Note 1. The reserve for contingencies has been created by charges to earned surplus
and has been established to provide a cushion for future uncertainties.
Note 2. The inventory account includes only items physically present at the main plant
and warehouse. Items located at the company's branch sales office amounting
to $25,000 are excluded since the company has consistently followed this
procedure for many years.
Solution Problem. Balance Sheet Format
1. The heading should be as of a specific date rather than for a period of time.
2. Reserve for Depreciation is poor terminology; the title Accumulated Depreciation is
more appropriate.
3. Land and buildings should be segregated into two accounts. The Accumulated
Depreciation account should only be reported for the buildings.
4. Plant site held for future use should be shown in the Investments section.
5. Current assets should be shown on the balance sheet first in most situations;
current assets are listed usually in order of liquidity; factory supplies should be
shown as a current asset.
6. Treasury stock is not an asset, but a contra account to stockholders' equity in most
situations.
7. Notes receivable should be reported as a current asset or an investment.
8. The deferred charge items should be reclassified as follows in most situations:
Advances to salespersonscurrent asset
Prepaid rentcurrent asset
Returnable containerscurrent asset
9. Allowance for doubtful accounts should be shown as a contra account to accounts
receivable.
10. Common stock dividend distributable should be shown in stockholders' equity.
11. 5% debenture bonds should be shown on a separate line.
12. Reserve for Contingencies should be shown as an appropriation of retained
earnings. The authors prefer the term "appropriation" to the term "reserve."
13. Capital stock should be shown at the par value of the shares issued, $100,000.
Any excess should be included in a paid-in capital account.
14. Capital surplus and earned surplus are poor terminology. The terms "additional
paid-in capital" and "retained earnings" are more appropriate.
15. The dividends paid title is a misnomer. It probably is a dividends declared item that
should be closed to retained earnings.
16. No reference in the body of the statement is made to the notes. The order of the
notes is wrong.
17. Note 2 indicates that the inventory account is understated by $25,000.
