The following information is relevant to the first month of operations in the following year:

 

  • OPC sells its inventory at $150 per unit, plus sales tax of 6 percent. OPC’s January 1 inventory balance consists of 180 units at a total cost of $12,240. OPC’s policy is to use the FIFO method, recorded using a perpetual inventory system.
  • The $1,940 in Prepaid Rent relates to a payment made in December for January rent this year.
  • The equipment was purchased on July 1 of last year. It has a residual value of $1,000 and an expected life of five years. It is being depreciated using the straight-line method.
  • Employee wages are $4,000 per month. Employees are paid on the 16th for the first half of the month and on the first day of the following month for the second half of each month. Withholdings each pay period include $250 of income taxes and $150 of FICA taxes. These withholdings and the employer’s matching contribution are paid monthly on the second day of the following month. In addition, unemployment taxes of $50 are accrued each pay period, and will be paid on March 31.
  • Deferred Revenue is for 30 units ordered and paid for in advance by two customers in late December. One order of 25 units is to be filled in January, and the other will be filled in February.
  • Notes Payable arises from a three-year, 9 percent bank loan received on October 1 last year.
  • The par value on the common stock is $2 per share.
  • Treasury Stock arises from the reacquisition of 500 shares at a cost of $8 per share.
