- Bud Lighting Co. is a retailer of commercial and residential lighting products. Gowen Geter, the company’s chief accountant, is in the process of making year-end adjusting entries for uncollectible accounts receivable. In recent years, the company has experienced an increase in accounts that have become uncollectible. As a result, Gowen believes that the company should increase the percentage used for estimating doubtful accounts from 2% to 4% of credit sales. This change will significantly increase bad debt expense, resulting in a drop in earnings for the first time in company history. The company president, Tim Burr, is under considerable pressure to meet earnings goals. He suggests that this is “not the right time” to change the estimate. He instructs Gowen to keep the estimate at 2%. Gowen is confident that 2% is too low, but he follows Tim’s instructions. Evaluate the decision to use the lower percentage to improve earnings. How would raising the percentage change the financial…arrow_forwardPrior to recording the following, Elite Electronics, Incorporated, had a credit balance of $2,200 in its Allowance for Doubtful Accounts.

A new bookkeeper cant find the errors that are causing the companys month-end trial balance to be out of balance. The bookkeeper is too shy to ask for help at the office, so she takes the financial records home and asks her uncle, a retired bookkeeper, to help her locate the errors. Even with the help of her uncle, the trial balance is still out of balance, and now she is too embarrassed to return to the office and ask for help. The bookkeeper decides to show the trial balance is in balance and hope no one notices. Explain if there is anything wrong with this practice.arrow_forward

You notice the invoice looks a little different from other invoices that are usually processed.

They have a year-end of December 31st. In 2019, they recorded their regular transactions, but then realized the following: They were counting inventory at 12/31/18 and the inventory clerk forgot to include in inventory $40,000 of flowers that were in transit to a customer (shipped FOB destination a few days before). Analyze the error assuming that it is not discovered at 12/31/18. Use the standard grid, but also include a line for retained earnings. They are impressed, but are also bummed out. It appears that in March 2019, their clerk forgot to record the freight in of 10,000 for items that were purchased in March. The error was not discovered until they paid the freight bill in 2020. Analyze using the standard grid, but analyze retained earnings as well.
