You are the assistant controller in charge of general ledger accounting at Linebarger Bottling Company. Your company has a large loan from an insurance company. The loan agreement requires that the company's cash account balance be maintained at $200,000 or more, as reported monthly.
On June 30, the cash balance is $80,000, which you report to Lisa Infante, the financial vice president. Lisa excitedly instructs you to keep the cash receipts book open for one additional day for purposes of the June 30 report to the insurance company. Lisa says, “If we don't get that cash balance over $200,000, we'll default on our loan agreement. They could close us down, put us all out of our jobs!” Lisa continues, “I talked to Oconto Distributors (one of Linbarger's largest customers) this morning. They said they sent us a check for $150,000 yesterday. We should receive it tomorrow. If we include just that one check in our cash balance, we'll be in the clear. It's in the mail!”

Madeline is the sole proprietor of Maddie's Fine Art and wants to know whether she will have
enough funds in her bank account to pay her bills over the next three months. She has $1,000 in
her bank account after recently selling a painting, owes $500 to a vendor for paint and canvas, and
expects an additional $500 in invoices in the next three months for other supplies. As her
accountant, the best feedback you can give Madeline is:
Assuming no additional sales over the next three months, Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 1.0 and
therefore has the necessary liquidity to pay its vendors.
Madeline will need to sell at least one more painting for $500 to cover the invoices due within the next
three months as Maddie's Fine art has a current ratio of 0.5.
Madeline should consult with a bankruptcy attorney because Maddie's Fine Art has a current ratio of 0.75
and may not be able to pay any or all of its invoices within the next three months.
O In addition to paying her current…
Suppose you have a business where you house-sit for people while they are away on vacation.
Some of your customers pay you immediately after you finish a job. Some customers ask you
to send them a bill. It is now 30th June and you have collected $900 from cash-paying
customers. Your remaining customers owe you $1,300.
How much service revenue would you have under accrual accounting?
