The cards are redeemable for fireworks set-up services within one year of the purchase date. January 6 Purchase additional inventory on account, $156,000. January 15 Firework sales for the first half of the month total $144,000. All of these sales are on account. The cost of the units sold is $78,300. January 20 ACME paid a warranty claim of $21,000. January 23 Receive $126,300 from customers on accounts receivable. January 25 Pay $99,000 to inventory suppliers on accounts payable. January 28 Write off accounts receivable as uncollectible, $5,700. January 30 Firework sales for the second half of the month total $152,000. Sales include $12,000 for cash and $140,000 on account. The cost of the units sold is $84,000. January 31 Pay cash for monthly salaries, $52,900. The following information is available on January 31, 2018. Depreciation on the equipment for the month of January is calculated using the straight-line method. At the time the equipment was purchased, the company estimated a residual value of $3,900 and a two-year service life. ACME provides a quality assurance warranty on all sales, and estimates the liability associated with the warranty to be 1% of sales revenue. ACME accrues warranty expense on the last day of each month. The warranty liability covers the life of the product and so is classified as non-current. During January an appeals court ruled against ACME in a lawsuit involving a customer injury. The customer sued ACME for damages following a firework mishap. ACME now believes it is probable that it will incur a $15,900 loss associated with the claim, but it intends to pursue further appeal and the case could drag on for another couple of years. During January a customer sued ACME for damages after inadvertently igniting a Vesuvius Spark Fountain in his backpack. ACME believes the probability of incurring a loss on the claim to be remote. At the end of January, $20,000 of accounts receivable are past due, and the company estimates that 30% of these accounts will not be collected. Of the remaining accounts receivable, the company estimates that 3% will not be collected. ACME accrued interest expense on notes payable for January. ACME accrued income taxes at the end of January are $6,900. By the end of January, $3,900 of the gift cards sold on January 2 have been redeemed for fireworks set-up services.
