Its reporting year-end is December 31. The chief financial officer is concerned about having enough cash to pay the expected income tax bill because of poor cash flow management. On November 15, the purchasing department purchased excess inventory of CD raw materials in anticipation of rapid growth of this product beginning in January. To decrease the company’s tax liability, the chief financial officer tells you to record the purchase of this inventory as part of supplies and expense it in the current year; this would decrease the company’s tax liability by increasing expenses.

- Between the end of one month and the 15th day of the next month, the balance in the employers business bank account has been getting smaller and smaller. An employee prepares the next payroll and correctly computes the necessary withholding taxes. The employer is supposed to pay accumulated employment taxes on the 15th of the next month. Payday is the last day of the month. However, the employer has used the funds withheld from employees to pay some of the businesss bills. He hopes that enough of the customers who owe him money will pay their outstanding debts. If his assumption is true, the checking account will have enough in it to pay the federal deposit on the 15th of the month. Is the employer acting ethically? After all, he says he intends to have enough money in the account for the deposit. Explain your answer.arrow_forwardRecognizing pension expense The annual examination of Felton Companys financial statements by its external public accounting firm (auditors) is nearing completion. The following conversation took place between the controller of Felton Company (Francie) and the audit manager from the public accounting firm (Sumana): Sumana: You know, Francie, we are about to wrap up our audit for this fiscal year. Yet, there is one item still to be resolved. Francie: Whats that? Sumana: Well, as you know, at the beginning of the year, Felton began a defined benefit pension plan. This plan promises your employees an annual payment when they retire, using a formula based on their salaries at retirement and their years of service. I believe that a pension expense should be recognized this year, equal to the amount of pension earned by your employees. Francie: Wait a minute. I think you have it all wrong. The company doesnt have a pension expense until it actually pays the pension in cash when the employee retires. After all, some of these employees may not reach retirement, and if they dont, the company doesnt owe them anything. Sumana: Youre not really seeing this the right way. The pension is earned by your employees during their working years. You actually make the payment much laterwhen they retire. Its like one long accrualmuch like incurring wages in one period and paying them in the next. Thus, I think you should recognize the expense in the period the pension is earned by the employees. Francie: Let me see if Ive got this straight. I should recognize an expense this period for something that may or may not be paid to the employees in 20 or 30 years, when they finally retire. How am I supposed to determine what the expense is for the current year? The amount of the final retirement depends on many uncertainties: salary levels, employee longevity, mortality rates, and interest earned on investments to fund the pension. I dont think an amount can be determined even if I accepted your arguments. Evaluate Sumanas position. Is she right, or is Francie correct?arrow_forwardFollowing is a trial balance prepared just before you were hired. Two accounts are missing, and the amount for Sales is off. Here are a few facts to consider. Our business is in a state that collects sales tax. I ran some totals, and we collected 1,800 in sales tax. Customers returned 900 in goods, which would reduce the above sales tax by 70. Our books need to reflect these events. The former accounting clerk said that she recorded everythingsomewhere. She said that she may have credited the 1,800 sales tax to Sales and not to Sales Tax Payable. And she looked confused when Sales Returns and Allowances was mentioned. She asked, Why not just debit Sales? Determine the two missing accounts and correct the accounts that are off. 1. Think about where these amounts might have been put, think about what accounts are missing, and use T accounts to solve the problems. 2. Prepare a corrected trial balance.arrow_forward
