Question

3)

JWS Transport Company’s employees earn vacation time at the rate of 1 hour per 30-hour work period. The vacation pay vests immediately (that is, an employee is entitled to the pay even if employment terminates). During 2018, total wages paid to employees equaled $426,000, including $3,000 for vacations actually taken in 2018 but not including vacations related to 2018 that will be taken in 2019. All vacations earned before 2018 were taken before January 1, 2018. No accrual entries have been made for the vacations. No overtime premium and no bonuses were paid during the period.

Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for vacations earned but not taken in 2018. (If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Bavarian Bar and Grill opened for business in November 2018. During its first two months of operation, the restaurant sold gift certificates in various amounts totaling $8,800, mostly as Christmas presents. They are redeemable for meals within two years of the purchase date, although experience within the industry indicates that 90% of gift certificates are redeemed within one year. Certificates totaling $3,100 were presented for redemption during 2018 for meals having a total price of $3,500. The sales tax rate on restaurant sales is 4%, assessed at the time meals (not gift certificates) are purchased. Sales taxes will be remitted in January.

Required:
1. Prepare the appropriate journal entries (in summary form) for the gift certificates sold during 2018 (keeping in mind that, in actuality, each sale of a gift certificate or a meal would be recorded individually).
2. Determine the liability for gift certificates to be reported on the December 31, 2018, balance sheet.
3. What is the appropriate amount for each classification (current or noncurrent) of the liabilities at December 31, 2018?
