Reconciling the Bank Statement Prepare a July 31 bank reconciliation statement and the

resulting journal entries for the Simmons Company. The July 31 bank statement indicated a cash balance of $9,610, while the cash ledger account on that date shows a balance of $7,430. Additional information for the reconciliation is shown:

Outstanding checks totaled $2,417. A $500 check mailed to the bank for deposit had not reached

the bank at the statement date. The bank returned a customer’s NSF check for $225 received

as payment of an account receivable. The bank statement showed $30 interest earned on the bank

balance for the month of July. Check 781 for supplies cleared the bank for $268 but was

erroneously recorded in our books as $240. A $486 deposit by Acme Company was erroneously credited

to our account by the bank.

Accounting for Marketable Securities

Most short-term investments in marketable securities are classified as available for sale and appear on the

balance sheet at their current market value.

Classification Management's IntentTreatment of Unrealized

Holding Gains and LossesAvailable-for-sale securities

Held for short-term resale (often 6 to 18 months)

Reported in stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet

Trading securities

Held for immediate resale (often within hours or days)

Reported in "other" revenue (expense) section of the income statement

Held-to-maturity securities

Debt securities intended to be held until they mature

Not reported. Securities are reported on balance sheet at amortized cost.

Purchase of Marketable SecuritiesFoster Corporation purchases as a short-term

investment 4,000 shares of The Coca-Cola Company on December 1. Foster paid $43.98 per

share, plus a brokerage commission of $80.

Total Cost: (4,000 × $43.98) + $80 = $176,000

Cost per Share: $176,000 ÷ 4,000 = $44.00

7-23

Recognition of Investment Revenue

On December 15, Foster Corporation receives a $0.30 per share dividend on its 4,000

shares of Coca-Cola.

4,000 × $0.30 = $1,200

Sales of Investments

On December 18, Foster Corporation sells 500 shares of its Coca-Cola stock for $46.04 per share, less a $20 brokerage commission.

Sales Proceeds: (500 × $46.04) - $20 = $23,000

Cost Basis: 500 × $44 = $22,000

Gain on Sale: $23,000 - $22,000 = $1,000

Adjusting Marketable Securities to Market Value

On December 31, Foster Corporation’s remaining shares of Coca-Cola capital stock have a current

market value of $42,000. Prior to any adjustment, the company’s Marketable Securities account has a

balance of $44,000 (1,000 × $44 per share).

Unrealized Loss: $42,000 - $44,000 = ($2,000)

accounts inevitably will turn out to be uncollectible.

Writing Off an Uncollectible Account Receivable

When an account is determined to be uncollectible, it no longer qualifies as an

asset and should be written off.

Monthly Estimates of Credit Losses

At the end of each month, management should estimate the probable amount of

uncollectible accounts and adjust the

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts to this new

estimate.

Two Approaches to Estimating Credit Losses:

1. Balance Sheet Approach

2. Income Statement Approach

Estimating Credit Losses — The Balance Sheet Approach

Year-end Accounts Receivable is broken down into age

classifications.

Each age grouping has a different likelihood of being

uncollectible.

Compute a separate allowance for each age grouping.

Estimating Credit Losses — The Income Statement Approach

Uncollectible accounts’ percentage is based on actual uncollectible accounts from

prior years’ credit sales.

Focus is on determining the amount to record on the income statement as Uncollectible Accounts Expense.

Estimating Credit Losses — The Income Statement Approach

In 2007, EastCo had credit sales of $60,000. Historically, 1% of EastCo’s credit sales has been uncollectible. For 2007, the estimate of uncollectible accounts expense is $600. ($60,000 × .01 = $600)

Now, prepare the adjusting entry for December 31, 2007.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Concentrations of credit risk occur if a significant portion of a company’s receivables are due from a few major customers or from customers operating in the same

industry or geographic region.

The FASB requires disclosure of all

significant concentrations of credit risk in the

notes to the financial statements.
