Chapter 6, Problem 6.2CP
Purchases discounts and accounts payable
Rustic Furniture Co. is owned and operated by Cam Pfeifer. The following is an excerpt from a conversation between Cam Pfeifer and Mitzi Wheeler, the chief accountant for Rustic Furniture Co.:
Cam: Mitzi, I’ve got a question about this recent balance sheet.
Mitzi: Sure, what’s your question?
Cam: Well, as you know, I’m applying for a bank loan to finance our new store In Garden Grove, and I noticed that the accounts payable are listed as $320,000.
Mitzi: That’s right. Approximately $275,030 of that represents amounts due our suppliers, and the remainder is miscellaneous payables to creditors for utilities, office equipment, supplies, etc.
Cam: That’s what I thought. But as you know, we normally receive a 2% discount from our suppliers for earlier payment, and we always try to take the discount.
Mitzi: That’s right. I can’t remember the last time we missed a discount.
Cam: Well, in that case, it seems to me the accounts payable should be listed minus the 2% discount. Let’s list the accounts payable due suppliers as $310,500 rather than $320,000. Every little bit helps. You never know. It might make the difference between getting and not getting the loan.
How would you respond to Cam Pfeifer’s request?

A business can often provide details of cash sales and purchases.

At the beginning of the financial year debtors were £5,610.
During the year receipts from debtors amounted to £69,630.

Your boss has asked you to determine the appropriate U.S. GAAP that specifies how your company should recognize revenues from the sales of products in a retail store. Your boss is confused because most customers pay cash, but some customers purchase on credit terms, and pay in cash 30 days later. Your manager also wants you to determine the GAAP guidance for how revenue should be recognized in income. Your manager has a lot of knowledge and experience in accounting and has heard about, but has never used, the FASB Accounting Standards Codification system. Directions Use the FASB Accounting Standards Codification system to conduct the research your manager has assigned to you. Use the Codification to determine how to recognize revenue from retail sales, including the right to return. Be prepared to show your manager the specific FASB ASC references that provide the appropriate guidance. Also prepare a brief memo explaining to your manager the different levels of the Codification and how to use the Codification system.arrow_forward
