Narrative and Instructions | ||||||
Rockford Corporation is a wholesale plumbing supply distributor. The corporation was organized | ||||||
in 1981, under the laws of the State of Illinois, with an authorized capitalization of 10,000 shares | ||||||
of no-par common stock with a stated value of $30 per share. The common stock is sold over the | ||||||
the counter in the local area. You have been hired as of Thursday, December 25, 2014, to replace the | ||||||
controller, who has resigned. As controller, you are responsible for the corporation's accounting | ||||||
recrods, preparation of the financial statements, safeguarding the corporate assets, and providing | ||||||
management with financial information to set prices and to monitor and control operations. | ||||||
Rockford Corporation closes its books annually on December 31 but prepares financial statements | ||||||
quarterly. Adjusting entries are posted to the general ledger only at year-end; at the end of the | ||||||
first, second, and third quarter the adjustments are entered only on a work sheet, not in the general | ||||||
ledger. Therefore, the adjusting entries to be recorded on December 31 are annual adjustments that | ||||||
you must journalize and the post to the general ledger accounts before preparing the financial | ||||||
statements. | ||||||
Rockford Corporation maintains a perpetual inventory system and takes a physical count each year | ||||||
to adjust the inventory carrying amount. Purchases are recorded at the gross amount (discounts | ||||||
taken are recognized at the date of payment) of the supplier's invoice, and the terms vary with | ||||||
each supplier. Sales on account are subject to terms of 2/10, n/30. Discounts are taken and granted | ||||||
only when the terms are met. The cost of all inventory sold in December was 80% of the sales price. | ||||||
The corporation uses the following journals and ledgers: | ||||||
Journals | ||||||
1. A sales journal (S) - to record sales of merchandise on account. | ||||||
2. A purchase journal (P)- to record purchases of merchandise on account. | ||||||
3. A cash receipts journal (CR) - to record all cash receipts. | ||||||
4. A cash disbursements journal (CD) - to record all cash payments. | ||||||
5. A general journal (J) - to record all transacitons that cannot be recorded in the other journals. | ||||||
Ledgers | ||||||
1. A general ledger | ||||||
2. An accounts receivable subsidiary ledger. | ||||||
3. An accounts payable subsidiary ledger. | ||||||
In recording sales transactions, each sale should be posted on the day of the sale directly to the | ||||||
customer's account in the subsidiary ledger, using the invoice number as the posting reference | ||||||
number in the subsidiary account. Also, cash receipts from customers should be posted to the | ||||||
subsidiary ledger on the day they are received. The purchase order number should be used as | ||||||
the posting reference number in the subsidiary ledger for purchases on account from suppliers. | ||||||
Purchases from suppliers and payments to them should be posted daily. All other individual posting | ||||||
may be made weekly or at the month-end. Account numbers should be used as posting reference | ||||||
numbers in the journals. Officers and office personnel are salaried employees and are paid monthly | ||||||
on the last day of each month. The delivery truck drivers and warehouse employees are hourly wage | ||||||
employees and are paid biweekly. Each biweekly pay period ends Friday. On the following Monday | ||||||
you assistants provide you with a payroll summary from which you prepare general journal entries | ||||||
to record the biweekly payroll and the employer's taxes on the payroll. The biweekly employees' | ||||||
paychecks are distributed on the following day (Tuesday). | ||||||
The January 1, 2014, balances appear in the general ledger accounts as well as the Noverber 30, 2014, | ||||||
balances, for those accounts whose balances have changed. All transacitons affecting the non- | ||||||
current accounts from January 1, 2014, through Noverber 30, 2014, with explanations, appear in | ||||||
these accounts to facilitate the preparation of the statement of cash flows. | ||||||
