[AICPA adapted] General problems
1. Investor Company owns 40% of Alimand Corporation. During the calendar year, Alimand had net earnings of $100,000 and paid dividends of $10,000. Investor mistakenly recorded these transactions using the cost method rather than the equity method of accounting. What effect would this have on the investment account, net earnings, and retained earnings, respectively?

2. The corporation exercises control over an affiliate in which it holds a 40% common stock interest. If its affiliate completed a fiscal year profitably but paid no dividends, how would this affect the investor corporation?

3. An investor uses the cost method to account for an investment in common stock. A portion of the dividends received this year were in excess of the investor’s share of investee’s earnings after the date of the investment. The amount of dividends revenue that should be reported in the investor’s income statement for this year would be:

4. On January 1 Grade Company paid $300,000 for 20,000 shares of Medium Company’s common stock, which represents a 15% investment in Medium. Grade does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over Medium. Medium declared and paid a dividend of $1 per share to its stockholders during the year. Medium reported net income of $260,000 for the year ended December 31. The balance in Grade’s balance sheet account “Investment in Medium Company” at December 31 should be

5. On January 2, 2006, Troquel Corporation bought 15% of Zafacon Corporation’s capital stock for $30,000. Troquel accounts for this investment by the cost method. Zafacon’s net income for the years ended December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2007, were $10,000 and $50,000, respectively. During 2007 Zafacon declared a dividend of $70,000.

6. Pare purchased 10% of Tot Company’s 100,000 outstanding shares of common stock on January 2 for $50,000. On December 31, Pare purchased an additional 20,000 shares of Tot for $150,000. There was no goodwill as a result of either acquisition, and Tot had not issued any additional stock during the year. Tot reported earnings of $300,000 for the year. What amount should Pare report in its December 31 balance sheet as investment in Tot?

7. On January 1, Point purchased 10% of Iona Company’s common stock. Point purchased additional shares, bringing its ownership up to 40% of Iona’s common stock outstanding, on August 1. During October, Iona declared and paid a cash dividend on all of its outstanding common stock. How much income from the Iona investment should Point’s income statement report?

8. On January 2, Kean Company purchased a 30% interest in Pod Company for $250,000. On this date, Pod’s stockholders’ equity was $500,000. The carrying amounts of Pod’s identifiable net assets approximated their fair values, except for land, whose fair value exceeded its carrying amount by $200,000. Pod reported net income of $100,000 and paid no dividends. Kean accounts for this investment using the equity method. In its December 31 balance sheet, what amount should Kean report as investment in subsidiary?

Most of the accounting records were destroyed, but the following account balances were determined as of March 31, 2008: Merchandise Inventory, January 1, 2008, $80,000; Sales (January 1–March 31, 2008), $180,000; Purchases (January 1–March 31, 2008) $94,000. The company’s fiscal year ends on December 31. It uses a periodic inventory system. From an analysis of the April bank statement, you discover cancelled checks of $4,200 for cash purchases during the period April 1–10. Deposits during the same period totaled $18,500. Of that amount, 60% were collections on accounts receivable, and the balance was cash sales. Correspondence with the company’s principal suppliers revealed $12,400 of purchases on account from April 1 to April 10. Of that amount, $1,600 was for merchandise in transit on April 10 that was shipped FOB destination. Correspondence with the company’s principal customers produced acknowledgments of credit sales totaling $37,000 from April 1 to April 10. It was estimated that $5,600 of credit sales will never be acknowledged or recovered from customers.

Inwood Company reached an agreement with the insurance company that its fire-loss claim should be based on the average of the gross profit rates for the preceding 2 years. The financial statements for 2006 and 2007 showed the following data.

2007 2006
Net sales $600,000 $480,000
Cost of goods purchased 404,000 356,000
Beginning inventory 60,000 40,000

BYP 3-6 Bluestem Company is a pesticide manufacturer

Ethics Case

BYP 3-6 Bluestem Company is a pesticide manufacturer. Its sales declined greatly this year due to the passage of legislation outlawing the sale of several of Bluestem’s chemical pesticides. In the coming year, Bluestem will have environmentally safe and competitive chemicals to replace these discontinued products. Sales in the next year are expected to greatly exceed any prior year’s. The decline in sales and profits appears to be a one-year aberration. But even so, the company president fears a large dip in the current year’s profits. He believes that such a dip could cause a significant drop in the market price of Bluestem’s stock and make the company a takeover target. To avoid this possibility, the company president calls in Cathi Bell, controller, to discuss this period’s year-end adjusting entries. He urges her to accrue every possible revenue and to defer as many expenses as possible. He says to Cathi, “We need the revenues this year, and next year can easily absorb expenses deferred from this year.We can’t let our stock price be hammered down!” Cathi didn’t get around to recording the adjusting entries until January 17, but she dated the entries December 31 as if they were recorded then. Cathi also made every effort to comply with the president’s request.

Instructions
(a) Who are the stakeholders in this situation?
(b) What are the ethical considerations of (1) the president’s request and (2) Cathi’s dating the adjusting entries December 31?
(c) Can Cathi accrue revenues and defer expenses and still be ethical?
