1) Wages earned by employees during December (17) and to be paid in January (18) are $35,875; associated payroll taxes on these wages are $2,910. (Record in two separate adjusting entries. The payroll taxes are an expense to the company for unemployment benefits and recorded as a payable to the state & federal taxing authority.)
2) The Unearned Consulting Revenue account has a balance of $261,220 as of December 31, 2017. On May 1, 2017 a client paid CMC $153,000 cash in advance for a 12-month consulting services contract. CMC will earn revenue evenly over this 12-month period. This was the only prepayment received from clients during the entire 2017 fiscal year and recorded with a credit to Unearned Revenue. Of the remaining balance in Unearned Revenue (i.e. at Jan 1 2017), 65% of the work has now been completed by year end.
3) You discover that a sale of a product was made on account and recorded in December for $148,500; the product has not yet been shipped (i.e. delivered to the customer). The cost of the product was 55% of its selling price.CMC uses the perpetual inventory method.
4) Bad debt expense is estimated to be 6% of ending Accounts Receivable. (Round to the nearest whole dollar.)
5) CMC prepays for some insurance and advertising. The Prepaid Expense account has a balance of $26,774 at year end but before adjustment. This balance includes $12,200 for a two-year casualty insurance policy purchased on March 1, 2017. Of the remaining prepaid balance, 60% of the advertising has now been used. (Round to the nearest whole dollar.)
6) CMC records depreciation and amortization expense annually as one compound adjusting journal entry. They do not use an accumulated amortization account. Annual depreciation rates are 7% for Buildings/Equipment/Furniture, no salvage. (Round to the nearest whole dollar.) Annual Amortization rates are 10% of original cost, straight-line method, no salvage. The patent was acquired on October 1, 2015. The last time depreciation & amortization were recorded was December 31, 2016.
7) The long-term liabilities were outstanding for all of 2017 and accrue interest at 8% APR. CMC records accrued interest quarterly (interest was last updated on Sept. 30.) The company is required to pay the interest annually each January 1st.
8) CMC often allows customers to finance the purchase of their products through long-term lending agreements and therefore reports Long-term Notes Receivable on their Balance Sheet. These notes are interest bearing and earn CMC interest revenue. The beginning balance of Interest Receivable at January 1, 2017 was $3,500.
During 2017, cash received from customers for interest on these notes amounted to $17,600. You determine that the income statement for the year-ended December 31, 2017 should show Interest Revenue in the amount of $21,800. The adjusting entry to accrue interest revenue has not yet been recorded.
9) On December 15, CMC declared a dividend of $150,000, to be paid on January 20, 2018. It had not yet been recorded.
10) At December 31, the Long-Term Investments (Available-for-sale securities or AFS) had a fair value of $180,190. The AFS Investment was originally purchased on May 1, 2017 for $160,500. CMC uses a Fair Value Adjustment account (an adjunct/contra account to the Investments) to mark-to-market the investment portfolio at year end. CMCs tax rate is 21%.
11) Income tax is based on a 21% tax rate.
