Answer: D. Longhorn owns the inventory and should report it on its balance sheet.
Explanation:
Goods to be sold on consignment for a company means a company is selling goods for another company and will be paid for their services.
In that case, the company being sold for will retain the ownership of the goods because the company that is selling it for them is simply providing a service.
Angus in this scenario are simply holding the goods to sell it and so do not own the goods. Longhorn should therefore record it in their own books as inventory.
Answer:
B) 280,000; 200,000
Explanation:
Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity
Assets:
Cash $50,000
Accounts receivable $80,000
Inventory $100,000
Gross P&E $730,000
<u>depreciation ($130,000)</u>
total = $830,000
Liabilities:
Accounts payable $12,000
Notes payable $50,000
<u>Long-term debt $218,000 </u>
total = $280,000
Equity = $830,000 - $280,000 = $550,000
Common stock $100,000
Add. paid-in capital $250,000
Retained earnings = $550,000 - $100,000 (common stock) - $250,000 (APIC) = $200,000
Answer: Please see the required journals below:
December 31:
Debit Bad debt expense $6,034
Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $6,034
February 1:
Debit Allowance for doubtful accounts $431
Credit Accounts receivables $431
June 5:
Debit Cash $431
Credit Bad debt recovery (income statement) $431
Explanation: The company estimates its bad debt expense as percentage of sales. In this case 0.7% of its annual sales of $862,000 was deemed as uncollectible, that is, 0.7% x $862,000 = $6,034. The required journals to recognize this bad debt expense is provided above. However, since there was an existing provision, which resides in the allowance account, a write-off would definitely hit that account in order to extinguish the accounts receivable portion. Upon recovery of the write-off, we cannot reinstate the receivable since it was already extinguished but we need to recognize the recovery as a gain.
Answer:
He should set a grantor retained annuity trust (GRAT).
Explanation:
Mr. Bailey would be the grantor that transfers the asset into the GRAT, but retains the right to receive annuity payments for a number of years. The IRS has set a minimum annuity corresponding to the Section 7520 rate, during the last two years the rate has varied from 2-3%. When the trust expires (pays all the annuities), the beneficiary gets the asset tax free.
Since the grantor is giving up an asset but in exchange is receiving an annuity form it, there is no applicable gift tax, it is called a zeroed-out GRAT.
This type of grant makes sense only if the grantor believes that the future value of the asset will be higher than the current value, since the annuity is based on the current value. In this case, Mr. Bailey would receive payments based on a $200,000 value, but the property's fair market value is already higher and should increase as time passes.
