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 $ 21,320 Unearned Revenue (45 units) $ 5,250
Accounts Receivable $ 12,350 Accounts Payable (Jan Rent) $ 3,100
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts $ (1,800) Notes Payable $ 15,000
Inventory (50 units) $ 4,250 Contributed Capital $ 6,800
Retained Earnings Feb 1, 2012 $ 5,970

WWC establishes a policy that it will sell inventory at $175 per unit.
In January, WWC received a $5,250 advance for 45 units, as reflected in Unearned Revenue.
WWCs February 1 inventory balance consisted of 50 units at a total cost of $4,250.
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

Included in WWCs February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,600 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 $1,600 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.
