February Transactions | |
02/01 | Included in WWCs February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,700 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 $1,700 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 $600 insurance premium covering the month of February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense. |

02/15 | 15 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. |
