Grady Wholesale Corporation is a reseller of electronics equipment such as personal computers, peripherals, and software. Grady purchases items in bulk from various manufacturers, repackages them into smaller lots and resells them to retailers for ultimate sale to consumers.
The company maintains its financial records manually. “The books” consist of special journals for sales, purchases of merchandise (made on account), cash receipts, cash disbursements, and a general journal (for all transactions that do not fit into one of the above categories), a general ledger, and subsidiary ledgers for accounts receivable and accounts payable (for merchandise purchases). Grady’s policy is to post entries made in the general journal to the general ledger on a daily basis. Entries made to the special journals (sales, purchases, cash receipts, and cash disbursements) are posted to the general ledger at the end of the month. However, the subsidiary ledgers are updated on a daily basis. Check numbers, sales order numbers, and invoice numbers are used as the reference numbers for posting purposes.
Grady’s fiscal year-end is December 31. Adjusting entries are only prepared at the end of the fiscal year. The trial balance (taken from the general ledger) as of November 30, 2009 follows:

The Company owns the building that serves as the company’s headquarters and warehouse, as well as the furniture and equipment within that building. All of these items were purchased several years ago, and no items are expected to have any salvage value at the end of their lives. At the time of purchase, the life of the building was determined to be 30 years, and the furniture and equipment’s life was estimated at 10 years. Grady uses straight-line depreciation for all of its assets.
Employees are paid twice monthly, with checks distributed on the 20th and the 5th of the following month (five days after the end of the pay period). The payroll is outsourced to Payrolls Unlimited, a company that not only makes all salary-related computations (gross wages, all deductions, and net wages) and prepares the paychecks, but also makes the payments to all third parties on behalf of the company. On the 4th and 19th of the month, the company notifies Grady of the amount of the gross payroll and any payroll taxes to be paid by the employer. Grady then remits a check for that amount, takes delivery of the paychecks and distributes them to the employees. The payroll summary indicates that the gross payroll for the period December 16 – December 31 was $17,000, and the employer’s share of the payroll taxes $1,326. A check for this amount will be written on January 4, 2010.
Grady uses a perpetual inventory system.
A year-end inventory of the office supplies showed a balance of $4,500.
