Anstead Co. is experiencing a decrease in sales and operating income for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2016. Ryan Frazier, controller of Anstead Co., has suggested that all orders received before the end of the fiscal year be shipped by midnight, October 31, 2016, even if the shipping department must work overtime.

Company E is a retailer of commercial and residential plumbing products. Steven Owens, the company’s staff accountant, is in the process of making year-end adjusting entries for uncollectible accounts receivable. Recently, the company has experienced an increase in accounts that have become uncollectible. As a result, Owens believes that the company should increase the percentage used for estimating doubtful accounts from 2% to 5% of credit sales. This change will significantly increase bad debt expense, resulting in a drop in earnings for the first time ever for the company. The company president, Thomas Williams, is under considerable pressure to meet the earnings goals for the fiscal year. He suggests to Steven that this is “not the proper time” to change the estimate. He instructs Steven to keep the estimate at 2%. Steven is confident that 2% is way too low, but he follows Thomas' instructions.
Evaluate the decision to use the lower percentage to improve earnings.

Health Corporation has several current notes receivable on its year-end balance sheet. While collection seems certain, it may be delayed beyond one year. Because of this, the controller wants to re-classify these notes as non-current. Health's treasurer also thinks that collection will be delayed but does not favor re-classification because this will reduce the current ratio from 1.5:1 to 0.8:1. This reduction in current ratio is detrimental to company prospects for securing a major loan.
1. Should the controller re-classify the notes? Give reasoning.
2. Does the treasurers position pose an ethical dilemma for the controller. Explain.

- Krispy Kreme was involved in an accounting fraud where the company reported false quarterly and annual earnings and falsely claimed that, as a result of those earnings, it had achieved what had become a prime benchmark of its historical performance, that is, reporting quarterly earnings per share that exceeded its previously announced EPS guidance by 1¢.

- Avery Frozen Foods owes the bank $50,000 on a line of credit. Terms of the agreement specifythat Avery must maintain a minimum current ratio of 1.2 to 1, or the entire outstanding balance becomes immediately due in full. To date, the company has complied with the minimum require-ment. However, management has just learned that a failed warehouse freezer has ruined thousands of dollars of frozen foods inventory. If the company records this loss, its current ratio will drop toapproximately 0.8 to 1.Whether any or all of this loss may be covered by insurance currently is in dispute and will notbe known for at least 90 days—perhaps much longer. There are several reasons why the insurancecompany may have no liability.In trying to decide how to deal with the bank, management is considering the followingoptions: (1) postpone recording the inventory loss until the dispute with the insurance companyis resolved, (2) increase the current ratio to 1.2 to 1 by making a large purchase of inventory…arrow_forwardTo promote the sale of some specialty goods, Larkspur Ltd. began a generous return policy for its customers. Customers can return merchandise for up to three months following the date of the invoice, no questions asked. For the current period, sales of these specialty goods totalled $37,400.
