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.

Assume that you are a staff accountant at BikeBuild, a manufacturer of high end off-road bicycles. BikeBuild uses a perpetual inventory system and prepares annual financial statements on December 31. The chief financial officer is concerned about having enough cash to pay the expected income tax bill because of BikeBuild's poor cash management. On November 15, excess inventory of bike parts (raw materials) was purchased in anticipation of an expected increase in bicycle production which will begin 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.
1. In which account should the purchase of bicycle parts be recorded?
2. How should you respond to this request by the chief financial officer?
Dryden Company is an auto parts supplier. At the end of each month, the employee who maintains all of the inventory records takes a physical inventory of the firm’s stock.

What problems could arise as a result of Dryden Company’s inventory procedures?2. How could the internal control system be strengthened to eliminate the potential problems?
