I am having trouble answering 17. Thank you! One Trick Pony (OTP) incorporated and began operations near the end of the year, resulting in the following post-closing balances at December 31: Cash $ 18,970 Accounts Receivable 14,130 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 430 * Inventories 2,000 Deferred Revenue (40 units) 4,800 Accounts Payable 2,040 Note Payable (long-term) 12,000 Common Stock 10,900 Retained Earnings 4,930 * credit balance. The following information is relevant to the first month of operations in the following year: OTP will sell inventory at $120 per unit. OTP’s January 1 inventory balance consists of 50 units at a total cost of $2,000. OTP’s policy is to use the FIFO method, recorded using a perpetual inventory system. In December, OTP received a $4,800 payment for 40 units OTP is to deliver in January; this obligation was recorded in Deferred Revenue. Rent of $1,140 was unpaid and recorded in Accounts Payable at December 31. OTP’s note payable matures in three years, and accrues interest at a 10% annual rate. January Transactions Included in OTP’s January 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,200 balance due from Jeff Letrotski. Jeff is having cash flow problems and cannot pay the $1,200 balance at this time. On 01/01, OTP arranges with Jeff to convert the $1,200 balance to a six-month note, at 10% annual interest. Jeff signs the promissory note, which indicates the principal and all interest will be due and payable to OTP on July 1 of this year. OTP paid a $260 insurance premium on 01/02, covering the month of January; the payment is recorded directly as an expense. OTP purchased an additional 200 units of inventory from a supplier on account on 01/05 at a total cost of $8,000, with terms n/30. OTP paid a courier $400 cash on 01/05 for same-day delivery of the 200 units of inventory. The 40 units that OTP’s customer paid for in advance in December are delivered to the customer on 01/06. On 01/07, OTP received a purchase allowance of $1,200 on account, and then paid the amount necessary to settle the balance owed to the supplier for the 1/05 purchase of inventory (in c). Sales of 60 units of inventory occurring during the period of 01/07–01/10 are recorded on 01/10. The sales terms are n/30. Collected payments on 01/14 from sales to customers recorded on 01/10. OTP paid the first 2 weeks’ wages to the employees on 01/16. The total paid is $4,610. Wrote off a $980 customer’s account balance on 01/18. OTP uses the allowance method, not the direct write-off method. Paid $2,280 on 01/19 for December and January rent. See the earlier bullets regarding the December portion. The January portion will expire soon, so it is charged directly to expense. OTP recovered $370 cash on 01/26 from the customer whose account had previously been written off on 01/18. An unrecorded $130 utility bill for January arrived on 01/27. It is due on 02/15 and will be paid then. Sales of 70 units of inventory during the period of 01/10–01/28, with terms n/30, are recorded on 01/28. Of the sales recorded on 01/28, 10 units are returned to OTP on 01/30. The inventory is not damaged and can be resold. OTP charges sales returns directly against Sales Revenue. On 01/31, OTP records the $4,610 employee salary that is owed but will be paid February 1. OTP uses the aging method to estimate and adjust for uncollectible accounts on 01/31. All of OTP’s accounts receivable fall into a single aging category, for which 10% is estimated to be uncollectible. (Update the balances of both relevant accounts prior to determining the appropriate adjustment.) Accrue interest for January on the note payable on 01/31. Accrue interest for January on Jeff Letrotski’s note on 01/31 (see a).
Bad Debts
At the end of the accounting period, a financial statement is prepared by every company, then at that time while preparing the financial statement, the company determines among its total receivable amount how much portion of receivables is collected by the company during that accounting period.
Accounts Receivable
The word “account receivable” means the payment is yet to be made for the work that is already done. Generally, each and every business sells its goods and services either in cash or in credit. So, when the goods are sold on credit account receivable arise which means the company is going to get the payment from its customer to whom the goods are sold on credit. Usually, the credit period may be for a very short period of time and in some rare cases it takes a year.
