Pretend it is January 2021 and you have just been hired as the Controller for Water King, Inc.
(WKI), a corporation that began as a retailer of personal watercraft (Jet Ski and similar
ands).
WKI has just finished an eventful year in which it launched a new parts and repair service and a
new training program. During 2019, WKI also entered into a venture in which it constructs
docking facilities (marinas).
Your predecessor left the firm in a hu
y. Your primary responsibility is to finish the 2020 year-
end financial statements. Specifically, you must complete:
1) any necessary co
ecting journal entries
2) all the adjusting journal entries
3) the trial balances (note: columns L-P are provided so you can
eak out the
continuing and discontinued operations, as described in item g, below … remember,
they both need to balance!)
4) the closing journal entries
5) a complete multi-step Income Statement for the year ended Dec. 31, 2020
6) a classified Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2020
You, of course, will include supporting documentation. For each issue, you must provide:
• A
ief description of the issue and your action—that is, identify whether:
1) if an inco
ect entry was made, what was the inco
ect entry, why was it inco
ect,
and how did you co
ect it; or
2) if a normal adjusting entry is needed, why the adjustment is needed; or state that no
change or adjustment is needed
An example of a description might be: “The adjustment for the allowance for sales
eturns omitted the existing balance in the refund liability account so I subtracted this
amount from the estimated allowance needed; I reversed the inco
ect adjusting entry,
then applied the co
ect adjusting entry.”
• Detailed calculations to support any values you use in your journal entries
The 2019 annual Income Statement and Balance Sheet are provided in the spreadsheet. On the
Balance Sheet, the 2019 column is
oken out into continuing and discontinued amounts to help
you prepare the prior year column of the 2020 Balance Sheet. Notice that WKI reports in
thousands of dollars, with one decimal place. You should continue this in XXXXXXXXXXIn addition, the
Unadjusted Trial Balance for 2020 has been prepared. You do not need to round intermediate
calculations, but you should round all journal entries to whole dollars. The following information
was gathered to help you in preparing any necessary journal entries. Good luck!
Information About Normal Operations:
a. Cost of Goods Sold: WKI uses a periodic FIFO inventory system for its normal personal
watercraft operations. A physical inventory count indicated 280 units on hand at the end of
2020.

. Bad debt for Accounts Receivable: WKI management does not expect there to be any
change in the collectability of its credit sales related to its regular personal watercraft sales.
WKI uses the Accounts Receivable approach to estimate bad debts, and the aging schedule at
12/31/2020 is summarized below:
Days outstanding % of Accts Rec Estimated % Uncollectible
0-30 days 67.5% 0.50%
30-60 days 22% 1.50%
60-90 days 9% 10.00%
90 days 1.5% 40.00%
c. In addition to its personal watercraft products, WKI's management entered into a long-term
agreement on October 1, 2020 to begin supplying repair parts, along with repair services, to a
egional chain of marinas. The details of the agreement called for WKI to be paid $4,400,000
up front for a stock of repair parts and 2 years of repair services (beginning on the agreement
date). The chain of marinas could have bought just the parts for $4,125,000, and they could
have independently contracted for the repair services for $1,100,000 for the two-year period.
WKI determines the sales price and directs the repair operations. The cost of the repair parts
sold to the marina chain was $2,640,000.
In addition, as part of the contract, WKI has negotiated a performance bonus if it is able to
meet certain operating thresholds at the end of the contract. The bonus terms specify a
payment of one of the following three amounts: a base payment for completing the contract
of $150,000, or a second-tier amount of $300,000, or a top-tier payment of $500,000. WKI
management estimates the following percentage likelihoods of achieving these bonus levels:
ase – 30%, 2nd tier – 60%, top tier – 10%. WKI uses the expected value approach to
determine the value of this variable consideration. WKI has determined the time value of
money to be immaterial in this transaction.
Note: WKI plans to use separate accounts in its G/L for the revenue—and for any unearned
evenue—for (1) repair parts, (2) repair services, and (3) repair bonus, but it plans to combine
these three accounts together for reporting on the financial statements. WKI considers this
epair business of its normal operations. Your predecessor recorded this as a point-of-sale
transaction, with the services and bonus treated as “free” additions.
d. In July, 2020 WKI also launched a new service (called “Jet Ski Training” on the trial balance
worksheet). The Jet Ski Training is offered through contracted independent instructors.
Each instructor sets her own price for a training session. WKI connects interested
individuals with the instructors but does not directly provide any of the training. For its
services and per the contract, WKI is entitled to 15% of the total per session fee. WKI also
considers this training service part of its normal operations for financial reporting. WKI
ecorded the entire amount of the fee collected as revenue and recognized its costs (mostly
paying the instructors) as 85% of the fee.
e. On August 1, 2020, WKI a
anged for a 3-year, $2,000,000 loan from a bank to help fund its
growing operations. The annual interest rate is for this loan 5.4%, with interest to be paid in
cash semi-annually.

Additional Information:
f. Finally, in addition to its normal operations, WKI also has launched a division that builds
docking facilities. At the end of 2019, there was one large marina under construction: the
$2,600,000 Horizon Marina (HM) project—a state-of-the-art water sports facility. This
project, which was started in August, 2019, qualifies as a single performance obligation with
evenue recognized over the period of the project according to the percentage-of-completion
method based on a cost-to-cost approach. The original estimated cost for the PC project was
$2,028,000 at the end of XXXXXXXXXXBut WKI has been able to achieve some efficiency
improvements resulting, as of the end of 2020, in a total actual and estimated cost of
$1,872,000. The contract does not allow for renegotiation of the contracted price. WKI has a
legally binding, enforceable contract with the customer and all parties are expected to be able
to perform under the contract. The general ledger accounts Construction-in-Progress and
Billings-on-Contract show the following before any 2020 year-end adjusting entries.
Construction-in-Progress Billings-on-Contract
2019 cost 468, XXXXXXXXXX, XXXXXXXXXX
2019 AJE 132,000
2020 cost 954, XXXXXXXXXX,443, XXXXXXXXXX
Unadj. 1,554, XXXXXXXXXX,028,000 Unadj.
The Accounts Receivable balance for just this project at the end of 2019 was $117,000 and at
the end of 2020 was $243,400. These amounts are included in the A/R account balance on
the trial balance, but are not included in the A/R aging analysis described in item b. since the
marina company is expected to pay in full.
g. In December, 2020, WKI management announces its decision to sell the construction
division. In fact, it was able to tentatively negotiate a sale price of $715,000. WKI estimates
it will incur $15,000 in legal and closing costs to complete the sale, which is expected to
occur during the first half of XXXXXXXXXXAs part of the sale, WKI will include the balances of the
accounts related to the Horizon Marina project, including the CIP and Billings account, the
part of the A/R balance associated with the project, and the following additional amounts:
• Cash to balance the G/L of the division
• Accounts Receivable 243,400
• Construction in Progress as adjusted from item f
• Billings on Contract 2,028,000
• Property, Plant & Equipment 259,200
• Accumulated Depreciation 149,040
• Accounts Payable 79,600
• Retained Earnings the after-tax profit from 2020 on this division
Hint: there should be an expected gain on this sale.
h. WKI’s effective tax rate is 24%. Ignore all other taxes.
i. Prepare the closing journal entry for WKI at the end of 2020.
j. There are 350,000 shares of common stock outstanding for 2020.
