Serial Problem Success Systems LO P1, P2, P3, P4

[The following information applies to the questions displayed below.]

Adria Lopez created Success Systems on October 1, 2013. The company has been successful, and its list of customers has grown. To accommodate the growth, the accounting system is modified to set up separate accounts for each customer. The following chart of accounts includes the account number used for each account and any balance as of December 31, 2013. Adria Lopez decided to add a fourth digit with a decimal point to the 106 account number that had been used for the single Accounts Receivable account. This change allows the company to continue using the existing chart of accounts.

   

In response to requests from customers, A. Lopez will begin selling computer software. The company will extend credit terms of 1/10, n/30, FOB shipping point, to all customers who purchase this merchandise. However, no cash discount is available on consulting fees. Additional accounts (Nos. 119, 413, 414, 415, and 502) are added to its general ledger to accommodate the company’s new merchandising activities. Also, Success Systems does not use reversing entries and, therefore, all revenue and expense accounts have zero beginning balances as of January 1, 2014. Its transactions for January through March follow:

  

The company paid cash to Lyn Addie for five days’ work at the rate of $185 per day. Four of the five days relate to wages payable that were accrued in the prior year.

The company purchased $6,100 of merchandise from Kansas Corp. with terms of 1/10, n/30, FOB shipping point, invoice dated January 7.

The company completed a five-day project for Alex’s Engineering Co. and billed it $5,390, which is the total price of $6,810 less the advance payment of $1,420.

The company sold merchandise with a retail value of $4,800 and a cost of $3,560 to Liu Corp., invoice dated January 13.

The company paid $780 cash for freight charges on the merchandise purchased on January 7.

The company paid Kansas Corp. for the invoice dated January 7, net of the discount.

Liu Corp. returned $400 of defective merchandise from its invoice dated January 13. The returned merchandise, which had a $290 cost, is discarded. (The policy of Success Systems is to leave the cost of defective products in cost of goods sold.)

The company received the balance due from Liu Corp., net of both the discount and the credit for the returned merchandise.

The company returned defective merchandise to Kansas Corp. and accepted a credit against future purchases. The defective merchandise invoice cost, net of the discount, was $486.

The company purchased $9,800 of merchandise from Kansas Corp. with terms of 1/10, n/30, FOB destination, invoice dated January 26.

The company sold merchandise with a $4,570 cost for $5,820 on credit to KC, Inc., invoice dated January 26.

The company received a $486 credit memorandum from Kansas Corp. concerning the merchandise returned on January 24.

The company paid $2,535 cash to Hillside Mall for another three months’ rent in advance.

The company paid Kansas Corp. for the balance due, net of the cash discount, less the $486 amount in the credit memorandum.

The company paid $470 cash to the local newspaper for an advertising insert in today’s paper.

The company sold merchandise with a $2,580 cost for $3,330 on credit to Delta Co., invoice dated February 23.

The company reimbursed Adria Lopez for business automobile mileage (800 miles at $0.21 per mile).

The company purchased $2,770 of computer supplies from Harris Office Products on credit, invoice dated March 8.

The company received the balance due from Delta Co. for merchandise sold on February 23.

The company paid the full amount due to Harris Office Products, consisting of amounts created on December 15 (of $1,260) and March 8.

The company sold merchandise with a $2,122 cost for $2,810 on credit to Wildcat Services, invoice dated March 25.
