Keystone Computers & Networks Accounting Issues Case

By Martin Esquivias (1331134)
Econ 112 Auditing Attestation
Ringo Company Receivable: After reviewing the account receivable for Ringo Pistachio Company, I have determined that the account is now a loss contingency. After close consideration, I have concluded that FASB ASC 450-20 is applicable to this situation. The codification requires the accrual of a loss when it is probable that an asset has been impaired at the date of the financial statements and when the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Since Ringo Company received a “going concern” modification it is probable that the account receivable has been impaired. Our analysis also indicated that if bankruptcy does occur, then we should expect to recover 50-60 cents on the dollar. In this case, when the amount is estimated on a range, then we should require the accrual of the minimum cost to stay on the conservative side. In this case, we expect to recover 50-60 cents so we are expected to lose 40-50 cents. 77000 x 40% = 30,800. The journal entry would be as follows: Bad Debt Expense 30,800 Allowance for Doubtful Accounts 30,800
Inventory:
While working with the inventory at Keystone Computers & Networks, I have determined that the company needs to record an inventory write down to reflect a lower cost or market value. According to FASB ASC 330-10-35, “a departure from the cost basis of pricing the inventory is required when the utility of the goods is no longer as great as their cost.” Since the company plans on selling the computers at retail price, but the market value of the computers would decrease 10-15% every six months, then a write-down to lower of cost or market is required. 1st quarter: $110,000 x 35% x 97.5% = 37537.50 2nd quarter : $110,000 x 30% x 92.5% = 30525.00 3rd quarter $110,000 x 25% x 87.5% = 24062.50 4th quarter: $110,000 x 10% x 82.5% = 9,075.00 Total Net Realizable Value = $101,200.00

    Many medical organizations with average patient accounts receivable that are greater than a specified amount, not including the allowance, must compute and record an Allowance for Doubtful Accounts on their balance sheet. This accounts receivable balance should be re-evaluated on an annual basis to determine reporting status. Often, it is not known which specific accounts receivable invoices will be uncollectible. An allowance is therefore established to estimate the value of those receivables believed to be uncollectible. This entry should be “recorded so the income statement and balance sheet are fairly stated at the amount expected to be collected in receivables, thus satisfying the matching principle. The entry creates a contra accounts receivable balance. When netted against the gross total of accounts receivable, the true value of the receivables is reported” (FMS,…

    A departure from the cost basis of pricing the inventory is required when the utility of the goods is no longer as great as their cost. Where there is evidence that the utility of goods, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence, changes in prices levels, or other causes, the differences shall be recognized as a loss of the current period. This is generally accomplished by stating such goods at lower level commonly designated as market (asc.fasb.org).…

    Because litigation is unpredictable and complex, M Corporation should not accrue a liability on the 2007 financial statements. Management determined a loss was probable and estimated the loss to be in the range of $15-20 million with $17 million being the most likely amount of loss. According to FASB Codification 450-20-25-6, losses that are reasonably estimable shall not be accrued because the losses relate to a future period rather than current or prior period. Also, per FASB Codification 450-20-25-8, general or unspecified business risks do not meet the conditions for accrual in 450-20-25-2, so no accrual for a future loss will be made. Additionally, Fordham Journal of Corporate & Financial Law, volume 15, issue 2, article 3, states that 64% of SEC registrants sampled reported being sued, only 9.5% of them accrued any liability for pending…

    When inventory worth is now less than cost, the valuation needs to be adjusted to the lower cost. When the costs change, the organization should adjust the inventory to the current value. This allows for a proper matching of cost and revenues in the financial statements as to not disguise how an organization is currently doing. The price of the inventory is listed at the lower of cost or market.…

    I’m writing this in response to your question on how should the Company determine whether an impairment exists and how should management evaluate impairment. The Company should record inventory impairment when according to ASC 330-10-35-1, “the utility of the goods is no longer as great as their cost”. The rule also states “where there is evidence that the utility of goods, in their disposal in the ordinary course of business, will be less than cost, whether due to physical deterioration, obsolescence…the difference shall be recognized as a loss of the current period”. More specifically, 330-10-35-3 illustrates that “the rule of lower cost or market is intended to provide a means of measuring the residual usefulness of an inventory expenditure”.…

    I would also recommend depreciating PDSC equipment using activity-based depreciation. Capitalizing the depreciation expense, and then re-capitalizing the cost to the inventory, accomplishes the same purpose. However, it would make more sense to depreciate equipment using the activity-based method, and not have to re-capitalize the depreciation expense (only to re-expense it later).…

    The sales of products need to be kept down to increase the profit. Inventory also determined the COGS by it changes of the product that was sold at the beginning of year and the inventory at the end of the previous year is calculation. The cost of goods purchased and made during the year is added up and the inventory at the end of the year is subtracted. This calculation is done so the company will know how much the inventory cost and how much was sold by the company during the year. The inventory is reported at the cost to make or buy the product, it is not the cost to sell it. If sells items cost change during the year, the company much figure out a transaction to deal with those cost changes in a way suitable to the IRS. It would have to figure this change into their COGS equation. The IRS has quite a few standard ways to account for changes in cost through the year without having to track each product price…
