(b)
If Burr pays off the note on February 15, 2013, and then borrows $1,428,600 on a long-term basis on March 1, how much of the $714,300 should be reported as a current liability at December 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal year?
The amount to be reported as a current liability at December 31, 2012
$
(a) Since both criteria are met (intent and ability), none of the $714,300 would be reported as a current liability. The entire amount would be reported as a long-term liability.
(b) Because repayment of the note payable required the use of existing
12/31/12
current assets, the entire $714,300 liability must be reported as current. (This assumes Burr had not entered into a long-term agreement prior to issuance.)

On December 31, 2012, Santana Company has $7,075,600 of short-term debt in the form of notes payable to Golden State Bank due in 2013. On January 28, 2013, Santana enters into a refinancing agreement with Golden that will permit it to borrow up to 55% of the gross amount of its accounts receivable. Receivables are expected to range between a low of $5,150,000 in May to a high of $8,147,000 in October during the year 2013. The interest cost of the maturing short-term debt is 15%, and the new agreement calls for a fluctuating interest rate at 1% above the prime rate on notes due in 2017.

Wertz Construction Company decided at the beginning of 2012 to change from the completed-contract method to the percentage-of-completion method for financial reporting purposes. The company will continue to use the completed-contract method for tax purposes. For years prior to 2012, pretax income under the two methods was as follows: percentage-of-completion $130,600, and completed-contract $74,400. The tax rate is 30%.
Prepare Wertz’s 2012 journal entry to record the change in accounting principle.

On December 31, 2012, before the books were closed, the management and accountants of Madrasa Inc. made the following determinations about three depreciable assets. 1. Depreciable asset A was purchased January 2, 2009. It originally cost $450,000 and, for depreciation purposes, the straight-line method was originally chosen. The asset was originally expected to be useful for 10 years and have a zero salvage value. In 2012, the decision was made to change the depreciation method from straight-line to sum-of-the-years’ digits, and the estimates relating to useful life and salvage value remained unchanged. 2. Depreciable asset B was purchased January 3, 2008. It originally cost $151,500 and, for depreciation purposes, the straight-line method was chosen. The asset was originally expected to be useful for 15 years and have a zero salvage value. In 2012, the decision was made to shorten the total life of this asset to 9 years and to estimate the salvage value at $2,600. 3. Depreciable asset C was purchased January 5, 2008. The asset’s original cost was $140,400, and this amount was entirely expensed in 2008. This particular asset has a 10-year useful life and no salvage value. The straight-line method was chosen for depreciation purposes. Additional data: 1. Income in 2012 before depreciation expense amounted to $359,000. 2. Depreciation expense on assets other than A, B, and C totaled $53,000 in 2012. 3. Income in 2011 was reported at $370,000. 4. Ignore all income tax effects. 5. 108,600 shares of common stock were outstanding in 2011 and 2012. |
