Problem:
Rockford Corporation is a wholesale plumbing supply distributor. The corporation was organized in 1981, under the laws of the State of Illinois, with an authorized capitalization of 10,000 shares of no-par common stock with a stated value of $30 per share. The common stock is sold over the counter in the local area. You have been hired as of Friday, December 26, 2014, to replace the controller, who has resigned. As controller, you are responsible for the corporation’s accounting records, preparation of the financial statements, safeguarding the corporate assets, and providing management with financial information to set prices and to monitor and control operations. You have an assistant who keeps the payroll records, the plant asset ledger, and the perpetual inventory. There is an inventory subsidiary ledger that is posted to daily for purchases and sales. This ledger is not included in this practice set. The corporation secretary maintains the stockholder records, and the receptionist/secretary acts as the petty cashier.
Rockford Corporation closes its books annually on December 31 but prepares financial statements quarterly. Adjusting entries are posted to the general ledger only at year-end; at the end of the first, second, and third quarter the adjustments are entered only on a ten-column work sheet, not in the general ledger. Therefore, the adjusting entries to be recorded on December 31 are annual adjustments that you must journalize and then post to the general ledger accounts before preparing the financial statements.
Rockford Corporation maintains a perpetual inventory system and takes a physical count each year to adjust the inventory carrying amount. Purchases are recorded at the gross amount (discounts taken are recognized at the date of payment) of the supplier’s invoice, and the terms vary with each supplier. Sales on account are subject to terms of 2/10, n/30. Discounts are taken and granted only when the terms are met. The cost of all inventory sold in December was 80% of the sales price. The corporation uses the following journals and ledgers:
JOURNALS
A sales journal (S)–to record sales of merchandise on
account.
A purchases journal (P)–to record purchases of merchandise on
account.
A cash receipts journal (CR)–to record all cash receipts.
A cash disbursements journal (CD)–to record all cash
payments.
A general journal (J)–to record all transactions that cannot be
recorded in the other journals.
LEDGERS
A general ledger.
An accounts receivable subsidiary ledger.
An accounts payable subsidiary ledger.
In recording sales transactions, each sale should be posted on
the day of the sale directly to the customer’s account in the
subsidiary ledger, using the invoice number as the posting
reference number in the subsidiary account. Also, cash receipts
from customers should be posted to the subsidiary ledger on the day
they are received. The purchase order number should be used as the
posting reference number in the subsidiary ledger for purchases on
account from suppliers. Purchases from suppliers and payments to
them should be posted daily. All other individual posting may be
made weekly or at the month-end. Account numbers should be used as
posting reference numbers in the journals.
Officers and office personnel are salaried employees and are paid
monthly on the last day of each month. The delivery truck drivers
and warehouse employees are hourly wage employees and are paid
biweekly. Each biweekly pay period ends Friday. On the following
Monday your assistant, who maintains the payroll records, provides
you with a payroll summary from which you prepare general journal
entries to record the biweekly payroll and the employer’s taxes on
the payroll. The biweekly employees’ paychecks are distributed on
the following day (Tuesday).
The January 1, 2014, balances appear in the general ledger
accounts as well as the November 30, 2014, balances, for those
accounts whose balances have changed. All transactions affecting
the noncurrent accounts from January 1, 2014, through November 30,
2014, with explanations, appear in these accounts to facilitate the
preparation of the statement of cash flows.
Subsidiary ledger account balances as of November 30, 2014, are as

accounts):

Income between $100,000 and $335,000 is assessed a 5% federal
surtax, not to exceed $11,750.
Hint: Corporations subject to federal income tax must make
estimated tax payments throughout the year. At the time of the
payment, the account Income Tax Expense is debited and Cash is
credited. To determine the taxable income at year end, net the
total debits and total credits from the income statement in the
worksheet. Note that the estimated income tax expense is listed as
a debit and must be subtracted from total debits when determining
taxable income (federal tax is not a deductible item).
