(4) Cash Basis (d) An annual reporting period that runs from January 1 through December 31.
(5) Prepaids (e) Monies collected from customers for services that have not yet been provided.
(6) Unearned Revenue (f) An approach that results in the initial recording of prepaids to an asset account and unearned revenues to a liability account.
(7) Balance Sheet Approach (g) The notion that a continuous business process can be divided into time intervals such as years, quarters, or months for reporting purposes.
(8) Adjusting Entry (h) A systematic and rational allocation scheme to spread a portion of the total cost of a productive asset to each period of use.

Accounting "failures" occur when reported results are not presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These failures can produce significant financial losses to investors and creditors. Oftentimes, an accounting failure results from an incorrect application of revenue recognition concepts. Revgression Corporation included each of the following described transactions in revenue during 20X5. Three of these transactions were appropriate, and three were not. Determine which are "ok" and which are "not ok."
(1) Goods were sold and shipped in late 20X5, but the product still requires substantial installation and setup services. The price and terms of sale stipulate that seller must satisfactorily complete all installation and setup at the buyer's location.
(2) Goods were produced according to a customer purchase order, but had not yet been shipped by the end of 20X5.
(3) Goods were delivered to customers during early 20X5, but the customers had ordered and paid for the goods during 20X4.
(4) Customers purchased goods and services during late 20X5, but credit terms permitted them to delay payment until early 20X6. Full payment is expected eventually.
(5) Advance payment from a customer in a foreign country was received in 20X5, for services to be provided in 20X6.
(6) Goods were purchased and paid for by customers during 20X5, but customers may return defective goods for warranty work or a refund. The expected warranty/refund claims are subject to reasonable estimation and not anticipated to be significant.

Mohamed Bakar Alidini recently formed a business in the Republic of Yemen to process liquefied natural gas for export to other countries. Natural gas can be converted to a liquid by cooling it to -163 degrees Celsius. It then assumes a highly compressed state and can be transported by specially designed cryogenic vessels. Mohamed's business invested 80,000,000 (Yemeni Rials/YER) in a cooling/containment chamber with a 4-year life. The chamber will have no remaining value at the end of the 4-year period.
(a) Prepare journal entries to record annual depreciation for each of the four years, assuming Alidini uses the straight-line method.
(b) Show how the annual depreciation will appear in each year's income statement.
(c) Show how the asset, and related accumulated depreciation will appear in each year's balance sheet.

Asher Corporation's equipment had an original life of 140 months, and the straight-line depreciation method is used. As of January 1, the equipment was 40 months old. The equipment will be worthless at the end of its useful life. As of the end of the month, Asher Corporation has provided services to customers for which the earnings process is complete. Formal billings are normally sent out on the first day of each month for the prior month's work. January's unbilled work is $25,000. Utilities used during January, for which bills will soon be forthcoming from providers, are estimated at $1,500. A review of supplies on hand at the end of the month revealed items costing $3,500. The $2,400 balance in prepaid insurance was for a 6-month policy running from January 1 to June 30. The unearned revenue was collected in December of 20X7. 60% of that amount was actually earned in January, with the remainder to be earned in February. The loan accrues interest at 1% per month. No interest was paid in January.

Plicta Motors is an automobile service center offering a full range of repair services for high performance cars. The following information is pertinent to adjusting entries that are needed for Plicta, as of March 31, 20X5. Plicta has a fiscal year ending on March 31, and only records adjusting entries at year end.
Plicta has a large investment in repair equipment, and maintains detailed asset records. These records show that depreciation for fiscal "X5" is $123,400.
As of March 31, 20X5, accrued interest on loans owed by Plicta is $21,678.
Auto dealerships outsource work to Plicta. This work is done on account, and billed monthly. As of March 31, 20X5, $54,800 of unbilled services have been provided.
Plicta maintains a general business liability insurance policy. The prepaid annual premium is $6,000. The policy was purchased on October 1, 20X4. Another policy is a 6-month property and casualty policy, and it was obtained on December 1, 20X4, at a cost of $3,000. Both policies were initially recorded as prepaid insurance.
The company prepared a detailed count of shop supplies at March 31, 20X4. $37,904 was on hand at that date. Management believed this level was greater than necessary and undertook a strategy to reduce these levels over the next year. During the fiscal year 20X5, Plicta purchased an additional $125,000 of supplies, and debited the Supplies account. By March 31, 20X5, the effort to reduce inventory was successful, as the count revealed an ending balance of only $13,600.
During the fiscal year, Plicta began offering a service contract to retail customers entitling them regular tire rotations, car washing, and other routine maintenance items. Customers prepay for this service agreement, and Plicta records the proceeds in the Unearned Revenue account. The service plan is a flat fee of $219, and Plicta sold the plan to 456 customers. At March 31, 20X5, it is estimated that 25% of the necessary work has been provided under these agreements.
Plicta's primary advertising is on billboards. Lamzar Outdoor Advertising sold Plicta a plan for multiple sign locations around the city. Because Plicta agreed to prepay the full price of $26,000, Lamzar agreed to leave the signs up for 13 months. Plicta paid on June 1, 20X4, and recorded the full amount as a prepaid. However, the advertising campaign was not begun until July 1, 20X4. It will conclude on July 31, 20X5.
Plicta leases shop space. Monthly rent is due and payable on the first day of each month. Plicta paid March's rent on March 1, and expects to pay April's rent on April 1.
Prepare adjusting entries (hint: when necessary) for Plicta, as of March 31, 20X5.

Delton discovered that 40% of the unearned revenue appearing in the trial balance had actually been earned as of the end of the year.
A physical count of supplies on hand revealed a year-end balance of only $3,000.
Unpaid and unrecorded invoices for utilities for December amounted to $1,500.
The last payday was December 26. Employees are owed an additional $3,900 that has not been recorded.
Additional depreciation of $3,100 needs to be recorded.
(a) Prepare journal entries relating to the adjustments.
(b) Prepare an adjusted trial balance (you might utilize a partial worksheet for this task, as shown in the downloadable form).
(c) Prepare an income statement and statement of retained earnings for 20X3, and a classified balance sheet as of the end of the year.
(d) Berry's bookkeeper argued with Delton that there was no need to record the adjustments since they have no "net" effect on income. Evaluate whether this observation is true of false, and comment on the appropriateness of this logic.
