PROJECT DETAILS Sterling Industrial Equipment Inc. is a widely held Canadian corporation that went public 20 years ago. The company trades on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX). Sterling is an industrial supply company. Its products include industrial fasteners, heavy-duty power tools, hand tools, power supplies, adhesives and sealants, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, hoses, safety supplies, welding equipment, and testing equipment. Customers can rent the more expensive hydraulic and pneumatic equipment. These rentals generally range from one day to five weeks. In 20X3 (three years ago), in response to customer demand, Sterling began to sell drilling equipment. This year (20X6), Sterling entered into a longer-term lease of one of its drilling units with one of its regular customers. As the senior accountant at Sterling, you work closely with the company's treasurer and its CFO. You have been asked to help prepare Sterling's December 31, 20X6, financial statements.

The journal entry was as follows: DR Depreciation expense 565,679 DR Depreciation expense - right-of-use asset 338 CR Accumulated depreciation - buildings 362,690 CR Accumulated depreciation - tools and other equipment 78,552 CR Accumulated depreciation - vehicles 16,417 CR Accumulated depreciation - office equipment 4.948 CR Accumulated depreciation - computer equipment 103,072 CR Accumulated depreciation - right-of-use asset 338 Note: Capital cost allowance (CCA) for 20X6 is $681,870.00. The closing balance as at December 31,20X6 in undepreciated capital cost (UCC) is $11,765, 130. No additions were made to the property, plant, and equipment accounts in 20X6.Question 1 (35 marks) Transactional events The following events occurred during Sterling's December 31, 20X6, fiscal year: On August 15, 20X6, Sterling issued a $250,000 note payable; the note bears interest at 7.5% and is payable in one year. Sterling classified the liability at fair value through prot or loss (FVPL) when it recorded the transaction in August because it intends to repurchase (or settle) the note in February 20x7. At December 31, 20X6, the fair value of the note was $252,000. The note is payable to Credit Financier Ltd. (CFL). It cost Sterling $2,500 to issue the note. This amount was expensed. Assume that interest expense for the note has been recorded correctly in the \"interest expense other" account. Seven years ago, in January 20X0, Sterling issued $3,000,000 of 10-year, 9% bonds that pay interest semi-annually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were issued when the market rate was 8%. Bond issuance costs were $200,000. The December 31, 20X6, payment of the semi-annual interest was recorded as a debit to interest expense of $135,000 and a credit to cash of $135,000. In November 20X6, Sterling ordered a bigger motor and heavier-duty pulley and lifting system for its warehouse storage system currently under construction. The larger motor and the enhanced lifting system will enable Sterling to continue using the existing storage system for another seven years. With the current equipment, the system would only last two more years. The total cost of the motor, pulley and lifting system is US$84.000. When Sterling ordered the equipment on October 18, the exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.84. When the equipment was received on December 15, the exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.79. The equipment will be put into operation on January 1, 20x7. The equipment was correctly recorded when received. iv. vi. vii. viii. On December 31, 20X6, the exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.81. On January 13, 20x7, when Sterling paid the invoice, the exchange rate was C$1.00 = US$0.85. Estimates of other charges related to the purchase are as follows: Customs and duties $ 4,500 Transportation $ 3,600 Installation and assembly (to date) $12,300 The invoices for these other charges were not received prior to year end and have not been accrued for. The installation and assembly work is being done by an independent contractor. On December 20, 20X6, the existing motor, pulley and lifting system was sold for $2,500. The original cost of these components was $35,000. They had an expected life of 10 years and an estimated salvage value of $2,000. They had a net book value of $10,250. The cash received was recorded as a gain on sale of $2,500. Installation of the replacement components was not nalized, and the components were not ready for use before year end. Thus, no amortization or capital cost allowance (CCA) are claimed for 20X6 on the replacement component. Sterling's insurance company sent a bill for additional insurance premiums of $350. This bill covers from the December 15 delivery date until the annual policy expires on March 31, 20x7. This bill was paid and the amount expensed. The cost of the policy used should be added to the cost of the asset under construction. Many of the manufacturers whose products Sterling carries provide a warranty. Sterling also provides an additional warranty on several lines/items. Based on experience over the years, the warranty costs average 0.25% of total sales. The provision is accrued quarterly but has not been recorded yet for the fourth quarter of 20X6; fourth-quarter sales were $3,280,000. The accounting staff determined that expenses for the fourth quarter included $6,905 of costs directly attributable to warranty work, bringing the total warranty costs paid by Sterling during 20X6 to $27,311. These costs for the fourth quarter have been charged to the wages. salaries. and benets account. Warranty costs for the rst three quarters are properly recorded. In January 20X6, Sterling purchased land for storage of industrial waste and surplus manufacturing plant supplies, paying $1,500,000. The terms of the permit require Sterling to restore the property for any decontamination from oils, solvents, or other contaminants. Sterling hired an appraiser to provide an estimate of the decommissioning costs; the appraisal report projects decommissioning costs to be $850,000. The discount rate for the obligation is 4%. Sterling expects to use the land for 25 years. Management believes that use of the land for waste and surplus storage will not affect the value of the land once the storage site has been decommissioned and restored as required. The appraisal report supports this view. Sterling began using the land for its intended purpose in January 20X6. In reviewing the trial balance, you notice that the land purchase was recorded, but that the related decommissioning obligation has not been recorded. ix. A competitor, ABC Ltd., is suing Sterling for misusefunauthorized use of ABC's customer list. Sterling hired a former ABC employee, who ABC alleges took its customer list to Sterling. Sterling's legal advisors have estimated that there is a 65% probability that ABC will be successful in its lawsuit. The legal firm believes that if it is successful, there is a 20% probability that ABC will be awarded $500,000. a 55% probability of a $300,000 award, and a 25% chance of a $250,000 award. During the 20X6 scal year, Sterling engaged in several shareholders' equity and nancing transactions. The following are the various transactions that have occurred in the x. xi. xii. xiii. yean On January 1, 20X3, Sterling granted stock options to senior executives that enable them to purchase 80,000 shares. The exercise price was $85 per share, which was the same as the market price on the day the options were granted. The options vest three years after their grant date; employees who leave prior to that date forfeit the options. All of the executives who hold the options still remain with the company. Using an options pricing model, the fair value of the options was determined to be $180,000. All of the options expire at the end of 20X6; none were exercised during 20X5. The estimated forfeiture rate at the end of the year is 0%. The option offering is referred to as ESOP (employee stock option plan) plan 20X3. On March 1, 20X6, 15.000 of the options issued on January 1, 20X3. were exercised; the shares were trading at $112 per share at that time. On October 1, 20X6, a further 5,000 options issued on January 1, 20X3, were exercised. The shares were trading at $127 per share on October 1. The cash received was credited to the \"common shares ESOP p|an 20X3\" account. (Hint: Common shares ESOP plan 20X3 needs to be closed as if it were a contributed surplus account.) This is the second time the company has offered a stock option program to its senior executives. The board of directors and the compensation committee were surprised that only 20,000 of the 30,000 options were exercised. Remaining options expired but there were no entries made for these expired options. In the previous offering (known as ESOP plan 20x1), 50,000 of the available options were exercised before they expired at the end of 20x4. On April 1, zoxs. Sterling granted 100 stock appreciation rights (SARs) each to 252 employees in middle management. Employees who remain with the company for three years are entitled to exercise the SARs on April 1, 20X8. On April 1, 20x5, the benchmark price of the SARs (the market value of the shares) was $90. At the end of 20x5, it was estimated that 65% of the 252 employees will qualify to exercise the SARs. On December 31, 20X6, it was estimated that 60% of the 252 employees will qualify to exercise the SARs. Date Fair value of SARs Market value of shares April 1, 20x5 Not required $ 90.00 December 31 , 20X5 $23.00 $110.00 December 31, 20X6 $26.45 $130.00 xiv.ln January 20X6, Sterling issued $2,000,000 of 20-year, 7%, convertible bonds that pay interest annually on December 31. The bonds were issued when the market rate was 7.5%. Bond issuance costs were $231,000. 15 years after 20X6, the bonds can be converted to ordinary shares at the rate of four $100 bonds for two ordinary shares. The bonds sold for $2,204,771. The sale of the bonds was recorded in Sterling's accounting records as follows: DR Cash 2,204,771 CR Convertible bonds payable 2,204,771 DR Bond transaction expenses 231,000 CR Cash 231,000 Interest payments are due on December 31. Due to a computer problem, the December 31, 20X6, payments were not made. Required: Provide the journal entries for each of the above issues.
