The following paragraphs describe fraudulent accounting committed by the company Rite-Aid in 1999. After reading the paragraphs, list the journal entries you think Rite-Aid would have used to do what is described here. You will have to make an educated guess as to what journal entries the company would use to cover up the fraud. In the fourth quarter of FY 1999, Rite Aid prematurely recognized $17 million relating to a litigation settlement with a vendor. Rite Aid should not have recognized this sum in that period because the settlement offer was expressly contingent upon the execution of a formal settlement agreement which did not take place until May 20, 1999. Moreover, the litigation settlement was also contingent upon the execution of a purchasing agreement that was not finalized until May 18, 1999. Both of these contingencies were expressly stated in the February 26, 1999 letter of intent signed by Grass.
