Question: (Installment-Sales Computations and Schedules) Saprano Company, on January 2, 2014, entered into a contract with a manufacturing company to purchase room-size air conditioners and to sell the units on an installment plan with collections over approximately 30 months with no carrying charge. For income tax purposes, Saprano Company elected to report income from its sales of air conditioners according to the installment-sales method. Purchases and sales of new units were as follows.
In 2016, 50 units from the 2015 sales were repossessed and sold for $120 each on the installment plan. At the time of repossession, $2,000 had been collected from the original purchasers, and the units had a fair value of $3,000. General and administrative expenses for 2016 were $60,000. No charge has been made against current income for the applicable insurance expense from a 3-year policy expiring June 30, 2017, costing $7,200, and for an advance payment of $12,000 on a new contract to purchase air conditioners beginning January 2, 2017.
