Project 2: Review of Merchandising Cycle

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Wallys Widget Company (WWC) incorporated near the end of 2011. Operations began in January of 2012. WWC prepares adjusting entries and financial statements at the end of each month. Balances in the accounts at the end of January are as follows:

Cash $ 20,720 Unearned Revenue (25 units) $ 5,050
Accounts Receivable $ 11,750 Accounts Payable (Jan Rent) $ 2,700
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ (1,600) Notes Payable $ 13,000
Inventory (30 units) $ 2,550 Contributed Capital $ 6,400
Retained Earnings Feb 1, 2012 $ 6,270

WWC establishes a policy that it will sell inventory at $170 per unit.
In January, WWC received a $5,050 advance for 25 units, as reflected in Unearned Revenue.
WWCs February 1 inventory balance consisted of 30 units at a total cost of $2,550.
WWCs note payable accrues interest at a 12% annual rate.
WWC will use the FIFO inventory method and record COGS on a perpetual basis.

February Transactions
02/01

Included in WWCs February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $2,000 account due from Kit Kat, a WWC customer. Kit Kat is having cash flow problems and cannot pay its balance at this time. WWC arranges with Kit Kat to convert the $2,000 balance to a note, and Kit Kat signs a 6-month note, at 12% annual interest. The principal and all interest will be due and payable to WWC on August 1, 2012.

02/02

WWC paid a $750 insurance premium covering the month of February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense.

02/05

02/15

20 units of the inventory that had been sold on 2/10 are returned to WWC. The units are not damaged and can be resold. Therefore, they are returned to inventory. Assume the units returned are from the 2/05 purchase.

02/16 WWC pays the first 2 weeks wages to the employees. The total paid is $2,200.
02/17

Paid in full the amount owed for the 2/05 purchase of inventory. WWC records purchase discounts in the current period rather than as a reduction of inventory costs.

02/18 Wrote off a customers account in the amount of $1,700.
02/19

$5,400 of rent for January and February was paid. Because all of the rent will soon expire, the February portion of the payment is charged directly to expense.

02/19
