(Determine Cash Balance)
Presented below are a number of independent situations.
Instructions
For each individual situation, determine the amount that should be reported as cash.

1.Checking account balance $925,000; certificate of deposit $1,400,000; cash advance to subsidiary of $980,000; utility deposit paid to gas company $180.
$ 2,325,000

Cash balance of $925,000. Only the checking account balance should be reported as cash. The certificates of deposit should be reported as a temporary investment, the cash advance to subsidiary should be reported as accounts receivable, and the utility deposit should be identified as a receivable from the gas company.

2.Checking account balance $600,000; an overdraft in special checking account at same bank as normal checking account of $17,000; cash held in a bond sinking fund $200,000; petty cash fund $300; coins and currency on hand $1,350.
$ 601,650

Cash balance is $584,650 = $600,000 - $17,000 + $300 + $1,350

Note: The Cash held in a bond sinking fund is restricted. Bonds are usually a noncurrent asset.

3.Checking account balance $590,000; postdated check from customer $11,000; cash restricted due to maintaining compensating balance requirement of $100,000; certified check from customer $9,800; postage stamps on hand $620.
$ 599,800

4. Checking account balance at bank $37,000; money market balance at mutual fund (has checking privileges) $48,000; NSF check received from customer $800.
$ 85,000

5Checking account balance $700,000; cash restricted for future plant expansion $500,000; short-term Treasury bills $180,000; cash advance received from customer $900 (not included in checking account balance); cash advance of $7,000 to company executive, payable on demand; refundable deposit of $26,000 paid to federal government to guarantee performance on construction contract.
$ 880,900

Cash balance is $700,900 = $700,000 + $900

Cash restricted for future plant expansion of $500,000 should be reported

as a noncurrent asset. Short-term treasury bills of $180,000 should be

reported as a temporary investment. Cash advance received from customer

of $900 should also be reported as a liability; cash advance of $7,000 to

company executive should be reported as a receivable; refundable deposit

of $26,000 paid to federal government should be reported as a receivable.

On July 1, 2007, Agincourt Inc. made two sales.
1. It sold land having a fair market value of $700,000 in exchange for a 4-year non-interest-bearing promissory note in the face amount of $1,101,460. The land is carried on Agincourt's books at a cost of $590,000.
2. It rendered services in exchange for a 3%, 8-year promissory note having a face value of $400,000 (interest payable annually).
Agincourt Inc. recently had to pay 8% interest for money that it borrowed from British National Bank. The customers in these two transactions have credit ratings that require them to borrow money at 12% interest.
Instructions
Record the two journal entries that should be recorded by Agincourt Inc. for the sales transactions above that took place on July 1, 2007. (For multiple debit/credit entries, list in order of magnitude. Round answers to 2 decimal places. Hint: Use tables in text.)

7/1/04Notes Receivable$400,000.00

Discount on Notes Receivable$178,836.32

Service Revenue$221,163.68

To calculate the Discount on Notes Receivable:

PV of $400,000 due in 8 years at 12% = $400,000*0.40388

= $161,552

PV of $12,000 payable annually for 8 years at 12% = $12,000*4.96764

= $59,611.68

PV of the note and interest = $161,552 + $59,611.68 = $221,163.83

Discount = $400,000 - $221,163.68 = $178,836.32

1. Beginning-of-the-year Accounts Receivable balance was $15,000.
2. Net sales (all on account) for the year were $100,000. Jones does not offer cash discounts.
3. Collections on accounts receivable during the year were $70,000.

Sales 100,000

Accounts Receivable$70,000

(b) Compute Jones' accounts receivable turnover ratio for the year. The company does not believe it will have any bad debts. (Round answer to 2 decimal places.)
(4.44) times

Accounts Receivable Turnover = Sales / Average Receivables

Beginning Accounts Receivable = $15,000

Add: Sales$100,000

Total Receivables$115,000

Less: Cash Receipts$70,000

Ending Accounts Receivable$45,000

Accounts Receivable Turnover =


(c) Use the turnover ratio computed in (b) to analyze Jones' liquidity. The turnover ratio last year was 6.0. Has Jones' ratio increased or declined?
(Declined)
This could be a bad indication of future liquidity, if customers continue to pay slowly. Jones may want to consider offering early payment (cash) discounts.
