Read ALL instructions
before getting started!

ABC Corporation is a new company that buys and
sells office supplies. Business began
on January 1, 2012.

Given on the first two tabs are ABC’s 12/31/12
Unadjusted Trial Balance and a list of needed adjustments.

1. Make
all 16 adjustments on the “Adjusting Journal Entries” tab. Remember to include a description under
each journal entry.

2. Post
the adjustments to the general ledger on the “12-31-12 T-Accounts”
tab. You may have to add T-Accounts
for new accounts.

Link
your T-Account entries to your Journal Entries. PLEASE NOTE THAT THE “BB”
(BEGINNING BALANCES) FOR THE

T-ACCOUNTS REPRESENT THE UNADJUSTED BALANCES AS OF 12/31/12.

3. Once
the 12/31/12 T-Accounts are complete, prepare the Adjusted Trial
Balance. There may be some accounts
with zero dollars, and you

may
have to insert lines for new accounts (some blank T-Accounts have already
been provided for you). Link the
Adjusted Trial Balance to your T-Accounts.

4. Use
the Adjusted Trial Balance numbers to complete the Income Statement,
Statement of Retained Earnings, Balance Sheet, and Statement of Cash Flows.

For
purposes of the Income Statement, prepare using the multiple step
format
and assume that Rent Revenue, any Unrealized Holding
Gains/Losses,

Interest Expense, Interest Revenue, and any other Gains/Losses are NOT
part of the major central ongoing operations of the company.

Link your financial statements to your Adjusted Trial Balance. Use the Income Statement and Balance Sheet
to finish the partially completed Statement

of
Cash Flows. Since this is ABC’s
first year of operations, several line items on the Statement of Cash Flows have
already been supplied to you
.

If
necessary, review financial statement preparation in Chapters 4 and 5 of your
textbook for a quick refresher. Plan
on using your knowledge gained in

completing Chapter 23 to help with the preparation of the Statement of
Cash Flows. Additionally, since
this is ABC Corporation’s first year of operations,

the
adjusted trial balance for all current assets and liabilities represents the
change during the year for Statement of Cash Flows analysis purposes.

5. When
the Financial Statements are complete, make the closing entries on the
“Closing Entries” tab being mindful of the four closing entries
you’ve learned.

6. When
closing entries have been made, post the entries to the general ledger on the
“Post-Close T-Accounts” tab.
Make sure your adjusting

journal entries are also posted on your Post-Close T-Accounts. They will not automatically flow from
tab-to-tab. Suggestion: As an alternative, after you’ve

finished posting your adjusting journal entries to the accounts in the
“12-31-12 T Accounts” tab, make a duplicate of this worksheet to
use for posting your

closing entries and then just relabel the tab as “Post-Close
T-Accounts.” Just be sure to
delete the original “Post-Close T-Accounts” tab already in the

workbook before you do this since you can’t have two worksheets with
the same name.

7. The
final step is the Post-Closing Trial Balance, which will use the ending
balances from the 1/1/13 T-Accounts.

8.
Double-check your work. Here
are a few things to check for:

-Adjusted Trial Balance: Make sure debit column and credit column total
to the same figure at the bottom.

-Net income from the income statement will
flow through to the Statement of Retained Earnings.

-Ending Retained Earnings from the Statement
of Retained Earnings will flow through to the Balance Sheet.

-Ending Cash balance from the Balance Sheet
should match your ending Cash balance on the Statement of Cash Flows.

-The Post-Closing Trial Balance should not
have any revenue, expense, gain, loss, or other temporary accounts.

-Check figure 1: Income from operations = $251,056.

-Check figure 2: Income before income taxes = $221,477.

-Check figure 3: Total Assets = $1,719,716.

-Check figure 4: Cash flow used by operating activities =
$36,860.

-Check figure 5: Adjusted Trial Balance debit and credit
columns total $2,364,180.

-Remember:
Neatness matters in Financial Statements. Print or Print Preview before submitting to
make sure your statements are neat.

Otherwise, management may send back to you for
revision!

-Include your work at the bottom of each tab
as needed.

-Ask questions prior to the day/night before
the due date. The due date is clearly
indicated on the course schedule.

-Utilize formulas and worksheet linkings in
your financial statements to improve accuracy and save time in completing the
assignment.

-Please take advantage of Excel by using
formulas to calculate groups of numbers (i.e. “Total Liabilities and
Stockholders’ Equity”).

Final comments: This project is intended to make sure that
you understand the accounting cycle as well as several key financial
accounting transactions that you have

studied during your
Intermediate Accounting series. It is very
important to take the necessary time on this project to master these
concepts. The concepts mastered in
this

comprehensive problem
will serve you well in Advanced Accounting and the rest of your accounting
curriculum.

1 On March
1, ABC purchased a one-year liability insurance policy for $72,000.

Upon
purchase, the following journal entry was made:

Dr
Prepaid insurance 72,000

Cr
Cash 72,000

The
expired portion of insurance must be recorded as of 12/31/12.

Notice
that the expired portion from March through November has been recorded already.

Make
sure that the Prepaid Insurance balance after the adjusting entry is correct.

2 Depreciation
expense must be recorded for the month of December.

The
building was purchased with cash on February 1, 2012 for $108,000 with a
remaining useful life of 30 years and a salvage value of $5,400.

The
method of depreciation for the building is straight-line.

The
equipment was purchased with cash on February 1, 2012 for $51,900 with a
remaining useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $1,000.

The
method of depreciation for the equipment is double-declining balance.

Depreciation
has been recorded for the building and equipment for months February through
November.

3 On
December 1, XYZ Co. agreed to rent space in ABC’s building for $10,000 per
month,

and XYZ
paid ABC on December 1 in advance for the first three months’ rent.

The
entry made on December 1 was as follows:

Dr
Cash 30,000

Cr
Unearned rent revenue 30,000

The
unearned revenue account must be adjusted to reflect the amount earned as of
12/31/12.

4 Per
timecards, from the last payroll date through December 31, 2012, ABC’s
employees have worked a total of 250 hours.

Including
payroll taxes, ABC’s wage expense averages about $50 per hour. The next payroll date is January 5, 2013.

The
liability for wages payable must be recorded as of 12/31/12.

5 On
November 30, 2012, ABC borrowed $150,000 from American National Bank by issuing
an interest-bearing note payable.

This
loan is to be repaid in three months (on February 28, 2013), along with
interest computed at an annual rate of 6%.

The
entry made on November 30 to record the borrowing was: (for Statement of Cash
Flow purposes, consider a financing item)

Dr
Cash 150,000

Cr
Notes payable 150,000

On
February 28, 2013 ABC must pay the bank the amount borrowed plus interest.

Assume
the beginning balance for Notes Payable is correct.

Interest
through 12/31/12 must be accrued on the$150,000 note.

6 ABC uses
a periodic inventory system, and the ending inventory for each year is
determined by taking a complete

physical
inventory at year-end. A physical count
was taken on December 31, 2012, and the inventory on-hand at

that
time totaled $165,000.

Record
the 2012 Cost of Goods Sold and the 12/31/12 Inventory adjustment. (This includes closing Purchases.)

7 It would
be unusual for a company to have an asset impairment in Year 1, but for the
sake of this example, ABC realized

that
their intangible asset might be impaired on December 31, 2012. Record the impairment if any.

The
expected future net cash flows for this intangible asset totals $25,000, and
the fair value of the asset is $20,000.

8 On
7/1/12, ABC purchased 5,000 shares of its own stock from existing stockholders
as treasury stock. The cost of the
treasury

stock
was $5 per share, or $25,000 in total.
The effects of this transaction are already shown in the unadjusted
trial balance. On 12/31/12,

ABC
reissued these 5,000 shares of treasury stock at $7 per share. Record the journal entry required for the
reissuance of the treasury stock.

9 On
12/31/12, ABC issued 4,500 shares of $1 par value common stock at the closing
market price of $8 per share. Prepare
ABC’s journal entry

to reflect the issuance of the stock on
12/31/12.

10 On 7/1/12,
ABC sold 12% bonds having a maturity value of $1,000,000 for $1,077,214,
resulting in an effective yield of 10%.
The bonds are

dated
7/1/12, and mature 7/1/17. Interest is
payable semiannually on July 1 and January 1.
ABC uses the effective interest method of

amortization
for bond premium or discount. Record the
adjusting entry for the accrual of interest and the related amortization on
12/31/12.

Hint: Develop an abbreviated amortization schedule
to accurately determine the interest expense.

11 The
following information is available for ABC Corporation at 12/31/12 regarding
its investments in stocks of other companies.

Securities Cost Fair Value

2,000
shares of Toyota Corporation Common Stock
$100,000 $115,000

1,000
shares of G.M. Corporation Common Stock $70,000 $67,500

$170,000 $182,500

Prepare
the adjusting entry (if any) for 2012, assuming the securities are classified
as trading.

12 On 1/1/12,
ABC Corporation purchased, as a held-to-maturity investment, $150,000 of the
9%, 5-year bonds of Intuit Corporation for $138,913,

which
provides an 11% return. Prepare ABC’s
12/31/12 journal entry to reflect the receipt of annual interest and discount
amortization.

Assume
the bond investment pays interest annually on 12/31 each year and that
effective interest amortization is used.

13 ABC
Corporation prepares an aging schedule on 12/31/12 that estimates total
uncollectible accounts at $20,000.
Assuming that the allowance method is used,

prepare
the entry to record bad debt expense.

14 On 1/1/12,
ABC Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for a delivery
vehicle. The terms of the lease called
for ABC to Corporation to make

annual
payments of $8,668 at the beginning of each year, starting January 1,
2012. The delivery vehicle has an
estimated useful life of 6 years and a $5,000

unguaranteed
residual value. The delivery vehicle
reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. ABC Corporation uses the straight-line method

of
depreciation for the delivery vehicle.
ABC Corporation’s incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the Lessor’s
implicit rate is unknown. No entries
have yet

been
made concerning this lease arrangement.
After determining the type of lease arrangement (capital or operating),
prepare the necessary multiple-part journal

entry
for 2012 for ABC Corporation.
(Hints: You will need to compute
the present value of the minimum lease payments and 4 separate sub-entries for

this
lease transaction. Also, for Statement
of Cash Flow purposes, the principal portion of lease payments are correctly
categorized as a financing activity.)

15 ABC
Corporation provides a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. A combination adjusting entry should be made
to correctly account for this type of pension

plan
given the following items of information for the 2012 plan year, including the
recording of pension expense and the employer’s contribution to the pension
plan in 2012.

Pension
asset/liability (January 1) $0

Actual
return on plan assets $10,000

Expected
return on plan assets $10,000

Contributions
(funding) in 2012 $25,000

Fair
value of plan assets (December 31) $35,000

Settlement
rate 10%

Projected
benefit obligation (January 1) $0

Service
cost $22,500

Benefits
paid in 2012 $0

*For
purposes of financial statement presentation, consider Pension Expense as an
operating item and any resulting Pension Asset/Liability as long-term in
nature.

Do this
step after preparing the Income Statement except for the Income taxes line:

16 Corporate
taxes are due in four estimated quarterly payments on April 15, June 15,
September 15, and December 15.

However,
for the purposes of this ABC illustration, we will assume that estimates are
not paid, and that the tax is paid in full

on the
return’s March 15, 2013 due date.

ABC’s
income tax rate is 35%. The entire
year’s income tax expense was estimated at the beginning of 2012 to be $72,000,

so
January through November income tax expense recognized amounts to $66,000
(11/12 months).

Since
we are assuming estimates are not made during the year, the balance in Income
taxes payable represents

tax
accrued for January through November.
Assume no deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities.

Based
on the income before income taxes figure from the income statement, record
December’s income tax expense

so that
the entire year’s tax expense is correct.
