Situations
1>Dollar Saver has 20,000 Model 44G cell phones in inventory at a cost of $64 each. Due to the advancement of technology and newer models available, only 4 of Model 44G phones were sold last month. To avoid recognizing a loss on writing off this inventory, Dollar Saver has decided not to issue financial statements until at least half of the remaining Model 44G phones have been sold.
2>Homer Bates, president of Bates Machinery, took an iPod Touch out of inventory to use as a birthday present for his son. The cost was debited to Supplies Expense.
3>Wilson, Inc. made no entry to record depreciation on its equipment for 2014.
4>Stockholders invested an additional $43,000 cash in the business in 2014. This investment was reported as revenue on the 2014 income statement.
5>Toys, Inc. is being liquidated because it has sustained losses for the past few years. It continues to depreciate its assets and prepare financial statements on the cost basis.
6>Counters Galore values its pre-made granite it has on hand at its expected selling price since this is the amount the company will receive from customers when it sells the counters to customers. The granite's expected selling price exceeds the price Counters Galore paid for it.
7>Rand Enterprises developed a fuel cell that will run on sea water, while providing equal performance to other fuels. Rand has chosen to defer the release of the new product to the public until it has enough capital to fund the production.
8>Darzion Products reports its inventory based on Euros for its stores in Great Britain when issuing financial statements for British banks when loans are needed.
