1. The individual accounts receivable ledger accounts provide business managers with information on the status of individual customer accounts, which is necessary for managing collections. Managersneed to know which customers owe money, how much they owe, and how long the amount owed has been outstanding.

2. The major advantages of the use of special journals are substantial savings in record-keeping expenses and a reduction of record-keeping errors.

3. a. 400b. None

4. a. 400b. 1

5. a. Sometime following the end of the current month, one of two things may happen: (1) an overdue notice will be received from Kelly Co., and/or (2) a letter will be received from Kelley Co., informing the buyer of the overpayment. (It is also possible that the error will be discovered at the time of making payment if the original invoice is inspected at the time the check is being written.)

b. The schedule of accounts payable would not agree with the balance of the accounts payable account. The error might also be discovered at the time the invoice is paid.

c. The creditor will call the attention of the debtor to the unpaid balance of $800.

d. The error will become evident during the verification process at the end of the month. The total debits in the purchases journal will be less than the total credits by $3,600.

6. a. Purchases journal d. Cash payments journalb. Cash payments journal e. Cash payments journalc. Purchases journal

7. An electronic form is a software window that provides the inputs for a particular transaction. For example, a check form provides the inputs (payee, amount, date) for a cash payment transaction. An electronic invoice provides the inputs (customer, amount sold, item sold) for recording revenues earned on account.

8. Transactions are posted when they are entered into the computerized system. Thus, balances areupdated continuously as transactions occur.

9. For automated systems that use electronic forms, the special journals are not used to record original transactions. Rather, electronic forms capture the original transaction detail from an invoice, for example, and automatically post the transaction details to the appropriate ledger accounts.

10. E-commerce can be used by a business to conduct transactions directly with customers. Thus, an order can be received directly from the customer’s Internet input, and cash can be received from the credit card. Many times, the cash is received prior to actually shipping the product, resulting in a faster revenue/collection cycle. Reducing paperwork throughout the cycle also improves the efficiency of the process. For example, all of the accounting transactions can be fed automatically from the initial Internet-based inputs.

CHAPTER 5 Accounting Systems

Ex. 5-10 (Concluded)

c. The accounts receivable subsidiary ledger is needed to track customer services provided on account and customer collections. Without the subsidiary ledger, Lasting Summer Inc. would not know who owes how much for services rendered. Furthermore, without the subsidiary ledger, it would be impossible to manage collections from individual customers.

Total accounts payable $3,750

The total of the creditor accounts on September 30, 20Y4, $3,750, equals the balance of the accounts payable controlling account, shown as follows:

Sept. 30 915 Sept. 1 Bal.3030 Bal.

c. Happy Tails Inc. uses a subsidiary ledger for accounts payable to track its credit purchases and payments to the individual supplier. This is needed so that it knowshow much it owes to each individual supplier. Without the subsidiary ledger, Happy Tails Inc. would have difficulty accurately paying suppliers for the amount owed in atimely manner.

Ex. 5-19a. Two errors were made in balancing the accounts in the subsidiary ledger:

(1) The Carbon Supplies Inc. transaction of March 9 should have resulted in a balance of $15,300 instead of $14,000, and the account balance at March 12 should have been $15,000 instead of $13,700. The account balance at March 20 should have been $9,200 instead of $7,900.

(2) The Hudson Bay Minerals Co. transaction of March 25 should have resulted in abalance of $700 instead of $1,700.

a. In the electronic invoice form from QuickBooks® shown above, typical

fields for data input can be identified as follows:

1. Customer name and address2. Date and invoice number 3. Description of item sold4. Amount of revenue

b. The customer Accounts Receivable is debited, and Fees Earned is credited.A computerized accounting system does not require posting to a separate accounts receivable control account. In this case, the total accounts receivable reported on the balance sheet is merely the sum of the balances of the individual customer account balances. That is, the accounts receivable account summarizes the customer accounts automatically.

CHAPTER 5 Accounting Systems

Ex. 5-22 (Concluded)

c. Controlling accounts are not posted at the end of the month in a computerized accounting system. Transactions are recorded through data input into electronic forms, into electronic special journals, or for infrequent transactions, by an electronic general journal. Balances of affected accounts are automatically postedand updated from the information recorded on the form. If desired, the computercan provide a printout of the monthly transaction history for a particular account, which provides the same information as a journal. In addition, the controlling account is not posted separately. In a manual system, separate posting to the controlling account provides additional control by reconciling the controlling account balance against the sum of the individual customer account balances. However, in a computerized accounting system, there are no separate postings to a controlling account because the computer is not going to make posting or mathematical errors. Therefore, there is no need for the additional control provided by posting a journal total to a controlling account.

Ex. 5-23

a. iTunes is an example of a B2C, or business-to-consumer, e-commerce application.The B, or business, is Apple. The C, or consumers, would mostly be individuals who purchase digital products from the download store.

b. Cash 15Fees Earned 15

c. The cash receipts journal would be used to record debits to Cash from cash sales or collections on account.

d. The electronic invoice form could be used for either transactions on account, as illustrated in the chapter, or for cash sales. The invoice form used for sales on account is different from the one used for cash sales. The latter invoice form makes a debit to Cash, rather than a debit to a customer account.

e. Sales made on B2C e-commerce transactions are computerized transactions, so a special journal is inappropriate. On an e-commerce site, the consumer inputs the transaction information on the web page; thus, there is no need for a separate electronic form for reentering the same information to record the sale. Essentially, the e-commerce application is the form that originates the sales transaction inside the accounting system. Accounting transactions flow directly from the shopping cart information directly into the accounting system.

c. The horizontal analysis indicates that the total revenues of Starbucks increasedby more than 16% (16.5%) from the prior year to the recent year. This increase is

explained by continued consumer preference for Starbucks coffee and aggressiveAsian expansion. Revenues increased by 112% in China/Asia Pacific versus 11%in the Americas. This was a noticeable difference in growth. Apparently, there are more store openings in China/Asia Pacific than in the Americas. EMEA actually declined slightly (−6%) between the two years, indicating a maturing market. Thevertical analysis indicates that the percent of Americas’ revenues to total revenues decreased from 72.8% in the prior year to 69.4% in the recent year. In this sameperiod, the percent of China/Asia Pacific to total revenues increased from 6.9% in the prior year to 12.5% in the recent year. This again confirms significant growth in China. Channel Development grew by 12% and nearly maintained its percentof total revenues between the two years. Both analyses indicate that China/Asia Pacific has been the primary engine for Starbucks’ growth.

b. Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. is moderately diversified. The Cable Network Programming segment has the largest percent of revenues to total revenues at 45.4%. This segment represents almost half the revenues of the company. However, Television and Filmed Entertainment have a percent of revenues to total revenues of over 16% and 31%, respectively. Thus, these are significant segments suggesting a degree of diversification when all three are considered together.

The Direct Broadcast Satellite Television segment is the smallest segment with revenues equal to 7% of total revenues and thus provides some minor additionaldiversification.

*The sum is less than 100% due to rounding errors in the percentage calculations.

c. The total revenues have declined by 1.3% between the two years. The largest declines occurred in the KFC (−7.7%) and India (−18.4%) segments. These declines more than offset the increase in the Taco Bell segment. Thus, overall, there was a small decline in revenue. The vertical analysis indicates that China represents the largest segment as a percent of revenues (52.7%), followed by KFC (22.5%) and Taco Bell (15.2%). The KFC segment dropped significantly as a percent of revenues between the two years (24.0% vs. 22.5%), while Taco Bell grew as a percent of total revenues between the two years (14.0% vs. 15.2%).

4. The computerized system is more efficient. Each sales transaction is entered into an electronic invoice form. The postings to the accounts receivable subsidiary and fees earned ledgers are automatic. Also, all sums and totals in the subsidiary ledgers are calculated automatically. There are no separate postings to an accounts receivable control account because there is no need to verify the accuracy of account totals. There is no math or posting error. The computerizedsystem also provides management with current customer account balanceinformation because the postings are automatic.

6. The sum of the customer balances is in agreement with the controlling account.Both have balances of $13,220 ($7,470 + $5,500 + $250).

7. In an automated system, individual sales transactions are posted automatically to the general ledger at the time of the original transaction. Thus, there is no need to post summary totals to the general ledger accounts. The accounts receivable account reported on the balance sheet is often merely the sum of the individual customer accounts.

4. The computerized system is more efficient. Each sales transaction is entered intoan electronic invoice form. The postings to the accounts receivable subsidiary and fees earned ledgers are automatic. Also, all sums and totals in the subsidiary ledgers are calculated automatically. There are no separate postings to an accounts receivable control account because there is no need to verify the accuracy of account totals. There is no math or posting error. The computerized system also provides management with current customer account balance information becausethe postings are automatic.

6. The sum of the customer balances is in agreement with the controlling account.Both have balances of $2,300 ($860 + $400 + $1,040).

7. In an automated system, individual sales transactions are posted automaticallyto the general ledger at the time of the original transaction. Thus, there is no need to post summary totals to the general ledger accounts. The accounts receivable account reported on the balance sheet is often merely the sum of the individual customer accounts.

CP 5-1

a. The half-price offer is a normal business practice so long as it is not the result of price collusion with other competitors or is considered “unfair pricing” according to federal statutes. Many businesses offer low initial services to entice customers to a subscription service. For example, cable and satellite companies often offer premium channels, such as HBO, for free for the first several months of service. The business objective of low initial pricing is to demonstrate the value of the service so that customers will elect to continue the service at the full subscription price. Thus, there is nothing inherently unethical about such a practice, and it is considered a fairly typical business practice.

b. Customer “lock-in” can be unethical if it is the result of fixing prices or acquiring competitors to achieve monopolistic concentration within an industry. However, in this case, the customer lock-in is a function and nature of the product. Namely, the data that are created by the product cannot be easily migrated to another application. Note that Netbooks is not denying the customer ownership of the data; rather, Netbooks is making it costly to switch. Such lock-in is not considered an unethical business practice. Indeed, we see such lock-in characteristics in many settings. For example:

● Razor blades are designed to be used only by the handle of the manufacturer. Thus, customers become locked in to the razor blades of the handle manufacturer. This is such a common strategy in many arenas that it has been termed the “razor blade strategy.”

● Movie theaters prevent customers from walking in with refreshments, thus locking theater goers in to the popcorn and refreshment stand of the theater. Theater pricing of refreshments reflects this lock-in.

● Sony designs video games so that they only work on its PlayStation®

equipment. Therefore, the games are locked in to the consoles. This allows Sony and its licensees to limit and control competition for games.

● Many manufacturers control replacement parts for equipment by custom-designing the parts. Customers then become locked in to the original manufacturer for replacement parts.

● Apple Computer’s iTunes can only be played on an iTunes-compatible player. Thus, Apple reduces competition for songs for its player and locks customers in to its music platform. Apple employs the same lock-in strategy for its Mac®

operating system.

To: Senior ManagementFrom: StudentRe: Cloud-based accounting software

A new approach to automating our accounting requirements is now available. It iscalled cloud-based accounting using a cloud computing provider. Rather than

purchasing our accounting software and loading it on our own computers, cloud-based accounting software is rented and resides on the provider’s computers. Our data, along with the accounting software, stay with the provider. There are severaladvantages to this approach.

1. We don’t need to administer the application or data on our own computers. This becomes the job of the service provider, thus saving us computer systempersonnel costs. All we need is a desktop computer and a browser to use thesoftware.

2. Our people can work with our data anytime or anyplace. We don’t need to rely onour own internal computer network for accounting-related work. Instead, this product is available on the Internet. So, we can enter transactions and access our accounting data from anywhere in the world, meaning that we don't have to be plugged into our corporate network. This also will save us network support costs.

3. We don't need to purchase and load software upgrades. All upgrades are provided on the provider’s server when they are available. Thus, we are alwaysusing the latest version.

4. Providers promise a highly secure environment for our data.

5. A cloud-based accounting system should help us when data, such as orders,are passed between us and our customers and suppliers.

We also need to consider a number of disadvantages.

1. The cost of the software is recurring. Thus, we are trading the recurring costs ofmaintaining our system infrastructure for the recurring cost of the service. A financial analysis should be conducted to determine whether the service is cost-effective.

2. The Internet can be slow. During busy times, we may experience slow responsetimes.

3. Our data physically reside with the service provider. Thus, we don’t control thesecurity of our own data; the provider does. Our data are our lifeblood, so confidence in the provider’s controls is paramount.

4. Once we begin, we become “locked in” to the provider. It will be hard to change ourmind at a later date. However, to some extent, this is also true for purchasedsoftware.

Kyle is missing some of the principal benefits of the computerized system. Acomputerized system has three primary advantages. First, the computerized system is more efficient and accurate at transaction processing. In the computerized system, once the transaction data have been input, the information is simultaneously recorded in the electronic journal (file) and posted to the ledger accounts. This saves a significant amount of time in recording and posting transactions. Second, the computerized environment is less prone to mathematical, posting, and recording errors. The computer does not make these types of mistakes. Thus, the computerized environment should require less time correcting errors. Third, the computerized system provides more timely information to management because account balances are kept current. Under the manual system, ledger accounts are only as current as the latest posting date, but the computerized system posts every transaction when it is journalized or recorded on a form. Thus, management has more current information with which to make decisions.

As an additional note, Kyle may be reacting out of fear of the unknown. This is a common reaction to change. Thus, Kyle may be overreacting to the new computer environment because it will require significant change in the way the job is done as compared to the manual approach.

CP 5-5a. The accounts receivable and accounts payable accounts consist of transactions

with individual customers and creditors (suppliers). In both cases, the subsidiaryledger tracks what is collectible from customers or owed to suppliers. Thus, the subsidiary ledger is required for tracking the collection and payment process to individual customers and suppliers, respectively.

b. The equipment account could use a subsidiary ledger. The subsidiary ledger for equipment would track individual items of equipment, including their cost, location, and useful lives. The subsidiary ledger would be useful for determining equipment depreciation and safeguarding equipment assets.

1. Special journals are used to reduce the processing time and expense to record transactions. A special journal is usually created when a specific type of transaction occurs frequently enough so that the use of the traditional two-column journal becomes cumbersome. The frequency of transactions for Omni Care would probably justify the following special journals:

Purchases journalCash payments journalRevenue journalCash receipts journal

Note to Instructors: Judgment is required in determining the number and nature

of the special journals to be established for Omni Care. Differences of opinion may exist as to whether all the preceding special journals are necessary or cost-efficient. You may want to use this time to comment further on the costs of establishing special journals and the potential benefits of reducing the processing time to record transactions.
