Question

Scofield Enterprises has been operating for one year and the company needs additional working capital to expand its business. The owner doesn't really know whether the business is profitable or not, but she is sure from the increase in orders already experienced that the business concept can be successful. Now she needs to provide GAAP-compliant financial statements to the banker and may hire your company to create them. The company has been entering information in general ledger software all year and the software has generated an Unadjusted Trial Balance which is available separately in a spreadsheet. The owner of Scofield Enterprises sat down with your boss this week when she realized that the bank wasn't going to accept the computer output, and their conversation is available at ACCT 3310 Professional Application: Part I provided below in this folder.

Come in Thank you for seeing me today. First Bank recommended that I see an accountant, but I'm not sure exactly why. I'mjust trying to set up a line of credit so that I can stock up on inventory before the Christmas buying season. The bank is asking for an income statement and balance sheet on my business I'm sure l can help you. That's a very standard request. Let me see the information you have This is the print out from my accounting software. I'mvery careful to enter every transaction, so I don't see why this list isn't good enough That's a great start. Let's see if I understand what you have here. (Pause) You seem to have a very high accounts receivable Yes. That's one of the strongest points of the business to show the bank. We havejust received a $20,000 order, so l entered it right away as sales and accounts receivable. I want to keep track of every transaction Have you delivered anything on the order yet? No. We're on track to finish by the 15th and then inspect and ship by the end of the month That's actually something that will need to be adjusted. Did you decrease your inventory yet for this order? No. It hasn't been shipped yet, so I wouldn't change inventory. Isn't that right? Yes, that's good that your inventory here matches your inventory at your business today. Now I noticed something else about the assets you have listed. You have a building listed, but no land. That's very unusual. Do you own your own building? Yes, we've just closed on our headquarters. Of course, we own the land too. The $250,000 I recorded for the building is for both That's what I thought. We'll have to separate out the value for the building and land because they are separate assets and have different accounting treatment But I didn't pay a separate price for the land and building. How would I know the separate values? Most appraisers apply 20% of the total price to the land and 80% to the building in these cases, so we can follow that rule of thumb safely for a new standard purchase I notice that your income statement is missing two expenses that I would normally expect. There is no depreciation listed What's that? Depreciation is an expense because all equipment and facilities have a limited life. As they are used, there is wear and tear and their productivity goes down. Now, since you have just purchased the building, it wouldn't have any depreciation yet. But I wonder about the equipment. When did you purchase the equipment? At the beginning of the year And how long do you expect before you replace the equipment?
