reflected in Unearned Revenue. • WWC’s February 1 inventory balance
consisted of 45 units at a total cost of $3,600. • WWC’s note
payable accrues interest at a 12% annual rate. • WWC will use the
FIFO inventory method and record COGS on a perpetual basis.
February Transactions
02/01 Included in WWC’s February 1 Accounts Receivable balance
is a $1,900 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 $1,900 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 $700 insurance premium covering the month of
February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense.
02/05 An additional 150 units of inventory are purchased on
account by WWC for $9,000 – terms 2/15, n30.
02/05 WWC paid Federal Express $600 to have the 150 units of
inventory delivered overnight. Delivery occurred on 02/06.
02/10 Sales of 120 units of inventory occurred during the period
of 02/07 – 02/10. The sales terms are 2/10, net 30.
02/15 The 40 units that were paid for in advance and recorded in
January are delivered to the customer.
02/15 25 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.
02/16 WWC pays the first 2 weeks wages to the employees. The
total paid is $2,600.
02/17 Paid in full the amount owed for the 2/05 purchase of
inventory. WWC records purchase discounts in the current period
rather than as a reduction of inventory costs.
02/18 Wrote off a customer’s account in the amount of
$1,200.
02/19 $3,400 of rent for January and February was paid. Because
all of the rent will soon expire, the February portion of the
payment is charged directly to expense.
02/19 Collected $8,400 of customers’ Accounts Receivable. Of the
$8,400, the discount was taken by customers on $5,500 of account
balances; therefore WWC received less than $8,400.
02/26 WWC recovered $440 cash from the customer whose account
had previously been written off (see 02/18).
02/27 A $700 utility bill for February arrived. It is due on
March 15 and will be paid then.
02/28 WWC declared and paid a $400 cash dividend.
Adjusting Entries:
02/29 Record the $2,600 employee salary that is owed but will be
paid March 1.
02/29 WWC decides to use the aging method to estimate
uncollectible accounts. WWC determines 8% of the ending balance is
the appropriate end of February estimate of uncollectible
accounts.
02/29 Record February interest expense accrued on the note
payable.
02/29 Record one month’s interest earned Kit Kat’s note (see
02/01).
