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. Because Anstead Co. ships all merchandise FOB shipping point, it would record all such shipments as sales for the year ending October 31, 2016 thereby offsetting some of the decreases in sales and operating income.
Respond to the following questions:
Is Ryan Frazier behaving in a professional manner?
Do you think Ryan Frazier would have made the same suggestion if merchandise was shipped FOB destination point?
If you were in Ryan’s position what would you suggest?

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.

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.
