THE COMPANY:
Aylmer Industries Inc. (Aylmer) has been in business since 2018. Aylmer has two main business
segments. This first segment is the construction of large-scale projects. In 2020, Aylmer had two
large construction projects in process. The other segment is the purchase and sale of small
machines needed for the construction industry.
There are 250,000 common shares outstanding of this publicly traded company. Since Aylmer is
a publicly traded company, it follows IFRS.
There are no preferred shares outstanding.
The trial balance at December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 are provided for comparison
purposes on the tab “Trial Balance” in the excel file. Use this excel worksheet to post journal
entries required, to ensure that you remain in balance. The worksheet should also be used to
provide a basis of preparing the financial statements at December 31, 2020.
Ignore income taxes for this project.
Aylmer posted transactions throughout the year and the trial balance in excel was prepared.
Aylmer’s fiscal year-end is December 31st. As a year-end review, management of Aylmer
discovered that the following items have NOT been recorded and are NOT reflected in the
trial balance provided at December 31, 2020:
Analyze and review the following items (a – n) and determine the appropriate journal entry.
Record the journal entry in the excel file labelled “journal entries”. Use the various tabs in the
excel file to record calculations and support for your journal entries.
TRANSACTIONS NOT INCLUDED IN THE TRIAL BALANCE:
a. Calculate bad debt
On December 31, after many attempts at collecting the outstanding balance of Copper Gallery,
the controller decided to write off that balance.
Aylmer calculates bad debt on trade receivables only, not on project receivables. Bad debt is
estimated to be:
0-30 days 1%
31 – 60 days 5%
61 – 90 days 7.5%
91 – 120 days 10%
Over 120 days 15%
