Thankfully, they have been able to hire a fine accounting/finance student from Oakland University. They have provided you with the unadjusted trial balance for Computers R Us Inc. as of 12/31/17. 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. Your task will be to create and record all necessary adjusting, correcting, and reclassification entries so that 2017 financial statements in accordance with US GAAP can be issued. The below information was discovered by reviewing contracts, agreements, correspondence and discussions with management. On the designated worksheet, prepare in journal entry form all adjusting and correcting journal entries based on the following information (round all numbers to the nearest dollar). Letter entries to correspond to the below information and present them in alphabetical order. Add any new accounts as needed to the trial balance. Each entry must be entirely correct to receive allocated points. Before preparing entries, finish the story by filling in the blanks.

Based on your inquiries, you note that $25,000 of accounts receivable had been written off during the year. The clerk had debited bad debt expense for $25,000 and credited Accounts Receivable for $25,000.

The office building was bought in January 1, 2015 and Computers R Us plans to use the building for 40 years and believes it will have a salvage value of $500,000 at the end of 40 years. Computers R Us depreciates the building on a straight line basis. Due to the location of the building and use potential, they are concerned about impairment. At 12/31/2017 it is determined that the future cash flows for the building are $1,350,000. The fair value of the building is $1,300,XXX (last three digits of your student number) at 12/31/2017. j. The office equipment was purchased 1/1/2015 and has not been depreciated for this year. The company uses double declining balance (DDB) depreciation for this item.

They paid an additional $350,000 on March 1st and then the final payment of $150,000 on December 1st. when the building was completed and occupancy occurred. The company has decided to use S/L method for depreciation. The storage building is estimated to have a life of 40 years and a savage value of $1X,XXX. (Enter the last four digits of your student number.) The company depreciates using partial years. m. Computers R Us 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 1.1X (enter last digit of student number). Prior year inventory records show the following calculation for 2016: 275,000 X 1.0 = 275,000 125,000 X 1.08 = 135,000 n. As of 12/31/2017 the Available for Sale Securities have a fair value of $1XX,XXX (enter the last five digits of your student number).

Greedy Bank outstanding all of 2017 with a 3.X % (enter the last digit of your student number). This is a five year loan with interest due annually. Since interest will not be paid to the bank until 1/1/2018, Computers R Us did not accrue any interest. p. On ________1, 2017 (enter your birthday month), Computers R Us recorded a patent in the amount of $55,000. The company paid outside legal fees of $15,000 to have the patent registered. The other $40,000 represents internal costs in developing the patent. The patent is good for 20 years, but the company estimates that the patent will have a useful life of 4 years with no residual value. No one knows what to do with this information so no amortization has been recorded for 2017. Amortization is straight line and the company depreciates using partial years for intangible assets. q.

Sales recorded the last week of December that included the sales tax of X% (enter your birthday month plus 1) amounted to $30,000 r. Computers R Us has a straight tax rate of 28%.
