1. Make all adjustments on the "Adjusting Journal Entries". Remember to include a description under each journal entry.
12 | . On 1/1/14, ABC Corporation purchased, as a held-to-maturity investment, $200,000 of the 8%, 5-year bonds of Intuit Corporation for $177,824, | ||||||||
which provides an 11% return. Prepare ABC's 12/31/14 journal entry to reflect the receipt of annual interest and discount amortization. | |||||||||
Assume the bond investment pays interest annually on 12/31 each year and that effective interest amortization is used. | |||||||||
Note: Notice that a discount account is not used for this investment. Therefore, for purposes of this adjusting entry, amortize the discount directly to the | |||||||||
investment account. | |||||||||
13. | ABC Corporation prepares an aging schedule on 12/31/14 that estimates total uncollectible accounts at $25,000. Assuming that the allowance method is used, | ||||||||

14 | On 1/1/14, ABC Corporation signed a 5-year noncancelable lease for a delivery vehicle. The terms of the lease called for ABC to Corporation to make | ||||||||
annual payments of $10,503 at the beginning of each year, starting January 1, 2014. The delivery vehicle has an estimated useful life of 6 years and a $7,000 | |||||||||
unguaranteed residual value. The delivery vehicle reverts back to the lessor at the end of the lease term. ABC Corporation uses the straight-line method | |||||||||
of depreciation for the delivery vehicle. ABC Corporation's incremental borrowing rate is 10%, and the Lessor's implicit rate is unknown. No entries have yet | |||||||||
been made concerning this lease arrangement. After determining the type of lease arrangement (capital or operating), prepare the necessary multiple-part journal | |||||||||
entry for 2014 for ABC Corporation. (Hints: You will need to compute the present value of the minimum lease payments and 4 separate sub-entries for | |||||||||
this lease transaction. Also, for Statement of Cash Flow purposes, the principal portion of lease payments are correctly categorized as a financing activity.) | |||||||||
15 | ABC Corporation provides a defined benefit pension plan for its employees. A combination adjusting entry should be made to correctly account for this type of pension | ||||||||

Note: Use the summary entry method as demonstrated and discussed in the chapter lectures on pension accounting to prepare the adjusting entry. | |||||||||

17 | Corporate taxes are due in four estimated quarterly payments on April 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. | ||||||||
However, for the purposes of this ABC illustration, we will assume that estimates are not paid, and that the tax is paid in full | |||||||||
on the return's March 15, 2015 due date. | |||||||||
ABC's income tax rate is 40%. The entire year's income tax expense was estimated at the beginning of 2014 to be $69,600, | |||||||||
so January through November income tax expense recognized amounts to $63,800 (11/12 months). | |||||||||
Since we are assuming estimates are not made during the year, the balance in Income taxes payable represents | |||||||||
tax accrued for January through November. Assume no deferred tax assets or deferred tax liabilities. | |||||||||
Based on the income before income taxes figure from the income statement, record December's income tax expense | |||||||||
so that the entire year's total tax expense is correct. |
