Grady Wholesale Corporation is a reseller of electronics equipment such as personal computers, peripherals, and software. Grady purchases items in bulk from various manufacturers, repackages them into smaller lots and resells them to retailers for ultimate sale to consumers.

The company maintains its financial records manually. “The books” consist of special journals for sales, purchases of merchandise (made on account), cash receipts, cash disbursements, and a general journal (for all transactions that do not fit into one of the above categories), a general ledger, and subsidiary ledgers for accounts receivable and accounts payable (for merchandise purchases). Grady’s policy is to post entries made in the general journal to the general ledger on a daily basis. Entries made to the special journals (sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash disbursements) are posted to the general ledger at the end of the month. However, the subsidiary ledgers are updated on a daily basis. Check numbers, sales order numbers, and invoice numbers are used as the reference numbers for posting purposes.

Grady’s fiscal year-end is December 31. Adjusting entries are only prepared at the end of the fiscal year. The trial balance (taken from the general ledger) as of November 30, 2009 follows:

Additional Information:

All sales to customers are made on account. No sales discounts are offered, and payments are due in 30 days. Bad debt expense is recorded at year-end at an amount equal to ½ of 1% (0.005) of sales.

A year-end examination of the accounts receivable determined that the receivable from Software Unlimited was not collectible and was written off.

On October 1, 2009, Grady accepted a $5,000, 1-year, 12% note from Kenny’s Computers. Interest will be paid when the note matures.

On January 2, 2009, Grady purchased (and paid for) a two-year fire insurance policy for $12,000.

The Company owns the building that serves as the company’s headquarters and warehouse, as well as the furniture and equipment within that building. All of these items were purchased several years ago, and no items are expected to have any salvage value at the end of their lives. At the time of purchase, the life of the building was determined to be 30 years, and the furniture and equipment’s life was estimated at 10 years. Grady uses straight-line depreciation for all of its assets.

Employees are paid twice monthly, with checks distributed on the 20th and the 5th of the following month (five days after the end of the pay period). The payroll is outsourced to Payrolls Unlimited, a company that not only makes all salary-related computations (gross wages, all deductions, and net wages) and prepares the paychecks, but also makes the payments to all third parties on behalf of the company. On the 4th and 19th of the month, the company notifies Grady of the amount of the gross payroll and any payroll taxes to be paid by the employer. Grady then remits a check for that amount, takes delivery of the paychecks and distributes them to the employees. The payroll summary indicates that the gross payroll for the period December 16 – December 31 was $17,000, and the employer’s share of the payroll taxes $1,326. A check for this amount will be written on January 4, 2010.

Grady uses a perpetual inventory system.

A year-end inventory of the office supplies showed a balance of $4,500.

In 2005, Grady borrowed $500,000 to expand their operations. The note is due on October 1, 2010, and carries an annual interest rate of 12%, payable on March 31 and September 30.

December, 2009 utility usage is $1,875. This bill is expected to be paid on January 15, 2010.

Grady’s income tax expense for 2009 is $97,340.

I know that this is not a proper procedure of accounting, but would this just affect the business's financials by not ending up with the correct fiscal period financials as:

He didn't use or post the supplies (expense), so the business would show more of a profit than it should for that fiscal period. Is this the correct answer?

If not could someone please let me know how to answer this properly. ]]> Timest http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/end-fiscal-period-didnt-account-expenses-supplies-417587.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/monthly-net-income-417545.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 19:30:24 GMT Benjamin O'Henry has owned and operated O'Henry's Data Services since its beginning ten years ago. From all appearances, the business has prospered. In the past few years, you have become friends with O'Henry and his wife. Recently, O'Henry mentioned that he has lost his zest for the business and would consider selling it for the right price. You are interested in buying this business, and you obtain its most recent monthly unadjusted trial balance which follows:

O'Henry's Data Services Unadjusted Trial Balance November 30, 20XX
Cash……………………………… $9,700

Accounts receivable……………………… 7,900

Prepaid expenses………… 2,600

Furniture, fixtures, & equipment 151,300

Accumulated depreciation
$15,600
Accounts payable…………
3,800
Salary payable………………


Unearned service revenue
6,700
Benjamin O'Henry, capital
137,400
Benjamin O'Henry, withdrawals 2,000

Service revenue…………
14,300
Rent expense……………


Salary expense………… 3,400

Utilities expense……… 900

Depreciation expense


Supplies expense……


Total…………………………………………. $177,800 $177,800

Revenues and expenses vary little from month to month, and November is a typical month. Your investigation reveals that the unadjusted trial balance does not include the effects of monthly revenues of $2,100 and monthly expenses totaling $2,750. If you were to buy O'Henry's Data Services, you would hire a manager who would require a monthly salary of $3,000.

The most you would pay for the business is 20 times the monthly net income you could expect to earn from it. Compute this possible price. The least O'Henry will take for the business is his ending capital. Compute this amount. Under these conditions, how much should you offer O'Henry? Give your reason. ]]> japan1911 http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/monthly-net-income-417545.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/journal-entry-accumulated-depreciation-417475.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 16:13:05 GMT Asset A/c $10000, Accumulated Depreciation $15000, Sale value of Asset $10000 Asset A/c $10000, Accumulated Depreciation $15000, Sale value of Asset $10000 ]]> avinashdileep http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/journal-entry-accumulated-depreciation-417475.html http://www.askmehelpdesk.com/finance-accounting/journal-entries-depreciation-expense-417441.html Thu, 19 Nov 2009 14:12:19 GMT XYZ co. purchased equipent on Jan 1 2001, at a cost of 650000.
