41,000 Total current liabilities $103,000 Deloitte & Touche advised Deep Sea Seafood that: Cash includes $20,000 that is deposited in a compensating balance account that is tied up until 2018. The fair value of the shortterm trading investments is $17,000. Deep Sea Seafood purchased the investments a couple of weeks ago. Deep Sea Seafood has been using the direct writeoff method to account for uncollectible receivables. During 2016, Deep Sea Seafood wrote off bad receivables of $7,000. Deloitte & Exercise 4

Financial Accounting focuses heavily on finding solutions to numerical problems. With that in mind, most units will include a number of problems. For each problem, you will need to provide more than a simple numerical response. Your solutions should thoroughly address the issue and present the findings in a meaningful format similar to those developed within the chapters and as part of the review exercises solutions. Part value may be assigned for incorrect responses providing evidence of understanding of the principles exist.
