to offer daily online local news and live streaming of local sports contests free of charge. Bill and Jim expect ONJ to make a profit by charging for advertising. Bill and Jim agreed that Bill will own 60% of the business and Jim will own 40%. Bill contributed $3,000 of cash and Jim contributed $2,000 of cash to form the business on April 27,2019. ONJ is organized as a Limited Liability Company. ONJ paid $100 of legal fees to Henry in April of 2019. Henry serves as legal counsel to ONJ and drafted the organizational documents of the business. In July of 2019, ONJ hired Doug as operations manager for a monthly salary of $200. Doug's employment began on July 1, 2019. In September of 2019, ONJ borrowed $25,000 from the Bank of Choice. The terms of the loan provide for an annual interest rate of 6% beginning on September 1, 2019. Interest payments are to be made every six months, and principal payments of $5,000 are to be made on September 1of each of the next five years. ONJ purchased server equipment in October of 2019 for $24,000. The equipment was delivered and installed on November 2, 2019. ONJ began using the server on December 1, 2019. Doug estimates that the server has a useful life of five years and will have no value after this time.Doug believes that the server will decline in value evenly over time. The first daily local news was produced and made available online on December 4, 2019. Since this date, local news has been made available daily, and local sports contests have been streamed live. The ONJ business plan is to grow an online viewership for three months before selling advertising. On October 31, 2019, ONJ and the Bank of Choice agreed that the bank would have exclusive advertising rights for December of 2019 through February of 2020, its first three months of operations. Advertising on the online news site and during live streamed sports contests will begin for all other advertisers on March 1, 2020. The bank paid $120 to ONJ for the exclusive advertising for the entire three-month period on November 2, 2019. Beginning March 1, 2020, ONJ sold advertising for six months for a total of $3,600. $1,800 was paid at the time of sale, $900 was paid at the end of the first month, and the remaining $900 at the end of the third month. The local sports contests became very popular with viewers during the summer of 2020. Bill and Doug decided to make recordings of the sporting events available for purchase. During August of 2020, ONJ paid $800 for 100 USB drives with recordings of the most popular summer sporting events. ONJ made them available for purchase at $10 each, and all 100 were sold by the end of September of 2020. All customers made their purchases in cash. Also in August of 2020, ONJ made more advertising sales. Customers purchased $3,500 of advertising for the next five months. This five-month period is September of 2020 through January of 2021. The customers agreed to pay $700 at the beginning of each of the five months beginning September 1, 2020. Bill decided to get additional USB drives of the summer of 2020 sporting events and make them available for sale to customers. ONJ purchased 200 USB drives for $1,500 in October of 2020for cash. During October, November, and December of 2020, 120 of the USB drives had been sold to customers for $12 each. Customers paid cash for 40 of the USB drives, while the other 80 were sold on credit. As of December 31, 2020, ONJ had received payment from 30 of the customers who purchased their USB drive on credit. As of December 31, 2020, there were 80 USB drives remaining on hand. ONJ has not yet prepared any financial reports. ONJ hired Flo as chief financial officer to oversee financial reporting. Flo would like for financial reports to be prepared on an annual basis each calendar year. Flo has some bookkeeping experience, but she has never prepared any financial statements. She-doesn't like complicated calculations, and her desire is to keep the financial records as simple as possible. Doug supports this approach, and Bill and Jim approve. 1) Costs that benefit future periods will not be immediately expensed. 2) Any cost that is not immediately expensed will be expensed evenly over the course of its expected benefit. 3) The cost of any goods that are sold to customers will be determined at the end of the year after a count of the any goods remaining on hand. 4) The goods purchased or produced the earliest will be treated as sold first.
