This year you obtain a new client, Lee Corporation, a regional distributor of appliances. Before becoming your client, Lee had installed a microcomputer-based accounting system to handle its receivable, payables general ledger and payroll. Lee purchases its microcomputer with off-the-shelf software and appears very pleased with it. You notice that the computer sits on the bookkeeper’s desk. You ask Christian Lee, the president, about his feelings about the computer system, and he states:“The system is absolutely great. It has already saved us a lot of time and money. I get reports when I want them, not days later. In fact, it is so good, why don’t you try it? The password is LEE. You can go ahead and use it. If you want any backup files, they are stored in the supply room. We sure saved a lot of money by purchasing the system from a mail-order operation. A system analyst wanted P15,000 to help pick the best system for us, and a local dealer wanted P11,000 more for comparable hardware…

- Consider each of the following scenarios: a. A seller orally agrees with one of its best customers to deliver goods in exchange for 10,000. While the sellers practice is to obtain a written sales agreement, the seller delivered these goods to the customer without a written agreement due to the customers urgent need. b. A seller agrees to provide accounting services to a customer for the next year in exchange for 40,000. While the two parties are negotiating the terms of the agreement and the specific services to be performed, the seller begins to perform some services as a gesture of good faith. c. A seller has a written agreement to deliver goods to a customer for 50 per unit. The price will drop to 45 per unit if the customer purchases more than 2,000 units per month. d. A seller had a written agreement and provided custodial services to a customer for 2,000 per month in a previous year. The contract expired on December 31, 2019. During negotiations for a new contract in January 2020, custodial services were provided at the previous monthly rate and paid for by the buyer. The seller and the customer agree to a new contract on February 1, 2020. The seller is concerned whether a contract existed in January 2020 and whether revenue can be recognized. Required: 1. Determine if a contract exists for each of the scenarios. 2. If it is determined that a contract exists but the seller believes it is probable that it will not collect the expected consideration, how does this affect the sellers ability to recognize revenue?arrow_forwardLet's suppose you are an accounts payable clerk for a small home‐improvements contractor. This morning one of the site supervisors submitted an invoice requesting immediate payment to a new vendor for items he claims were delivered directly to a work site. The supervisor attached a note to the invoice asking that the check be returned to him upon issuance so that he could personally deliver it to the vendor. This would ensure the timeliness of future deliveries. He claims that unless the payment is made immediately, there will be delivery delays on items needed to complete this job, as well as delays on items for another contract in progress. Although you are suspicious of this unusual request, you are tempted to accommodate it. You know that timely completion and collection on these contracts is critical to the company's production scheduling and cash management. Moreover, the company president is on vacation and therefore not available to grant special authorization for this payment.…arrow_forwardAn accountant recommends a local computer company to a client that is trying to upgrade its computerized sales records.
