Investors provide $20 million in financing to start up the company. Each ship costs $5 million and on average can complete 10 voyages, unless it is sunk by storms, hazards, or pirates. . Operating costs for each voyage are $1 million to pay for the crew's wages and to stock the ship with inventories and supplies. The company must pay for these costs in advance because the goods and the crew may perish at sea. A successful voyage returns usually within a year, (sometimes longer depending on weather conditions), with goods that can be sold for $5 million. For accrual reporting, the company records the cost of products shipped out and traded in exchange for products from Asia when the Asian products are sold at the home port. Similarly, the company records the cost of supplies and wages, as well as depreciation when ship returns home. When the company receives information about the sinking of one of its ships, the company writes off the recorded value of that ship and expenses any inventories, prepaid wages, and prepaid supplies on the books. In addition, assume that the remaining ships are sold for $3.5 million each just before the end of Year 4, in preparation for the dissolution of the company.Consider the following hypothetical series of trading voyages, additional facts, and Year 1 and Year 2 financial statements for Tradewinds Company.
