Sideline Company reported net income for 2013 of $70,000 and in 2014 of $84,000 (both after income taxes at a 30% rate). It was discovered in 2014 that the ending inventory for 2013 was understated by $2,000 (before any income tax effect). Calculate the correct net income (after income tax of 30%) for 2013 and 2014 2014

LIFO RESERVE:
QV-TV, Inc. provided the following items in their footnotes for the year-end 2010: Cost of goods sold was $22 billion under FIFO costing and their inventory value under FIFO costing was $2.1 billion. The LIFO Reserve for year-end 2009 was a $0.6 billion credit balance and at year-end 2010 it had increased to a credit balance of $0.8 billion. How much is LIFO inventory value at year-end 2010? How much is 2010 COGS expense under LIFO?

Sample A/R and Bad Debt Expense Problem:


Burnap Company has performed the following year-end analysis of its accounts receivable:
Total 1-30 Days $72,000 $45,000 31-60 Days $14,000 61-90 Days $8,000 Over 90 days $5,000

The company had sales of $850,000 of which 20% were cash sales. As of year-end, the balance in Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts before adjusting for bad debts was a $400 credit. Burnap Company has estimated the following bad debts percentages:
1-30 days 31-60 days 61-90 days Over 90 days Total Credit Sales 6% 15% 40% 75% 1.5%

1. Provide the journal entry for bad debt expense using Aging of A/R method and provide the A/R presentation on the B/S 2. Provide the journal entry for bad debt expense using Percentage of Credit Sales method and provide the A/R presentation on the B/S

Balance Sheet

Hewitt Company had sales during February 20X5 of $29,000. During the month, the company had purchases of $17,000. At February 1, 20X5, the company had inventory of $4,500. Assuming the company has a gross profit percentage of 40%, what is the estimated ending inventory for Hewitt Company at February 28, 20X5?

Sales Cost of goods sold equation: Begin Inventory, Feb 1 +Purchases =Cost of goods available for sale -End Inventory, Feb 28 (Plug) =Cost of goods sold, 60% of $29,000 Gross Profit Percentage, 40% of $29,000

$29,000 $4,500 $17,000 $21,500 x? = 4,100 17,400

$ 11,600

Warranty Liability
At the beginning of 20X4, Computers R Us had a liability for warranties of $17,500 on the books. During 20X4, Computers R Us had sales of $205,000. The company estimates that the cost of servicing products under warranty will average 2.5% of sales. Expenditures (all in cash) to satisfy warranty claims during 20X4 were $4,800, of which $2,500 was for products sold in 20X4. Compute the December 31, 20X4, ending balance in the Liability for Warranties account.

Beginning balance Additions for 20X4 sales Reductions for services provided

$17,500 5,125 (4,800) $17,825

Given the following data, what is cost of goods sold as determined under the LIFO vs. FIFO method :

Sales Beginning inventory Purchases

350 units at $35 per unit 140 units at $15 per unit 400 units at $20 per unit

COGS using LIFO methodology: prices assigned are most recent purchases 350 units sold * $20 = 7,000 COGS using FIFO methodology: prices assigned are oldest purchases (140 units sold * $15 = 2,100) + (210 units * $20= 4,200) = 6,300
