Nov 17 Beacon applies for credit to the Big Wholesale Lumber Company (BWLC).
Since Beacon is a brand-new business and has no history of operations the
credit manager for the BWLC is at first reluctant to approve the request.
Eventually, after heated discussions, she agrees to a $10,000 limit, provided
that the company's ratio of Debt to Total Assets does not rise above .70, and
that its Current Ratio does not fall below 2.45.
Nov 17 Beacon purchases 20,000 board feet (bd. ft.) of framing lumber from BWLC
at a cost of $.90/bd. ft., (ninety cents per board foot). After reaching its credit
limit, it paid cash for the balance of the purchase.
Nov 18 The Solid Construction Company purchases 3,000 bd. ft. of lumber from Beacon on

lumber for $1,600, paying cash.
Nov 22 John Q. Homeowner purchases 2,000 bd. ft. of lumber for $3,500, paying

quarter. (Hint: your entry should include a credit to Sales Taxes Payable of
