Initiating a cash discount Gardner Company currently makes all sales on credit and offers no cash discount. The firm is considering offering a
2%
cash discount for payment within 15 days. The firm's current average collection period is
60
days, sales are
40,000
units, selling price is
$46
per unit, and variable cost per unit is
$35.
The firm expects that the change in credit terms will result in an increase in sales to
45,000
units, that
70%
of the sales will take the discount, and that the average collection period will fall to
30
days. If the firm's required rate of return on equal-risk investments is
10%,
should the proposed discount be offered?
(Note:
Assume a 365-day year.)
Determining Transaction Price and Refund Liability
In January 2020, a retailer sells 500 paper shredders to customers for $100 each. The terms of the sales include a right for the customer to return a shredder within 180 days of the sale date. Based on historical trends, the retailer uses the expected value method and estimates a 35% probability that 40 paper shredders will be returned, a 40% probability that 45 paper shredders will be returned, and a 25% probability that 60 paper shredders will be returned. The retailer also concludes it is highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal of revenue recognized based on this return estimate. Thus, the agreement is a valid contract. Assume no actual returns in January 2020.
Determine (1) the transaction price for the sale of shredders for January 2020, and (2) the refund liability balance on January 31, 2020. Round expected returns to the nearest whole unit in your calculations.

Accounts Payable and Cash Discounts Byrd Company had the following transactions during 2019 and 2020:
On December 24,2019, a computer was purchased on account from Computers International for $60,000. Terms of the sale were 2/10, n/30.
Byrd calculated that to forgo the discount for the computer would be the equivalent of paying 36% interest annually for the extra 20 days. Therefore, Byrd went to First Local Bank and signed a $ 60,000, 30-day note at 12% in order to take advantage of the discount terms. This transaction took place on December 29, 2019.(The account payable was paid on January 2,2020, and the note was paid at maturity. Assume a 360- day year.)
On December 30,2019, Byrd declared a $2.00 cash dividend to the common shareholders. Ten thousand shares were outstanding on this date.The dividend is to be paid on January 5, 2020.
Required:
Prepare the journal entries for Byrd for both 2019 and 2020. Assume that the net price method is used to account for the credit terms.
