Description Option #1: Analysis of Payton Furniture Corp. Payton Furniture Corp. is nationally recognized for making high-quality products. Management is concerned that the company is not fully exploiting its brand power. Payton’s production managers are also concerned because their plants are not operating at near full capacity. Management is currently considering a proposal to offer a new line of affordable furniture. Those in favor of the proposal (including the vice president of production) believe that, by offering these new products, the company could attract a clientele that it is not currently servicing. It could also operate its plants at full capacity, thus taking better advantage of its assets. The vice president of marketing, however, believes that the lower-priced (and lower-margin) product would have a negative impact on the sales of existing products. The vice president believes that $10,000,000 of the sales of the new product will be from customers that would have purchased the more expensive product but switched to the lower-margin product because it was available.

Description Snake Creek Company has one trusted employee who, as the owner said, handles all of the book-keeping and paperwork for the company. This employee is responsible for counting, verifying, and recording cash receipts and payments, making the weekly bank deposit, preparing checks for major expenditures (signed by the owner), making small expenditures from the cash register for daily expenses, and collecting accounts receivable. The owners asked the local bank for a $ 20,000 loan. The bank asked that an audit be performed covering the year just ended. The independent auditor ( a local CPA), in a private conference with the owner, presented some evidence of the following activities of the trusted employee during the past year:a. Cash sales sometimes were not entered in the cash register, and the trusted employee pocketed approximately $ 50 per month.b. Cash taken from the cash register ( and pocketed by the trusted employee) was replaced with expense memos with fictitious signatures ( approximately $ 12 per day).c. $ 300 collected on an account receivable from a valued out- of- town customer was pocketed by the trusted employee and was covered by making a $ 300 entry as a debit to Sales Returns and a credit to Accounts Receivable.d. $ 800 collected on an account receivable from a local customer was pocketed by the trusted employee and was covered by making an $ 800 entry as a debit to Sales Discounts and a credit to Accounts Receivable.Required:1.

During the company’s first ten days of operations, it completes the following transactions: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. To begin operations, Grace Fung deposits $400,000 of personal funds in a bank account entitled Fung’s Research Services Inc. and the business issues shares of common stock in the amount of $400,000. Grace had obtained the $400,000 by selling off RRSPs that she had saved over the years. $400,000 was the proceeds used from the sale of $500,000 worth of RRSPs. FRS pays $300,000 cash for a small house which is to be used as an office. Grace has a personal use residential property from which she does some work although the bulk of her days are spent at the FRS offices in the other small house. She does repairs on the residential property in the amount of $10,000 although this is not to be expensed against the business as such an expenditure is considered to be a personal and living expense. Grace goes over to Staples/Business Depot and buys $500 worth of office supplies for the business. She opens up a charge account with Staples/Business Depot and thus has 30 days to pay. FRS finds a government surplus office equipment sale in the newspaper and goes to an auction to buy office equipment. A bargain is found and FRS pays $6,000 cash for office furniture. The company pays $250 on the Staples/Business Depot purchase in #4. Grace decided she needs a vacation and pays herself a $1,000 dividend out of FRS. FRS does some research work for the Hamilton Tiger Cats and bills them $15,000. She receives $5,000 immediately in cash and the balance is to be paid in 90 days (the Ti-Cats are in dire straits from a cash-flow point of view, but Grace is understanding, plus she needs the work). Grace realizes that she has used $100 worth of supplies and decides to expense it accordingly. Instructions: Prepare the t-account entries and key the transactions according to what happened above. a) Post the entries to the T-accounts and calculate ending balances. b) Prepare the trial balance of FRS at August 10, 2014. c) Prepare the financial statements for the first 10 days of operations at FRS.
