Chapter 5, Problem 5.1CP
To determine
Credit terms are the terms of payment offered by the seller to the buyer.
2/10, n/30 refers to the sales discount given to the buyer by the seller in case of prompt payment. 2/10, n/30 means the following:
- “2” is the discount percentage offered to the purchaser by the seller.
- “10” refers to the number of days available for the buyer to pay and take advantage of the discount.
- “n/30” indicates that if the payment is not made by the buyer within 30 days, then he might not be eligible for the sales discount. Hence, payment will be due for the net amount at the end of the current month.
To Discuss: Whether Mr. S behaved in a professional manner by subtracting the discount even though the discount period had expired.

The company is under pressure from investors to increase earnings, and the president of the company expects the accounting department to “make this happen.” Margie's boss, who has been a mentor to her, is concerned that if earnings do not increase, he will be terminated. Shortly after the end of the fiscal year, the company performs a physical count of the inventory. When Margie compares the physical count to the balance in the inventory account, she finds a significant amount of inventory shrinkage. The amount is so large that it will result in a significant drop in earnings this period. Margie's boss asks her not to make the adjusting entry for shrinkage this period. He assures her that they will get “caught up” on shrinkage in the next period, after the pressure is off to reach this period's earnings goal. Margie's boss asks her to do this as a personal favor to him.…arrow_forward
