“Louis's firm had the following situations during the year:
Louis's CEO purchased a Ferrari for personal use and charged it to the company.
Louis added five additional weeks to its fiscal year so it could improve its income. The accounting period for the previous years were 52 weeks.
Equipment with a cost of £100,000 is reported at its market value of £150,000.
Recently, Louis purchased a beach house for his personal use. However, he plans on using it for company retreats and for hosting large clients. Hence, he decided to list the asset and the corresponding liability for this reason (he used a loan to purchase this asset).
Louis included £10,000 in accounts receivable and retained earnings for a service that he will provide next year. Since he is an honest man and will provide the service, he decided to record the amount this year.
The company had paid £3,000 for insurance but uses only £2,000 during the period. The accountant has recorded £3,000 as insurance…

Diamond Computers, which is owned and operated by Dale Diamond, manufactures and sells different types of computers. The company has reported profits every year since its inception in 2002 and has applied for a bank loan near the end of 2021 to upgrade manufacturing facilities. These upgrades should significantly boost future productivity and profitability.
In preparing the financial statements for the year, the chief accountant, Sandy Walters, mentions to Dale that approximately $80,000 of computer inventory has become obsolete and a write-down of inventory should be recorded in 2021.
Dale understands that the write-down would result in a net loss being reported for company operations in 2021. This could jeopardize the company’s application for the bank loan, which would lead to employee layoffs. Dale is a very kind, older gentleman who cares little for his personal wealth but who is deeply devoted to his employees’ well-being. He truly believes the loan is necessary for the company’s…

In 2018, while continuing to teach one section of Business Ethics, she established Virtue Ltd. (VL) in order to market her numerous publications and online courses involving the application of ethical principles to business situations. While the company experienced a net operating loss of $128,000 in the fiscal period ending December 31, 2018, VL experienced rapidly increasing sales during 2019. Because Janice believed the improvement was indicative of the success to come, VL moved to larger premises that were purchased for $423,000. Of this total, $100,000 related to the land, with the remaining $323,000 allocated to the building. Because the building was to be used exclusively for non-residential purposes, it was allocated to a separate Class 1. In selling the previous premises in 2019, VL experienced an allowable capital loss on the land of $36,000. The…arrow_forward
- Roy Akins was the accounting manager at Zelco, a tire manufacturer, and he played golf with Hugh Stallings, the CEO, who was something of a celebrity in the community. The CEO stood to earn a substantial bonus if Zelco increased net income by year-end. Roy was eager to get into Hugh’s elite social circle; he boasted to Hugh that he knew some accounting tricks that could increase company income by simply revising a few journal entries for rental payments on storage units. At the end of the year, Roy changed the debits from “rent expense” to “prepaid rent” on several entries. Later, Hugh got his bonus, and the deviations were never discovered. Requirements How did the change in the journal entries affect the net income of the company at year-end?

After losing a number of big lawsuits, it was facing its first annual net loss as the end of the year approached. The owner, Hank Snow, was under intense pressure from the company’s creditors to report positive net income for the year. However, he knew that the controller, Alice Li, had arranged a short-term bank loan of $10,000 to cover a temporary shortfall of cash. He told Alice to record the incoming cash as “construction revenue” instead of a loan. That would nudge the company’s income into positive territory for the year, and then, he said, the entry could be corrected in January when the loan was repaid.
