Explain how the time period assumption and the revenue recognition and expense recognition principles provide guidance to accountants in preparing an income statement. , S-A E 259 In developing an accounting information system, it is important to establish procedures whereby all transactions that affect the components of the accounting equation are recorded. Why then, is it often necessary to adjust the accounts before financial statements are prepared even in a properly designed accounting system? Identify the major types of adjustments that are frequently made and give a specific example of each. S-A E 260 You are visiting with a friend, Jim Borke, who wants to start a new business. During discussions on forming the business, Jim makes this statement: Our business will have accounts receivable and accounts payable. It will also acquire a substantial amount of computers and equipment. Will it be acceptable to use the cash basis of accounting? Prepare a response for Jim.

Discuss at least two items that are questionable as long-term liabilities. S-A E 262 (Ethics) Jay Farrar Company is a manufacturing company that specializes in writing instruments. The past year was a difficult one for the company, as it sought to retain its share in a market in which the largest competitors were also rapid innovators. Jay Farrar introduced a new product late in the year, even though testing was not complete. It was a pen designed with two cartridges: one supplying ink and the other correction fluid. A person could then switch easily between writing and correcting errors. It was priced fairly high, and was never heavily advertised. Even so, the Correct-O-Pen, as the product was named, was an overwhelming success. The success of the product has Josh Ritter, the manager of the New Products division, worried, however. He was concerned that quality problems would begin occurring, since the longevity of the pen and stability of the correction fluid formulation had not been tested. He did not want sales personnel to get the bonuses that appeared to be indicated, since they might aggressively promote a product that would fail in use. He preferred to complete testing of the pen first, so that more confidence could be placed in the results. Top management, however, declined the tests. Mr. Ritter then instructed you, the accountant, not to prorate payroll taxes or rent expense for the rest of the year, but to show them as current expenses in total. In this way, the new product would appear to be only slightly profitable. Required: 1. Describe the alternatives that you as an accountant would have in this situation. 2. Indicate which alternative is best. S-A E 263 (Communication) A new sales representative, Jiggs Lucero, has just received his copy of the month-end financial reports.
