrued revenues or accrued expenses. Adjusting entries for accruals record revenues and expenses that apply to the current accounting period and that have not yet been recognized through daily journal entries. The adjusting entry for accrued revenue debits (increases) a receivable account and credits (increases) a revenue account. The adjusting entry for an accrued expense debits (increases) an expense account and credits (increases) a liability account. 4. Describe the nature and purpose of an adjusted trial balance, and prepare one. An adjusted trial balance shows the balances of all accounts, including those that have been adjusted, at the end of an accounting period. It proves that the total of the accounts with debit balances is still equal to the total of the accounts with credit balances after the adjustments have been posted. Financial statements are prepared from an adjusted trial balance in the following order: (1) income statement, (2) statement of owner’s equity, and (3) balance sheet.

Section Reference: Timing Issues CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 2 The following situations are independent: 1. Lisa’s Drywall Installation completes a $4,000 contract, starting work on June 16, and completing the work on July 15. The home builder pays them $1,000 in advance on June 15, $2,600 on July 15, and the balance ($400) when the home is sold in September. 2. An interior designer signs a contract in December 2023 to provide design services to a home builder, related to decorating a new show home. The contract is valued at $25,000 and the designer receives a 10% down payment upon signing the contract. All design work is done during January 2024. On February 1, 2024, the show home opens to the public and the home builder pays the 90% balance remaining on the contract. 3. A lawyer has a meeting with a new client on April 15 and agrees to represent her in a legal case. The fee negotiated is to be based on the number of hours the lawyer spends on the case. At the end of the meeting, the client pays the lawyer $500 as a “retainer.” The case involves research and negotiations that take place in May. On June 2, the lawyer invoices the client for $3,200 and the client pays the balance due ($2,700) in two equal instalments on June 15 and July 15. 4. On January 1 an insurance company receives $4,200 for a one-year insurance policy that will expire on December 31. Instructions For each situation, state in which month(s) the revenue will be recognized and calculate how much is recognized in each month, and explain why. Solution 2 (10 min.) 1. Half the work is done in June, so ½ x $4,000 = $2,000 is recognized in June and the balance of $2,000 in July. 2.
The entire fee of $25,000 is recognized in January because that is when the design work is completed.
3.
The entire revenue of $3,200 should be recognized in May because that is when the services were rendered.
4.
The insurance company will recognize $350/month each month for 12 months ($4,200/12).

The accrual basis of accounting provides a better measure of profit than the cash basis. The
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
accrual basis is required under generally accepted accounting principles and recognizes revenues when there is an increase in assets or a decrease in liabilities and expenses are recognized when there is a decrease in assets or an increase in liabilities as a result of the company’s business activities. Revenues and expenses recognized under the accrual basis are related to the economic environment in which they occur and thus allow trends to be more meaningfully interpreted. The cash basis often fails to recognize revenue in the period when there is an increase in owner’s equity, and expenses when there is a decrease in owner’s equity. Additionally, expenses are not matched with revenues; when there is a direct link between the revenue recognized and the expenses, they should all be recognized in the same accounting period.

$4,000. The $8,000 balance on the adjusted trial balance reflects two months remaining on the prepaid lease. This indicates that the monthly lease is $4,000.
2.
The equipment is 11 months old. By dividing annual depreciation ($6,000) by 12, the monthly depreciation expense is $500. The accumulated depreciation account shows $5,500, which means that $5,500 of the cost of the equipment has been allocated to expense. The company estimates that it has benefited from $5,500 of the total capital cost to date.
3.
150 tickets were originally sold. Twenty-five tickets were used in April at $4 each. The adjusted trial balance shows a balance of $500 indicating that 125 tickets are still outstanding. By adding the 25 used in April to the 125 still remaining to be used, 150 tickets must have been sold on April 1.

The following amounts are taken from Helpful Handyman’s unadjusted trial balance at June 30, 2024. Assume all accounts are their normal balance (debit or credit). Loan receivable ........................................................................ $ 1,500 Accounts receivable ................................................................. 2,650 Accounts payable ..................................................................... 3,500 Bank loan payable .................................................................... 9,000 Service revenue ........................................................................ 385,600 Salaries expense ....................................................................... 38,400 Rent expense ............................................................................ 2,000 Additional information about the accounting records follows: 1. The loan receivable was made to an employee on June 1 and the employee is to pay interest at 12% annually in monthly instalments starting July 1. 2. Edward normally invoices customers when the jobs are complete. At June 30, there was $5,000 of work that had been completed near month end for which invoices had not yet been issued. 3. The bank loan bears interest at 6% and was taken out on April 1. Interest payments are due quarterly, so no interest has yet been paid. 4. The last pay day before June 30 was on June 25. Since then, the 10 employees have worked an average of 25 hours each, at a wage of $8.50 per hour. 5. Rent is $2,000 per month. The June rent has not yet been paid.

CHAPTER 3 ADJUSTING THE ACCOUNTS CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Explain accrual basis accounting, and when to recognize revenues and expenses. In order to provide timely information, accountants divide the life of a business into specific time periods. Therefore, it is important to record transactions in the correct time period. Under accrual basis accounting, events that change a company’s financial statements are recorded in the periods in which the events occur, rather than in the periods in which the company receives or pays cash. The revenue recognition principle provides guidance about when to recognize revenues. In general, revenues are recorded when the goods are delivered or services are performed. Expenses are recorded in the same period as revenue is recognized, if there is a direct association between the revenues and expenses. If there is no association between revenues and expenses, expenses are recorded in the period they are incurred. 2. Describe adjusting entries and prepare adjusting entries for prepayments. Prepayments are either prepaid expenses or unearned revenues. Adjusting entries for prepayments record the portion of the prepayment that applies to the expense or revenue of the current accounting period. The adjusting entry for prepaid expenses debits (increases) an expense account and credits (decreases) an asset account. For a long-lived asset, the contra asset account Accumulated Depreciation is used instead of crediting the asset account directly. The adjusting entry for unearned revenues debits (decreases) a liability account and credits (increases) a revenue account. 3. Prepare adjusting entries for accruals. Accruals are either accrued revenues or accrued expenses. Adjusting entries for accruals record revenues and expenses that apply to the current accounting period and that have not yet been recognized through daily journal entries. The adjusting entry for accrued revenue debits (increases) a receivable account and credits (increases) a revenue account. The adjusting entry for an accrued expense debits (increases) an expense account and credits (increases) a liability account. 4. Describe the nature and purpose of an adjusted trial balance, and prepare one. An adjusted trial balance shows the balances of all accounts, including those that have been adjusted, at the end of an accounting period. It proves that the total of the accounts with debit balances is still equal to the total of the accounts with credit balances after the adjustments have been posted. Financial statements are prepared from an adjusted trial balance in the following order: (1) income statement, (2) statement of owner’s equity, and (3) balance sheet.

CHAPTER 4 COMPLETION OF THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Prepare closing entries and a post-closing trial balance. At the end of an accounting period, the temporary account balances (revenue, expense, Income Summary, and Owner’s Drawings) are transferred to the Owner’s Capital account by journalizing and posting closing entries. Separate entries are made to close revenues and expenses to Income Summary; then Income Summary to Owner’s Capital; and, finally, Owner’s Drawings to Owner’s Capital. The temporary accounts begin the new period with a zero balance and the Owner’s Capital account is updated to show its end-of-period balance. A post-closing trial balance has the balances in permanent accounts (i.e., balance sheet accounts) that are carried forward to the next accounting period. The purpose of this trial balance, as with other trial balances, is to prove the equality of these account balances. 2. Explain the steps in the accounting cycle, including optional steps, and the preparation of correcting entries. The steps in the accounting cycle are (1) analyze business transactions, (2) journalize the transactions, (3) post to ledger accounts, (4) prepare a trial balance, (5) journalize and post adjusting entries, (6) prepare an adjusted trial balance, (7) prepare financial statements, (8) journalize and post closing entries, and (9) prepare a post-closing trial balance. A work sheet may be used to help prepare adjusting entries and financial statements. Reversing entries are an optional step that may be used at the beginning of the next accounting period. Correcting entries are recorded whenever an error (an incorrect journal entry) is found. A correcting entry can be determined by comparing the incorrect entry with the journal entry that should have been recorded (the correct entry). The comparison will show which accounts need to be corrected and by how much. The correcting entry will correct the accounts. An equally acceptable alternative is to reverse the incorrect entry and then record the correct entry. 3. Prepare a classified balance sheet. In a classified balance sheet, assets are classified as current assets and non-current assets, which include long-term investments; property, plant, and equipment; intangible assets; and goodwill. Liabilities are classified as either current or non-current. Current assets are assets that are expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are liabilities that are expected to be paid from current assets within one year of the balance sheet date. The classified balance sheet also includes an equity section, which varies with the form of business organization. 4. Illustrate measures used to evaluate liquidity. One of the measures used to evaluate a company’s short-term liquidity is its working capital, which is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. This can also be expressed as the current ratio (current assets ÷ current liabilities). The acid-test ratio is a measure of the company’s immediate short-term liquidity and is calculated by dividing the sum of
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
cash, short-term investments, and receivables by current liabilities. Ratio trends can also be examined using visualizations. For example, current ratios for multiple years can be presented in a graph, visual, or table. 5. Prepare a work sheet (Appendix 4A). A work sheet is an optional multi-column form, used to assist in preparing adjusting entries and financial statements. The steps in preparing a work sheet are (1) prepare a trial balance on the work sheet; (2) enter the adjustments in the adjustment columns; (3) enter adjusted balances in the adjusted trial balance columns; (4) enter adjusted trial balance amounts in the correct financial statement columns; and (5) total the statement columns, calculate profit (or loss), and complete the work sheet. 6. Prepare reversing entries (Appendix 4B). Reversing entries are optional entries used to simplify bookkeeping. They are made at the beginning of the new accounting period and are the direct opposite of the adjusting entries made in the preceding period. Only accrual adjusting entries are reversed. If reversing entries are used, then subsequent cash transactions can be recorded without referring to the adjusting entries prepared at the end of the previous period.

This negative working capital suggests that the company will have a difficult time meeting its shortterm obligations as their current liabilities exceed current assets. Current ratio
= Current assets ÷ Current liabilities = $35,000 ÷ $36,000 = 0.97:1
This current ratio indicates that Saint Company has $0.97 of current assets for every dollar of current liabilities. This ratio suggests that the company will have a difficult time meeting its short-term obligations as the ratio falls below 1. Acid-test ratio = (Cash + Short-Term Investments + Accounts Receivable) ÷ Current liabilities = ($0 + $0 + $16,000) ÷ $36,000 = 0.44:1 Similar to the current ratio, this ratio indicates that Saint Company has $0.44 of highly liquid assets for every dollar of current liabilities. This ratio suggests that the company will have a difficult time meeting its short-term obligations as the ratio falls well below 1. Bloomcode: Synthesis Difficulty: Hard Learning Objective: Prepare a classified balance sheet. Section Reference: Classified Balance Sheet Learning Objective: Illustrate measures used to evaluate liquidity. Section Reference: Using the Information in the Financial Statements CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 35 The following data are taken from the financial statements of Marlow Company as at the end of the year 2024. Accounts payable .................. $14,000 Profit .................................... 24,000 Accounts receivable .............. 33,000 Supplies ............................... 4,300 Cash ....................................... 27,000 Total assets ......................... 125,000 Other current liabilities ......... 8,500 Total liabilities..................... 100,000 Prepaid insurance ................. 1,000 Salaries payable .................. 2,500 Instructions a) Calculate Marlow Company’s working capital, current ratio, and acid-test ratio. b) Explain what additional information you would require in order to use the three measures to evaluate Marlow’s liquidity. Solution 35 (5 min.) a) Working capital = Current assets – Current liabilities = ($27,000 + $33,000 + $1,000 + $4,300) – ($14,000 + $8,500 + $2,500) = $40,300
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities = $65,300 ÷ $25,000 = 2.61:1 Acid-test ratio = (Cash + Accounts Receivable) ÷ Current liabilities = ($27,000 + $33,000) ÷ $25,000 = 2.4:1 b)
In order to use this information to evaluate Marlow’s liquidity, you would need to compare the amounts to Marlow’s prior-year calculations, to industry averages, or to the results for a competitor of similar size. Changes in the general economic environment would also be important to evaluate the possible cause(s) of changes from one year to the next.
Bloomcode: Application Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Illustrate measures used to evaluate liquidity. Section Reference: Using the Information in the Financial Statements CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 36 Kean’s Biotechnologies is located in Kelowna, British Columbia. It is a leader in the development of computer-adapted bio-technical scanning and the pre-eminent company operating in this industry. The following data (in millions) were taken from Kean’s most recent financial statements. December 31 2024 2023 2022 Current assets $87,406 $66,847 $62,441 Current liabilities 26,242 18,986 16,841 Instructions a) Calculate the working capital and current ratio for each year. b) Discuss Kean’s liquidity in 2024 compared to the previous two years. c) Compare the purpose of the current ratio to the acid-test ratio and explain what additional information would be needed to calculate the acid-test ratio for Kean’s Biotechnologies. Solution 36 (10 min.) a) ($ in millions) Working capital
Current ratio
b)
2024 $87,406 – $26,242 = $61,164
2023 $66,847 – $18,986 = $47,861
2022 $62,441 – $16,841 = $45,600
$87,406 ÷ $26,242 = 3.3:1
$66,847 ÷ $18,986 = 3.5:1
$62,441 ÷ $16,841 = 3.7:1
Although the dollar amount of working capital has increased, the amount of current assets available per dollar of current liabilities has decreased as evidenced by the declining current ratio. Kean’s liquidity has weakened from 2022 to 2024.
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
c)
The acid-test ratio uses only highly liquid current assets when computing the ratio, so it will always be less than the current ratio. To calculate the acid-test ratio, a breakdown of the current assets would be necessary as only cash, accounts receivable, and short-term investments would be used in the numerator of the ratio. The acid-test ratio will give an indication of whether the company is highly liquid or less so.
Bloomcode: Application Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Illustrate measures used to evaluate liquidity. Section Reference: Using the Information in the Financial Statements CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 37 The following data is taken from the financial statements of Dellmont Company: Accounts payable .................. $28,000 Profit ................................. $ 50,000 Accounts receivable .............. 65,000 Service revenue ................ 500,000 Cash ....................................... 56,000 Salaries payable ............... 7,000 Other current liabilities ......... 20,000 Owner’s equity ................. 169,000 Prepaid insurance ................. 2,500 Total assets ...................... 325,000 Additional information: Information taken from the financial statements of Dellmont’s major competitor: Current assets...................... $250,000 Current liabilities ................. 131,000 Service revenue ................... 980,000 Information taken from industry publications: Average current ratio is 2.5:1 Average acid-test ratio is 1.9:1 Instructions Calculate Dellmont’s working capital and current and acid-test ratios, and comment on the company’s liquidity. Solution 37 (10 min.) Dellmont working capital
= Current assets – Current liabilities = $123,500 – $55,000 = $68,500
Dellmont current ratio
= Current assets ÷ Current liabilities = $123,500 ÷ $55,000 = 2.25:1
Dellmont acid-test ratio
= (Cash + Accounts receivable) ÷ Current liabilities = ($56,000 + $65,000) ÷ $55,000 = 2.2:1
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
Competitor working capital
= Current assets – Current liabilities = $250,000 – $131,000 = $119,000
Competitor current ratio
= Current assets ÷ Current liabilities = $250,000 ÷ $131,000 = 1.9:1
Dellmont’s major competitor is approximately twice its size when comparing total revenue. Because of the size difference, it is difficult to use working capital to determine whether Dellmont or its competitor is more liquid, although the competitor’s working capital is almost twice that of Dellmont. Once the current ratios are compared, it appears that Dellmont is doing better than the competitor, but both are lagging the industry average. There is insufficient information to calculate the competitor’s acid-test ratio, but when Dellmont’s acid-test ratio is compared to the industry average, it shows that Dellmont’s current assets are highly liquid and Dellmont is doing better than the industry average.

CHAPTER 4 COMPLETION OF THE ACCOUNTING CYCLE CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Prepare closing entries and a post-closing trial balance. At the end of an accounting period, the temporary account balances (revenue, expense, Income Summary, and Owner’s Drawings) are transferred to the Owner’s Capital account by journalizing and posting closing entries. Separate entries are made to close revenues and expenses to Income Summary; then Income Summary to Owner’s Capital; and, finally, Owner’s Drawings to Owner’s Capital. The temporary accounts begin the new period with a zero balance and the Owner’s Capital account is updated to show its end-of-period balance. A post-closing trial balance has the balances in permanent accounts (i.e., balance sheet accounts) that are carried forward to the next accounting period. The purpose of this trial balance, as with other trial balances, is to prove the equality of these account balances. 2. Explain the steps in the accounting cycle, including optional steps, and the preparation of correcting entries. The steps in the accounting cycle are (1) analyze business transactions, (2) journalize the transactions, (3) post to ledger accounts, (4) prepare a trial balance, (5) journalize and post adjusting entries, (6) prepare an adjusted trial balance, (7) prepare financial statements, (8) journalize and post closing entries, and (9) prepare a post-closing trial balance. A work sheet may be used to help prepare adjusting entries and financial statements. Reversing entries are an optional step that may be used at the beginning of the next accounting period. Correcting entries are recorded whenever an error (an incorrect journal entry) is found. A correcting entry can be determined by comparing the incorrect entry with the journal entry that should have been recorded (the correct entry). The comparison will show which accounts need to be corrected and by how much. The correcting entry will correct the accounts. An equally acceptable alternative is to reverse the incorrect entry and then record the correct entry. 3. Prepare a classified balance sheet. In a classified balance sheet, assets are classified as current assets and non-current assets, which include long-term investments; property, plant, and equipment; intangible assets; and goodwill. Liabilities are classified as either current or non-current. Current assets are assets that are expected to be realized within one year of the balance sheet date. Current liabilities are liabilities that are expected to be paid from current assets within one year of the balance sheet date. The classified balance sheet also includes an equity section, which varies with the form of business organization. 4. Illustrate measures used to evaluate liquidity. One of the measures used to evaluate a company’s short-term liquidity is its working capital, which is the excess of current assets over current liabilities. This can also be expressed as the current ratio (current assets ÷ current liabilities). The acid-test ratio is a measure of the company’s immediate short-term liquidity and is calculated by dividing the sum of
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
cash, short-term investments, and receivables by current liabilities. Ratio trends can also be examined using visualizations. For example, current ratios for multiple years can be presented in a graph, visual, or table. 5. Prepare a work sheet (Appendix 4A). A work sheet is an optional multi-column form, used to assist in preparing adjusting entries and financial statements. The steps in preparing a work sheet are (1) prepare a trial balance on the work sheet; (2) enter the adjustments in the adjustment columns; (3) enter adjusted balances in the adjusted trial balance columns; (4) enter adjusted trial balance amounts in the correct financial statement columns; and (5) total the statement columns, calculate profit (or loss), and complete the work sheet. 6. Prepare reversing entries (Appendix 4B). Reversing entries are optional entries used to simplify bookkeeping. They are made at the beginning of the new accounting period and are the direct opposite of the adjusting entries made in the preceding period. Only accrual adjusting entries are reversed. If reversing entries are used, then subsequent cash transactions can be recorded without referring to the adjusting entries prepared at the end of the previous period.

CHAPTER 5 ACCOUNTING FOR MERCHANDISING OPERATIONS CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the differences between service and merchandising companies. A service company performs services. It has service or fee revenue and operating expenses. A merchandising company sells goods. It has merchandise inventory, sales revenue, cost of goods sold, gross profit, and operating expenses. A merchandising company has a longer operating cycle than a service company. Merchandising companies must decide if they want to spend the extra resources to use a perpetual inventory system in which inventory records are updated with each purchase and sale. The benefit of the perpetual system is that it provides better information and control over inventory than a periodic system in which inventory records are updated only at the end of the accounting period. 2. Prepare entries for purchases under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account is debited (increased) for all purchases of merchandise and freight, if freight is paid by the buyer. It is credited (decreased) for purchase returns and allowances and purchase discounts. Purchase discounts are cash reductions to the net invoice price for early payment. 3. Prepare entries for sales under a perpetual inventory system using the earnings approach. When inventory is sold, two entries are required: (1) Accounts Receivable (or Cash) is debited and Sales is credited for the selling price of the merchandise. (2) Cost of Goods Sold (an expense) is debited (increased) and Merchandise Inventory (a current asset) is credited (decreased) for the cost of the inventory items sold. Contra revenue accounts are used to record sales returns and allowances, and sales discounts. If the returned merchandise can be sold again in the future, an additional entry is made to increase Merchandise Inventory (a debit) and decrease Cost of Goods Sold (a credit). Freight costs paid by the seller are recorded as an operating expense. A contra revenue account is used to record sales discounts. 4. Perform the steps in the accounting cycle for a merchandising company. Each of the required steps in the accounting cycle for a service company is also done for a merchandising company. An additional adjusting entry may be required under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account must be adjusted to agree with the physical inventory count if there is a difference in the amounts. Merchandising companies have additional temporary accounts that must also be closed at the end of the accounting year. 5. Prepare single-step and multiple-step income statements. In a single-step income statement, all data are classified under two categories (revenues or expenses), and profit (loss) is determined by one step. A multiple-step income statement shows several steps in determining profit (loss). Net sales is calculated by deducting sales returns and allowances, and sales discounts from sales. Next, gross profit is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from net sales. Profit (loss) from operations is then calculated by
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
deducting operating expenses from gross profit. Total non-operating activities are added to (or deducted from) profit from operations to determine profit (loss) for the period. 6. Calculate the gross profit margin and profit margin. The gross profit margin, calculated by dividing gross profit by net sales, measures the gross profit earned for each dollar of sales. The profit margin, calculated by dividing profit by net sales, measures the profit earned for each dollar of sales. Both are measures of profitability that are closely watched by management and other interested parties. 7. Prepare entries for purchases and sales under a periodic inventory system using the earnings approach and calculate cost of goods sold (Appendix 5A). In a periodic inventory system, separate temporary expense and contra expense accounts are used to record (a) purchases, (b) purchase returns and allowances, (c) purchase discounts, and (d) freight costs paid by the buyer. Purchases − purchase returns and allowances − purchase discounts = net purchases. Net purchases + freight in = cost of goods purchased. In a periodic inventory system, only one journal entry is made to record a sale of merchandise: Accounts Receivable (or Cash) is debited and Sales is credited. Cost of goods sold is not recorded at the time of the sale. Instead, it is calculated as follows at the end of the period after the ending inventory has been counted: Beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased = cost of goods available for sale. Cost of goods available for sale − ending inventory = cost of goods sold. 8. Prepare entries for sales under a perpetual inventory system using the contract-based approach (Appendix 5B). The contract-based approach to revenue recognition is used by companies that follow IFRS. The core principle of this approach is that revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is complete and the amount of revenue recorded is the consideration (i.e., Cash) a company expects to receive. Merchandisers that offer their customers a right of return are obligated to provide a refund if requested by the buyer. The seller will estimate the potential return from a customer at the time of sale and will credit the liability account Refund Liability. At the same time, the seller estimates the cost of expected returned merchandise and debits an account called Estimated Inventory Returns. Refund Liability and Estimated Inventory Returns are balance sheet accounts. Merchandisers that offer their customers a cash discount for prompt payment will determine the probability that a customer will take advantage of the discount and the sales revenue recorded is reduced accordingly. If the customer does not take advantage of the discount, Sales revenue is credited to reflect the additional amount received.

In a perpetual inventory system, the company keeps detailed records of each inventory purchase and sale. This system continuously shows the quantity and cost of the inventory that should be on hand for every item. In a periodic inventory system, companies do not keep detailed inventory records of the goods on hand throughout the period. Instead, the cost of goods sold is determined only at the end of the accounting period.

The owner, John Walton, is quite pleased to see that sales are growing steadily. 2024 2023 2022 Sales .................................................... $61,500 $50,400 $42,000 Cost of goods sold............................... 27,670 21,170 16,800 Profit from operations ........................ 7,530 6,050 4,620 Profit for the year ................................ 3,075 4,030 2,940 Instructions a) Calculate gross profit margin, profit margin, and profit margin using profit from operations (round to one decimal place). b) Comment on whether the Deli is, in fact, doing better over the three years as John believes. Solution 41 (15 min.) a) Gross profit margin Profit margin Profit
2024 2023 ($61,500 – $27,670) ÷ ($50,400 – $21,170) ÷ $61,500 = 55.0% $50,400 = 58.0% ($3,075 ÷ $61,500) = 5.0% ($4,030 ÷ $50,400) = 8.0% ($7,530 ÷ $61,500) = ($6,050 ÷ $50,400) = 12.0%

b) The deli’s sales have increased significantly from year to year, and profit has grown marginally (from $2,940 to $3,075) over the three years. However, the gross profit margin has decreased from 60% to 55%, so John is not increasing his prices at the same rate as his merchandise costs go up. Because the profit margin based on profit from operations has increased (from 11% to 12.2%), it would appear that he has had sufficient savings in operating expenses to compensate for the decrease in gross profit margin. Unfortunately, other (non-operating) costs seem to have gone up as well, since the profit margin has decreased (from 7% to 5%) at the same time as the operating profit margin increased.

CHAPTER 5 ACCOUNTING FOR MERCHANDISING OPERATIONS CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the differences between service and merchandising companies. A service company performs services. It has service or fee revenue and operating expenses. A merchandising company sells goods. It has merchandise inventory, sales, cost of goods sold, gross profit, and operating expenses. A merchandising company has a longer operating cycle than a service company. Merchandising companies must decide if they want to spend the extra resources to use a perpetual inventory system in which inventory records are updated with each purchase and sale. The benefit of the perpetual system is that it provides better information and control over inventory than a periodic system in which inventory records are updated only at the end of the accounting period. 2. Prepare entries for purchases under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account is debited (increased) for all purchases of merchandise and freight, if freight is paid by the buyer. It is credited (decreased) for purchase returns and allowances and purchase discounts. Purchase discounts are cash reductions to the net invoice price for early payment. 3. Prepare entries for sales under a perpetual inventory system using the earnings approach. When inventory is sold, two entries are required: (1) Accounts Receivable (or Cash) is debited and Sales is credited for the selling price of the merchandise. (2) Cost of Goods Sold (an expense) is debited (increased) and Merchandise Inventory (a current asset) is credited (decreased) for the cost of the inventory items sold. Contra revenue accounts are used to record sales returns and allowances, and sales discounts. If the returned merchandise can be sold again in the future, an additional entry is made to increase Merchandise Inventory (a debit) and decrease Cost of Goods Sold (a credit). Freight costs paid by the seller are recorded as an operating expense. A contra revenue account is used to record sales discounts. 4. Perform the steps in the accounting cycle for a merchandising company. Each of the required steps in the accounting cycle for a service company is also done for a merchandising company. An additional adjusting entry may be required under a perpetual inventory system. The Merchandise Inventory account must be adjusted to agree with the physical inventory count if there is a difference in the amounts. Merchandising companies have additional temporary accounts that must also be closed at the end of the accounting year. 5. Prepare single-step and multiple-step income statements. In a single-step income statement, all data are classified under two categories (revenues or expenses), and profit (loss) is determined in one step. A multiple-step income statement shows several steps in determining profit (loss). Net sales is
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
calculated by deducting sales returns and allowances, and sales discounts from sales. Next, gross profit is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from net sales. Profit (loss) from operations is then calculated by deducting operating expenses from gross profit. Total non-operating activities are added to (or deducted from) profit from operations to determine profit (loss) for the period. 6. Calculate the gross profit margin and profit margin. The gross profit margin, calculated by dividing gross profit by net sales, measures the gross profit earned for each dollar of sales. The profit margin, calculated by dividing profit by net sales, measures the profit earned for each dollar of sales. Both are measures of profitability that are closely watched by management and other interested parties. 7. Prepare entries for purchases and sales under a periodic inventory system using the earnings approach and calculate cost of goods sold (Appendix 5A). In a periodic inventory system, separate temporary expense and contra expense accounts are used to record (a) purchases, (b) purchase returns and allowances, (c) purchase discounts, and (d) freight costs paid by the buyer. Purchases − purchase returns and allowances − purchase discounts = net purchases. Net purchases + freight in = cost of goods purchased. In a periodic inventory system, only one journal entry is made to record a sale of merchandise: Accounts Receivable (or Cash) is debited and Sales is credited. Cost of goods sold is not recorded at the time of the sale. Instead, it is calculated as follows at the end of the period after the ending inventory has been counted: Beginning inventory + cost of goods purchased = cost of goods available for sale. Cost of goods available for sale − ending inventory = cost of goods sold. 8. Prepare entries for sales under a perpetual inventory system using the contract-based approach (Appendix 5B). The contract-based approach to revenue recognition is used by companies that follow IFRS. The core principle of this approach is that revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is complete and the amount of revenue recorded is the consideration (i.e., Cash) a company expects to receive. Merchandisers that offer their customers a right of return are obligated to provide a refund if requested by the buyer. The seller will estimate the potential return from a customer at the time of sale and will credit the liability account Refund Liability. At the same time, the seller estimates the cost of expected returned merchandise and debits an account called Estimated Inventory Returns. Refund Liability and Estimated Inventory Returns are balance sheets accounts. Merchandisers that offer their customers a cash discount for prompt payment will determine the probability that a customer will take advantage of the discount and the sales recorded is reduced accordingly. If the customer does not take advantage of the discount, Sales is credited to reflect the additional amount received.

CHAPTER 6 INVENTORY COSTING CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the steps in determining inventory quantities. The steps in determining inventory quantities are (1) taking a physical inventory of goods on hand, and (2) determining the ownership of goods in transit, on consignment, and in similar situations. 2. Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory in a perpetual inventory system using the specific identification, FIFO, and weighted average methods of cost determination. Costs are allocated to the Cost of Goods Sold account each time a sale occurs in a perpetual inventory system. The cost is determined by specific identification or by one of two cost formulas: FIFO (first-in, first-out) and weighted average. Specific identification is used for goods that are not ordinarily interchangeable. This method tracks the actual physical flow of goods, allocating the exact cost of each merchandise item to cost of goods sold and ending inventory. The FIFO cost formula assumes a first-in, first-out cost flow for sales. Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of the earliest goods purchased. Ending inventory is determined by allocating the cost of the most recent purchases to the units on hand. The weighted average cost formula is used for goods that are homogeneous or non-distinguishable. Under weighted average, a new weighted (moving) average unit cost is calculated after each purchase and applied to the number of units sold. Inventory is updated by subtracting cost of goods sold for each sale from the previous ending inventory balance. 3. Explain the financial statement effects of inventory cost determination methods. Specific identification results in the best match of costs and revenues on the income statement. When prices are rising, weighted average results in a higher cost of goods sold and lower profit than FIFO. Weighted average results in a better match on the income statement because it results in an expense amount made up of more current costs. On the balance sheet, FIFO results in an ending inventory that is closest to the current (replacement) value and the best balance sheet valuation. All three methods result in the same cash flow. 4. Determine the financial statement effects of inventory errors. An error in beginning inventory will have a reverse effect on profit in the current year (e.g., an overstatement of beginning inventory results in an overstatement of cost of goods sold and an understatement of profit). An error in the cost of goods purchased will have a reverse effect on profit (e.g., an overstatement of purchases results in an overstatement of cost of goods sold and an understatement of profit). An error in ending inventory will have a similar effect on profit (e.g., an overstatement of ending inventory results in an understatement of cost of goods sold and an overstatement of profit). If ending inventory errors are
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
not corrected in the following period, their effect on profit for the second period is reversed and total profit for the two years will be correct. On the balance sheet, ending inventory errors will have the same effects on total assets and total owner’s equity, and no effect on liabilities. 5. Value inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of the ending inventory is compared with its net realizable value. If the net realizable value is lower, a writedown is recorded, which results in an increase in cost of goods sold, and a reduction in inventory. The writedown is reversed if the net realizable value of the inventory increases, but the value of the inventory can never be higher than its original cost. 6. Demonstrate the presentation and analysis of inventory. Ending inventory is reported as a current asset on the balance sheet at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of goods sold is reported as an expense on the income statement. Additional disclosures include the cost determination method. The inventory turnover ratio is a measure of liquidity. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by average inventory. It can be converted to days sales in inventory by dividing 365 days by the inventory turnover ratio. 7. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold in a periodic inventory system using FIFO and weighted average inventory cost formulas (Appendix 6A). Under the FIFO cost formula, the cost of the most recent goods purchased is allocated to ending inventory. The cost of the earliest goods on hand is allocated to cost of goods sold. Under the weighted average cost formula, the total cost available for sale is divided by the total units available to calculate a weighted average unit cost. The weighted average unit cost is applied to the number of units on hand at the end of the period to determine ending inventory. Cost of goods sold is calculated by subtracting ending inventory from the cost of goods available for sale. The main difference between applying cost formulas in a periodic inventory system and applying cost formulas in a perpetual inventory system is the timing of the calculations. In a periodic inventory system, the cost formula is applied at the end of the period. In a perpetual inventory system, the cost formula is applied at the date of each sale to determine the cost of goods sold. 8. Estimate ending inventory using the gross profit and retail inventory methods (Appendix 6B). Two methods of estimating inventories are the gross profit method and the retail inventory method. Under the gross profit method, the gross profit margin is applied to net sales to determine the estimated cost of goods sold. The estimated cost of goods sold is subtracted from the cost of goods available for sale to determine the estimated cost of the ending inventory. Under the retail inventory method, a cost-to-retail ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods available for sale by the retail value of the goods available for sale. This ratio is then applied to the ending inventory at retail to determine the estimated cost of the ending inventory.

EXERCISES Exercise 1 Woodland Printers uses the perpetual inventory system. On September 30, 2024, the company’s year end, a physical count was taken of the inventory on hand. The cost of the inventory on hand was determined to be $325,400. However, the accountant has questions about the following items: 1. On the store shelves, the staff counted seven paintings held by Woodland on consignment from a local artist. The paintings are included on the inventory count at a cost of $4,200. 2. On September 30, a shipment of goods was sent to a customer, FOB destination. The cost of the goods shipped is $7,800, and freight, which is to be paid by Woodland, will cost $200. These items are not included in the inventory count. Delivery is expected to take three days. 3. On October 2, a freight company delivered goods that cost $10,000 to Woodland’s warehouse. The goods had been shipped by the vendor on September 29, FOB shipping point. Freight on this shipment will amount to $500 and will be paid by the appropriate party. The goods are not included on the inventory count. 4. On September 30, a loyal customer visited Woodland’s retail shop and asked that certain items be set aside for him. The goods set aside have a cost of $1,300. The customer intends to let Woodland know no later than October 2 whether or not he wishes to finalize the sale and have the goods shipped to his home. The freight will cost $50 and will be paid by Woodland. The salesperson was fairly sure the customer will take the items, and so Woodland prepared the sales invoice on September 30. The items are not included on the inventory count. 5. Residing in Woodland’s warehouse is merchandise costing $5,000 that was purchased in September and found to be defective. Woodland’s purchasing manager has arranged with the vendor to accept return of the goods and has packaged them for return shipment. The vendor processed a credit to Woodland’s account on September 28, and has arranged to have the goods picked up on October 1. The items are included on the inventory count.

On April 30, 2024, the company’s year end, a physical count was taken of the inventory on hand in both the warehouse and the retail store area for the purpose of determining cost of goods sold and ending inventory value. The preliminary inventory list prepared by the warehouse manager shows a total inventory on hand of $738,000. The following are items that the warehouse manager noted on a separate sheet. None of these items are currently part of the final inventory listing because the manager was not sure how they should be treated for inventory purposes. 1. On April 30, Stockholm shipped an order to a customer, FOB shipping point. The cost of the goods shipped is $9,650. Freight, which is to be paid by the appropriate party, will cost $375. 2. On April 30, a customer visited Stockholm’s shop and selected a desk that they wanted to purchase and paid for it in full. The sales price of the desk was $3,500, and the cost was $2,200. The customer intends to send a truck to pick up the desk no later than May 2. The freight will cost $50 and will be paid by the customer. A “Sold” sign has been placed on the desk but it is still on display in the store. 3. Residing in Stockholm’s warehouse is furniture costing $21,000 that was purchased in April and needs to be returned. The goods were specially ordered for a customer who has since decided not to buy them after all. Stockholm’s supplier has agreed to accept return of the goods and will allow a full credit on Stockholm’s account as soon as they are received. A freight company is scheduled to pick up the merchandise on the morning of May 1, and so they have been set aside near the loading dock. 4. Stockholm sells some of its merchandise in smaller towns by placing samples on consignment with local hardware stores. The manager noted that 15 desks at a cost of $1,200 each and 30 chairs at $75 each are currently out on consignment. 5. On May 2, a freight company delivered goods that cost $65,000 to Stockholm’s warehouse. The goods had been shipped by the vendor on April 29, FOB destination. Freight on this shipment will amount to $400 and will be paid by the appropriate party. Instructions Calculate the correct inventory balance at April 30, 2024.

Section Reference: Determining Inventory Quantities CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 4 Dark Force Coffee is a sole proprietorship owned by Han Vader. The company is in its second year of operations and only has one coffee blend available in one size. Han does not have any background in accounting and would like your expertise to determine the individual and total impact of the following items on the ending inventory balance for the company’s December 31, 2024, year end. 1. Han keeps all inventory in his basement, which he claims has a total cost of $40,000 (500 units).
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
2. 3.
Of this amount, 50 units costing $3,000 spilled and could not be salvaged or sold. Han has 80 units with a cost of $5,500 loaded in a delivery van ready to be shipped to customers. The terms of these sales are FOB destination. Han has decided to try and sell goods on consignment for the first time. At year end, Han has shipped out 100 units on consignment for a total cost of $7,750. These goods have not yet been sold by the consignee at year end and Han has not received any proceeds.
Solution 4 (10 min.) 1. The damaged goods (50 units) costing $3,000 should not be included in the ending inventory balance. This leaves 450 units with a cost of $37,000 to be included in ending inventory. 2.
The terms FOB destination implies that title to the goods remain with Dark Force until the goods have reached the destination and delivery is complete. All 80 units costing $5,500 should be included in ending inventory.
3.
Legal title to the goods on consignment remains with Dark Force until ultimate sale to the end consumer since the consignee is only acting as an agent to facilitate the sale. As a result, the 100 units costing $7,750 should be included in ending inventory.
Total impact on the December 31, 2024, ending inventory = 450 + 80 + 100 = 630 units; $37,000 + $5,500 + $7,750 = $50,250 Bloomcode: Analysis Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Describe the steps in determining inventory quantities.

Exercise 15 Bulwinkle Company reported the following summarized information at the end of 2024: Sales revenue....................................................................... $1,800,000 Cost of goods sold* .............................................................. 1,200,000 Gross profit .......................................................................... 600,000 Operating expenses ............................................................. 225,000 Profit .................................................................................... $375,000 *Calculated using ending FIFO inventory of $375,000. The controller of the company is considering a switch from FIFO to weighted average and has determined that under weighted average, the ending inventory would have been $225,000. Instructions a) Restate the above summarized information using weighted average. b) What effect, if any, would the proposed change have on Bulwinkle’s profit and cash flows? c) If you were an owner of this business, what would your reaction be to this proposed change? Solution 15 (20 min.) a) Restate to weighted average cost formula: Sales revenue....................................................................... $1,800,000 Cost of goods sold* .............................................................. 1,350,000 Gross profit .......................................................................... 450,000 Operating expenses ............................................................. 225,000 Profit .................................................................................... $ 225,000 *Ending inventory would be $150,000 less ($375,000 – $225,000 = $150,000) under weighted average, thereby increasing cost of goods by $150,000. b)
Switching to the weighted average cost formula would result in $150,000 less profit. Profit is $225,000 under the weighted average cost formula, compared to $375,000 profit reported under FIFO. No impact to cash is caused by his change. The cash impact comes when purchases and sales are made, and not from the choice of cost formula allocating cost of goods available for sale between cost of goods sold and ending inventory.
c)
Reporting more profit may appear to be desirable when reporting the company’s financial results, or when seeking additional financing. On the other hand, reporting less profit reduces the amount of income tax. Nonetheless, a smart reader of these financial results would realize that there is no substantive difference between the financial results when using the two cost formulas. In total, over the life of the inventory, both cost formulas will result in the same financial position. The difference in each year is a timing difference only, resulting only from the method used to allocate the cost of goods available for sale between cost of goods sold and ending inventory. There is no cash impact. Changes to the costing method can only be undertaken if the physical flow of the goods changes.

Section Reference: Inventory Cost Determination Methods Learning Objective: Explain the financial statement effects of inventory cost determination methods. Section Reference: Financial Statement Effects CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 16 Gloria’s Carts reported its cost of goods sold as follows: 2024 2023 $52,000 $38,000 Beginning inventory Cost of goods purchased 390,000 336,000 (69,000) (52,000) Ending inventory $373,000 $322,000 Cost of goods sold The ending inventory in 2023 was overstated by $13,000. Instructions a) Calculate the correct cost of goods sold for both years. b) Describe how the error has affected the financial statements for 2023 and for 2024, and for the two years combined. Solution 16 (10 min.) a) Beginning inventory Cost of goods purchased Ending inventory Cost of goods sold
2024 2023 $39,000 $38,000 390,000 336,000 (69,000) (39,000) $360,000 $335,000
b) The balance sheet for 2023 will have been incorrect, with current assets overstated by $13,000 due to the incorrect inventory amount. This will have resulted in an incorrect working capital ratio. Owner’s equity will also be overstated; if cost of goods sold is too low, then profit and owner’s equity will also be overstated. The profit for 2023 was overstated by $13,000 due to cost of goods sold being calculated incorrectly, while 2024’s profit was understated by the same amount. When both years are added together, the total profit is correct. However, due to the error affecting both years, a greater variability in cost of goods sold and profit has been reported.

2023 $47,000 ÷ $119,000 39.5%
Based on the incorrect figures, inventory turnover appears to have decreased (from 10.31 times to 9.78), while the corrected figures show that inventory turnover has in fact increased (from 14.40 to 15.82), which is an improvement rather than the deterioration shown using the incorrect data. Based on the incorrect figures, the gross profit margin had decreased significantly, dropping by 13.5 percentage points from 2023 to 2024 (43.7% – 30.2%). The gross profit margin has in fact decreased, but only by 8.5 percentage points (39.5% – 31.0%), which is not as great a drop as the incorrect figures suggest. Both of the performance measures when based on incorrect figures would result in a more negative evaluation of management’s performance than is warranted.

Since income had declined so much from 2023 to 2025, Mrs. O’Shea hired an accountant to investigate the cause(s) for the decline. The accountant determined the following: 1. Purchases of $42,000 that occurred in 2023 were not recorded until 2024. 2. The 2023 ending inventory should have been $23,000. 3. The 2024 ending inventory included inventory costing $6,000 that was purchased FOB destination point and was in transit at year end. 4. The 2025 ending inventory did not include goods costing $3,000 that were shipped on December 29 to Otter Plumbing Company, FOB shipping point. The goods were still in transit at the end of the year.

Evaluate the company’s liquidity position for 2025. As part of your analysis, calculate the current ratio, inventory turnover ratio, and days in inventory for the company for 2025 and 2024. Solution 23 (10 min.)
Current ratio Inventory turnover Days in inventory
2025 $87,246 ÷ $33,589 = 2.60:1 $49,761 ÷ [($26,031 + $34,162) ÷ 2] = 1.65 365 ÷ 1.65 = 221

The company’s current ratio has improved, which would indicate that the company is more liquid. However, the company’s inventory turnover has decreased, indicating that it is taking the company longer to sell its inventory, which has resulted in higher inventory balances. This would have a negative impact on the company’s liquidity. Bloomcode: Application Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Demonstrate the presentation and analysis of inventory.

Average inventory
($42,000 + $40,000) ÷ 2 ($40,000 + $37,800) ÷ 2 ($37,800 + $36,000) ÷ 2 = $41,000 = $38,900 = $36,900
Inventory turnover
($325,000 ÷ $41,000) = 7.9
Days sales in inventory (365 ÷ 7.9) = 46.2
($323,400 ÷ $38,900) = 8.3
($316,540 ÷ $36,900) = 8.6
(365 ÷ 8.3) = 44.0
(365 ÷ 8.6) = 42.4
Dahlia’s gross profit margin is increasing year by year, so it appears that management is keeping costs down, or has increased prices sufficiently to cover any increased costs. However, the decreasing inventory turnover (and increased number of days sales in inventory) suggest that management is not doing as well at managing inventory, by allowing it to build up.

To report the highest profit possible, Garcia must use the cost formula that produces the lowest cost of goods sold. When costs are decreasing, this is weighted average. If costs were steadily increasing, FIFO would produce the highest profit. If costs were fluctuating, the choice of cost formulas would not produce a consistently higher or lower profit.

CHAPTER 6 INVENTORY COSTING CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Describe the steps in determining inventory quantities. The steps in determining inventory quantities are (1) taking a physical inventory of goods on hand, and (2) determining the ownership of goods in transit, on consignment, and in similar situations. 2. Calculate cost of goods sold and ending inventory in a perpetual inventory system using the specific identification, FIFO, and weighted average methods of cost determination. Costs are allocated to the Cost of Goods Sold account each time a sale occurs in a perpetual inventory system. The cost is determined by specific identification or by one of two cost formulas: FIFO (first-in, first-out) and weighted average. Specific identification is used for goods that are not ordinarily interchangeable. This method tracks the actual physical flow of goods, allocating the exact cost of each merchandise item to cost of goods sold and ending inventory. The FIFO cost formula assumes a first-in, first-out cost flow for sales. Cost of goods sold consists of the cost of the earliest goods purchased. Ending inventory is determined by allocating the cost of the most recent purchases to the units on hand. The weighted average cost formula is used for goods that are homogeneous or non-distinguishable. Under weighted average, a new weighted (moving) average unit cost is calculated after each purchase and applied to the number of units sold. Inventory is updated by subtracting cost of goods sold for each sale from the previous ending inventory balance. 3. Explain the financial statement effects of inventory cost determination methods. Specific identification results in the best match of costs and revenues on the income statement. When prices are rising, weighted average results in a higher cost of goods sold and lower profit than FIFO. Weighted average results in a better match on the income statement because it results in an expense amount made up of more current costs. On the balance sheet, FIFO results in an ending inventory that is closest to the current (replacement) value and the best balance sheet valuation. All three methods result in the same cash flow. 4. Determine the financial statement effects of inventory errors. An error in beginning inventory will have a reverse effect on profit in the current year (e.g., an overstatement of beginning inventory results in an overstatement of cost of goods sold and an understatement of profit). An error in the cost of goods purchased will have a reverse effect on profit (e.g., an overstatement of purchases results in an overstatement of cost of goods sold and an understatement of profit). An error in ending inventory will have a similar effect on profit (e.g., an overstatement of ending inventory results in an understatement of cost of goods sold and an overstatement of profit). If ending inventory errors are not corrected in the following period, their effect on profit for the second period is reversed and total profit for the two years will be
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
correct. On the balance sheet, ending inventory errors will have the same effects on total assets and total owner’s equity, and no effect on liabilities. 5. Value inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of the ending inventory is compared with its net realizable value. If the net realizable value is lower, a writedown is recorded, which results in an increase in cost of goods sold, and a reduction in inventory. The writedown is reversed if the net realizable value of the inventory increases, but the value of the inventory can never be higher than its original cost. 6. Demonstrate the presentation and analysis of inventory. Ending inventory is reported as a current asset on the balance sheet at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost of goods sold is reported as an expense on the income statement. Additional disclosures include the cost determination method. The inventory turnover ratio is a measure of liquidity. It is calculated by dividing the cost of goods sold by average inventory. It can be converted to days sales in inventory by dividing 365 days by the inventory turnover ratio. 7. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold in a periodic inventory system using FIFO and weighted average inventory cost formulas (Appendix 6A). Under the FIFO cost formula, the cost of the most recent goods purchased is allocated to ending inventory. The cost of the earliest goods on hand is allocated to cost of goods sold. Under the weighted average cost formula, the total cost available for sale is divided by the total units available to calculate a weighted average unit cost. The weighted average unit cost is applied to the number of units on hand at the end of the period to determine ending inventory. Cost of goods sold is calculated by subtracting ending inventory from the cost of goods available for sale. The main difference between applying cost formulas in a periodic inventory system and applying cost formulas in a perpetual inventory system is the timing of the calculations. In a periodic inventory system, the cost formula is applied at the end of the period. In a perpetual inventory system, the cost formula is applied at the date of each sale to determine the cost of goods sold. 8. Estimate ending inventory using the gross profit and retail inventory methods (Appendix 6B). Two methods of estimating inventories are the gross profit method and the retail inventory method. Under the gross prof t method, the gross profit margin is applied to net sales to determine the estimated cost of goods sold. The estimated cost of goods sold is subtracted from the cost of goods available for sale to determine the estimated cost of the ending inventory. Under the retail inventory method, a cost-to-retail ratio is calculated by dividing the cost of goods available for sale by the retail value of the goods available for sale. This ratio is then applied to the ending inventory at retail to determine the estimated cost of the ending inventory.

CHAPTER 7 INTERNAL CONTROL AND CASH CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Define cash and internal control. Cash not only includes coins and paper currency, it may also include cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid (easily sold) investments that are not subject to significant risk of changes in value. Internal control consists of all the related methods and measures that management implements in order to achieve reliable financial reporting, effective and efficient operations, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Control activities include (a) establishment of responsibility, (b) segregation of duties, (c) documentation procedures, (d) physical and IT controls, (e) independent checks of performance, and (f) human resource controls. 2. Apply control activities to cash receipts and cash payments. Internal controls over cash receipts include (a) designating only personnel such as cashiers to handle cash; (b) assigning the duties of handling or receiving cash, and recording cash to different individuals; (c) using remittance advices for mail receipts, cash register tapes (or point-of-sale computerized systems) for over-the-counter receipts, and deposit slips for bank deposits; (d) using company safes and bank vaults to store cash, with only authorized personnel having access, and using cash registers; (e) depositing all cash intact daily; (f) making independent daily counts of register receipts and daily comparisons of total receipts with total deposits; and (g) bonding personnel who handle cash. Debit and credit card transactions increase internal control but have related bank charges. Electronic funds transfer receipts also increase internal control over cash receipts. Internal controls over cash payments include (a) authorizing only specified individuals such as the controller to sign cheques and authorize electronic funds transfer payments; (b) assigning the duties of approving items for payment, paying for the items, and recording the payment to different individuals; (c) using pre-numbered cheques and accounting for all cheques, with each cheque supported by an approved invoice; (d) storing blank cheques and signing machines in a safe or vault, with access restricted to authorized personnel; (e) comparing each cheque with the approved invoice before issuing the cheque and making monthly reconciliations of bank and book balances; and (f) stamping each approved invoice “Paid” after payment. 3. Describe the operation of a petty cash fund. Companies operate a petty cash fund to pay relatively small amounts of cash. They must establish the fund, make payments from the fund, and replenish the fund. Journal entries are made only when the fund is established and replenished. 4. Describe the control features of a bank account and prepare a bank reconciliation. A bank account contributes to good internal control by giving physical and IT controls for the storage of cash,
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
reducing the amount of currency that must be kept on hand, and creating a double record of a depositor’s bank transactions. It is customary to reconcile the balance per books and balance per bank to their adjusted balance. Reconciling items include deposits in transit, outstanding cheques, errors by the bank, unrecorded bank memoranda, and errors by the company. Journal entries must be made for any errors made by the company and unrecorded bank memoranda (e.g., interest). 5. Report cash on the balance sheet. Cash is usually listed first in the current assets section of the balance sheet. Cash may be reported together with highly liquid, very short-term investments called cash equivalents. Cash that is restricted for a special purpose is reported separately as a current asset or a non-current asset, depending on when the cash is expected to be used.

The same person opens incoming mail and posts to the accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. Three people handle cash sales from the same cash register drawer. A clothing store is experiencing a high level of inventory shortages because people try on clothing and walk out of the store without paying for the merchandise. The person who is authorized to sign cheques approves purchase orders for payment. Some cash payments are not recorded because cheques are not pre-numbered. Cash shortages are not discovered because there are no daily cash counts by supervisors. The controller of the company has not taken a vacation for over 20 years.

Exercise 2 Jane Forman has worked for Dr. Robert Raven for several years. Jane demonstrates a loyalty that is rare among employees. She hasn't taken a vacation in the past four years. One of Jane's primary duties at the medical office is to open the mail and list the cheques received. She also takes cash from patients at the cashier window as patients leave. At times it is so hectic that Jane doesn't bother with giving each patient a receipt for the cash paid on their accounts. She assures them she will see to it that they receive the proper credit. When the traffic is slow in the office, Jane offers to help the bookkeeper post the payments to the patients' accounts receivable. She is always happy to receive Jane’s help, because she is a very conscientious worker. Instructions Identify any internal control activities that may be violated in this medical office situation. Solution 2 (10 min.) Violations 1. Although it appears to be a small office, it is not appropriate that Jane opens the mail, receives and records cash receipts from patients, and also appears to have custody of cash. This situation violates the segregation of duties principle. By posting to patients' accounts, it would be possible to post credits to patient accounts and pocket the cash. 2. The documentation principle is violated when patients are not given cash receipts. Although many professional offices do not have cash registers, computerized or manual receipts are customary and necessary. 3. Independent checks of performance are also being violated. There is no independent counting of the cash and comparison to total receipts. 4. Human resource controls are being violated. There is no mention of Jane being bonded. Also, personnel should be required to take vacations. Bloomcode: Analysis Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Define cash and internal control. Section Reference: Cash and Internal Control CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 3 The following situations are independent of each other: 1. A company has two retail outlets, North and South. A separate bank account is maintained for each location. At head office, there are two employees in the accounting department, Stephanie and Nick. Stephanie records all of the accounts payable, issues cheques, and completes the bank reconciliation for the South outlet. Nick completes all of these duties for the North outlet. 2. A law firm has three partners and eight employees who provide legal services to clients, and two administrative staff. When a case is completed, an invoice is supposed to be issued by “whoever has time to do it.” 3. An accounting firm completes many personal tax returns in a very short period of time each April.

In order to speed up the process of updating client personal data (address, contact information, and so on), the firm has placed a computer terminal in the reception area and ask the clients to enter any relevant changes while waiting for their account manager to see them. The terminal is connected to the main server and a user-friendly screen has been developed to guide the client through the data entry process. The screen can access any client’s data simply by typing in the client’s surname. A warehouse operates 24 hours a day. Employees work either an eight- or a twelve-hour shift. Three managers each work an eight-hour shift. Before leaving at the end of their shift, each manager makes a note on a clipboard of which employees were working during that shift. Once a week, someone from payroll gathers all of these notes to use in preparing the hourly employees’ payroll cheques. Marnie is the supervisor of accounting for a small business and has three junior accountants reporting to her. At the end of every day, she reviews her assistants’ work and corrects any errors that she observes. She notices that one employee makes the same types of errors repeatedly and she hopes that she is catching and correcting all of the errors because otherwise the manager’s financial reports will not be reliable.

Section Reference: Cash and Internal Control Learning Objective: Apply control activities to cash receipts and cash payments. Section Reference: Cash Controls CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 5 Polar Bear Used Books sells all of its products by “mail order.” Customers can select their purchases from an online catalogue. Once the books are selected, the customer sends an order in by email, then prints out the email and mails it in with a cheque. For individual customers, Polar Bear does not send out the order until the payment is received. For corporate customers like bookstores, Polar Bear will send out the order with an invoice before payment is received. Occasionally, “walk in” customers will come in to purchase specific books. These customers are expected to pay cash, and the receptionist prepares the invoices and takes the cash for the cash transactions. The following procedures relate to the handling of cash payments from customers: 1. Polar Bear’s mail clerk opens all of the mail, which usually takes the entire day. Orders from customers are placed in one file folder and the cheques received are placed in another file folder. 2. The cheques are delivered to the Accounts Receivable department at the end of the day, and placed in a filing cabinet by Paula, the Accounts Receivable clerk. The file folder of orders is given to the shipping department. 3. The following morning, Paula prepares a bank deposit with all of the cheques received the previous day and gives it to the receptionist to hold in their desk drawer. 4. At the end of the day, the receptionist adds any cash received from “walk in” customers to the deposit and then takes the deposit to the bank on their way home. 5. From a photocopy of the bank deposit slip, Paula prepares a list for the shipping department indicating which customers’ orders have been paid so that they know which orders are cleared for shipping. If the list includes payments from corporate customers, the shipping department ignores this information, assuming the orders have been sent previously.

6. 7.
Working from a photocopy of the bank deposit slip, Paula enters the customer payments in the accounts receivable subledger, and records the cash received in the cash receipts journal. At the end of the month, Paula adds up all of the bank deposit slips, and reconciles this amount to the total cash receipts (per the cash receipts journal) for the month. There is very seldom a difference between the two amounts.
Instructions a) For each procedure, explain one weakness in internal control. b) For each procedure, identify the control activity that is violated. c) For each weakness, recommend an improvement that will increase internal control over cash receipts. Solution 5 (20 min.)

a) Weakness The clerk is not making a list of cheques as the mail is opened for later comparison to amounts deposited. The orders are given to the shipping department without an indication of which are prepaid and which are not. The cheques are kept overnight and placed in an unlocked drawer.
b) Control Documentation
c) Recommendation The mail clerk should not just put the cheques in a folder, but should also make a list of cheques received.
Documentation
The mail clerk should note on each order whether or not it was paid before the orders go to the shipping department.
Physical and IT controls
Paula makes up the deposit from the cheques in the folder without an independent source (such as the list described in #1) to verify that all the cheques received have been accounted for. The receptionist holds the deposit plus any cash from cash sales at their workstation which is in a publicly open area. The receptionist makes cash sales and deposits with no other person involved in recording the transaction.
Documentation/ segregation of duties
The cheques should be deposited the same day they are received. If this is not possible, they should be placed in a safe or securely locked location. The total amount of the deposit should be agreed to an independent source of information so that there is documentation to show that all cheques received have been deposited.
Physical and IT controls
Segregation of duties
Until it is taken to the bank, the deposit and any additional cash should be stored in a more secure area (for example, a safe or locked drawer) that is not in a public area such as reception. Someone other than the person making the deposit (the receptionist) should handle the sale and invoicing for cash sales.

7.
a) Weakness The receptionist may not be bonded, and they take the deposit including both cheques and cash to the bank without security. Paula makes up the list for the shipping department from the deposit slip, which may not be accurate since it has not been verified against independently prepared information. The shipping department receives information that may or may not be relevant (the names of payees for orders already shipped) and ignores it. Paula has too much overlapping responsibility for handling cash, recording customer sales, and recording customer deposits.
b) Control Physical and IT controls
c) Recommendation Recommend hiring a bonded courier to deliver the deposit to the bank.
Segregation of duties
If Paula makes up the deposit, the amount should be agreed to an independently prepared list.
Documentation/ establishment of responsibility
The shipping department should be notified which customers have prepaid and which have not so they do not have to guess and risk releasing orders that should be held for payment.
Segregation of duties
Since the cash receipts ledger was prepared by looking at the deposit slip, reconciling the two lists to each other does not provide verification.
Documentation
The credits to the customer accounts should be recorded from the list prepared at the time of receipt (e.g., by the mail clerk) and by someone other than the person who prepares the deposit. If Paula is to record customer credits, then someone else (perhaps the receptionist) should prepare the deposit. The cash receipts journal, if prepared from looking at the deposit slips, should be reconciled to an independent cash listing, not to the same source on which it was based.

Exercise 6 The following are internal control procedures in place over cash payments at Harts Music Supplies. 1. Cheques are signed using an automated cheque signing machine. The machine is stored in a safe that requires two keys to open it. The Controller and Vice-President of Finance each have custody of one of the keys. 2. Only original vendor invoices with unique invoice numbers are approved for payment. Faxes and photocopies are not acceptable, and if a vendor sends two invoices with the same number, they are returned and the vendor is asked to re-issue one of them with a different invoice number. 3. The Purchasing Manager is authorized to approve purchase orders, the Receiving Manager approves invoices after matching them to receiving reports, an Accounts Payable assistant records the purchase invoices, the Accounts Payable manager prepares cheques, and the VicePresident Finance signs them. 4. The computer system produces a log showing how many errors have been made and corrected by each Accounting Assistant in recording vendor invoices. Instructions For each internal control, identify which type of control is described, and describe a weakness that the control is designed to prevent or detect. Solution 6 (10 min.) 1. Physical and IT controls. Without the dual keys, one of the parties could issue and sign unauthorized cheques. 2. Documentation. Without this control, there is a risk that vendor invoices might be paid more than once. Even if the original invoice was stamped “Paid,” the fax or photocopy might be paid without this control. 3. Segregation of duties.

Bloomcode: Application Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Apply control activities to cash receipts and cash payments. Section Reference: Cash Controls CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 8 The following situations are independent of each other: 1. Jim’s Electronic Games is a very relaxed place to work. Unissued blank cheques are left in a box on the floor near the printer. 2. XL Products requires every cheque to be signed by the President and the Vice-President of Finance. Because the President travels a lot, she signs several blank cheques in advance of each trip so that the absences will not interfere with the operations of the Accounts Payable department. 3. Dubois Books is short-staffed and the accounting department is very busy. As soon as the cheques are printed, they are sent to the Executive office to be signed while the invoices that were paid are immediately filed so that the work will not get backlogged. 4. At Nora Sales, two accounting clerks share cheque disbursement duties. They can tell which invoices have been paid by whether they are located in the “unpaid” basket or in the vendor file. Instructions For each weakness, describe what could go wrong and make a recommendation to improve internal
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
control. Solution 8 (10 min.) 1. Cheque blanks could be stolen, lost, or damaged. Recommendation: Store the cheque blanks in a locked safe and restrict access to authorized personnel. 2. The purpose of requiring dual authorized signatures is defeated by pre-signing blank cheques. The Vice-President of Finance might sign unauthorized cheques. Recommendation: Identify someone other than the President who can be authorized as an alternative cheque signatory. 3. The cheque being signed may be different than the invoice being paid. Recommendation: Attach the invoices to the cheque so that the signer can verify that the payment is valid and accurate. 4. If the invoices are filed in the wrong folder or are removed for any reason, there is a risk they could be paid a second time. Recommendation: Stamp the invoices as “Paid” when the cheques are issued and before they are filed. Bloomcode: Evaluation Difficulty: Hard Learning Objective: Apply control activities to cash receipts and cash payments. Section Reference: Cash Controls CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 9 The following procedures are used by Pinetree Renovations in handling cash payments. The individuals involved in the cheque preparation and payment process are Rudy, the Accounts Payable clerk, who reports to the Controller, and Crystal, the Construction Manager. 1. When purchase invoices are received, Crystal approves them for payment. After they are approved, Rudy records the purchase invoices in the Accounts Payable subledger and then files them in an “unpaid invoices” file. Once or twice a week, Rudy scans through the file and decides which invoices should be paid. 2. Rudy prepares the cheques manually. He enters cheque numbers on the cheques that are not pre-numbered. 3. The unsigned cheques are put into Crystal’s in-box to be signed. 4. Crystal does not feel she needs to see the invoices again when she signs the cheques so only the cheques are given to her. 5. Crystal is often out of the office on construction projects, but she tries to make sure that she signs the cheques within two or three days. 6. After she has signed the cheques, Crystal returns them to Rudy for mailing. After Rudy has mailed the cheques, he files the paid invoices in the vendor invoice files. Instructions For each procedure, describe what could go wrong as a result of the weakness described, and recommend an internal control to correct the weakness. Solution 9 (20 min.) 1. The same person who records the cheques (Rudy) should not be the person who decides which

suppliers are to be paid. Rudy could overlook important suppliers who should be paid, or prepare cheques earlier than is necessary. Recommendation: On a regular basis, Rudy should prepare a list of invoices due for payment and obtain controller approval before preparing the cheques. Because the cheques are not pre-numbered, it would be difficult to notice if any cheque blanks go missing. Recommendation: Use pre-numbered cheques and store them in a locked location. The same person signs cheques and makes purchases. Therefore, she could be making special deals with suppliers and no one would notice. Recommendation: Identify someone else in management to sign the cheques. If there were differences between the invoice and the cheque, Crystal would not notice. Recommendation: The invoices should be attached to the cheques so that the person signing them can verify that amounts are correct. Because the cheques are left unattended in Crystal’s in-box, they could be tampered with. Recommendation: Keep the unsigned cheques in a secure location until the person is available to sign them. Because Rudy files the invoices without marking them “paid,” there is a risk of duplicate payment. Recommendation: The invoices should be stamped “paid” and the cheque number noted on the invoice to prevent duplicate payments.

CHAPTER 7 INTERNAL CONTROL AND CASH CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Define cash and internal control. Cash not only includes coins and paper currency, it may also include cash equivalents. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid (easily sold) investments that are not subject to significant risk of changes in value. Internal control consists of all the related methods and measures that management implements in order to achieve reliable financial reporting, effective and efficient operations, and compliance with relevant laws and regulations. Control activities include (a) establishment of responsibility, (b) segregation of duties, (c) documentation procedures, (d) physical and IT controls, (e) independent checks of performance, and (f) human resource controls. 2. Apply control activities to cash receipts and cash payments. Internal controls over cash receipts include (a) designating only personnel such as cashiers to handle cash; (b) assigning the duties of handling or receiving cash, and recording cash to different individuals; (c) using remittance advices for mail receipts, cash register tapes (or point-of-sale computerized systems) for over-the-counter receipts, and deposit slips for bank deposits; (d) using company safes and bank vaults to store cash, with only authorized personnel having access, and using cash registers; (e) depositing all cash intact daily; (f) making independent daily counts of register receipts and daily comparisons of total receipts with total deposits; and (g) bonding personnel who handle cash. Debit and credit card transactions increase internal control but have related bank charges. Electronic funds transfer receipts also increase internal control over cash receipts. Internal controls over cash payments include (a) authorizing only specified individuals such as the controller to sign cheques and authorize electronic funds transfer payments; (b) assigning the duties of approving items for payment, paying for the items, and recording the payment to different individuals; (c) using pre-numbered cheques and accounting for all cheques, with each cheque supported by an approved invoice; (d) storing blank cheques and signing machines in a safe or vault, with access restricted to authorized personnel; (e) comparing each cheque with the approved invoice before issuing the cheque and making monthly reconciliations of bank and book balances; and (f) stamping each approved invoice “Paid” after payment. 3. Describe the operation of a petty cash fund. Companies operate a petty cash fund to pay relatively small amounts of cash. They must establish the fund, make payments from the fund, and replenish the fund. Journal entries are made only when the fund is established and replenished. 4. Describe the control features of a bank account and prepare a bank reconciliation. A bank account contributes to good internal control by giving physical and IT controls for the storage of cash,
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
reducing the amount of currency that must be kept on hand, and creating a double record of a depositor’s bank transactions. It is customary to reconcile the balance per books and balance per bank to their adjusted balance. Reconciling items include deposits in transit, outstanding cheques, errors by the bank, unrecorded bank memoranda, and errors by the company. Journal entries must be made for any errors made by the company and unrecorded bank memoranda (e.g., interest). 5. Report cash on the balance sheet. Cash is usually listed first in the current assets section of the balance sheet. Cash may be reported together with highly liquid, very short-term investments called cash equivalents. Cash that is restricted for a special purpose is reported separately as a current asset or a non-current asset, depending on when the cash is expected to be used.

CHAPTER 8 ACCOUNTING FOR RECEIVABLES
CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Prepare journal entries for accounts receivable transactions. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice price. Their amounts are reduced by sales returns and allowances and sales discounts. Accounts receivable subsidiary ledgers are used to keep track of individual account balances. When interest is charged on a past-due receivable, this interest is added to the accounts receivable balance and is recognized as interest revenue. Some retailers issue their own credit cards and these are accounted for as a type of accounts receivable transaction. 2. Demonstrate how to value accounts receivable and prepare adjusting entries for uncollectible accounts. Accounts receivable must be reported at their carrying amount on the balance sheet. The allowance method is used to record the estimated uncollectible accounts in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The carrying amount of the receivables is equal to the gross accounts receivable minus the allowance. The percentage of receivables approach is commonly used to estimate uncollectible accounts. The percentage of receivables approach emphasizes determining the correct carrying amount of the accounts receivable. An aging schedule is usually used with the percentage of receivables approach where percentages are applied to different categories of accounts receivable to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts. The percentage of sales approach may be used to estimate uncollectible accounts for interim periods (e.g., monthly). It emphasizes achieving the most accurate matching of expenses to revenues. A percentage is applied to credit sales to determine the bad debt expense. When a specific account receivable is determined to be uncollectible, the account is written off and the allowance is reduced. When a previously written-off account is collected, the entry previously made to write off the account is reversed and the collection is recorded. 3. Prepare journal entries for notes receivable transactions. Notes receivable are recorded at their principal amount. Interest is earned from the date the note is issued until it matures and must be recorded in the correct accounting period. Interest receivable is recorded in a separate account from the note. Like accounts receivable, notes receivable are reported at their carrying amount. Notes are normally held to maturity. At that time, the principal plus any unpaid interest is due and the note is removed from the accounts. If a note is not paid at maturity, it is said to be dishonoured. If eventual collection is still expected, an account receivable replaces the note receivable and any unpaid interest. Otherwise, the note must be written off. 4. Demonstrate the presentation, analysis, and management of receivables. Each major type of receivable should be identified on the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements. Both the gross amount of receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts/notes are required to be
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
reported on the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements. Bad debt expense is reported in the income statement as an operating expense. The liquidity of receivables can be evaluated by calculating the receivables turnover and collection period ratios. The receivables turnover is calculated by dividing net credit sales by average gross accounts receivable. This ratio measures how efficiently the company is converting its credit sales into cash. The collection period converts the receivables turnover into days, dividing 365 days by the receivables turnover ratio. It shows the number of days, on average, it takes a company to collect its accounts receivable. The combination of the collection period and days sales in inventory is a useful way to measure the length of a company’s operating cycle. Companies may accelerate the collection of cash by using the receivables to secure a loan or by selling the receivables.

CHAPTER 8 ACCOUNTING FOR RECEIVABLES CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Prepare journal entries for accounts receivable transactions. Accounts receivable are recorded at the invoice price. Their amounts are reduced by sales returns and allowances and sales discounts. Accounts receivable subsidiary ledgers are used to keep track of individual account balances. When interest is charged on a past-due receivable, this interest is added to the accounts receivable balance and is recognized as interest revenue. Some retailers issue their own credit cards and these are accounted for as a type of accounts receivable transaction. 2. Demonstrate how to value accounts receivable and prepare adjusting entries for uncollectible accounts. Accounts receivable must be reported at their carrying amount on the balance sheet. The allowance method is used to record the estimated uncollectible accounts in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The carrying amount of the receivables is equal to the gross accounts receivable minus the allowance. The percentage of receivables approach is commonly used to estimate uncollectible accounts. The percentage of receivables approach emphasizes determining the correct carrying amount of the accounts receivable. An aging schedule is usually used with the percentage of receivables approach where percentages are applied to different categories of accounts receivable to determine the allowance for doubtful accounts. The percentage of sales approach may be used to estimate uncollectible accounts for interim periods (e.g., monthly). It emphasizes achieving the most accurate matching of expenses to revenues. A percentage is applied to credit sales to determine the bad debt expense. When a specific account receivable is determined to be uncollectible, the account is written off and the allowance is reduced. When a previously written-off account is collected, the entry previously made to write off the account is reversed and the collection is recorded. 3. Prepare journal entries for notes receivable transactions. Notes receivable are recorded at their principal amount. Interest is earned from the date the note is issued until it matures and must be recorded in the correct accounting period. Interest receivable is recorded in a separate account from the note. Like accounts receivable, notes receivable are reported at their carrying amount. Notes are normally held to maturity. At that time, the principal plus any unpaid interest is due and the note is removed from the accounts. If a note is not paid at maturity, it is said to be dishonoured. If eventual collection is still expected, an account receivable replaces the note receivable and any unpaid interest. Otherwise, the note must be written off. 4. Demonstrate the presentation, analysis, and management of receivables. Each major type of receivable should be identified on the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements. Both the gross amount of receivables and the allowance for doubtful accounts/notes are required to be
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
reported on the balance sheet or in the notes to the financial statements. Bad debt expense is reported in the income statement as an operating expense. The liquidity of receivables can be evaluated by calculating the receivables turnover and collection period ratios. The receivables turnover is calculated by dividing net credit sales by average gross accounts receivable. This ratio measures how efficiently the company is converting its credit sales into cash. The collection period converts the receivables turnover into days, dividing 365 days by the receivables turnover ratio. It shows the number of days, on average, it takes a company to collect its accounts receivable. The combination of the collection period and days sales in inventory is a useful way to measure the length of a company’s operating cycle. Companies may accelerate the collection of cash by using the receivables to secure a loan or by selling the receivables.

CHAPTER 9 LONG-LIVED ASSETS CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Calculate the cost of property, plant, and equipment. The cost of property, plant, and equipment includes all costs that are necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use. All costs that benefit future periods (that is, capital expenditures) are included in the cost of the asset. When applicable, cost also includes asset retirement costs. When multiple assets are purchased in one transaction, or when an asset has significant components, the cost is allocated to each individual asset or component using their relative fair values. 2. Apply depreciation methods to property, plant, and equipment. After acquisition, assets are accounted for using the cost model or the revaluation model. Depreciation is recorded and assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a long-lived asset to expense over its useful life (its service life) in a rational and systematic way. Depreciation is not a process of valuation and it does not result in an accumulation of cash. There are three commonly used depreciation methods: Method Straight-line
Effect on Annual Depreciation Constant amount
Diminishingbalance
Diminishing amount
Carrying amount at beginning of year × diminishing-balance rate
Units-ofproduction
Varying amount
(Cost − residual value) ÷ total estimated units-ofproduction × actual activity during the year
Calculation (Cost − residual value) ÷ estimated useful life (in years)
Each method results in the same amount of depreciation over the asset’s useful life. Depreciation expense for income tax purposes is called capital cost allowance (CCA). 3. Explain the factors that cause changes in periodic depreciation and calculate revised depreciation for property, plant, and equipment. A revision to depreciation will be required if there are (a) capital expenditures during the asset’s useful life; (b) impairments in the asset’s fair value; (c) changes in the asset’s fair value when using the revaluation model; and/or (d) changes in the
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
appropriate depreciation method, estimated useful life, or residual value. An impairment loss must be recorded if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Revisions of periodic depreciation are made in present and future periods, not retroactively. The new annual depreciation is determined by using the depreciable amount (carrying amount less the revised residual value), and the remaining useful life, at the time of the revision. 4. Demonstrate how to account for property, plant, and equipment disposals. The accounting for the disposal of a piece of property, plant, or equipment through retirement or sale is as follows: (a) Update any unrecorded depreciation for partial periods since depreciation was last recorded. (b) Calculate the carrying amount (cost – accumulated depreciation). (c) Calculate any gain (proceeds > carrying amount) or loss (proceeds < carrying amount) on disposal. (d) Remove the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts at the date of disposal. Record the proceeds received and the gain or loss, if any. An exchange of assets is recorded as the purchase of a new asset and the sale of an old asset. The new asset is recorded at the fair value of the asset given up plus any cash paid (or less any cash received). The fair value of the asset given up is compared with its carrying amount to calculate the gain or loss. If the fair value of the new asset or the asset given up cannot be determined, the new long-lived asset is recorded at the carrying amount of the old asset that was given up, plus any cash paid (or less any cash received). 5. Record natural resource transactions and calculate depletion. The units-of-production method of depreciation is generally used for natural resources. The depreciable amount per unit is calculated by dividing the total depreciable amount by the number of units estimated to be in the resource. The depreciable amount per unit is multiplied by the number of units that have been extracted to determine the annual depletion. The depletion and any other costs to extract the resource are recorded as inventory until the resource is sold. At that time, the costs are transferred to cost of resource sold on the income statement. Revisions to depletion will be required for capital expenditures during the asset’s useful life, for impairments, and for changes in the total estimated units of the resource. 6. Identify the basic accounting issues for intangible assets and goodwill. The accounting for tangible and intangible assets is much the same. Intangible assets are reported at cost, which includes all expenditures necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use. An intangible asset with a finite life is amortized over the shorter of its useful life and legal life, usually on a straight-line basis. The extent of the annual impairment tests depends on whether IFRS or ASPE is followed and whether the intangible asset had a finite or indefinite life. Intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill are not amortized and are tested at least annually for impairment. Impairment losses on goodwill are never reversed under both IFRS and ASPE. 7. Illustrate the reporting and analysis of long-lived assets. It is common for property, plant, and equipment, and natural resources to be combined in financial statements under the heading “property, plant, and equipment.” Intangible assets with finite and indefinite lives are sometimes
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
combined under the heading “intangible assets” or are listed separately. Goodwill must be presented separately. Either on the balance sheet or in the notes, the cost of the major classes of long-lived assets is presented. Accumulated depreciation (if the asset is depreciable) and carrying amount must be disclosed either on the balance sheet or in the notes. The depreciation and amortization methods and rates, as well as the annual depreciation expense, must also be indicated. The company’s impairment policy and any impairment losses should be described and reported. Under IFRS, companies must include a reconciliation of the carrying amount at the beginning and end of the period for each class of long-lived assets and state whether the cost or revaluation model is used. The asset turnover ratio (net sales ÷ average total assets) is one measure that is used by companies to show how efficiently they are using their assets to generate sales revenue. A second ratio, return on assets (profit ÷ average total assets), calculates how profitable the company is in terms of using its assets to generate profit.

The automobiles are rented out on a short-term basis with rental fees calculated based on distance driven by the customer. Stan’s policy is to sell and replace a car after the earlier of three years, or 75,000 kilometres. The average selling price of the used cars is $8,000. This particular car was driven 8,000 km in 2024, 39,000 km in 2025, and 21,000 km in 2026. Instructions a) Calculate 2024 and 2025 depreciation expense under each of the following methods (round all amounts to the nearest dollar): (i) Straight-line (ii) Diminishing-balance using a 40% rate (iii) Units-of-production b) Which method will best match the estimated pattern in which the asset’s economic benefits are expected to be consumed? Explain. Solution 16 (10 min.) a)
2024 (i) ($30,000 – $8,000) ÷ 3 x 3/12 = $1,833 (ii) ($30,000 x 40%) x 3/12 = $3,000 (iii) ($30,000 – $8,000) ÷ 75,000 km x 8,000 km = $2,347
2025 ($30,000 – $8,000) ÷ 3 = $7,333 ($30,000 – $3,000) x 40% = $10,800 ($30,000 – $8,000) ÷ 75,000 km x 39,000 km = $11,440

The laser has a useful life of four years and the clinic expects to use it 10,000 hours. It was used 1,600 hours in Year 1; 2,100 hours in Year 2; 3,400 hours in Year 3; 2,900 hours in Year 4. Instructions a) Calculate the annual depreciation for each of the four years under each of the following methods: i) straight-line ii) units-of-production b) If you were the administrator of the clinic, which method would you deem as most appropriate? Justify your answer. c) Which method would result in the lowest reported profit in the first year? Which method would result in the lowest total reported profit over the four-year period? d) Which method would result in the lowest cash flow in Year 1? Over the life of the asset?

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
b)
The units-of-production method can be justified based on the variable usage the laser will receive during its useful life.
c)
The straight-line method provides the highest depreciation expense for the first year, and therefore the lowest first year profit. Over the four-year period, both methods result in the same total depreciation expense ($67,500) and, therefore, the same total profit.
d)
Both methods will result in the same cash flow in Year 1 and over the life of the asset. Recording depreciation expense does not affect cash flow. There is no Cash account involved in the entry to record depreciation (Dr. Depreciation Expense; Cr. Accumulated Depreciation). It is only an allocation of the capital cost to expense over an asset’s useful life.

Section Reference: Revising Periodic Depreciation CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 27 Harrison Rentals purchased an apartment building in January 2016. At the time, the building was expected to have a useful life of 25 years with a residual value of $100,000, during which time it was projected to generate annual rentals of $30,000). The building’s original cost was $500,000. At January 1, 2024, the accumulated depreciation balance on this building was $128,000, and 2024 depreciation has been recorded as $16,000. Harrison has a December 31 year end. During December 2024 Harrison had the following events and transactions related to the building. All transactions are for cash. 1. Painted all the walls in the common areas at a cost of $8,000. 2. Replaced the electrical wiring in three suites due to safety concerns at a cost of $4,500. 3. Replaced all of the linoleum flooring in the suites with hardwood, installed in-suite laundry facilities in each unit, and made other improvements at total cost of $120,000. As a result, the annual rental revenue has been doubled. 4. Completed structural repairs to the building at a cost of $100,000. As a result of this work the building life is expected to be 10 years longer than the original estimate. The residual value estimate has been revised to $134,000. Instructions a) Calculate the carrying amount of the building on December 31, 2024.

Bloomcode: Application Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Demonstrate how to account for property, plant, and equipment disposals. Section Reference: Disposal of Property, Plant, and Equipment CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 34 On January 1, 2024, Jelly Stone Industries invested $2,000,000 in land that includes a stand of timber and the rights to cut the timber. The property is expected to yield 50,000 cubic metres of timber. After the amount of lumber permitted by law has been cut, Jelly Stone expects to be able to sell the land for $400,000 less $150,000 that must be spent on reforestation. Jelly Stone invested a further $300,000 in equipment that is expected to last for the same number of units as the property yields, with no residual value. Instructions a) Using the units-of-production method, calculate depletion/depreciation for 2024 on both the timber investment and for the equipment, assuming that 12,000 cubic metres are sawn in the year. b) Explain why the units-of-production method is considered the most appropriate method for depletion of natural resources. Solution 34 (10 min.) a) Depletion of timber: ($2,000,000 – [$400,000 – $150,000]) ÷ 50,000 = $35 per cubic metre; $35 x 12,000 = $420,000 Depreciation of equipment: $300,000 ÷ 50,000 = $6 per cubic metre; $6 x 12,000 = $72,000 b)
The units-of-production method is considered appropriate because the cost of the asset is matched exactly with the asset being physically used up. This will also result in a good matching of expenses with revenues, which are also determined on a per-unit basis.

Lui Company is spending considerable time and money in developing a different patent for another product. So far, $3,000,000 has been spent this year on research. Lui Company is very confident it will obtain this patent in the next few years.
Instructions Briefly explain whether the expenditures listed above should be recorded as an operating expense or as an intangible asset. If you view the expenditure as an intangible asset, indicate whether the asset should be amortized or not, and if so, the number of years over which it should be amortized. Explain your answer. Solution 39 (10 min.) 1. Operating expense. Only successful patent defence costs can be capitalized. 2.
Intangible asset. Trademarks are renewable. Since Lui Company expects to use the trademark indefinitely, no amortization is recorded.
3.
Intangible asset. The patent cost of $2,000,000 should be amortized over its expected remaining useful life of five years since this is shorter than the remaining legal life of 15 years.
4.
Operating expense. Research costs should be expensed when incurred.

AACSB: Analytic Exercise 43 The following information is available from the audited financial statements of Molson Coors Brewing Company and Big Rock Breweries Income Trust for their year ends. Molson/Coors Big Rock Breweries (in millions of US dollars) (in thousands of Cdn. dollars) Net revenue $ 5,844 $ 38,701 Profit 373 8,380 Total assets, ending 11,603 42,170 Total assets, beginning 11,799 41,786 Instructions a) Calculate both companies’ asset turnover and return on assets. Round to two decimal places. b) Compare the companies’ effectiveness in using their assets to produce revenue and profit. Solution 43 (10 min.) a) Molson/Coors Big Rock $5,844 ÷ [($11,603 + $11,799) ÷2] $38,701 ÷ [($42,170 + $41,786) ÷2] = 0.50 times = 0.92 times Return on assets $373 ÷ [($11,603 + $11,799) ÷2] $8,380 ÷ [($42,170 + $41,786) ÷2] = 3.19% = 19.96% Asset turnover
b)
Big Rock’s performance in asset management is better when measured by either of the two ratios. This suggests that Big Rock is more effective in using its assets to generate revenue and profit even though it is a smaller company.

Exercise 46 Net sales were $1,500,000 and profit was $250,000 in the second year of operation for Tirekicker’s Used Car Company. Total assets in the first year were $800,000 and in the second year $1,200,000. Instructions a) Determine the asset turnover and the return on assets for Tirekicker’s Used Car Company. b) What do these ratios show? Solution 46 (5 min.) a)
Asset turnover = Net sales ÷ Average assets = $1,500,000 ÷ [($800,000 + $1,200,000) ÷ 2)] = 1.5 times Return on assets = Profit ÷ Average assets = $250,000 ÷ [($800,000 + $1,200,000) ÷ 2)] = 25%
b)
The asset turnover ratio shows how efficiently a company uses its assets to generate sales revenue. The return on assets ratio shows the profitability of assets used in the earning process.

Instructions a) Calculate the 2025 and 2024 asset turnover and return on assets. b) Briefly interpret the results of each ratio examined in part a). Solution 47 (10 min.) a) 2025 asset turnover = ($2,037,210 – $14,521) ÷ [($14,110,500 + $12,083,700) ÷ 2] = 0.15

Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
2024 asset turnover = ($2,097,100 – $17,554) ÷ [($12,083,700 + $10,669,900) ÷ 2] = 0.18 2025 return on assets = ($2,037,210 – $14,521 – $875,770)/[($14,110,500 + $12,083,700) ÷ 2] = 0.09 2024 return on assets = ($2,097,100 – $17,554 – $890,425)/[($12,083,700 + $10,669,900) ÷ 2] = 0.10 b)
The asset turnover ratio suggests that for each dollar that Wasp has invested in assets, it produced $0.15 (2025) and $0.18 (2024) in sales. This demonstrates a declining trend that should be closely compared to the industry average. The return on assets ratio suggests that Wasp generated profits of 9% (2025) and 10% (2024) for every dollar invested in assets. This demonstrates a declining trend that should be closely compared to the industry average.

CHAPTER 9 LONG-LIVED ASSETS CHAPTER STUDY OBJECTIVES 1. Calculate the cost of property, plant, and equipment. The cost of property, plant, and equipment includes all costs that are necessary to acquire the asset and make it ready for its intended use. All costs that benefit future periods (that is, capital expenditures) are included in the cost of the asset. When applicable, cost also includes asset retirement costs. When multiple assets are purchased in one transaction, or when an asset has significant components, the cost is allocated to each individual asset or component using their relative fair values. 2. Apply depreciation methods to property, plant, and equipment. After acquisition, assets are accounted for using the cost model or the revaluation model. Depreciation is recorded and assets are carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is the allocation of the cost of a long-lived asset to expense over its useful life (its service life) in a rational and systematic way. Depreciation is not a process of valuation and it does not result in an accumulation of cash. There are three commonly used depreciation methods: Effect on Annual Method Depreciation Calculation Straight-line Constant amount (Cost − residual value) ÷ estimated useful life (in years) Diminishingbalance
Diminishing amount
Carrying amount at beginning of year × diminishing-balance rate
Units-ofproduction
Varying amount
(Cost − residual value) ÷ total estimated units-ofproduction × actual activity during the year
Each method results in the same amount of depreciation over the asset’s useful life. Depreciation expense for income tax purposes is called capital cost allowance (CCA). 3. Explain the factors that cause changes in periodic depreciation and calculate revised depreciation for property, plant, and equipment. A revision to depreciation will be required if there are (a) capital expenditures during the asset’s useful life; (b) impairments in the asset’s fair value; (c) changes in the asset’s fair value when using the revaluation model; and/or (d) changes in the appropriate depreciation method, estimated useful life, or residual value. An impairment loss must be
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
recorded if the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount. Revisions of periodic depreciation are made in present and future periods, not retroactively. The new annual depreciation is determined by using the depreciable amount (carrying amount less the revised residual value), and the remaining useful life, at the time of the revision. 4. Demonstrate how to account for property, plant, and equipment disposals. The accounting for the disposal of a piece of property, plant, or equipment through retirement or sale is as follows: (a) Update any unrecorded depreciation for partial periods since depreciation was last recorded. (b) Calculate the carrying amount (cost – accumulated depreciation). (c) Calculate any gain (proceeds > carrying amount) or loss (proceeds < carrying amount) on disposal. (d) Remove the asset and accumulated depreciation accounts at the date of disposal. Record the proceeds received and the gain or loss, if any. An exchange of assets is recorded as the purchase of a new asset and the sale of an old asset. The new asset is recorded at the fair value of the asset given up plus any cash paid (or less any cash received). The fair value of the asset given up is compared with its carrying amount to calculate the gain or loss. If the fair value of the new asset or the asset given up cannot be determined, the new long-lived asset is recorded at the carrying amount of the old asset that was given up, plus any cash paid (or less any cash received). 5. Record natural resource transactions and calculate depletion. The units-of-production method of depreciation is generally used for natural resources. The depreciable amount per unit is calculated by dividing the total depreciable amount by the number of units estimated to be in the resource. The depreciable amount per unit is multiplied by the number of units that have been extracted to determine the annual depletion. The depletion and any other costs to extract the resource are recorded as inventory until the resource is sold. At that time, the costs are transferred to cost of resource sold on the income statement. Revisions to depletion will be required for capital expenditures during the asset’s useful life, for impairments, and for changes in the total estimated units of the resource. 6. Identify the basic accounting issues for intangible assets and goodwill. The accounting for tangible and intangible assets is much the same. Intangible assets are reported at cost, which includes all expenditures necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use. An intangible asset with a finite life is amortized over the shorter of its useful life and legal life, usually on a straight-line basis. The extent of the annual impairment tests depends on whether IFRS or ASPE is followed and whether the intangible asset had a finite or indefinite life. Intangible assets with indefinite lives and goodwill are not amortized and are tested at least annually for impairment. Impairment losses on goodwill are never reversed under both IFRS and ASPE. 7. Illustrate the reporting and analysis of long-lived assets. It is common for property, plant, and equipment, and natural resources to be combined in financial statements under the heading “property, plant, and equipment.” Intangible assets with finite and indefinite lives are sometimes combined under the heading “intangible assets” or are listed separately. Goodwill must be presented
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
separately. Either on the balance sheet or in the notes, the cost of the major classes of long-lived assets is presented. Accumulated depreciation (if the asset is depreciable) and carrying amount must be disclosed either on the balance sheet or in the notes. The depreciation and amortization methods and rates, as well as the annual depreciation expense, must also be indicated. The company’s impairment policy and any impairment losses should be described and reported. Under IFRS, companies must include a reconciliation of the carrying amount at the beginning and end of the period for each class of long-lived assets and state whether the cost or revaluation model is used. The asset turnover ratio (net sales ÷ average total assets) is one measure that is used by companies to show how efficiently they are using their assets to generate sales revenue. A second ratio, return on assets (profit ÷ average total assets), calculates how profitable the company is in terms of using its assets to generate profit.

CHAPTER 10 CURRENT LIABILITIES AND PAYROLL CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.
Account for certain current liabilities. Liabilities are present obligations arising from past events, to make future payments of assets or services. Certain liabilities have certainty about their existence, amount, and timing—in other words, they have a known amount, payee, and due date. Examples of certain current liabilities include accounts payable, unearned revenues, operating lines of credit, notes payable, sales taxes, current maturities of long-term debt, and accrued liabilities such as property taxes, payroll, and interest.
2.
Account for uncertain liabilities. Estimated liabilities exist, but their amount or timing is uncertain. As long as it is likely the company will have to settle the obligation, and the company can reasonably estimate the amount, the liability is recognized. Product warranties, customer loyalty programs, and gift cards result in liabilities that must be estimated. They are recorded as an expense (or as a decrease in revenue) and a liability in the period when the sales occur. These liabilities are reduced when repairs under warranty, redemptions, and returns occur. Gift cards are a type of unearned revenue because they result in a liability until the gift card is redeemed. Because some cards are never redeemed, it is necessary to estimate the liability and make adjustments. A contingency is an existing condition or situation that is uncertain, where it cannot be known if a loss (and a related liability) will result until a future event happens or does not happen. Under ASPE, a liability for a contingent loss is recorded if it is likely that a loss will occur and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated. Under IFRS, the threshold for recording the loss is lower. It is recorded if a loss is probable. Under ASPE, these liabilities are called contingent liabilities, and under IFRS, these liabilities are called provisions. If it is not possible to estimate the amount, these liabilities are only disclosed. They are not disclosed if they are unlikely unless they could have a substantial impact on the entity.
3.
Determine payroll costs and record payroll transactions. Payroll costs consist of employee and employer payroll costs. In recording employee costs, Salaries Expense is debited for the gross pay, individual liability accounts are credited for payroll deductions, and Salaries Payable is credited for net pay. In recording employer payroll costs, Employee Benefits Expense is debited for the employer’s share of Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), workers’ compensation, vacation pay, and any other deductions or benefits provided. Each benefit is credited to its specific current liability account. The objectives of internal control for payroll are (1) to safeguard company assets against unauthorized payments of payrolls, and (2) to ensure the accuracy of the accounting records pertaining to payrolls.
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
4.
Prepare the current liabilities section of the balance sheet. The nature and amount of each current liability and contingency should be reported on the balance sheet or in the notes accompanying the financial statements. Traditionally, current liabilities are reported first and in order of liquidity.
5.
Calculate mandatory payroll deductions (Appendix 10A). Mandatory payroll deductions include CPP, EI, and income taxes. CPP is calculated by multiplying pensionable earnings (gross pay minus the pay-period exemption) by the CPP contribution rate. EI is calculated by multiplying insurable earnings by the EI contribution rate. Federal and provincial income taxes are calculated using a progressive tax scheme and are based on taxable earnings and personal tax credits. The calculations are very complex and it is best to use one of the Canada Revenue Agency income tax calculation tools such as payroll deduction tables.

Bloomcode: Application Difficulty: Medium Learning Objective: Account for uncertain liabilities. Section Reference: Uncertain Liabilities CPA: Financial Reporting AACSB: Analytic Exercise 17 Dejong’s Dry Cleaning had the following events occur during December, 2024. Dejong reports under ASPE. 1. Dejong signed a $40,000 loan guarantee on behalf of Dejong Junior’s. At December 31, Junior’s had drawn $10,000 of loan advances. Junior’s has sufficient assets to cover its liabilities. 2. Dejong was sued by an irate customer who said the trousers that Dejong had returned to him belonged to someone else. The customer is claiming $10,000,000 in damages for distress because he mistakenly wore the ill-fitting trousers to work and suffered discomfort and embarrassment as a result. Dejong’s lawyer has advised them that the likelihood of this claim succeeding is nil, and has offered to defend them at no charge. The Dejongs have already paid the claimant $100 for replacement of the missing trousers. 3. Dejong was sued for wrongful dismissal by a former employee. The employee is claiming $2,000 in lost wages. Dejong’s lawyer has advised them that the claim, if taken to trial, is likely to be upheld. 4. In early December, some dry cleaning fluid spilled and damaged equipment valued at $5,600. Dejong replaced the equipment, which is insured, and expects their insurance policy will reimburse at least $5,000 of the cost and possibly the entire amount. However, the exact amount
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
covered by insurance has not yet been determined. Instructions For each of the four situations above, evaluate the likelihood and measurability of any losses that Dejong may face. Indicate if any liability should be recorded or disclosed in Dejong’s December 31, 2024, financial statements. Solution 17 (10 min.) 1. The loan guarantee results in a contingency that is highly measurable (both the approved and current loan balances are known) but is unlikely to occur. The guarantee should be disclosed, but not recorded as a liability. 2.
The loss related to the lawsuit cannot be measured with any certainty. Common sense would suggest that if there were any loss over and above the $100 already paid, it would not be the $10,000,000 claimed by the plaintiff. In fact, since Dejong's have already paid for the missing garment, any further loss is likely to be minimal. Therefore, measurement is very uncertain. The likelihood of any loss occurring is very low, based on the information provided by the lawyer. This item need not be recorded nor disclosed.
3.
The contingency is highly measurable, since a specific amount has been claimed. It is likely to occur based on information provided by the lawyer. The liability of $2,000 should be recorded.
4.
If a loss was recorded on the disposal of the original equipment, then the insurance proceeds can be used to offset or eliminate this loss. Proceeds received in excess of this loss would reduce the cost of the new equipment rather than creating a gain. Since it is very likely that a settlement of at least $5,000 will be received, Dejong should record the estimated proceeds as a recovery of the damaged equipment to the extent of the original loss. Specific note disclosure could also be made in the notes to the financial statements.

The lawyers say it is unlikely that we will have to pay out this amount and the lawsuit will most likely be dismissed. I have set up the amount based on the best reasonable estimate.

B&B Industrial provided a guarantee on a loan for the company’s owner. The owner needed to obtain a large loan for medical purposes. No entry needed to account for the loan guarantee. No entry No entry needed to set up the reduction in wages that may be incurred due to employees going on strike.

No Entry No entry created for a lawsuit that we will most likely lose because a reasonable amount cannot be estimated.
Instructions For each transaction, determine if the accounting clerk correctly recorded the transaction. If you disagree, provide the correct transaction or disclosure requirement. Solution 18 1. Incorrect. No entry should be created. It is recommended to reverse the current entry and disclose the lawsuit due to the fact that the event could have a substantial negative effect on the company’s financial position. 2.
Correct. No entry is needed, however a loan guarantee should be disclosed even if the chances of having to pay is small.
3.
Correct. No entry or disclosure is required for general risk contingencies that can affect anyone who is operating a business, such as strike, war, or recession.
4.
Incorrect. No entry or disclosure is required for general risk contingencies that can affect anyone who is operating a business, such as strike, war, or recession.
5.
Incorrect. No entry can be created since contingent gains are never recorded. Note disclosure may be appropriate if B&B believes the amount of $365,000 is significant.
6.
Correct. No entry will be recorded. Since the amount cannot be reasonably estimated, it is only necessary to disclose the contingency in the notes to the financial statements.

Exercise 19 Amber Industries, a local concrete manufacturer, has encountered several situations during the 2024 fiscal year. The company follows ASPE. Identify whether each of the following possible contingencies should be recorded, disclosed, or not reported: 1. Amber is being sued by the municipality of Huntington for contaminating the town’s primary water source. If Amber is found responsible, the company will be required to remedy the waterway. Amber’s legal counsel believes there is a high likelihood that the company will be unsuccessful defending the suit. A specialist has estimated the restoration will cost between $1 million and $1.5 million. 2. Amber has guaranteed the debt of a related company in the amount of $2 million. The related company is currently in good financial health and is not intending to rely on Amber’s guarantee. 3. Amber has a history of lawsuits and has been found liable at least once in each of the past 5 years. Although Amber has not been sued in the current year, management would like to record a $50,000 provision for future lawsuits, which is the average payout over the past few years. 4. The government may expropriate Amber’s assets so that a new highway can be built. So far, there have been no discussions about exact amount but the government has assured Amber that the proceeds will exceed the assets’ net book value. 5. Amber is being sued for $500,000 for wrongful dismissal of a company executive. Solution 19 (10 min.) 1. Since it is likely that the company will lose and an amount can be reasonably estimated, a liability for a contingent loss should be recorded. 2.
Disclosure required.
3.
No accrual or disclosure required as the transaction is not a result of a past event and therefore it does not meet the definition of a liability.
4.
There will be a gain on expropriation if the proceeds exceed net book value. Contingent gains are never recorded. Disclosure would be appropriate considering the amount is likely significant.
5.
If it is likely that the company will lose and the amount can be reasonably estimated, then this should be recorded as a contingent liability; otherwise, just disclose.

1.
2. 3. 4.
During December, Milner Company sold 8,900 units of a product that carries a 60-day warranty. The sales for this product totalled $200,000. The company expects 5% of the units to need repair under the warranty and it estimates that the average repair cost per unit will be $30. The company has been sued by a disgruntled employee. Legal counsel believes it is likely that the company will have to pay $150,000 in damages. The company has been named as one of several defendants in a $350,000 damage suit. Legal counsel believes it is unlikely that the company will have to pay any damages. During December, ten employees earn vacation pay at a rate of 1 day per month. Their average daily wage is $160 per employee.
Instructions Prepare adjusting entries, if required, for each of the four items.

Solution 37 (20 min.) a) 1. Note payable is due February 28, 2028. Annual principal amount is $8,000, and therefore this would be classified as the current portion. The unpaid balance at October 31, 2024, is $32,000. 2. Note payable is due in ten months (May 1, 2025) and since this is less than one year the entire note balance of $45,000 is classified as a current liability. 3. Note payable is due February 1, 2026. Principal repayment = $3,333.33 per month x 12 months in fiscal 2025 = $40,000 as the current portion. The unpaid balance at October 31, 2024, is $53,333. b) 1.
The balance of the note (unpaid obligation less current portion) would be considered the noncurrent portion = $32,000 – $8,000 = $24,000
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
2. 3.
c) 1. 2. 3.
The entire note is considered a current liability. The unpaid balance of the note less the current portion would be considered the non-current portion = $53,333 – $40,000 = $13,333
Accrued interest = $32,000 x 8/12 x 5% = $1,067 Accrued interest = $45,000 x 4/12 x 6% = $900 Note payable is repayable on the first of every month so there would be an interest accrual required at October 31, 2024, for one month of interest. Note payable balance at October 1, 2024 = $100,000 – ($3,333.33 x 14 mths.) = $53,333 Accrued interest = $53,333 x 1/12 x 4% = $178

CHAPTER 10 CURRENT LIABILITIES AND PAYROLL CHAPTER LEARNING OBJECTIVES 1.
Account for certain current liabilities. Liabilities are present obligations arising from past events, to make future payments of assets or services. Certain liabilities have certainty about their existence, amount, and timing—in other words, they have a known amount, payee, and due date. Examples of certain current liabilities include accounts payable, unearned revenues, operating lines of credit, notes payable, sales taxes, current maturities of long-term debt, and accrued liabilities such as property taxes, payroll, and interest.
2.
Account for uncertain liabilities. Estimated liabilities exist, but their amount or timing is uncertain. As long as it is likely the company will have to settle the obligation, and the company can reasonably estimate the amount, the liability is recognized. Product warranties, customer loyalty programs, and gift cards result in liabilities that must be estimated. They are recorded as an expense (or as a decrease in revenue) and a liability in the period when the sales occur. These liabilities are reduced when repairs under warranty, redemptions, and returns occur. Gift cards are a type of unearned revenue because they result in a liability until the gift card is redeemed. Because some cards are never redeemed, it is necessary to estimate the liability and make adjustments. A contingency is an existing condition or situation that is uncertain, where it cannot be known if a loss (and a related liability) will result until a future event happens, or does not happen. Under ASPE, a liability for a contingent loss is recorded if it is likely that a loss will occur and the amount of the contingency can be reasonably estimated. Under IFRS, the threshold for recording the loss is lower. It is recorded if a loss is probable. Under ASPE, these liabilities are called contingent liabilities, and under IFRS, these liabilities are called provisions. If it is not possible to estimate the amount, these liabilities are only disclosed. They are not disclosed if they are unlikely unless they could have a substantial impact on the entity.
3.
Determine payroll costs and record payroll transactions. Payroll costs consist of employee and employer payroll costs. In recording employee costs, Salaries Expense is debited for the gross pay, individual liability accounts are credited for payroll deductions, and Salaries Payable is credited for net pay. In recording employer payroll costs, Employee Benefits Expense is debited for the employer’s share of Canada Pension Plan (CPP), Employment Insurance (EI), workers’ compensation, vacation pay, and any other deductions or benefits provided. Each benefit is credited to its specific current liability account. The objectives of internal control for payroll are (1) to safeguard company assets against unauthorized payments of payrolls, and (2) to ensure the accuracy of the accounting records pertaining to payrolls.
Test Bank for Accounting Principles, Ninth Canadian Edition
4.
Prepare the current liabilities section of the balance sheet. The nature and amount of each current liability and contingency should be reported on the balance sheet or in the notes accompanying the financial statements. Traditionally, current liabilities are reported first and in order of liquidity.
5.
Calculate mandatory payroll deductions (Appendix 10A). Mandatory payroll deductions include CPP, EI, and income taxes. CPP is calculated by multiplying pensionable earnings (gross pay minus the pay-period exemption) by the CPP contribution rate. EI is calculated by multiplying insurable earnings by the EI contribution rate. Federal and provincial income taxes are calculated using a progressive tax scheme and are based on taxable earnings and personal tax credits. The calculations are very complex and it is best to use one of the Canada Revenue Agency income tax calculation tools such as payroll deduction tables.
