ABC must provide the bank with the reviewed financial statements within 60 days of its year end. It is now in early January 2020, you are a CPA from a local accounting firm and will conduct a review of the ABCs financial statements. You received a memo from the ABCs management including the following accounting issues:

1. Super Software Co. (SSC), an ABCs neighbour, is a software development company with high growth in recent years. On August 15, 2019, SSC signed a contract with ABC that SSCs employees can pick up a lunch package every working day for one year beginning on September 1, 2019 for a yearly fee of $120,000, with 50% payable upfront. The fee is non-refundable, non-cancellable, and not dependent on the number of lunch packages picked up. When the contract was signed, ABC credited revenue for $120,000 and debited both cash and accounts receivable for $60,000 each.

2. During November 2019, ABC paid $10,000 to purchase frozen chicken meat from Fresh Meat Butcher (FMB), a small meat supplier in financial difficulty. ABC has not begun to use the FMBs frozen chicken meat in producing lunch packages so far. In December 2019, there was an allegation that FMBs chicken meat could be polluted in the production process. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency is now investigating this allegation, and the outcome is uncertain.

3. In December 2019, ABC just began to sell frozen lunch packages. To promote this new product, ABC signed contracts with stores, which specify that the actual number of packages sold to stores depends on the number of packages bought by consumers before the expiry date of packages. ABC has delivered 10,000 frozen lunch packages to stores by the end of 2019, with a price of $3.50 per package. The unit cost of frozen lunch packages is $1.50. ABCs suggested retail price of this lunch package is $6.00 per package.

4. In October 2019, ABC launched a loyalty program. According to the program, consumers can earn one point for buying an ordinary lunch package (excluding frozen lunch packages), and can redeem 20 points for an ordinary lunch package in stores. ABC first uses packages purchased by stores for the redemption and then deducts them from its sales. On December 31, 2019, stores reported that they had sold 50,000 ordinary lunch packages to consumers at $7 per package since the beginning of the loyalty program, and that consumers had redeemed 6,000 points. Ordinary lunch packages are sold to stores at $4.00 per package. The cost of ordinary lunch packages is $1.80 per package.

Required: You are asked to provide a report to the ABCs management to analyze these accounting issues.
