Measurement of Notes Receivable


Classification Initial Measurement Subsequent Measurement
1. Short-term note receivable Face amount Initially measured amount minus
principal repayment and reduction for
impairment or uncollectibility
2. Long-term, interest-bearing note Face amount Initially measured amount minus

3. Long-term, non-interest bearing Present value/ discounted value Initially measured amount minus
note receivable principal repayment, plus or minus
cumulative amortization of any
difference between the initial carrying
amount and the principal maturity
amount, minus reduction for

Credit Risk and Impairment of Loans Receivable


Credit risk is the risk that one party to a financial instrument will cause a financial loss for the other party by failing to
discharge an obligation.

An entity shall recognize a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost. Credit
losses are the present value of all cash shortfalls over the life of the financial instrument.

The amount of impairment loss can be measured as the difference between the carrying amount and the present value of
estimated future cash flows discounted at the original effective rate.

PRO-FORMA COMPUTATIONS: PRO-FORMA ENTRIES:


Face amount of the loan receivable xx Loan impairment loss xx
Add: Accrued interest (if previously recognized) xx Interest receivable (if accrued) xx
Total carrying amount xx Allowance for loan impairment xx
Less: Present value of future cash flows discounted

Loan impairment loss xx Interest income xx

RECEIVABLE FINANCING
It refers to the financial flexibility or capability of an entity to raise money out of its receivables other than from the usual
collection of the same.

account is recognized.

Computational Guidelines related to Note Receivable Discounting:


1. Maturity value = Principal + Interest
*Interest = Principal X Original Rate X Original Term
2. Discount = Maturity value X Discount Rate X Discount Term
3. Net proceeds = Maturity value – Discount
4. Carrying amount of NR = Principal + Interest
*Interest = Principal X Original Rate X Expired Term at the time of discounting
5. Loss on NR discounting (Interest Expense) = Carrying Amount of NR – Net Proceeds

DISHONORED NOTES – A note is said to be dishonored if payment is not made at the time of maturity. Theoretically,
dishonored notes should be transferred to Accounts Receivable at an amount equal to the face amount of the note plus interest
and other charges.
Handout: Inventory Estimation FAR0_1st Sem_AY2019-20

Methods of Inventory Estimation


1. Gross profit method
2. Retail inventory method

GROSS PROFIT (GP) METHOD


1. This inventory estimation method assumes that the rate of gross profit remains approximately the same from period to
period.
2. Accordingly, the ratio of cost of sales to net sales is also assumed to be relatively constant from period to period.
3. Basic formula under the GP method:

Beginning inventory xx
Add: Net cost of purchases
Purchases xx
Freight in xx
Purchase returns & allowances (xx)
Purchase discounts (xx) xx
Total cost of goods available for sale xx
Less: Estimated cost of sales (see Item No. 4) xx
Estimated cost of ending inventory xx

4. The estimated cost of sales is computed as follows:


a. Gross profit rate is based on sales / selling price:

Estimated cost of sales = Net sales x (100% - GP rate)

b. Gross profit rate is based on cost:

Net sales
Estimated cost of sales =
100% + GP rate

5. The Net Sales, for purposes of inventory estimation, is equal to Gross Sales reduced by any Sales Return during the period.
Sales allowances and discounts, which do not result to physical reduction in units sold, are ignored (not deducted from
gross sales) in the determination of net sales.

RETAIL INVENTORY METHOD


1. This method is often used in the retail industry for measuring inventory of large number of rapidly changing items with
similar margin.
2. It is commonly employed by department stores, supermarkets and other retail concerns which maintain a wide variety of
goods in its inventory.
3. Required information to support the use of the retail inventory method:
a. Beginning inventory at cost and at retail price;
b. Purchases during the period at cost and at retail price;
c. Adjustments to the original retail price such as additional mark up, mark up cancelation, markdown and
markdown cancelation; and
d. Other adjustments such as departmental transfers, breakages, shrinkage, theft, damaged goods and employee
discounts.
4. Basic formula under the Retail Inventory Method:

Particulars Cost Retail


Beginning Inventory xx xx
Net purchases xx xx
Total goods available for sale (TGAFS) xx xx
*Cost ratio (TGAFS @cost divided by TGAFS @ retail)

Approaches in the use of retail inventory method


1. Conservative or conventional or lower of cost and net realizable value approach
 Lowest cost of ending inventory and highest cost of sales value.
 Includes net mark ups and excludes net mark downs for purposes of cost ratio computations
2. Average approach
 Higher cost of ending inventory and lower cost of sales value than the conservative approach
 Includes net mark ups and net mark downs for purposes of cost ratio computations
3. FIFO retail approach
 Disregards beginning inventory information in the determination of the cost ratio.
 Assumes that the cost of the ending inventory is reasonably sourced from the current purchases (FIFO)
 Includes net mark ups and net mark downs for purposes of the cost ratio computations

INVENTORIES refer to assets that are held for sale in the ordinary course of business, in the process of production for such
sale or in the form of materials or supplies to be consumed in the production process or in the rendering of services (PAS 2).

Classes of Inventories
Type of Operation Class/ Account Title Brief Description
1. Service Supplies Inventory Unused portion of supplies available for use in the rendering
of services
2. Merchandising Merchandise inventories Goods held for sale by a trading concern
a. Finished goods Completed products which are ready for sale
b. Goods in process Partially completed products requiring further process before
they can be sold
3. Manufacturing c. Raw (Direct) materials Goods that are to be used in the production process and are
directly traceable to the finished product
d. Factory or manufacturing supplies Goods that are to be used in the production process but are
not directly traceable to the finished product

Goods Includible in Inventories


As a rule, all goods to which the entity has title (legal test) shall be included in the inventory, regardless of location.
Accordingly, an entity may be considered the legal owner of the goods even if the same are not yet physically held by the
former.

The following inventory items must be included in inventory:


1. Goods owned and on hand 4. Goods out on consignment
2. Goods in transit and sold FOB destination 5. Goods in the hands of salesmen or agents
3. Goods in transit and purchased FOB shipping point 6. Goods held by customers on approval or trial

CONSIGNMENT – an agreement whereby the owner of the goods, called the CONSIGNOR, transfers physical possession of
goods to an agent, called the CONSIGNEE, who sells them on behalf of the former.

Salient Features of Consignment


1. Consigned goods shall be included in the CONSIGNOR’s inventory and excluded from the CONSIGNEE’s inventory.
2. Freight and other handling charges on goods out on consignment are part of the cost of goods consigned.
3. Freight and other distribution costs incurred by the CONSIGNEE in selling the goods of the CONSIGNOR shall be treated
as selling expenses of the former. However, the parties may agree that the costs of distribution shall be reimbursed by the
CONSIGNOR to the CONSIGNEE, in which case, the costs shall be treated as selling expenses of the CONSIGNOR.
4. The CONSIGNOR shall recognize a sale only upon actual sale by the CONSIGNEE to customers which also triggers the
recognition of commission income by the latter.

Methods of Recording Credit Purchases


1. Gross Method – The accounts payable and purchases accounts are recorded at the gross amount of the invoice (before
deducting any offered cash discount)
2. Net Method – The accounts payable and purchases account are recorded at the net amount of the invoice (after deducting
any offered cash discount). Any discount foregone shall be recorded as “Purchase Discount Lost” and classified among
other expense items.

Types of Discounts
1. Trade discounts – are offered to encourage transactions in high volume and/or to reward customer patronage
2. Cash discounts – are offered to encourage prompt collection/payment of accounts

COST OF INVENTORIES
1. Cost of purchase – comprises the purchase price, import duties and irrecoverable taxes, freight, handling and other costs
directly attributable to the acquisition of finished goods, materials and services.
a. Trade discounts, rebates and other similar items are deducted in determining the cost of purchase
b. Foreign exchange differences on inventory transactions denominated in foreign currency are excluded from
the cost of purchase
c. Financing costs (interest) related to the acquisition of inventories on a deferred settlement basis is excluded
from the cost of purchase and is recognized as interest expense over the period of financing
2. Cost of conversion – includes costs that are necessary in the conversion of materials into finished products such as direct
labor and systematic allocation of fixed and variable production overhead.
a. Direct labor pertains to the cost of labor of workers and employees who have a direct involvement in the
production of goods and/or services (e.g salary of workers in the factory)
b. Fixed production overhead refers to the indirect cost of production that remains relatively constant regardless of
the volume of production (e.g. rent of factory building). It is allocated based on the normal capacity of the
production facilities.
c. Variable production overhead refers to the indirect cost of production that varies directly with the volume of
production (e.g. indirect labor and indirect materials).It is allocated based on the actual use of the production
facilities.
3. Other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition.

Cost of Inventories of a Service Provider - consists of the labor and other costs of personnel directly engaged in the provision
of the service, including supervisory personnel and attributable overhead.
Handout: Inventories_CostFlow_LCNRV FAR0_1st Sem_AY2019-20

PAS 2, paragraph 9, provides that inventories shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value (LCNRV).

Net realizable value or NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost of
completion and the estimated cost of disposal of inventories.
PAS 2, paragraph 25, further provides that the cost of inventories shall be determined by using either: [1] First in, First out
(FIFO) or [2] Weighted average

COST FORMULA MATRIX


Cost Formula Cost of goods sold Ending Inventory
1. First in, First out* Expressed in terms of earlier or old prices Expressed in terms of current or recent prices

* GAAP ** Not generally accepted *** Accepted as an alternative costing method

Computational Guidelines
1. FIFO, whether applied on a periodic or perpetual method of accounting, yields the same amount of Cost of Sales (COS)
and Ending Inventory (EI).
2. LIFO periodic and LIFO perpetual result in different amounts of COS and EI.
3. A common average unit cost is applied to both sold and unsold units under the Weighted Average – Periodic costing
method in determining the amount of COS and EI. The average unit cost is computed by dividing the Total Cost of
Goods Available for Sale (in Php) during the period by the Total Units Available for Sale.
4. A new weighted average unit cost is computed after every purchase under the Weighted Average – Perpetual costing
method.
5. In a period of rising prices, FIFO yields the highest EI, lowest COS and highest Net Income (NI)
6. In a period of declining prices, FIFO yields the lowest EI, highest COS and lowest NI
7. In a period of rising prices, LIFO yields the lowest EI, highest COS and lowest NI
8. In a period of declining prices, LIFO yields the highest EI, lowest COS and highest Net Income (NI)

MEASUREMENT OF INVENTORIES – inventories shall be measured at LCNRV (PAS 2, par 9)


Accounting for Inventory Writedown
1. Inventories are usually written down to NRV on an item by item or individual basis.
2. A writedown is required if the NRV is lower than the cost of the inventory. Accordingly, the inventory is measured at
NRV and the decrease in value is appropriately recognized.
3. No writedown is recorded if the NRV of the inventory is greater than its cost.

Methods of Accounting for Inventory Writedown


1. Direct Method or Cost of Sales Method
a. The Inventory is measured at the LCNRV
b. Any loss on writedown or gain on subsequent reversal of the same is buried in the Cost of Sales; no separate
accounting for the loss is made

2. Allowance Method or Loss Method


a. The Inventory is measured at COST
b. Any loss on writedown or gain on subsequent reversal of the same is accounted for separately.
c. A valuation account, “Allowance for Inventory Writedown” is maintained
d. “Loss on Inventory Writedown” increases Cost of Sales while “Gain on Reversal of Inventory Writedown” decreases
Cost of Sales
e. The amount of gain on reversal of writedown cannot exceed the cumulative amount of losses on inventory writedown
previously recognized.

Accounting for Purchase Commitments


1. Purchase commitments are obligations of the entity to acquire certain goods sometime in the future at a fixed price and
fixed quantity.
2. No formal accounting entry is made upon signing of the purchase commitment. However, a note disclosure is required in
the notes to FS.
3. At year-end (FS preparation date), a Loss on Purchase Commitment and an Estimated Liability for Purchase Commitment
are recognized if the current price is lower than the committed price. No entry is recognized if it is otherwise.
4. At the time of actual delivery:
a. The “Purchases” account is debited at the lower of the committed price and the current price
b. The “Accounts Payable” account is credited always at the committed price
c. Additional “Loss on Purchase Commitment” is to be recognized if the current price at the time of delivery is lower
than the current price at year-end.
d. “Gain on Purchase Commitment” shall be recognized if the current price at the time of delivery is higher than the
current price at year-end. However, the amount of gain to be recognized should not exceed the losses previously
recognized.

FINANCIAL ACCOUNTING AND REPORTING 0

Bank Reconciliation – is a statement which brings into agreement the cash balance per book (depositor’s record) and cash
balance per bank as reflected in the bank statement.

Reconciling Items
1. Book Reconciling Items
a. Timing Difference
i. Credit memos – items not representing deposits credited by the bank to the account of the depositor but are not
yet recorded by the depositor as cash receipts as at cut-off date.
ii. Debit memos - - items not representing checks paid by the bank which are charged or debited by the bank to
the account of the depositor but are not yet recorded by the latter as cash disbursements as at cut-off date.
b. Book errors (errors committed, in good faith, by the depositor)

2. Bank Reconciling Items


a. Timing Difference
i. Deposits in transit – collections already recorded by the depositor as cash receipts but are not yet reflected on
the bank statement.
ii. Outstanding checks – checks already recorded by the depositor as cash disbursements but are not yet reflected
on the bank statement.
b. Bank errors (errors committed, in good faith, by the bank)

Forms of Bank Reconciliation:

Book balance, adjusted xx Bank balance, adjusted xx Bank balance, unadjusted xx Book balance, unadjusted xx
*Errors should be corrected by the same party which committed the same. The adjustment (added or deducted)shall depend on the nature
of the error and the form of bank reconciliation adopted by the Company.

Two – Date Bank Reconciliation:


This reconciliation attempts to reconcile the beginning and ending balances of the Company’s cash in bank account.

Guide computations for the following balances:

Proof of Cash
A proof of cash is an expanded reconciliation which attempts to reconcile the beginning cash in bank balance, current period receipts,
current period disbursements and cash in bank ending balance.

*Errors should be corrected by the same party which committed the same. The adjustment (added or deducted) shall depend on the nature
of the error and the form of bank reconciliation adopted by the Company.

Important notes on the preparation of Proof of Cash:


1. Book debits and bank credits pertain to cash receipts while book credits and bank debits refer to cash disbursements.
2. Proof of cash intends to cancel the effects of timing differences in the recording of cash in bank transactions.
3. Receipts and disbursements related to cash in bank must be recorded in the month where the actual collection or payment of cash has
taken place.

PROBLEM NO. 1
On December 31, 2020, NO FERA Co. provided the following data:

Cash in bank 4,000,000.00


Time deposit – 30 days 3,000,000.00
Money market placement due on June 30, 2021 2,000,000.00
Saving deposit in a closed bank 100,000.00
Sinking fund for bond payable due on June 30, 2022 1,500,000.00
Petty cash fund 20,000.00

Additional information:
A. The cash in bank included customer check of P100,000 outstanding for 18-months.

B. Check of P200,000 in payment of accounts payable was dated and recorded on December 31, 2020 but mailed to creditors
only on January 15, 2021.

C. Check of P150,000 dated January 31, 2021 in payment of accounts payable was recorded and mailed on December 31,
2020.

D. The reporting period of the entity is the calendar year. The cash receipts journal was held open until January 15, 2021
during which time an amount of P500,000 was collected and recorded on December 31, 2020.

REQUIRED:
1. Prepare the adjusting entries related to the cash items on December 31, 2020.

2. Compute the total amount of cash and cash equivalents that should be reported on December 31, 2020.

3. Explain the presentation of the items excluded from cash and cash equivalents.

ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS (Problem No. 1):


1A Accounts receivable 100,000.00
Cash in bank 100,000.00

Explanation: When checks received from customers are not immediately deposited and have been outstanding for a
long period of time (hence, considered already as STALE), the same lose their character of being readily acceptable by
the bank for immediate deposit and credit, hence, are no longer considered cash but must be reverted back to Accounts
Receivable account (since the checks came from the customers).

1B Cash in bank 200,000.00


Accounts payable 200,000.00

Explanation: Check payments are considered as validly paid if they satisfy the following: (1) DATED - the check date is
either the date of issuance or an earlier date; (2) DELIVERED - the check must have been delivered to the payee as of
the cut-off date; and (3) IN GOOD FORM - the check does not contain any mark, must bear all required signature, must
not be dilapidated etc.. Since the check under Item B is undelivered as of cut-off date, no valid payment is made, hence,
the amount must be reverted back to cash in bank and the liability to the payee must be re-established.

1C Cash in bank 150,000.00


Accounts payable 150,000.00

Explanation: Since the check under Item C is post-dated, no valid payment is made, hence, the amount must be
reverted back to cash in bank and the liability to the payee must be re-established. (See explanation under Item No. 1B)

1D Accounts receivable 500,000.00


Cash in bank 500,000.00
Explanation: Item D is an example of window dressing where the books of the Company are deliberately held open until
the first few days of the immediately succeeding period. Transactions made in the succeeding period are recorded in the
current year,as if the same transpired during the current year to provide a favorable picture of the Company's financial
performance and/or position.

2 Cash in bank [ 4,000,000 - 100,000 + 200,000 + 150,000 - 500,000 ] 3,750,000.00


Time deposit - 30 days 3,000,000.00
Petty cash fund 20,000.00
Total cash and cash equivalents 6,770,000.00

Explanations:
a) The time deposit is included since the term of the deposit is only 30 days ("3 months or less" rule).

b) The money - market placement was not acquired within 3 months before date of maturity, hence, it does not qualify as
a cash equivalent.

c) The savings deposit is excluded from cash since it pertains to a deposit that is held in a closed bank, hence, not
available for current use.

d) The savings deposit is excluded from cash since the liability to which it pertains is classified as a noncurrent liability as
at December 31, 2020. Accordingly, applying the rule on "parallel treatment", the sinking fund will follow the
classification of the related liability.

e) The PCF is included since it is available for current use.

3 The money - market placement is reported as a short-term investment (holding period over 3 months but not over 1 year).

The saving deposit in a closed bank is reported as other noncurrent asset.

The sinking fund is classified as a noncurrent investment and is presented among noncurrent assets.

PROBLEM NO. 2
On December 31, 2020, NO FERA Co. provided the following data:
Cash on hand 500,000.00
Petty cash fund 50,000.00
Security bank – current account 3,000,000.00
PNB - current account 1,200,000.00
BDO – current account (overdraft) (300,000.00)
BSP – treasury bill (120 days) 1,000,000.00
BPI – time deposit 500,000.00
Bond sinking fund 1,500,000.00

Additional information:
A. The cash on hand included a customer post-dated check of P150,000 and postal money order of P40,000.

B. The petty cash fund included unreplenished petty cash vouchers for P10,000 and an employee check for P5,000 dated
January 31, 2021.

C. The BPI – time deposit is set aside for the acquisition of land to be made in early January 2021.

D. The bond sinking fund is set aside for the payment of bond payable due on December, 31, 2021.

REQUIRED:
1. Prepare the adjusting entries related to the cash items on December 31, 2020.

2. Compute the total amount of cash and cash equivalents that should be reported on December 31, 2020.

3. Explain the presentation of the items excluded from cash and cash equivalents.
ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS (Problem No. 2):
1A Accounts receivable 150,000.00
Cash on hand 150,000.00

Explanation: Checks received from customers that are post-dated lose their character of being readily acceptable by the
bank for immediate deposit and credit, hence, are not considered cash yet but must be reverted back to Accounts
Receivable account (since the checks came from the customers). The postal money order, if silent is assumed to be
dated, hence part of cash since it is readily acceptable by the bank for deposit.

1B Expenses 10,000.00
Receivable from employees 5,000.00
Petty cash fund 15,000.00

Explanation: The fund was not replenished at year-end. Under the imprest fund system of accounting for PCF, an
adjusting entry is required in order to reflect the actual balance of the fund at year-end and to record the charges made
against the fund. The unreplenished petty cash vouchers are assumed to pertain to various expenses while the
employee check that is post-dated (accomodation check) is debited to Receivable from employees, a nontrade
receivable account. The accomodation check is a check issued to a third-party which was endorsed and encashed out of
the petty cash fund. The accomodation check, if DATED, is part of petty cash fund.

1C No adjusting entry is necessary. The BPI - time deposit is not a cash equivalent item since it is set aside for the
purchase of land, a noncurrent asset. Regardless of the timing of disbursement, a fund set aside for the acquisition of a
noncurrent asset remains to be classified as a noncurrent fund.

1D No adjusting entry is necessary. The bond sinking fund is presented among cash items since the liabllity, for which it was
established, is classified as a current liability as at end of the year. The "parallel treatment" rule is applied for Item D -
liability is current, hence the fund is also classified as current and presented among cash items.

2 Cash on hand ( 500,000 - 150,000 ) 350,000.00


Petty cash fund ( 50,000 -10,000 - 5,000 ) 35,000.00
Security bank - current account 3,000,000.00
PNB - current account 1,200,000.00
Bond sinking fund 1,500,000.00
Total cash and cash equivalents 6,085,000.00

3 The BDO - current account (overdraft) is not offset against the other current accounts since it is maintained in another
bank. It should be presented as a current liability.

The BSP - treasury bill is not a cash equivalent item since its holding period is more than 3 months (120 days). It should
be classified as a short-term investment (holding period or maturity date of more than 3 months but not over 1 year)

The BPI - time deposit is not a cash equivalent item since it is set aside for the purchase of land, a noncurrent asset.
Regardless of the timing of disbursement, a fund set aside for the acquisition of a noncurrent asset remains to be
classified as a noncurrent fund.

PROBLEM NO. 3
On December 31, 2020, NO FERA Co. provided the following data:

Cash on hand 2,000,000.00


Petty cash fund 50,000.00
Cash in bank 5,000,000.00
Savings deposit 3,000,000.00
Time deposit (90 day - term) 1,500,000.00

Additional information:

A. The cash on hand included the following:


(1) Customer check of P100,000 returned by bank on December 26, 2020 due to insufficient fund but subsequently
redeposited and cleared by bank on January 05, 2021.
(2) Customer check for P150,000 dated January 20, 2021, received on December 23, 2020.

(3) Postal money orders received from customers, P250,000.

B. The petty cash fund is comprised of the following items as at end of the year:
Currency & coins 2,000.00
Employees’ IOUs 10,000.00
Currency in envelope marked “collections for Christmas party” 5,000.00
Check drawn by NO FERA payable to the PCF cashier 33,000.00
Total petty cash fund 50,000.00

C. A check written, dated and delivered to the payee on December 23, 2020 amounting to P200,000 in payment of accounts
payable was recorded during 2020 and was found to lack one of the required signatures.

REQUIRED:
(1) Adjusting entries related to the cash items on December 31, 2020
(2) Total cash on December 31, 2020

ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS (Problem No. 3):

1A.1 Accounts receivable 100,000.00


Cash on hand 100,000.00

Explanation: Checks previously received from customers and other parties which were deposited and subsequently
returned by the bank due to insufficiency of fund (NSF checks) should be reverted back to receivables since the same
are not yet considered collected because the checks are not acceptable by the bank for immediate credit. No adjusting
entry is made if NSF checks returned by the bank are subsequently redeposited and cleared the bank during the same
accounting period.

1A.2 Accounts receivable 150,000.00


Cash on hand 150,000.00

Explanation: Checks received from customers that are post-dated lose their character of being readily acceptable by the
bank for immediate deposit and credit, hence, are not considered cash yet but must be reverted back to Accounts
Receivable account (since the checks came from the customers).

1A.3 No adjusting entry is required. The postal money order is readily acceptable by the bank for immediate deposit and
credit, hence, the item is properly reported as part of cash.

1B Receivable from employees 10,000.00


Cash short/over 5,000.00
Petty cash fund 15,000.00

Explanation: The check drawn before year-end payable to the petty cash custodian represents the replenishment check
for the period. However, the Employee IOUs charged to the PCF are not considered cash as at year-end but must be
reported as receivables. Further, the collections for the Christmas Party which were reflected as part of the PCF should
be excluded from the fund and a cash shortage must be recognized at year-end.

2 Cash on hand ( 2,000,000 - 100,000 - 150,000 ) 1,750,000.00


Petty cash fund ( 50,000 -15,000 ) 35,000.00
Cash in bank ( 5,000,000 + 200,000 ) 5,200,000.00
Savings deposit 3,000,000.00
Total cash as at December 31, 2020 9,985,000.00
NOTE: The time deposit is a cash equivalent item (90-day term). However, since the requirement at year-end is TOTAL
CASH only, cash equivalent items are therefore not considered. Should the problem require the total cash and cash
equivalents at year-end, the answer would then be P 11,735,000 ( 9,985,000 + 1,750,000 )

ANSWERS AND EXPLANATIONS (Problem No. 4):

1A.1 Accounts receivable 30,000.00


Cash on hand 30,000.00

Explanation: Checks previously received from customers and other parties which were deposited and subsequently
returned by the bank due to insufficiency of fund (NSF checks) should be reverted back to receivables since the same
are not yet considered collected because the checks are not acceptable by the bank for immediate credit. No adjusting
entry is made if NSF checks returned by the bank are subsequently redeposited and cleared the bank during the same
accounting period.

1A.2 Accounts receivable 20,000.00


Cash on hand 20,000.00

Explanation: Checks received from customers that are post-dated lose their character of being readily acceptable by the
bank for immediate deposit and credit, hence, are not considered cash yet but must be reverted back to Accounts
Receivable account (since the checks came from the customers).
1.B Receivable from employees 2,000.00
Expenses 12,000.00
Cash short/over 1,000.00
Petty cash fund 15,000.00

Explanation: The Employee IOUs charged to the PCF are not considered cash as at year-end but must be reported as
receivables whie the unreplenished PC vouchers are assumed to be related to expense charges, hence, are debited to
Expenses. Further, the difference between the should be balance of the fund of P6,000 (P20,000 - P2,000 - P12,000)
and the balance of P5,000 as reported by the custodian should be initially recognized as a cash shortage at year-end.

1.C.1 Cash in bank 100,000.00


Accounts payable 100,000.00

Explanation: Check payments are considered as validly paid if they satisfy the following: (1) DATED - the check date is
either the date of issuance or an earlier date; (2) DELIVERED - the check must have been delivered to the payee as of
the cut-off date; and (3) IN GOOD FORM - the check does not contain any mark, must bear all required signature, must
not be dilapidated etc.. Since the check under Item C.1 is undelivered as of cut-off date, no valid payment is made,
hence, the amount must be reverted back to cash in bank and the liability to the payee must be re-established.

1.C.2 Cash in bank 75,000.00


Accounts payable 75,000.00

Explanation: Since the check under Item C.2 is post-dated, no valid payment is made, hence, the amount must be
reverted back to cash in bank and the liability to the payee must be re-established. (See explanation under Item No. 1.C1)

2 Cash on hand ( 200,000 - 30,000 - 20,000 ) 150,000.00


Petty cash fund ( 20,000 - 15,000 ) 5,000.00
CDO current account ( 5,000,000 + 100,000 + 75,000) 5,175,000.00
Tsinabank current accounts, net of overdraft (4,000,000 - 100,000 ) 3,900,000.00
Waterbank savings account 250,000.00
Waterbank time deposit - 90 days 2,000,000.00
Total cash and cash equivalents 11,480,000.00

The overdraft in Tsinabank current account No. 2 is offset against the balance of Tsinabank current account No. 1 since
the two accounts are maintained in the same bank.

The Waterbank savings account and time deposit (90 days) account are cash and cash equivalent items since they both
satisfy the qualification requirements for cash (savings account) and cash equivalents (time deposit).
