Chris P. Bacon is the chief accountant for CV Industries, a large manufacturing company. In addition to its normal business activities, the company has excess warehouse space that it rents out to local businesses. Because the typical renter is a small business, CV Industries requires renters to make lease payments for the entire rental period on the day the lease is signed. As a result, CV Industries typically reports a large unearned rent balance on its balance sheet.
After making adjusting entries for the current year, Chris prepares the adjusted trial balance and notices that the company’s earnings will decline significantly. He presents the adjusted trial balance to the company’s CFO, Antonio Beldin, who is concerned about the earnings decline. Mr. Beldin notices the large unearned rent balance and proposes making an additional end-of-period adjusting entry to recognize the entire unearned rent balance as revenue in the current period.

- Your client is preparing financial statements to show the bank. You know that he has incurred a refrigeration repair expense during the month, but you see no such expense on the books. When you question the client, he tells you that he has not yet paid the 1,255 bill. Your client is on the accrual basis of accounting. He does not want the refrigeration repair expense on the books as of the end of the month because he wants his profits to look good for the bank.

Renters usually pay rent on a quarterly basis at the beginning of the quarter. The owners contend that the critical event that motivates revenue recognition should be the date the cash is received from renters. After all, the money is in hand and is very seldom returned.Required:Do you agree or disagree with the position of the owners of Wolf Company?

In the course of your examination, you conclude that the bookkeeper hired during the current year is not doing a good job. You notice a number of irregularities as follows. 1. Year-end wages payable of $3,100 were not recorded because the bookkeeper thought that “they were immaterial.” 2. Accrued vacation pay for the year of $30,300 was not recorded because the bookkeeper “never heard that you had to do it.” 3. Insurance for a 12-month period purchased on November 1 of this year was charged to insurance expense in the amount of $2,424 because “the amount of the check is about the same every year.” 4. Reported sales revenue for the year is $2,301,260. This includes all sales taxes collected for the year. The sales tax rate is 6%. Because the sales tax is forwarded to the state’s Department of Revenue, the Sales Tax Expense account is debited.
