Selected transactions of Shadrach Computer Corporation during November and December of 2016 are as follows:
Nov. | 1 | Borrowed money from the bank by issuing a non-interest-bearing, $40,000, 90-day note. The note is discounted on a 12% basis. |
9 | Sold 100 computers with a 1-year assurance-type warranty for $5,000 each on credit (ignore cost of goods sold). Past experience indicates that warranty costs average $125 per computer. | |
12 | Sold 100 software packages at $300 each on credit (ignore cost of goods sold). With each software package, Shadrach offered a premium in the form of a USB drive for the return of one proof of purchase. The offer expires June 30, 2017. The cost of each USB drive is $5, and Shadrach estimates that 80% of the premiums will be redeemed; therefore, 80 USB drives were purchased on credit. | |
20 | Paid $2,900 in fulfillment of the warranty agreement on several of the computers sold on November 9. | |
30 | Accrued monthly vacation pay. Shadrach has 90 employees who are each paid an average of $160 per day. Shadrach has a policy of allowing each employee 12 days paid vacation per year; the related liability is recorded on a monthly basis. Employees are paid monthly. | |
30 | Paid monthly payroll. Gross salaries were $432,000. No vacations were taken during November. Income tax withholdings of 20% are applicable to the salaries of all employees. A F.I.C.A. tax of 8% for both employees and employers is also applicable. These rates apply to all salaries because no employees salary has exceeded the maximum wage limit. The state allows the corporation a 1% unemployment compensation merit-rating reduction from the normal rate of 5.4%. The federal unemployment rate is 0.6%. Prior to October, each individual employee had accumulated a gross salary in excess of $7,000 for 2016. | |
Dec. | 14 | Twenty proofs of purchase were returned from the November 12 sale. |
29 | An individual filed suit against Shadrach for damages caused in a November 5 accident that resulted when a member of the sales force hit the individuals car while on personal business. The amount of the suit filed was $1,500. Because the employee was on personal business, the companys insurance company will not pay the claim. In Shadrachs attorneys opinion, the amount of the suit is reasonable; furthermore, the company believes it is likely to lose the suit. | |
31 | Accrued monthly vacation pay. | |
31 | Paid monthly payroll. Gross salaries were $435,000. The salaries included $6,800 of vacation pay in the sales force and $3,200 of vacation pay in the office staff. The F.I.C.A. tax rate still applies to all wages because no employees salary exceeded the maximum wage limit. | |
31 | Recorded presidents bonus. The president receives a 10% bonus on any income over $200,000, before deducting income taxes and the bonus. Shadrachs effective income tax rate is 30%, and income before income taxes and bonus for 2016 was $560,000. The bonus will be paid in January 2017. |
