Cash includes $19,000 that is deposited in a compensating balance account that will be tied up until 2014.
The market value of the trading securities is $12,000. Derbyshire purchased the trading securities a couple of weeks ago.
Derbyshire has been using the direct write-off method to account for uncollectible receivables. During 2012, Derbyshire wrote off bad receivables of $6,500. Cline & Nichols determines that uncollectible-account expense should be 3% of service revenue, which totaled $630,000 in 2012. The aging of Derbyshire’s receivables at year-end indicated uncollectibles of $12,400.
Derbyshire reported net income of $94,000 for 2012.
