You are an assistant in the accounting department of Hasher Electronics, a small electronicsretailer. Hasher has a loan that requires the company to maintain a minimum cash balance of$125,000, as reported on its year-end balance sheet. Although Hasher has struggled in recent years,as of yesterday it looked as though Hasher would be able to meet this requirement. The cash balance in Hasher’s general ledger was $130,000 and the company’s credit manager was expecting toreceive a $30,000 electronic funds transfer that day on account from your biggest customer. Yourdepartment supervisor had been worried about meeting the loan requirement, so she had delayedmaking payments to Hasher’s suppliers for several days. But in anticipation of receiving the EFT,she decided yesterday to issue checks to suppliers totaling $15,000.It is now the last day of the fiscal year and your supervisor approaches you with a problem.Your big customer had backed out at the last minute, indicating it had “some…
Each business day, on average, a company writes checks totaling $34,500 to pay its
suppliers. The usual clearing time for the checks is five days. Meanwhile, the company is
receiving payments from its customers each day, in the form of checks, totaling $45,500.
The cash from the payments is available to the firm after three days.
It is the last day of the month and fiscal year, your manager asks you to create an invoice for $10,000 (debiting Accounts Receivable and Crediting Sales) and send it to a specified customer. Normally invoices are sent to customers when products have been shipped or the service has been finished. You manager tells you that we will be shipping equipment and performing the setup services for this customer next month (as early as next week).
You know that by preparing the closing entries tomorrow, the revenue will be included in this year’s fiscal year and then the revenue account will be set to zero for the beginning of the year.
What is your manager trying to accomplish by asking you to do this?

(This is Beavis's first year in business.) This morning, Collins drove up to work in a brand new Lexus. Naturally suspicious by nature, you decide to test the accuracy of the accounts receivable balance of $1,320,000 as shown in the ledger. The following information is available for your first year (precisely 9 months ended September 30, 2010) in business. Collections from customers .......................$1,980,000 Merchandise purchased................................3,600,000 Ending merchandise inventory........................900,000 Goods are marked to sell at 40% above cost. Assuming all sales were made on account, compute the ending balance that should appear in the ledger, noting any apparent shortage.arrow_forwardYou have been recently hired as an assistant controller for XYZ Industries, a large, publically held manufacturing company.
