a$.$ Calculate bad debt

On December $31,$ after many attempts at collecting the outstanding balance of Copper Gallery, the controller decided to write off that balance.

Aylmer calculates bad debt on trade receivables only, not on project receivables. Bad debt is estimated to be:

$0-30$ days $1\%$

$3160$ days $5\%$

$6190$ days $7\mathrm{.}5\%$

$91120$ days $10\%$

Over $120$ days $15\%$

In the excel spreadsheet, see the tab labelled $$Trade Accounts Receivable Detail$$ to perform any necessary calculations. Be sure to write off the balance of Copper Gallery referenced above before doing these calculations.

b$.$ FV$-$NI Investments

At December $31,2023$; the fair value of the short$-$term investments were:

Redemption Corp $$12\mathrm{.}63$ per share

ALM Corp $$23\mathrm{.}98$ per share

In the excel spreadsheet, see the tab $$FV$-$NI Investments$$ to perform any necessary calculations.

c$.$ Prepaid Insurance

The prepaid amount on the trial balance consists of a payment made to State Farm Insurance on October $1,2023.$ The policy lasts $18$ months.

d$.$ Inventory $$ LCM

The company has the policy of stating all inventory on hand at the lower of cost and net

On December $31,2023($after depreciation was recorded$)$; the company traded the Toro lawn mower which was acquired on February $1,2021($asset #$2021-02)$ for a $2014$ Ford F$150.$ In addition to the trade, the company paid $$6,000$ cash for the new truck.

Once this new asset is purchased, do not depreciate it since it was purchased on the last day of the year.

g$.$ Investments $$FV$-$OCI

h$.$ Bank Loan

Interest has to be paid every January $2,$ so the first interest payment is due January $2,2024.$ No principal payments were made during the year. Of the bank loan, $$2,000,000$ is due June $30,2024$ with the remainder due June $30,2029.$
