February Transactions
02/01	Included in WWC's February 1 Accounts Receivable balance is a $1,600 account due from Kit Kat, a WWC customer. Kit Kat is having cash flow problems and cannot pay its balance at this time. WWC arranges with Kit Kat to convert the $1,600 balance to a note, and Kit Kat signs a 6-month note, at 12% annual interest. The principal and all interest will be due and payable to WWC on August 1, 2012.
02/02	WWC paid a $950 insurance premium covering the month of February. The amount paid is recorded directly as an expense.
02/05	An additional 160 units of inventory are purchased on account by WWC for $12,000 - terms 2/15, n30.
02/05	WWC paid Federal Express $320 to have the 160 units of inventory delivered overnight. Delivery occurred on 02/06.
02/10	Sales of 130 units of inventory occurred during the period of 02/07 - 02/10. The sales terms are 2/10, net 30.
02/15	The 45 units that were paid for in advance and recorded in January are delivered to the customer.
02/15	15 units of the inventory that had been sold on 2/10 are returned to WWC. The units are not damaged and can be resold. Therefore, they are returned to inventory. Assume the units returned are from the 2/05 purchase.
02/16	WWC pays the first 2 weeks wages to the employees. The total paid is $2,600.
02/17	Paid in full the amount owed for the 2/05 purchase of inventory. WWC records purchase discounts in the current period rather than as a reduction of inventory costs.
02/18	Wrote off a customer's account in the amount of $1,900.
02/19	$6,200 of rent for January and February was paid. Because all of the rent will soon expire, the February portion of the payment is charged directly to expense.
02/19	Collected $9,800 of customers' Accounts Receivable. Of the $9,800, the discount was taken by customers on $7,000 of account balances; therefore WWC received less than $9,800.
02/26	WWC recovered $580 cash from the customer whose account had previously been written off (see 02/18).
02/27	A $850 utility bill for February arrived. It is due on March 15 and will be paid then.
