Accounting Creations Incorporated creates accounting games and literature to enhance accounting education and financial literacy. Their business has been quite successful since their incorporation in January 1, 2016.

They have provided you with the unadjusted trial balance for DeeDee Double Entry Incorporated as of 12/31/18. The previous accountant recorded all original entries involving cash, etc. during the year. However, at year-end the previous accountant would make all necessary adjusting/reclassification journal entries so that the principles of US GAAP were followed.

The future expansion will not occur for several more years.

The company depreciates using partial years (Hint: (1) only consider depreciation expense after the completion of the construction; (2) use the avoidable interest computed from i).

Accounting Creations uses the Dollar Value LIFO inventory method. For internal purposes, the Merchandise Inventory Account is maintained at FIFO (current costs). At the end of the year, the LIFO reserve account is adjusted so inventory on the balance sheet reflects Dollar Value LIFO. You need to calculate the proper inventory balance and adjust the LIFO reserve. The price index for this year is 1.26. Prior year inventory records show the following calculation for 2018:

175,000 X 1.0 = 175,000

100,000 X 1.05 = 105,000

Accounting Creations started to lease some new retail space in 2018 and added shelving and fixtures to this leased space.

The leasehold improvements have a useful life of 15 years with a salvage value of $15,000.

To date, 8,000 customers have sent in the rebate and $16,000 has been refunded. 16,000 rebates have been refunded. Without any direction, the accounting clerk debited Miscellaneous Selling Expense and credited Cash for the $16,000. The management of Accounting Creations would prefer to have this type of expense in a separate account (Rebate Expense) so they can properly analyze for future ideas.
