Wuxcik Co. is a retailing business operating in the southeastern US. Wuxcik's fiscal year-end is December 31 , and it prepares financial statements just once a year, at year-end. The company has already recorded most of its transaction and adjusting entries for the year ended December 31,2022. The resulting trial balance follows: Wuxcik has not yet recorded certain transactions and adjustments, and these omitted items are the focus of this assignment. Information pertaining to the omitted transactions and adjustments follows: Omitted Transactions T1. On December 31, 2022, Wuxcik engaged in an exchange of buildings with AAA Co. The following information pertains to the building each company owned immediately before the exchange: In addition, Wuycik received $12,180 cash from AAA. Assume the exchange of buildings has commercial substance. T2. On December 31,2022, Wuycik engaged in another exchange of buildings, this one with ZZZ Co. The following information pertains to the building each company owned immediately before the exchange: In addition, Wuxcik received $32,828 cash from ZZZ. Assume this exchange of buildings lacks commercial substance. T3. Wuxcik purchased equipment on December 31,2022. The company gave a down payment of $5,250 and signed a 7-year promissory note for the balance due. The note requires Wuxcik to make annual payments of $4,979 with the first payment due on December 31,2023 . The prevailing market rate of interest for comparable notes is 9%. Omitted Adjustments A1. On January 2, 2022, Wuycik received a promissory note from a customer as consideration in an inventory sale transaction. Wuycik recorded the sale, but it has not yet recorded the interest earned on the note during 2022 . The 4%,$33,625 term note requires the customer to pay interest annually each January 1,2023 through 2025. The relevant market rate of interest on the issue date was 8%. A2. Wuycik purchased its buildings in 2012 and its equipment in 2015. Wuxcik uses the straight-line depreciation method. For the buildings, the company uses an estimated life of 36 years and no salvage value. For the equipment, it uses an estimated life of 9 years and no salvage value. (Note - For the 2022 depreciation calculations, ignore the new fixed assets Wuxcik acquired on December 31,2022 - the new buildings and equipment received in T1, T2 and T3. Do consider the old buildings Wuxcik gave in T1 and T2, though, as the company used these assets for the full year. You should assume that Wuxcik computed the 2022 depreciation on them for T1 and T2, but has not yet recorded the amounts.) A3. The Notes Payable balance of $759,320 results from two loans the company has taken. On May 1, 2021, Wuxcik took a 5-year, 5\%, \$635,320 loan. The interest on this loan is payable annually, on each April 30. Also, on June 1, 2022, Wuxcik took a 1-year, 8%,$124,000 construction loan (see A5 below). The interest on the construction loan is payable on the loan's maturity date, May 31,2023. (Note - Wuxcik already recorded the interest paid on these loans in 2022. For this adjustment, consider any accrued interest on the loans at the December 31, 2022 reporting date.) A4. On October 29,2022 , Wuycik received $51,210 from a customer as payment in advance for goods to be delivered over the next 8 months.
