Current Attempt in Progress

Your answer is partially correct.

Riverbed Auto Repairs is preparing the financial statements for the year ended November $30,2023.$ As the accountant, you are

looking over the information regarding short$-$term liabilities, and determining the amounts that should be reported on the balance

sheet. Riverbed reports under ASPE. The following information regarding new corporate initiatives has been brought to your

attention.

Riverbed printed a coupon in the local newspaper in November $2023.$ The coupon permits customers to take $12\%$ off the cost

of any service between November $1,2023,$ and January $30,2024.$ The newspaper has a circulation of $11,600$ customers. In

November, $30$ coupons were used by customers, resulting in sales reductions of $$200.$ It is expected that $50$ more coupons

will be used before January $30,$ and the average sales transaction for Riverbed is $$60.$

To reduce the costs associated with production downtime due to sick days taken, Riverbed developed a new plan in $2023.$

Employees are permitted up to $6$ sick days per year with pay. If these days are not all used, then $50\%$ of the unused time will

be accumulated and can be used as paid vacation within the next year; otherwise, the rights will expire at the end of the next

fiscal year. During $2023,2$ employees were eligible for the plan and each used $2$ of their $6$ days. The daily rate of pay for each

employee is $$200.$ These $2$ individuals are long$-$term employees of the company who are unlikely to resign in the near future

and who have been relatively healthy in the past.

Riverbed is considering starting a customer loyalty program. The program would involve tracking the purchases of each

customer on a small card that they retain. Each time a customer reaches $$230$ in total purchases, they would get a $$9$

discount on the next purchase.
