Your brother has recently managed to save $5,000, and he would like to invest some of this money in the stock market, so hes researching various global corporations that are listed on the stock exchange. He is reviewing a company that has Goodwill as an item on the balance sheet. He is quite perplexed about what this means, so he asks you for help, knowing that you are taking accounting classes. How would you explain the concept of goodwill to him by comparing it to other types of resources the company has available?arrow_forwardAssume you are a senior accountant and have been assigned the responsibility for making the entries to close the books for the year. You have prepared the following four entries and presented them to your boss, the chief financial officer of the company, along with the company CEO, in the weekly staff meeting: As the CEO was reviewing your work, he asked the question, What do these entries mean? Can we learn anything about the company from reviewing them? Provide an explanation to give to the CEO about what the entries reveal about the companys operations this year.arrow_forward
- Assume that you are the controller of a business that provides legal services to clients. Suppose that the company has had a tough year, so the revenues have been lagging behind, based on previous years standards. What would you do if your boss (the chief executive officer [CEO] of the company) asked to reclassify a transaction to report loan proceeds of $150,000 as if the cash came from service fee revenue from clients instead. Would following the CEOs advice impact the companys accounting equation? How would reclassifying this one transaction change the outcome of the balance sheet, the income statement, and the statement of retained earnings? Would making this reclassification change the perception that users of the financial statements would have of the companys current year success and future year potential? Write a memo, detailing your willingness (or not) to embrace this suggestion, giving reasons behind your decision. Remember to exercise diplomacy, even if you must dissent from the opinion of a supervisor. Note that the challenge of the assignment is to keep your integrity intact, while also keeping your job, if possible.arrow_forwardThis problem is designed to enable you to apply the knowledge you have acquired in the preceding chapters. In accounting, the ultimate test is being able to handle data in real life situations. This problem will give you valuable experience. CHART OF ACCOUNTS You are to record transactions in a two-column general journal. Assume that the fiscal period is one month. You will then be able to complete all of the steps in the accounting cycle. When you are analyzing the transactions, think them through by visualizing the T accounts or by writing them down on scratch paper. For unfamiliar types of transactions, specific instructions for recording them are included. However, reason them out for yourself as well. Check off each transaction as it is recorded. Required 1. Journalize the transactions. (Start on page 1 of the general journal if using Excel or Working Papers.) 2. Post the transactions to the ledger accounts. (Skip this step if using CLGL.) 3. Prepare a trial balance. (If using a work sheet, use the first two columns.) 4. Data for the adjustments are as follows: a. Insurance expired during the month, 1,000. b. Depreciation of pool structure for the month, 715. c. Depreciation of fan system for the month, 260. d. Depreciation of sailboats for the month, 900. e. Wages accrued at June 30, 810. Your instructor may want you to use a work sheet for these adjustments. 5. Journalize adjusting entries. 6. Post adjusting entries to the ledger accounts. (Skip this step if using CLGL.) 7. Prepare an adjusted trial balance 8. Prepare the income statement 9. Prepare the statement of owners equity. 10. Prepare the balance sheet. 11. Journalize closing entries. 12. Post closing entries to the ledger accounts. (Skip this step if using CLGL.) 13. Prepare a post-dosing trial balance. Check Figure Trial balance total, 281,858; net income, 7,143; post-dosing trial balance total, 263,341arrow_forwardAssume you are a newly-hired accountant for a local manufacturing firm. You have enjoyed working for the company and are looking forward to your first experience participating in the preparation of the companys financial statements for the year-ending December 31, the end of the companys fiscal year. As you are preparing your assigned journal entries, your supervisor approaches you and asks to speak with you. Your supervisor is concerned because, based on her preliminary estimates, the company will fall just shy of its financial targets for the year. If the estimates are true, this means that all 176 employees of the company will not receive year-end bonuses, which represent a significant portion of their pay. One of the entries that you will prepare involves the upcoming bond interest payment that will be paid on January 15 of the next year. Your supervisor has calculated that, if the journal entry is dated on January 1 of the following year rather than on December 31 of the current year, the company will likely meet its financial goals thereby allowing all employees to receive year-end bonuses. Your supervisor asks you if you will consider dating the journal entry on January 1 instead of December 31 of the current year. Assess the implications of the various stake holders and explain what your answer will be.arrow_forward
