The Widget Company – week 3 – 4 and 5

The Widget Company is a small company with only a few employees. Its line of business is to purchase several items from a line of widgets and resale them to other companies. The Company owns one small shop with two rooms, one for sales and office work, and one for product receiving and shipping. The company is owned by a group of investors and it is organized as a corporation. Widget Company uses a straight-forward financial accounting information system. Of course, accrual accounting is used. Other generally accepted accounting principles used are the $-Value LIFO of valuing product inventory, FIFO for valuing supplies, the straight-line depreciation method for matching the cost of long-term assets to periods of use (half year of depreciation in year of acquisition and disposition), and earnings per share. Widget’s fiscal year extends from January 1 through December 31. Additional information: Accounts receivable is recorded at gross. The Allowance for doubtful accounts is computed at 2% of ending accounts receivable. The Office supplies inventory is valued according to FIFO. 4 The Product inventory balance of 62,754 on December 31, 2010 is based on the following information: $-Value LIFO index at January 1, 2006 1.0000 $-Value LIFO index at December 31, 2006 1.0425 $-Value LIFO index at December 31, 2007 1.0750 $-Value LIFO index at December 31, 2008 1.0675 $-Value LIFO index at December 31, 2009 1.1400 $-Value LIFO index at December 31, 2010 1.1825 Ending inventory valued at FIFO $72,000 Ending inventory valued at base $60,888 Base layer $35,200 2006 layer at base $19,250 2009 layer at base $3,000 2010 layer at base $3,438 Ending inventory at $-Value LIFO $62,754 Prepaid insurance is for a six-month policy that expires on April 30, 2011.
