Reporting and Interpreting Sales Revenue,
Receivables, and Cash
ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
1. The difference between sales revenue and net sales includes the amount of
goods returned by customers because the goods were either unsatisfactory or
not desired, sales discounts given to business customers, and credit card fees
charged by credit card companies (also refer to the answers given below to
questions 3, 4 and 5).
2. Gross profit or gross margin on sales is the difference between net sales and
cost of goods sold. For example, assuming sales of $100,000, and cost of goods
sold of $60,000, the gross profit on sales would be $40,000.
3. A credit card discount is the fee charged by the credit card company for services.
When a company deposits its credit card receipts in the bank, it only receives
credit for the sales amount less the discount. The credit card discount account
either decreases net sales (it is a contra revenue) or increases selling expense.
8. Using the allowance method, bad debt expense is recognized in the period in
which the sale related to the uncollectible account was recorded.
9. The write-off of bad debts using the allowance method decreases the asset
accounts receivable and the contra-asset allowance for doubtful accounts by the
same amount. As a consequence, (a) net income is unaffected and (b) accounts
receivable, net, is unaffected.
10. An increase in the receivables turnover ratio generally indicates faster collection
of receivables. A higher receivables turnover ratio reflects an increase in the
number of times average trade receivables were recorded and collected during
the period.
11. Cash includes money and any instrument, such as a check, money order, or
bank draft, which banks normally will accept for deposit and immediate credit to
the depositor’s account. Cash equivalents are short-term investments with
original maturities of three months or less that are readily convertible to cash,
and whose value is unlikely to change (e.g., bank certificates of deposit and
treasury bills).
12. The primary characteristics of an internal control system for cash are: (a)
separation of the functions of cash receiving from cash payments, (b) separation
of accounting for cash receiving and cash paying, (c) separation of the physical
handling of cash from the accounting function, (d) deposit all cash receipts daily
and make all cash payments by check, (e) require separate approval of all
checks and electronic funds transfers, and (f) require monthly reconciliation of
bank accounts.
14. The purposes of a bank reconciliation are (a) to determine the “true” cash
balance and (b) to provide data to adjust the Cash account to that balance. A
bank reconciliation involves reconciling the balance in the Cash account at the
end of the period with the balance shown on the bank statement (which is not the
“true” cash balance) at the end of that same period. Seldom will these two
balances be identical because of such items as deposits in transit; that is,
deposits that have been made by the company but not yet entered on the bank
statement. Another cause of the difference is outstanding checks, that is, checks
that have been written and recorded in the accounts of the company that have
not cleared the bank (and thus have not been deducted from the bank's balance).
Usually the reconciliation of the two balances, per books against per bank,
requires recording of one or more items that are reflected on the bank statement
but have not been recorded in the accounting records of the company. An
example is the usual bank service charge.
15. The total amount of cash that should be reported on the balance sheet is the
sum of (a) the true cash balances in all checking accounts (verified by a bank
reconciliation of each checking account), (b) cash held in all “cash on hand” (or
“petty cash”) funds, and (c) any cash physically on hand (any cash not
transferred to a bank for deposit—usually cash held for change purposes).
16. (Chapter Supplement) Under the gross method of recording sales discounts, the
amount of sales discount taken is recorded at the time the collection of the
account is recorded.

* Due to the nature of these cases and projects, it is very difficult to estimate the amount
of time students will need to complete the assignment. As with any open-ended project,
it is possible for students to devote a large amount of time to these assignments. While
students often benefit from the extra effort, we find that some become frustrated by the
perceived difficulty of the task. You can reduce student frustration and anxiety by
making your expectations clear. For example, when our goal is to sharpen research
skills, we devote class time to discussing research strategies. When we want the
students to focus on a real accounting issue, we offer suggestions about possible
companies or industries.

Chichana, Nov. 2d, 1813.
“Never was any thing so disgraceful in the annals of the world as the
conduct of all the Spanish authorities on the occasion of the sickness
breaking out. It is believed that no persons have the sickness twice, and
as almost every family in Cadiz has passed the epidemic of the fever the
interested merchants would not allow it to be said that the epidemic
existed, they have continued to issue clear bills of health to vessels
leaving the port in the height of the mortality and did all they could to
intimidate the government and Cortez into remaining amongst them.”

“The party for placing the princess at the head of the Spanish regency
is gaining strength, and I should not be surprised if that measure were to
be adopted soon after our arrival at Madrid, unless a peace and the return
of Ferdinand should put an end to all such projects.”

Note.—My authority for the number of guns employed during this campaign are copies of the

artillerymen is not borne on the morning states, but in the original weekly state of the 15th of
May, 1814, I find the artillerymen, engineers, drivers, and waggon-train, amounted to four
thousand eight hundred and twenty-one, with five thousand and thirty horses and mules. This
may be taken as the average strength during the campaign, but more than half were with sir John
Hope and some with lord Dalhousie. Wherefore, the number at the battle of Toulouse could not
have exceeded fifteen hundred, making a total of all ranks and arms of fifty-three thousand
combatants.

Orders for the several divisions of the allied army for the attack of the
enemy’s fortified position in front of Toulouse for to-morrow, 1st April,
1814. Published in the United Service Journal, October 1838.
(E .)
“St. Jory, 9th April, 1814.
“The front attack of the third division is to extend from the river
Garonne to the great road which leads from the village of La Lande to
Toulouse (the road from Montauban) inclusive of that road.
“The light division will be immediately on the left of the third division,
and it will extend its front of attack from the great road above-mentioned
until it connects its left flank with the right of the Spanish troops.
“The operations of these two divisions are meant, however, more as
diversions than as real attacks; it not being expected that they will be able
to force any of the passes of the canal which covers Toulouse. The line of
the canal is to be threatened chiefly at the bridges and at the locks or any
other points where the form of the ground, or other circumstances most
favour the advance of the troops. A considerable part both of the third
and of the light divisions must be kept in reserve.”
Note.—The analysis of the allied army on the 10th of April, given in Appendix VII. Sections 6
and 7, has been very carefully made and faithfully set down; but as the real number of the allies
has lately become a point of dispute between French and English writers, I here give the Morning
State of the whole army, accurately printed from the original document delivered by the adjutant-
general to lord Wellington on the morning of the 10th of April, 1814. The reader will thus be
enabled, with the help of my text, to trace each division in its course and ascertain its true
numbers.

FOOTNOTES:
[1] Since colonel and surveyor-general of South Australia.
[2] The present major-general sir George Napier.
[3] A splendid soldier.
[4] A false stopping here misled me about the bridge. I made the allies pass
by ladders instead of the French.
[5] Since the first publication of this Letter I have learned from excellent
authority that marshal Beresford did actually in person order general sir Colin
Halket to retreat from the bridge, and rebuked him for being slow to obey.
[6] I have since obtained from other sources many of those orders of
movements signed, George Murray, and addressed to the generals
commanding divisions. Had they been given to me according to the duke of
Wellington’s desire when I first commenced my Work they would have saved
me much time much expense and much labour; but I repeat that from sir
George Murray and from him only I have met with hostility. He has not been
able to hurt me but I take the will for the deed.
[7] Above five thousand pounds.
[8] Since this was written Mr. Leader did put the question in the house when
sir George Murray’s conduct was strongly animadverted upon by lord
Howick and his lordship’s observations were loudly cheered. Sir George is
now publishing these maps, but they belong to the public.
[9] Another has appeared since but I have not read it being informed that it
was precisely like its predecessors.
[10] This work has been since discontinued by lieutenant Godwin in
consequence as he told me of foul play in a high quarter where he least
expected it.
[11] That very successful Spanish general and very temperate English
politician, sir De Lacy Evans, pronounces all such animadversions upon the
Spanish armies to be “a most deplorable defect in a historian, and the result
of violent partialities.” I dare to say the Spaniards will agree with him.
[12] This was in February.
[13] Called the Extraordinary Cortez.

B F.C. LEWIS, E .
FROM THE ORIGINAL DRAWING BY SIR THOMAS LAWRENCE, P.R.A.
This very exquisite Drawing was so highly esteemed by the late Sir Thomas Lawrence that
during his life he never could be persuaded to part with it, and from it he commenced all his
pictures of the Duke. After his decease, it was sold with his other Drawings, and the Publishers
have now placed it in the hands of Mr. F. C. L , to enable all the admirers of the late President
to possess a fac-simile of this very interesting Drawing of H G D W .
“Every newspaper puts forth its attacks upon Commanders of Regiments, filled with unjust and
false assertions. I have endeavoured, perhaps erroneously and unsuccessfully, to clear the
question from the rubbish with which it has been loaded, and exhibit it to the view in its general
bearings. In the performance of this task, I am not conscious of any influence but that of the
desire to speak the truth.”—Vide Preface.
