Background: CM Corporation (CMC) was founded in 2008 by Eric Conner and Phil Martin. The company designs, sells, installs, and services security systems for high-tech companies. The founders, who describe themselves as "entrepreneurial geeks," met in a computer lab when they were teenagers and found they had common interests in working on security systems for critical industries. CMC also has one employee, Suzanne Johnson, who has an MBA. To date Suzanne has been doing all the accounting for the company. In June 2016, CMC hires you as an accounting intern.

Required:

Suzanne Johnson has just provided you with the attached preliminary unadjusted trial balance for 5/31/16. Assume this trial balance has been correctly prepared. CMC's year end is June 30th.

(A) Using the Excel General Journal spreadsheet in this file, record the June transactions listed below AND the necessary month end adjusting journal entries. Label the transactions in numeric sequence corresponding to the letters below. Each of the transactions below requires a journal entry. Note that there is a debit and credit control total at the top of the general journal so that you can check after each entry to see if you are in balance.

1. $750,000 of product was sold on account. This product had a cost of goods sold of $490,000
2. $63,000 received from customer for sales made on account in previous months.

8. On July 1, 2015, CMC sold equipment with an original cost of $10,000 and accumulated depreciation of $7,000 for $5,000. In June 2016, CMC realized this entry had not yet been recorded. Since this equipment was sold on 7/1/15, make sure not to include it in the calculation of year-end depreciation.

Suzanne also provided you the following information that she thought may be helpful in preparing the year-end financial statements.

9. On January 1, 2016, ABC Corp. had paid CMC $240,000 in advance for a year of consulting services starting on January 1, 2016. Suzanne has been properly recording consulting revenue each month.

10. Bad debt expense has been estimated at $17,807. Bad debt expense is recorded annually at the end of the year, and has not yet been recorded.

11. Interest expense accrued on long-term liabilities is $6,235. Interest should be accrued every month but has not yet been accrued for June.

12.  The Prepaid Expense account includes a three-year insurance policy purchased and recorded on January 1, 2016 for $11,520. Suzanne has been properly recognizing insurance expense each month through the end of May.

13. Depreciation is recorded annually on the straight line basis at the end of the fiscal year (i.e., no depreciation expense has been recorded yet for 2016). The company owns one building which has a useful life of 30 years and is assumed to have a $200,000 salvage value. Furniture and equpment are assumed to have a useful life of 10 years with no salvage value.

14.  On March 1st, CMC declared a dividend of $212,000, to be paid on October 20, 2016. Do not use a separate Dividends account. Debit the amount directly to Retained Earnings.

(B)   "Post" the journal entries from the General Journal to the Excel spreadsheet of T-accounts in this file. All necessary T-accounts have been provided. This should be completed through the use of Excel formulas rather than retyping the numbers in your T-accounts. Please also place the number of each transaction next to each journal entry (see transaction ‘1' in the Excel T-Account sheet for an example). TIP: Set up your spreadsheet to have debit and credit control totals so that you can check after each entry to see if you are in balance.

(C)   In Excel, prepare a Balance Sheet as of 06/30/16 and a SINGLE-STEP Income Statement for the year ended 6/30/16. This should be completed through the use of Excel formulas rather than retyping the ending balances from your T-accounts in the financial statements. Note that you do not need to record closing entries to the General Journal, just use the T-account balances to create your balance sheet and income statement. You do NOT need to prepare a Statement of Shareholders' Equity or Statement of Cash Flows. Income taxes should be ignored.
