Munroes Sports Store (MSS) is located in a small town in rural Saskatchewan. The store focuses on selling skates, hockey equipment, and skate sharpening services. In late November, the stores bookkeeper needed to go in for surgery which required the owner, Dale Munroe, to complete what he could for the month of December. He has asked you to assist with some of the transactions for December as well as any adjusting journal entries that are needed as of December 31, 2019. He is also asking for help in completing the accounting cycle by preparing the year-end financial statements.
The following is the unadjusted trial balance provided by Dale for the year ending December 31, 2019, which includes all December transactions with the exception of those on the next page that Dale needs assistance with.
Transactions for December 2019
Dale requires assistance with completing the following transactions that occurred in December as he was uncertain as to how to record the below items:
- Dec 1- Dale found a great deal on a new skate-sharpening machine and purchased it for $25,000 cash. It is expected that the new skate-sharpening machine will sharpen 110,000 pairs of skates during its 10-year useful life and have a salvage value of $3,000.
- Also on December 1, Dale decided to sell his old skate-sharpening machine for $8,000 cash. The store purchased this skate sharpening equipment on January 1, 2018, and paid $14,000. The equipment was deemed to have a 4-year useful life and a $2,000 salvage value. Dale chose to depreciate the equipment straight line over 4 years. The depreciation for the 2019 fiscal year has not yet been recorded. (Hint: you will need to update the depreciation before recording the sale.)
- Dec 6 - Sold $10,600 of hockey equipment and apparel to Lions Midget Hockey Team on account with terms 2/10,n/30. The cost of the equipment to MSS was $7,400.
- Dec 7 The coach of the Lions Midget Hockey Team complained that 5 of the jerseys purchased on Dec 6 had small imperfections in the stitching. MSS provided them with a $600 allowance.
- Dec 11 - Purchased on account, hockey equipment and skates (inventory) in the amount of $45,000 with terms 2/10, n/30.
- Dec 15 Received payment in full from the Lion Midget Hockey Team.
- Dec 19 Paid for the hockey equipment purchased on Dec 11.
- Dec 31 Received an invoice from Sasktel in the amount of $500 for phone and internet usage for the month of December. This amount has not been recorded or paid.
Other Information (2019 Adjusting Journal Entry Details)
- Sharpening Supplies (grinding rings, etc) on hand at December 31st had a cost of 2,500.
- Prepaid Expenses balance represents rent that covers MSS from October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020. No adjustments have been made since the original entry.
- Wages The last payment for wages was on December 20, 2019. There are eight remaining working days in December and MSS pays wages of $400 per day.
- Depreciation on the new skate sharpening equipment has not yet been recorded. During the month of December 850 pairs of skates were actually sharpened.
- On January 2, 2019, new computer software for the inventory system was purchased costing 5,000. The estimated life of the software is 8 years. It was decided to depreciate the software using the double declining balance method and a salvage value of $1,000. The depreciation for the 2019 fiscal year had not yet been recorded.
- You informed Dale that to follow generally accepted accounting principles, the financial statements should have an allowance made for estimated uncollectible accounts. It was decided that the aging method of receivables would be best. Thus, the balance of the accounts receivable would be aged as follows: (1) $150,000 @ 1-30 days old 3% uncollectible, (2) $40,000 @ 31-90 days old 10% uncollectible, (3) $25,000 more than 90 days old 40% uncollectible. These amounts already include any sales returns, allowance and discounts that occurred.
- The tax rate for MSS is 30%.
