Chapter 9, Problem 9.4E
Recording a Note Payable through Its Time to Maturity with Discussion of Management Strategy
Many businesses borrow money during periods of increased business activity to finance inventory and accounts receivable. Neiman Marcus is one of America’s most prestigious retailers. Each Christmas season, Neiman Marcus builds up its inventory to meet the needs of Christmas shoppers. A large portion of these Christmas sales are on credit. As a result, Neiman Marcus often collects cash from the sales several months after Christmas. Assume that on November 1 of this year, Neiman Marcus borrowed $4.8 million cash from Bank of America to meet short-term obligations. Neiman Marcus signed an interest-bearing note and promised to repay the $4.8 million in six months. The annual interest rate was 8%. All interest will accrue and be paid when the note is due in six months. Neiman Marcus’s accounting period ends December 31.
Required:
- 1. Provide the
journal entry to record the note on November 1. - 2. Provide any
adjusting entry required at the end of the annual accounting period on December 31. - 3. Provide the journal entry to record payment of the note and interest on the maturity date, April 30.
- 4. If Neiman Marcus needs extra cash during every Christmas season, should management borrow money on a long-term basis to avoid the necessity of negotiating a new short-term loan each year?

- Codification Situation You are conducting an accounting research project for your boss. 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_forwardCredit Card Sales Jamie’s Fabrics accepts cash, personal checks, and two credit cards when customers buy merchandise.
