Rustic Furniture Co. is owned and operated by Cam Pfeifer. The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Cam Pfeifer and Mitzi Wheeler, the chief accountant for Rustic Furniture Co.:Cam: Mitzi, I’ve got a question about this recent balance sheet.Mitzi: Sure, what’s your question?Cam: Well, as you know, I’m applying for a bank loan to finance our new store in Garden Grove, and I noticed that the accounts payable are listed as $320,000.Mitzi: That’s right. Approximately $275,000 of that represents amounts due our suppliers, and the remainder is miscellaneous payables to creditors for utilities, office equipment, supplies, etc.Cam: That’s what I thought. But as you know, we normally receive a 2% discount from our suppliers for earlier payment, and we always try to take the discount.Mitzi: That’s right. I can’t remember the last time we missed a discount.Cam: Well, in that case, it seems to me the accounts payable should be listed minus the 2% discount. Let’s list the…
The following is an excerpt from a conversation between two employees of WXT Technologies, Nolan Sears and Stacy Mays. Nolan is the accounts payable clerk, and Stacy is the cashier.
Nolan:
Stacy, could I get your opinion on something?
Stacy:
Sure, Nolan.
Nolan:
Do you know Rita, the fixed assets clerk?
Stacy:
I know who she is, but I don't know her real well. Why?
Nolan:
Well, I was talking to her at lunch last Monday about how she liked her job. You know, the usual; and she mentioned something about having to keep two sets of books—one for taxes and one for the financial statements. That can't be good accounting, can it? What do you think?
Stacy:
Two sets of books? It doesn't sound right.
Nolan:
It doesn't seem right to me either. I was always taught that you had to use generally accepted accounting principles. How can there be two sets of books? What can be the difference between the two?
How would you respond to Nolan and Stacy if you were Rita?

- You have recently been hired by Davis & Company, a small public accounting firm. One of the firm’s partners, Alice Davis, has asked you to deal with a disgruntled client, Mr. Sean Pitt, owner of the city’s largest hardware store. Mr. Pitt is applying to a local bank for a substantial loan to remodel his store. The bank requires accrual based financial statements but Mr. Pitt has always kept the company’s records on a cash basis. He does not see the purpose of accrual based statements.

The company has expanded and now has several large locations. Your uncle knows that you are taking a financial accounting class and asks you the following question: “When we first got started, our accountant told us to use LIFO for our inventory. We were paying her a lot of money so we followed that advice. One of our biggest customers is owned by a company located in Italy. Recently, the manager for that company was telling me that their accounting is based on IFRS rather than U.S. GAAP and that IFRS apparently believes that LIFO is theoretically flawed. Why are we using a flawed system? I don’t even what impact LIFO has on our financial statements. I know that we started out this year with 100,000 units that cost $5 each and then we bought another 400,000 units for $8.00. At the end of the year, because of our sales during the period, we only had 100,000 units left. What difference did LIFO make?”arrow_forward
