10) Stakeholders are the parties that are interested in operations of an organization. Stakeholders often are users or potential users of accounting information. Stakeholders include resource providers, financial analysts, brokers, attorneys, government regulators and news reporters. 11) International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) have been adopted by most countries outside of the United States, and are becoming "global GAAP." Many believe that U.S. companies will be allowed to use either IFRS or U.S. GAAP in the future, and there is an ongoing process to reduce the differences between IFRS and GAAP. The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), headquartered in London, is responsible for forming these standards. 12) Financial accounting is designed to satisfy the needs of external resource providers (external users) and must adhere to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles. Managerial accounting, however, provides information that is useful to managers within a business (internal users), and does not have to follow GAAP. 13) Similarities: Both types of organizations commonly use specific resources to satisfy consumer demand. These resources are financial resources, physical resources, and labor resources. Accounting systems are used by both types of organizations to measure the cost of the goods and services that are provided, the efficiency and effectiveness of the organizations' operations, and the ability of the organizations to continue to provide goods and services. Differences: Not-for-profit organizations are established primarily for motives other than making a profit, while most other businesses are motivated by profit. As a result, factors other than profitability influence the resource allocation priorities of not-for-profit organizations. 14) A business's balance sheet shows the elements: assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity.

15) A business obtains its assets from creditors, from investors, and from operations. 16) Providing services for cash increases assets and increases stockholders’ equity. It is considered an asset source transaction. 17) Paying dividends decreases assets (Cash) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It is considered an asset use transaction. 18) $225,000 Assets = Liabilities $75,000 + Stockholders’ Equity $150,000; Assets = $225,000 19) When a business acquires assets from investors, it commits to keep the assets safe and to use the assets in a manner that benefits the investors. The business also grants the investor an ownership interest in the business, thereby allowing the investor (owner) to share in the profits generated by the business. In accounting terms investors are called stockholders. A business's commitment to its stockholders is called stockholders' equity. 20) Paid loan, paid expense, and paid dividends to stockholders. Asset use transactions involve a decrease in assets (for example, Cash) and will also result in a decrease in either liabilities (Notes Payable) or stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). 21) The statement of cash flows tells how a company obtained and used cash during the accounting period. The statement of cash flows explains the change in cash from the beginning to the end of the period. 22) Issuing stock is reported in the financing activities section. All cash exchanged between a company and its stockholders is considered a financing activity.
Version 1

23) The Income Statement The income statement reports on how a business performed during a specific accounting period. Business performance is defined as the benefits earned from customers (revenue) minus the sacrifices that were incurred (expenses) to earn those benefits (revenues). 24) The balance sheet lists the assets of a business and corresponding claims (liabilities and stockholders' equity) on those assets. It draws its name from the accounting equation. The income statement matches revenue (benefits) with the expenses (sacrifices) that were incurred to generate the revenue. The statement of changes in stockholders' equity is used to explain the effects of transactions on stockholders' equity during an accounting period. The statement of cash flows explains how a company obtained and used cash during the accounting period. The statement of cash flows classifies cash receipts (inflows) and payments (outflows) into three categories: financing activities, investing activities, and operating activities. 25) An accounting period is the span of time covered by the financial statements, normally one year; the span of time for which income is measured. The practice of pairing together on the income statement revenues and expenses that were incurred in the same accounting period is known as the matching concept. 26) a) F b) F c) T d) T e) F Financial resources are provided to a business by investors and creditors. Businesses, not resource owners, transform resources into products. Resource owners are the main providers of resources in any market.

27) a) F b) T c) T d) T e) F Financial accounting is primarily intended for external, not internal, stakeholders. Managerial accounting information is usually more detailed than financial accounting information. 28) a) F b) T c) F d) T e) F Liabilities are reported on the balance sheet. The accounting equation requires that assets be equal to liabilities plus stockholders’ equity. Liabilities are reported on the balance sheet, not on the statement of cash flows. 29) a) T b) F c) F d) F e) T Issuing common stock for cash increases the common stock account, not retained earnings. Net income increases retained earnings, but does not necessarily equal its total. The purchase of a truck increases one asset (Truck) and decreases another asset (Cash) or increases a liability (Note Payable). Retained earnings includes all net income that a company has earned in its existence that has not been paid out in dividends. 30) a) T b) F c) F d) T e) F The issuance of stock to owners for cash is an example of an asset source, not asset exchange, transaction. Purchasing equipment for cash is an example of an asset exchange transaction in which one asset (Cash) decreases and another asset (Equipment) increases. Making a payment on a bank loan is an example of an asset use, not asset exchange, transaction.

31) a) F b) T c) F d) T e) F A cash dividend paid to stockholders is reported in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. A cash dividend paid to stockholders is reported on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, not on the income statement. Changes in retained earnings for the accounting period are reported on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity, not on the income statement. 32) a) T b) T c) F d) F e) T Loans received from a bank increase assets and liabilities, but do not affect retained earnings. Dividends paid to stockholders decrease retained earnings, not common stock. 33) Accounting Equation (a) and (b) Assets

Answer Key Test name: Chap 01_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) TRUE This is true. Resource providers include creditors and investors. 2) TRUE This is true. Businesses transform resources into goods and services, such as cars, that are desirable to consumers. 3) FALSE This is false. A business creates value by earning income, so earnings or income describe that value, not assets. 4) TRUE This is true. The types of resources needed by a business are financial, physical, and labor resources. 5) TRUE This is true. Financial accounting information is usually less detailed than managerial accounting information. 6) TRUE This is true. The Financial Accounting Standards Board is charged with establishing accounting standards for US businesses. It is not an agency of the US government, but rather a privately funded organization. 7) TRUE This is true. A business must report its income, assets, liabilities and equity separate from the owner of that business. 8) FALSE This is false. Land is an account within the element assets. The elements of the financial statements include assets, liabilities, stockholders’ equity. Stockholders’ equity can be further broken down into two additional elements: common stock, and retained earnings. Version 1
50
9) TRUE This is true. Liabilities represent the future obligations of a business entity. 10) FALSE This is false. There are three sources of assets. First, a business can borrow assets from creditors. The second source of assets is investors. The third source of assets is operations. 11) FALSE This is false. If a business retains the assets, it commits to use those assets for the benefit of the stockholders. This increase in the business’s commitments to its stockholders is normally called retained earnings. 12) TRUE This is true. Once an asset is recorded, it is not adjusted for increases in market value. 13) TRUE This is true. An asset source transaction increases a business's assets and either liabilities or equity, which make up claims to assets. 14) TRUE This is true. Borrowing money from the bank is an example of an asset source transaction because the asset cash increases as well as the liability notes payable. 15) FALSE This is false. Because asset use transactions result in a decrease in total assets, total claims must decrease as well. 16) FALSE This is false. All four financial statements are interconnected. 17) FALSE
Version 1
51
This is false. Dividends are not expenses. Therefore, they are not reported on the income statement. Dividends are reported on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity and the statement of cash flows. 18) D The Financial Accounting Standards Board is a privately funded group charged with establishing accounting standards for the U.S. It is not a branch of the U.S. government. 19) A Businesses serve as conversion agents in the marketplace, transforming basic resources provided by resource owners into goods and services that consumers demand. Regulatory agencies set policies that affect the way that businesses operate. 20) B Businesses borrow money from creditors, and repay the amount borrowed, plus an additional fee known as interest. Investors, in contrast, provide financial resources in exchange for ownership interest in the business. Consumers demand goods and services from businesses. 21) D Financial accounting is intended to satisfy the needs of external users of accounting information. Managerial accounting, including cost accounting, is intended for the needs of internal users, or managers, of a business. Tax accounting is specifically intended for tax regulatory agencies. 22) A
Version 1
52
Managerial accounting provides information primarily for internal users, or managers, of businesses. Managers require more detailed information about a business than do external users, and sometimes that information is nonfinancial in nature. Managerial accounting information focuses on divisional rather than overall profitability and is not typically made available to external users, such as investors. 23) A Generally Accepted Accounting Principles are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board. 24) B The International Accounting Standards Board establishes accounting standards for most countries outside of the U.S. 25) C The three reporting entities are Jack Henry, Walt Bank, and Wooden Wheels. A separate set of accounting records would be kept for each entity. 26) A Jack Henry’s cash increase of $150,000 is calculated by subtracting the $650,000 in cash he transferred to Wooden Wheels from the $800,000 in cash he borrowed from Walt Bank. Wooden Wheels will report an increase in cash of $650,000 from the transfer of cash from Jack Henry. Finally, Walt Bank will report a decrease in cash of $800,000 due to the loan it provided Jack Henry. 27) D The four reporting entities are Ellen Gatsby, Ben Gatsby, Sarah Gatsby and Gatsby Company. 28) C
Version 1
53
Cash received from providing services to customers is an example of revenue and is an asset source transaction. Cash received from the result of a bank loan results in a liability, Notes Payable. Cash investments made by owners increase the stockholders' equity account Common Stock. Cash received from the sale of land for its original selling price is an asset exchange transaction that decreases one asset, Land, and increases another asset, Cash. 29) D Cash is not an element of the financial statements. It is an account that is part of the element assets. 30) B Assets are resources that a business uses to conduct its operations. Examples include cash, inventory, equipment, building, land, etc. In the process of conducting operations, a business uses some assets in order to produce greater quantities of other assets. For example, Walmart may use (sell) some of its inventory in order to receive cash from a customer. The cash received is revenue. In this case, the remaining inventory is a resource (asset) that will be used (sold) in the future to produce revenue. 31) D Businesses obtain assets from three sources. Specifically, businesses can borrow assets from creditors, acquire them from investors (owners), or generate them through operations. 32) C If total assets decrease, then assets were used. Since the accounting equation must balance (i.e. assets must equal claims), the decrease on the asset (left) side of the accounting equation must be offset by a decrease on the claims (right) side of the equation. Since liabilities, common stock, and retained earnings appear on the right side of the equation, a decrease in an asset account must be offset by a decrease in one of these right side accounts. Version 1
54
33) D When a business borrows money from a creditor it accepts an obligation (liability) to repay the money to the creditor in the future. Borrowing money causes the business’ assets and its liabilities to increase. In the accounting equation, assets must equal claims. Liabilities and stockholders’ equity represent the claims on assets. 34) D When a company has an increase in assets from operations and chooses to reinvest the profits into the business it is referred to as retained earnings. If the business chooses to distribute the increase in assets from operations to the owners of the business it is called a dividend. A liability would represent an obligation to repay debt to an external party. Common stock represents the proportionate share of ownership each stockholder has in the business. 35) A The accounting equation shows the equality between a company’s assets and the sources of those assets. The sources include liabilities, common stock and retained earnings. Therefore, Assets = Liabilities + Common Stock + Retained Earnings. 36) B When a company redistributes its assets back to the owners of the business it is referred to as a dividend. A liability would represent an obligation to repay debt to an external party. Retained earnings are the profits that have been retained within the company rather than distributed to the owners. Common stock represents the proportionate share of ownership each stockholder has in the company. 37) A In the accounting equation, assets equal claims (liabilities + stockholders’ equity). If assets are $1,000, total claims must also be $1,000. Therefore, liabilities must be $1,000 − $600, or $400. Version 1
55
38) C Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity; Stockholders’ Equity includes common stock and retained earnings. $50,000 = $22,000 + $15,000 + Retained earnings; Retained earnings = $13,000 39) B If assets on December 31, Year 1 totaled $92,000, total claims (including liabilities, common stock, and retained earnings) on that date must have also been $92,000. If liabilities were $25,000 and common stock was $22,000, retained earnings on December 31, Year 1 must have been $45,000. At the end of Year 2, the company reported $58,000 in retained earnings, a $13,000 increase. During Year 2, Stosch paid a $24,000 cash dividend, which reduced retained earnings. Therefore, Year 2 net income must have been $13,000 greater than the dividend paid. $24,000 + $13,000 = $37,000. 40) B If assets on December 31, Year 1 totaled $40,000, total claims (including liabilities, common stock, and retained earnings) on that date must have also been $40,000. If liabilities were $15,000 and common stock was $12,000, retained earnings on December 31, Year 1 must have been $13,000. At the end of Year 2, the company reported $18,000 in retained earnings, a $5,000 increase. During Year 2, Stosch paid a $14,000 cash dividend, which reduced retained earnings. Therefore, Year 2 net income must have been $5,000 greater than the dividend paid. $14,000 + $5,000 = $19,000. 41) D Issuing common stock increases both assets (Cash) and stockholders’ equity (Common Stock). Stockholders’ equity and liabilities collectively make up claims in the accounting equation. 42) A
Version 1
56
In the accounting equation, assets equal claims (liabilities + stockholders’ equity). If assets are $500, total claims must also be $500. Therefore,stockholders' equity must be $500 − $200, or $300. 43) A Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Equity Assets = Liabilities + Common stock + Retained earnings If a company’s total assets increased while liabilities and common stock were unchanged, retained earnings must have increased. In order for retained earnings to increase, the company must have reported net income. In other words, its revenues must have been greater than its expenses. 44) B Paying cash for land is an asset exchange transaction that increases one asset (Land) and decreases another asset (Cash). The result is no overall change in total assets. 45) D Retained earnings of $5,000 is equal to 25% of the company’s assets, indicating that 25% of Turner’s assets are from prior earnings. $8,000, or 40%, of Turner’s assets are liabilities, indicating that those assets are the result of borrowed resources. A company can pay out no more in dividends than it has in its Retained Earnings account. 46) D If assets total $100,000, claims must also total $100,000. Claims include liabilities, common stock and retained earnings. Because liabilities and retained earnings equal $65,000, common stock must be $35,000. The common stock account represents the assets that were obtained through investors. $35,000 is 35% of $100,000. 47) A

Paying cash to purchase land is an asset exchange transaction. The asset account, Cash, decreases and the asset account, Land, increases. Total assets are not affected. 53) A Borrowing cash is an asset source transaction that increases a business's assets (Cash) and increases its liabilities (Notes Payable). 54) D Borrowing cash increases assets (Cash) and increases liabilities (Notes Payable). 55) A An asset exchange transaction is one that increases one asset account and decreases another, resulting in no net change in assets. There are no changes to the company's liabilities and stockholders' equity either. Buying land for cash is an example of an asset exchange transaction. 56) B An asset use transaction is one that decreases a business's assets and decreases either liabilities or stockholders’ equity. In this asset use transaction, assets and stockholders’ equity decreased. An example of an asset use transaction with this effect would be paying cash for salary expense. 57) C Purchasing land for cash is an asset exchange transaction that does not affect total assets.

Net income is $3,600 (Revenue of $8,000 − Expenses of $4,400). Expenses are economic sacrifices incurred to produce revenue. In this case, the company’s sacrifice was a decrease in assets (Cash). Note that dividends are not expenses. Dividends are not paid in order to produce revenue. Instead they are transfers of wealth from the business to its owners. Purchasing land is not an expense because it is not an economic sacrifice incurred to produce revenue. 59) D A cash dividend decreases the asset account Cash and decreases the stockholders’ equity account Retained Earnings. 60) B Providing services for cash increases assets (Cash) and increases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 61) C Stockholders’ equity is made up of: Common Stock and Retained Earnings. The statement of changes in stockholders’ equity shows changes in those two accounts over the period. 62) B Dividends are reported as a deduction from retained earnings on the Statement of Changes in Stockholders’ Equity. The other transactions listed (borrowing cash from the bank, purchasing land for cash and paying off a portion of a note payable) do not affect stockholders’ equity. 63) D

The total stockholder’s equity equals Ending Common Stock + Ending Retained Earnings. First, ending common stock is calculated as: beginning common stock + stock Issued or $300,000 + $90,000 = $390,000 ending common stock. Next, ending retained earnings is calculated as: beginning retained earnings + Net income − Dividends or $15,000 + $50,000 − $8,000 = $57,000 ending retained earnings. Finally, ending common stock of $390,000 + ending retained earnings of $57,000 = total stockholders’ equity of $447,000. Paying back a portion of a note payable does not affect stockholders’ equity and therefore it is not included in the calculation. 64) D Purchasing land (a long-lived asset) for cash is an investing activity. Issuing common stock and paying dividends are both financing activities. Cash inflow from interest revenue is an operating activity. 65) C Beginning cash balance + Increase from operating activities − Decrease from financing activities +/− Increase or decrease from investing activities = Ending cash balance $4,600 + $9,600 − $3,400 +/− Increase or decrease from investing activities = $14,200 $3,400 = Increase in investing activities 66) A Beginning cash balance + Increase from operating activities − Decrease from financing activities +/− Increase or decrease from investing activities = Ending cash balance $4,000 + $10,000 − $2,000 +/− Increase or decrease from investing activities = $11,000 $1,000 = Decrease from investing activities 67) B

Paying dividends is a financing activity. $2,700 revenue − $1,600 expense = $1,100 cash inflow from operating activities. 74) C

Cash revenue and cash expenses are operating activities. Paying dividends is a financing activity. $1,500 revenue − $1,200 expense = $300 cash inflow from operating activities. 75) D Providing services to a customer for cash increases assets and stockholders’ equity on the balance sheet. It also increases revenue, and therefore, net income on the income statement. 76) D Revenue minus expenses equal net income of $1,350 (calculated as $2,450 − $1,100). Total assets increased by $750 (calculated as $2,450 − $1,100 − $600). Cash from operating activities increased by $1,350 (calculated as $2,450 − $1,100). 77) D Revenue minus expenses equal net income of $350 (calculated as $1,950 − $1,600). Total assets increased by $200 (calculated as $1,950 − $1,600 − $150). Cash from operating activities increased by $350 (calculated as $1,950 − $1,600). 78) B Repaying a bank loan is a cash outflow for financing activities that decreases assets (Cash) and decreases liabilities (Notes Payable). 79) D Beginning retained earnings + Revenues − Expenses − Dividends = Ending retained earnings $850 + $3,300 − Expenses −$750 = $1,800 Expenses = $1,600 80) B Beginning retained earnings + Revenues − Expenses − Dividends = Ending retained earnings $300 + $1,100 − Expenses − $200 = $800 Expenses = $400 Version 1

15) Recognizing revenue when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands, is commonly called accrual accounting. Accrual accounting requires that companies recognize revenue when the work is done regardless of when cash is collected. 16) Accounts receivable is an asset account. Its balance represents expected future cash receipts arising from permitting customers to buy now and pay later. Accounts receivable is an asset account because it represents something that is owed to the company. 17) Accrual accounting requires that companies recognize expenses in the period in which they are incurred regardless of when cash is paid. In accrual transactions, that means that expenses are recorded before cash payments. Expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of when payment is made. 18) Assets decrease; liabilities decrease Making a cash payment to creditors decreases assets (Cash) and decreases liabilities (Accounts Payable). 19) An adjustment updates account balances prior to preparing financial statements. Adjustments record revenues and expenses that should be recognized in the current accounting period but have not yet been recorded. Some common adjustments include recognizing accrued salaries expense and accrued interest expense. The matching concept requires adjustments for certain transactions in order to recognize revenues and expenses in the proper accounting period. These adjustments are made at the end of the period.
Version 1

20) The recording of revenue normally has the effect of increasing total assets (usually cash or accounts receivable). If revenue is earned at the same time cash is collected, cash is increased. If revenue is earned on account, and a customer is billed, accounts receivable is increased. 21) There is no effect on the statement of cash flows when services are performed on account. Assets and stockholders' equity will increase on the balance sheet. Providing services on account does not affect the cash account; therefore, the statement of cash flows is unaffected. The asset accounts receivable increases as does stockholders' equity (retained earnings). 22) The "matching concept" refers to the process of "matching" the expenses with the revenues that they produce in the appropriate time period. This matching is largely done through the adjusting process. For example, the accrual of salary expense has the effect of matching the correct portion of salary expense to the accounting period in which the employees contributed to producing revenue. Matching means that expenses should be recognized in the same accounting period as the revenues that they helped a business to earn. The matching concept is the foundation of accrual accounting — the recognition of revenues as they are earned and expenses as they are incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged.

23) The auditing profession has identified three elements that are typically present when fraud occurs. These three elements are often shown in the form of a triangle. The first of these elements is the availability of opportunity without which fraud could not exist. Therefore, opportunity is at the top of the triangle. The second element recognizes pressure as a key ingredient of misconduct. Pressure can come from a variety of sources. The third element is rationalization. Few individuals think of themselves as evil. They develop rationalizations to justify their misconduct. When working with ethical dilemmas, it is helpful to identify the opportunity, pressure, and rationalization associated with that particular situation. 24) The accountant's role in society requires trust and credibility. Accounting information is worthless if the accountant is not trustworthy. Similarly, tax and consulting advice is useless if it comes from an incompetent person. The importance of ethical conduct is universally recognized across a broad spectrum of accounting organizations. Corporate management is responsible for preparing financial reports, while outside independent accountants (CPAs) audit the reports. The high ethical standards required by the accounting profession state "a certified public accountant assumes an obligation of self-discipline above and beyond requirements of laws and regulations." The AICPA Code of Professional Conduct and the IMA Standards of Ethical Conduct are among ethics regulations governing the accounting profession.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 02_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) TRUE Recognition means recording revenue or expense, which results in reporting the event in the financial statements. 2) FALSE Accrual basis companies recognize revenue when earned and expense when incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. 3) TRUE Accruals involve events such as earning revenue on account and incurring expense on account, in which earnings is affected before cash is received or paid. 4) TRUE Accrual basis companies recognize revenue when earned and expense when incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. 5) FALSE The event decreases assets (cash) and decreases liabilities (salaries payable). 6) FALSE An increase in an expense, such as salaries expense, may be accompanied by an increase in a liability, such as salaries payable, but it may not be accompanied by a decrease in a liability. 7) FALSE A primary goal of accrual accounting is to appropriately match expenses with revenues, the matching concept. Appropriately matching expenses with revenues can be difficult even when using accrual accounting. 8) FALSE
Version 1
35
The matching concept does not lead accountants to select the recognition alternative that produces the lowest amount of net income. Instead, it is an accounting principle of recognizing expenses in the same accounting period as the revenues they produce. 9) TRUE All of these stakeholders determine how a company is operated. 10) FALSE The high ethical standards required by the profession state "a certified public accountant assumes an obligation of self-discipline above and beyond requirements of laws and regulations." 11) TRUE The Public Interest Principle of the AICPA Code of Professional Conduct states: “Members should accept the obligation to act in a way that will serve the public interest, honor the public trust, and demonstrate commitment to professionalism." 12) TRUE The massive surprise bankruptcies ofEnronin late 2001 andWorldComseveral months later suggested major audit failures on the part of the independent auditors. An audit failure means a company’s auditor does not detect, or fails to report, that the company’s financial reports are not in compliance with GAAP. 13) FALSE Prior to the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (SOX), independent auditors often provided nonaudit services, such as installing computer systems, for their audit clients. To reduce the likelihood of conflicts of interest, SOX prohibits all registered public accounting firms from providing audit clients, contemporaneously with the audit, certain nonaudit services, including internal audit outsourcing, financial-information-system design and implementation services, and expert services. 14) TRUE Version 1

Internal controls are policies and procedures that a business implements to reduce opportunities for fraud and to assure that its objectives will be accomplished. 15) FALSE Providing services to customers on account is an asset source transaction that increases the asset accounts receivable. 16) FALSE The collection of an account receivable is an asset exchange transaction. 17) FALSE The cash payment of interest is classified as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. 18) FALSE Accruing interest expense is a claims exchange transaction. The liability account, Interest Payable, increases and the stockholders’ equity account, Retained Earnings, decreases. Total claims are not affected. 19) TRUE Recognizing accrued expense is a claims exchange transaction. The claims of creditors (liability) increase and the claims of stockholders (stockholders’ equity) decrease. 20) TRUE Notes payable and Accounts payable are both liability accounts. The primary difference between notes payable and accounts payable is that notes payable generally have longer terms and usually require interest charges. 21) FALSE Issuing a note is an asset source transaction. The asset account, Cash, increases and the liability account, Notes Payable, increases. 22) FALSE The balance in accounts receivable represents the amount of cash the company expects to collect in the future. Version 1
37
23) TRUE Accounts receivable is an asset account on the balance sheet. 24) FALSE Accounts payable is a liability account on the balance sheet. It is not reported on the income statement. 25) FALSE Sales on account increase the balance in accounts receivable. 26) FALSE Expenses incurred on account increase the accounts payable balance not the accounts receivable balance. 27) B Accounts receivable is an asset account on the balance sheet. 28) B Earning revenue on account causes assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) to increase on the balance sheet. On the income statement, the increase in revenue increases net income. The collection of cash will occur in the future. Because cash was not collected or paid, the statement of cash flows is not affected for this event. 29) A Collecting cash from customers as payment of accounts receivable is an asset exchange transaction. Total assets are not affected because there is an increase in one asset account (cash) and a decrease in another asset account (accounts receivable). There is no effect on the income statement. There is a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 30) C
Version 1

Under accrual accounting, revenue should be recognized in the period in which it is earned regardless of whether cash has or has not been collected. The asset account, Accounts Receivable, increases by $8,000 and the stockholders’ equity account, Retained Earnings, increases by $8,000. 31) C The collection of an account receivable is an event that affected the financial statements as indicated because it increased one asset account (Cash) and decreased another asset account (Account Receivable). The amount of total assets is not affected. The company does not recognize revenue when the cash is collected because the revenue was recognized when the service was provided. Therefore, there is no effect on the income statement. It is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 32) D When a company collects an account receivable one asset (Cash) increases and another asset (Accounts Receivable) decreases. The amount of total assets is not affected. 33) A When $3,500 cash is collected, the amount of cash collected is removed from the accounts receivable account and recorded in the cash account. Therefore, cash increases by $3,500 and accounts receivable decreases by $3,500. 34) C Earning cash revenue increases assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) on the balance sheet. It increases both revenue and net income on the income statement and is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 35) B
Version 1

Paying cash for expenses decreases assets (Cash) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) on the balance sheet. It increases expenses which decreases net income on the income statement and is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 36) C Paying cash dividends decreases assets (Cash) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) on the balance sheet. It does not affect the income statement but is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 37) A Issuing common stock increases assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Common Stock). It does not affect the income statement but is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 38) D Borrowing cash increases assets (Cash) and increases liabilities (Notes Payable). It does not affect the income statement, but is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 39) A Selling land for cash increases one asset (Cash) and decreases another asset (Land). It is an asset exchange transaction and total assets is unchanged. There is no effect on liabilities or stockholders’ equity. It does not affect the income statement but is reported as a cash inflow from investing activities on the statement of cash flows. 40) B

Earning cash revenue is an event that affected the financial statements as indicated because it increased revenue and net income on the income statement and was reported as a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. Also, this event affected the Balance Sheet by increasing assets (Cash) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 41) A Issuing common stock would increase assets (Cash) and increase stockholders' equity (Common Stock). It would not affect net income, but would be reported as a cash inflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 42) B Incurring a cash expense would decrease assets (Cash) and decrease stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It would increase expenses and decrease net income, and would be reported as a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 43) C $23,000 (cash) + $9,300 (accounts receivable) + $7,600 (cash) − $7,600 (accounts receivable) − $6,200 (cash) = $26,100 increase 44) A $17,000 (cash) + $8,500 (accounts receivable) + $6,000 (cash) − $6,000 (accounts receivable) − $5,400 (cash) = $20,100 increase 45) B Earning revenue on account increases assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) on the balance sheet. On the income statement, earning revenue on account increases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 46) A
Version 1
41
While the expense was incurred and recognized in Year 1, the cash payment occurred in Year 2. The Year 2 cash payment would cause the asset account (cash) and the liability account (accounts payable) to decrease. 47) C When payment is made to settle the obligation for an accrued expense, such as the salaries payable, the asset account (Cash) decreases and the associated liability account (Salaries Payable) decreases. Expenses in the current period are not affected because they were recognized in a previous accounting period. Since the cash outflow was caused by a previous period expense recognition it is classified as an operating activity. 48) B Event (1) increases total assets (accounts receivable), revenues, and net income by $10,000. Event (2) increases total liabilities (accounts payable) and expenses by $9,000, which decreases net income by $9,000. The combined effect of the two events is an increase in total assets of $10,000, an increase in total liabilities of $9,000, and an increase in net income of $1,000 (or $10,000− $9,000). The two events did not affect cash; as a result, there is no effect on net cash flows from operating activities. Assets

As indicated by the totals in the horizontal financial statements model, after the accrued revenue and expense has been recognized total assets amount to $10,000, net income is $1,000, and there is no effect on the statement of cash flows. 49) A Accounts receivable appears in the asset section of the balance sheet. 50) C Accounts payable appears in the liabilities section of the balance sheet. 51) D On the balance sheet, recognizing revenue on account will cause an increase in assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). On the income statement, recognition will cause an increase in the revenue account which increases net income. Since cash was not collected or paid, the statement of cash flows is not affected. 52) D On the balance sheet, recognizing accrued salary expense will cause an increase in liabilities (Salaries Payable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). On the income statement, the recognition will cause an increase in salaries expense which decreases net income. Since cash was not collected or paid, the statement of cash flows is not affected. 53) C Collecting an account receivable is an asset exchange event. The balance in the cash account will increase and the balance in the accounts receivable account will decrease. Both of these accounts are shown on the balance sheet. Since the revenue was recognized when it was earned, it will not be recognized again when the cash is collected. Therefore, the income statement is not affected. The cash inflow will be shown in the operating section of the statement of cash flows. 54) B Version 1

Since the cash was paid for salaries of employees that operate the business, the cash outflow is classified as an operating activity. 55) C On the balance sheet, accruing salary expense increases liabilities (salaries payable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). On the income statement, it increases expenses which decreases net income. There is no impact on the statement of cash flows. 56) D On the balance sheet, accruing salary expense increases liabilities (Salaries Payable) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). On the income statement, it increases expenses which decrease net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 57) C Net income = Revenue of $6,800 − Expenses of $3,500 = $3,300; dividends decrease retained earnings but do not affect net income. 58) B Net income = Revenue of $5,000 − Expenses of $2,100 = $2,900; dividends decrease retained earnings but do not affect net income. 59) D Revenue is recognized when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands. The issuance of common stock, borrowing, cash collections of accounts receivable, purchase of land, cash payment to partially settle accounts payable, and the payment of dividends do not affect net income. Revenue = $9,000 earned revenue on account + $1,000 provided services for cash = $10,000 Expenses = $4,000 operating expenses + $4,000 accrued salaries = $8,000 Net income = Revenue of $10,000 − Expenses of $8,000 = $2,000 60) A Version 1

Net cash flow from operating activities = Cash collections of accounts receivable of $6,000 + Cash from providing services of $1,000 − Cash payments on accounts payable of $3,000 = $4,000 The issuance of common stock, the borrowing, and the payment of dividends are financing activities. The purchase of land is an investing activity. 61) A Revenue is recognized when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands. The issuance of common stock, borrowing, cash collections of accounts receivable, purchase of land, cash payment to partially settle accounts payable, and the payment of dividends do not affect net income. Revenue = $9,000 earned revenue on account + $1,000 provided services for cash = $10,000 Expenses = $4,000 operating expenses + $4,000 accrued salaries = $8,000 Net income = Revenue of $10,000 − Expenses of $8,000 = $2,000 Ending Retained Earnings = $200 Beginning Retained Earnings− $200 Dividends + $2,000 Net Income = $2,000 62) A Recognizing an expense may be accompanied by an increase in liabilities (i.e. Accounts Payable, Salaries Payable). 63) D Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged. 64) D

Issuing common stock is an asset source transaction that increases assets (cash) and increases stockholders’ equity (common stock). Paying a cash dividend is an asset use transaction, receiving a payment on accounts receivable is an asset exchange transaction, and accruing salary expense is a claims exchange transaction. 93) B Paid cash for salary expense is an asset use transaction that decreases assets (Cash) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). Purchasing land for cash and investing cash in an interest earning account are asset exchange transactions. Accruing salary expense is a claims exchange transaction. 94) C Collecting cash on accounts receivable is an asset exchange transaction that increases one asset (cash) and decreases another asset (accounts receivable). Issuing common stock is an asset source transaction. Accruing salary expense is a claims exchange transaction. Earning cash revenue is an asset source transaction. 95) C This transaction increases assets (accounts receivable) and increases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings), and is therefore classified as an asset source transaction. 96) D Paying or receiving interest is considered an operating activity. Accruing salary expense is not a cash flow. Paying dividends is a financing activity, and purchasing equipment is an investing activity. 97) B Only the $20,000 principal would be considered an outflow for financing activities. The $1,200 interest paid is considered an operating activity. 98) C Version 1

Recognizing accrued salary expense is a claims exchange transaction. The claims of creditors increase and the claims of stockholders decrease. Total claims remain unchanged. Specifically, the liabilities account, Salaries Payable, increases. The balance in the Salaries Payable account represents the amount of cash the company is required to pay the employee in the future. Recognizing salary expense decreases net income. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows because cash was not paid. 99) C The Merry Maids provided cleaning services to Orange Company on account. From the perspective of Orange, the company has received services but has not paid cash for the services. Orange must record a liability to represent how much money it owes the Merry Maids. On Orange's balance sheet, the liability account, Accounts Payable, will increase and the stockholders' equity account, Retained Earnings, will decrease. On Orange's income statement, expenses will increase and net income will decrease. 100) B The Merry Maids provided services to Orange Company on account. From the perspective of the Merry Maids, it has earned revenue but not been paid for the services. The Merry Maids must record an asset to represent the amount of money it is waiting to receive from Orange Company. On the Merry Maids' balance sheet, the asset account, Accounts Receivable, will increase and the stockholders' equity account, Retained Earnings, will increase. On the Merry Maids' income statement, revenue will increase and net income will increase. 101) C

Paying cash to purchase supplies decreases one asset account (Cash) and increases another asset account (Supplies). It is an asset exchange transaction. The total amount of assets is not affected. It does not affect the income statement. Even though cash has been paid, expense recognition is deferred until the supplies are used. It will be reported as a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 2) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D NA D NA I D NA
Recognizing supplies expense is an asset use transaction. Assets (Supplies) decrease and stockholder's equity (Retained Earnings) decreases. The recognition of supplies expense would cause the amount of net income shown on the income statement to decrease. There is no cash payment associated with the use of supplies. Because the expense recognition did not involve the payment of cash, there is no effect on the statement of cash flows. 3) Balance Sheet Income Statement Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net

The cost of the office space is recognized as an asset. The asset account, Prepaid Rent, increases and the asset account, Cash, decreases. It is an asset exchange transaction. Expense recognition is deferred until Owen Company uses the office space to help generate revenue. Since the expense is deferred, there is no impact on stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) nor on the income statement. There is a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 4) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D NA D NA I D NA
At the end of Year 1, Owen is required to expense the amount of office space that has been used. Since Owen paid $24,000 on February 1, Year 1, to rent office space for one year, the portion of the lease cost that represents the office use from February 1 to December 31 is 11 months and $22,000. Calculated as $24,000 total rent for one year lease/12 months = $2,000 rent expense per month. $2,000 × 11 months = $22,000. Recognizing rent expense will decrease assets (Prepaid Rent) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). Rent expense will decrease net income. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows at the end of Year 1 because the cash was paid on February 1, Year 1. 5) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income I I NA NA NA NA I

Collecting a payment in advance from a customer increases assets (Cash) and increases liabilities (Unearned Revenue). It does not affect the income statement. Revenue will not be recognized until the services are provided at a future date. It will be reported as a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 6) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income NA D I I NA I NA
The year-end adjustment is a claims exchange transaction. Assets are not affected. On the balance sheet, liabilities (Unearned Revenue) decrease and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) increases. On the income statement, revenue and net income increase. The statement of cash flows is not affected. 7) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D/I NA NA NA NA NA D
Purchasing a truck for cash is an asset exchange transaction. One asset (Cash) decreases and another asset (Truck) increases. The purchase does not affect the income statement. Because the asset has a long term useful life the cash outflow is categorized as an investing activity on the statement of cash flows. 8) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D NA D NA I D NA

Recognizing depreciation expense is an asset use transaction. Assets (Book Value of Delivery Van) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) decrease. It increases expenses and decreases net income. It does not affect cash flows. 9) Purchasing supplies on account is an asset source transaction. The asset account, Supplies, increases and the liability account, Accounts Payable, increases. 10) When a company is paid cash for services to be provided in the future, it is considered unearned revenue. The asset account, Cash, increases and the liability account, Unearned Revenue increases. There is no effect on stockholders' equity. The cash inflow is reported on the statement of cash flows as an operating activity. 11) (Asset Cost − Salvage value) / Useful life = Depreciation expense 12) A company depreciates long-term assets that it plans to use over several years. 13) Income Statement 14) The return-on-assets ratio measures the relationship between the level of income and the size of the investment. The stockholders would normally be interested in this ratio to assess how effectively a company is using its assets to generate income. Investors would prefer a company to have a higher return-on-assets ratio. 15) The return-on-equity ratio measures the relationship between net income and stockholders' equity. The stockholders would normally be most interested in this ratio because it measures how well the company is using the stockholders’ investment to earn income.
Version 1

16) The relationship between total debt and total assets can be measured by the debt-to-assets ratio. With a high debt-to-assets ratio, a company experiences a great degree of debt risk. A company with a high debt-to-assets ratio may be forced into bankruptcy if it is unable to meet the required payments on its outstanding debt. The company's creditors would likely be most interested in this ratio. 17) Financial leverage is the use of borrowed money to increase return on stockholders' investment. If a company can borrow money at 8% and invest it at 10%, it can increase its return-on-equity ratio. 18) 1.a) This is false. Because work will not begin until Year 2, the revenue is recognized in Year 2. 2.b) This is true. Only the Year 1 statement of cash flows is affected because no cash is received in Year 2. 3.c) This is false. Collecting a cash advance is an asset source transaction that increases assets (Cash) and increases liabilities (Unearned Revenue). 4.d) This is true. Revenue will be recognized only when services are performed, beginning in Year 2. 5.e) This is true. The transaction increases unearned revenue, a liability.
Version 1
24
19) 1.a) This is false. An increase in a revenue account is usually associated with an increase in assets, such as cash or accounts receivable. 2.b) This is true. Recording an increase in revenue may be associated with a decrease in liabilities, as in the case of earning revenue from a prepaid contract (Unearned Revenue). 3.c) This is true. Recording a decrease in assets (such as Prepaid Rent or Prepaid Insurance, or Supplies) may be associated with an increase in expenses. 4.d) This is true. Supplies expense is increased when supplies are used, or decreased. 20) 1.a) This is false. To determine the book value of a long-term asset, the balance in the accumulated depreciation account must be subtracted from the cost of the asset. 2.b) This is false. Accumulated depreciation gets larger every year that passes. 3.c) This is true. The amount of depreciation expense recognized each year is added to the beginning balance of the accumulated depreciation account to determine the ending balance of accumulated depreciation account. 4.d) This is true. The salvage value is the expected selling value of an asset at the end of its useful life.

21) 1.a) This is false. Because Danny Company will have rented the building for two months at the end of Year 1. The Year 1 income statement will recognize $2,000 of rent expense. $12,000 for one year of rent/ 12 months = $1,000 rent expense per month. 2.b) This is true. The Year 1 statement of cash flows is affected because $12,000 of cash is paid in Year 1 for rent. No cash is paid in Year 2. 3.c) This is true. Prepaying for rent is an asset exchange transaction that decreases assets (Cash) and increases assets (Prepaid Rent). Total assets are not affected. 4.d) This is false. The company will record the remaining ten months of rent expense in year 2 which will be $10,000. Rent expense in Year 2 is calculated as $1,000 rent expense per month × 10 months = $10,000. 5.e) This is false. The transaction increases the asset account, Prepaid Rent, and decreases the asset account, Cash. 22) a) = Liabil + Stockhol Reve − Expe = NI CF ities ders' nue nse Equity Supp Prepa AP CS + RE lies id Rent 50, 50,0 F 000 00 A 125 125 125, ,00 ,00 000 0 0 2,5 2,50 00 0 30, (30, O 000 000) A 115, O 000 A

Answer Key Test name: Chap 03_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) FALSE Accrual basis companies recognize revenue when earned and expense when incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. 2) TRUE Accrual basis companies recognize revenue when earned and expense when incurred, regardless of when cash is received or paid. 3) TRUE The event decreases assets (Cash) and increases assets (Supplies). There is no net effect on total assets. 4) TRUE In the case of unearned revenue, when the revenue is actually earned (i.e. services are provided) revenue will increase (which increases retained earnings) and the liability account, unearned revenue, will decrease. 5) FALSE Unearned revenue is a liability account on the balance sheet. It is not reported on the income statement. 6) FALSE Asset use transactions can also involve a decrease in another asset account, such as supplies or prepaid rent. 7) TRUE Unearned revenue, a liability, decreases and service revenue increases the equity account retained earnings, making this a claims exchange transaction. 8) FALSE
Version 1
43
Recognition of revenue increases equity, which cannot be accompanied by an increase in liabilities. It could, however, be accompanied by a decrease in liabilities as in a claims exchange transaction. 9) TRUE Recognition of depreciation expense is an asset use transaction that decreases assets (Book Value of Asset) and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 10) FALSE The accumulated depreciation increases (accumulates) each time depreciation expense is recognized. 11) TRUE It is necessary to estimate an asset's useful life and salvage value in order to calculate depreciation expense associated with the use of that asset. 12) TRUE
Version 1
44
A cost is incurred when a company pays cash or incurs a liability as a result of its operating or investing activities. For example, a company may pay cash or increase its salaries payable to compensate its employees who have completed work for the company. In this case, the company would recognize an expense because it has already used the labor provided by the employees. In other words, there is no future benefit associated with the cost because the benefit was obtained in the past when the work was done. Alternatively, a company could pay cash to purchase supplies that it plans to use in the future. Under this circumstance, a benefit will occur in the future when the supplies are used in the process of producing revenue. As a result, the company would record the cost as the purchase of an asset. In summary, when a company incurs a cost that has no future benefit it recognizes an expense. When a company incurs a cost that has a future benefit it records the purchase of an asset. Note carefully, that in accounting terms, a cost and an expense do not mean the same thing. 13) FALSE The salvage value of an asset is the expected selling price of an asset at the end of its useful life. The carrying value (book value) of an asset is the difference between the cost of the asset and the balance in that asset’s accumulated depreciation account. 14) FALSE Accumulated depreciation is a contra-asset account that is reported on the Balance Sheet, not on the Income Statement. 15) TRUE
Version 1
45
The expense will be deferred until the truck is used instead of being recognized as soon as the cash payment is made. Assuming the company uses the straight-line depreciation method, it would calculate the depreciation expense as ($50,000 − $6,000)/4-year life = $11,000 depreciation expense. The company would recognize $11,000 depreciation expense in Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4. 16) FALSE This is false. The debt-to-assets ratio measures the level of debt risk in a business. 17) TRUE This is true. Debt is inherently risky because, unlike stockholders’ equity, it must be repaid. 18) FALSE This is false. Stockholders are interested in the earnings that their investment is generating, so the return-on-equity ratio, rather than the return-on-assets ratio, would be of greatest interest to them. 19) B A balance sheet reports assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity as of a selected date (usually the end of an accounting period). Cash and accounts receivable are asset accounts. Retained earnings is a stockholders' equity account. 20) A The company used $2,375 ($4,100 − $1,725) of supplies during its first year of operations. The adjusting entry to recognize supplies expense will decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) and decrease assets (Supplies) by $2,375. It will increase expenses and decrease net income. 21) A
Version 1
46
The company used $1,475 ($2,300 − $825) of supplies during its first year of operations. The adjusting entry to recognize supplies expense will decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) and decrease assets (Supplies) by $1,475. It will increase expenses and decrease net income. 22) D Recognizing an expense may be accompanied by a decrease in assets (i.e. Cash, Prepaid Rent orPrepaid Insurance) or an in increase in liabilities (i.e. Accounts Payable, Salaries Payable). 23) D Revenue is recognized when earned and expenses are recognized when incurred, regardless of when cash is exchanged. 24) D Recognizing revenue may be accompanied by either an increase in assets (Cash or Accounts Receivable) or a decrease in liabilities (Unearned Revenue). 25) A Purchasing supplies requires a year-end adjusting entry to recognize the expense associated with the amount of supplies used during the year. Purchasing land for cash does not require an adjusting entry and providing services on account does not require an adjusting entry at the end of the accounting period. 26) D Purchasing supplies for cash decreases the asset account (Cash) and increases the asset account (Supplies). Expenses in the current period are not affected because the expense will not be recognized until the supplies are used. There is a cash outflow that is classified as an operating activity. 27) B
Version 1
47
Recognizing supplies expense is an asset use transaction. On the balance sheet, the asset account (Supplies) and the stockholders’ equity account (Retained Earnings) decrease. The recognition of supplies expense would cause the amount of net income shown on the income statement to decrease. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows. 28) C Recognizing the portion of the unearned revenue that a company earned during the accounting period involves a decrease in liabilities (Unearned Revenue) and an increase in stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 29) B The year-end adjustment to recognize one month’s work on the threemonth contract results in a $2,000 decrease in liabilities (Unearned Revenue) and a $2,000 increase in stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 30) C Supplies = Amount on hand at end of year of $1,400 Supplies expense = Beginning balance of Supplies account of $1,200 + Supplies purchased of $3,400 − Ending balance of Supplies account of $1,400 = $3,200 31) C Monthly rent expense = Payment of $7,200 ÷ 12 months = $600 per month Rent expense (on the income statement) = $600 per month × 3 months = $1,800. The $7,200 paymentfor rent is the cash outflow from operating activities that will be reported on the statement of cash flows. 32) C
Version 1
48
Purchasing prepaid rent is an asset exchange transaction. The asset account Cash decreases and the asset account Prepaid Rent increases. Expense recognition is deferred until the office space is used. Because the cash outflow was incurred to operate the business, it is classified as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. 33) A At the end of Year 1, Allen Company is required to expense the amount of office space that has been used. Allen Company paid $24,000 on October 1, Year 1 to rent office space for one year. The portion of the lease cost that represents using office space from October 1 through December 31 is computed as follows: $24,000 Cost of annual lease / 12 months = $2,000 Cost per month $2,000 Cost per month × 3 months used = $6,000 Rent expense The expense recognition is an asset use transaction. On the balance sheet, assets (Prepaid Rent) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) decrease. The expense recognition reduces the amount of net income shown on the income statement. The statement of cash flows is not affected. 34) B A deferral occurs when a company postpones, delays or otherwise puts off the recognition of a revenue or an expense. The revenue or expense event is recognized after cash has been exchanged. 35) C Paying cash for rent in advance increases one asset (Prepaid Rent) and decreases another asset (Cash). Therefore, it is classified as an asset exchange transaction. 36) A
Version 1
49
Service Revenue is an income statement account and, as such, it does not appear on the balance sheet. Unearned Revenue, despite having the word “revenue” in its title, is a liability account that appears on the balance sheet. Supplies and prepaid rent are both assets that appear on the balance sheet. 37) B Purchasing supplies for cash is a cash outflow from operating activities, but will not be reported as an expense until the supplies are used. Purchasing land is a cash outflow from investing activities and does not affect net income. Paying rent expense causes equal decreases in net income and cash flows from operating activities. Paying dividends to stockholders is a cash outflow from financing activities and does not affect net income. 38) C The adjusting entry to recognize revenue earned on the contract will decrease liabilities (Unearned Revenue) and increase stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). On the income statement, it will increase revenues and net income. 39) C Monthly revenue = Receipt of $9,000 ÷ 12 months = $750 per month Revenue (on the income statement) = $750 per month × 4 months (September through December) = $3,000 The company will recognize the $9,000 received as a cash inflow from operating activities in Year 1. 40) D

The cash receipt related to unearned revenue is an asset source transaction. The asset account Cash increases and the liability account Unearned Revenue increases. Collecting the cash has no effect on the income statement. The revenue will be reported on the income statement after the company performs the services. It is classified as a cash inflow from operating activities. 41) A The $12,000 requires Allen to provide cleaning services from June 1, Year 1 to May 31, Year 2. By December 31, Year 1, Allen has earned 7 months (June 1 through December 31) of revenue related to this contract. Allen will recognize the amount of revenue earned by recording an adjustment to the accounting records at the end of the accounting period. The adjustment for revenue earned in Year 1 is computed as follows: $12,000 Cost of annual cleaning services / 12 months = $1,000 Cleaning revenue earned per month $1,000 × 7 months = $7,000 Cleaning revenue to be recognized in Year 1 The year-end adjustment moves $7,000 from the liability Unearned Revenue to the Cleaning Revenue account. This adjustment is a claims exchange event. Assets are not affected. On the balance sheet, liabilities (Unearned Revenue) decreases and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) increases. On the income statement, revenue and net income increase. Cash flow is not affected by the adjustment. 42) D Recognizing revenue when it is earned and expenses when they are incurred, regardless of when cash changes hands, is commonly calledaccrual accounting. 43) B

Recording rent expense at the end of the period is an asset use transaction that decreases assets (Prepaid Rent) and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). Purchasing land for cash is an asset exchange transaction. Borrowing cash from a bank is an asset source transaction. Accruing salary expense is a claims exchange transaction. 44) A Recognizing revenue earned on a contract where the cash had been collected at an earlier date is a claims exchange transaction that decreases liabilities (Unearned Revenue) and increases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). Purchasing land for cash is an asset exchange transaction. Issuing common stock is an asset source transaction. Providing services on account is an asset source transaction. 45) A Depreciation expense = (Cost of $35,000 − Salvage value of $5,000) ÷ Useful life of five years = $6,000 46) C Recording the purchase of supplies constitutes a deferral because it involves the payment of cash before an expense (in this case, supplies expense) is recognized. 47) A Recognizing depreciation expense involves a decrease in assets (Book Value of Equipment) and a decrease in stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 48) C

Assets = $4,500 + $2,700 + $10,000 − $3,200 = $14,000 Assets of $14,000 = Liabilities of $2,800 + Stockholders’ Equity Stockholders’ Equity = $11,200 Stockholders’ Equity = Common stock of $6,000 + Retained earnings $11,200 = $6,000 + Retained earnings Retained Earnings = $5,200 49) B Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($68,000 Cost − $4,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $16,000 On the balance sheet, assets (Book Value of Truck) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) decrease by $16,000. The recognition of depreciation will be shown as an expense on the income statement which will decrease net income. There is no impact on the statement of cash flows because the associated cash outflow would have been recognized previously when the truck was purchased. 50) A

53
Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($35,000 Cost − $3,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $8,000 The adjusting entry to recognize depreciation expense will cause the book value of the truck to decrease by $8,000, which decreases total assets and retained earnings. The recognition of depreciation will be shown as an expense on the income statement which will decrease net income. There is no impact on the statement of cash flows because the associated cash outflow would have been recognized previously when the truck was purchased. 51) D Recognizing depreciation expense reduces net income but does not affect cash flows from operating activities. Incurring operating expenses on account also reduces netincome but does not affect cash flows from operating activities. Paying interest that was accrued in a prior year will reduce cash flows from operating activities but will not affect net income. 52) C Accumulated depreciation at end of Year 1 = (Cost of $26,000 − Salvage value of $6,000) ÷ 4 years = $5,000 Book value = Cost of $26,000 cost − Accumulated depreciation of $5,000 = $21,000 53) A The adjusting entry at the end of year 2 to recognize supplies expense causes assets (Supplies) to decrease and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) to decrease. Supplies expense decreases net income. 54) D

Purchasing on account means that the buyer does not pay cash at the time of purchase. Instead the buyer incurs an obligation (Accounts Payable) to pay cash in the future. When supplies are purchased on account, assets (Supplies) and liabilities (Accounts Payable) increase. The cash flow associated with the purchase of supplies is an operating activity not a financing activity. 55) A Purchasing on account means that the buyer does not pay cash at the time of purchase. Instead the buyer incurs an obligation (Accounts Payable) to pay cash in the future. When supplies are purchased on account, assets (Supplies) and liabilities (Accounts Payable) increase. 56) B Since the Company started the accounting period with $200 of supplies and then purchased an additional $600 of supplies during the accounting period, there was a total amount of $800 ($200 + $600) of supplies that were available to be used during the accounting period. Since there were only $50 of supplies on hand at the end of the accounting period, $750 ($800 − $50) had to have been used. Assets, in this case supplies, used in the process of producing revenue are called expenses. 57) A The amount of supplies available for use is $1,900 ($500 beginning balance in the Supplies account plus the $1,400 amount of supplies purchased). Given that there was $300 of supplies on hand at the end of the accounting period, $1,600 ($1,900 available − $300 ending balance) of supplies must have been used during the period. The amount of supplies used would be recorded as an expense. On the balance sheet, the use of supplies will decrease assets (Supplies) by $1,600 and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $1,600. 58) C
Version 1

Paying cash to purchase supplies is an asset exchange transaction. One asset (Cash) decreases and another asset (Supplies) increases. The income statement is not affected at the time supplies are purchased. Instead, the income statement will be affected at the time the amount of supplies used is determined at the end of the accounting period. Since cash was paid to purchase the supplies, there will be a cash outflow from operating activities shown on the statement of cash flows. 59) A Paying cash to purchase supplies is an asset exchange transaction. One asset (Cash) decreases and another asset (Supplies) increases. The income statement is not affected at the time supplies are purchased. Instead, the income statement will be affected at the time the amount of supplies used is determined at the end of the accounting period. Since cash was paid to purchase the supplies, there will be a cash outflow from operating activities shown on the statement of cash flows. 60) C Recognizing supplies expense at the end of the accounting period is an asset use transaction. On the balance sheet, assets (Cash) decreases and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) decreases. On the income statement, supplies expense increases and net income decreases. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows. The effect on cash flow occurs at the time the company pays for the supplies not when the supplies are expensed. 61) C

Companies use deferrals to recognize expenses in the period they are incurred regardless of when cash is paid. For example, a company could pay $1,200 for the right to use office space in the future. In this case, the company would defer the expense recognition by recording the cost (cash payment) in an asset account. Then the expense would be recognized later in the period in which the office space is used to generate revenue. In summary, a deferred expense occurs when a company pays cash before recognizing the associated expense. 62) A Prepaid insurance is an asset account (not a liability account) that appears on the balance sheet. 63) B Paying cash to purchase the right to use office space in the future is an asset exchange event. One asset account (Cash) decreases and another asset account (Prepaid Rent) increases. The recognition of rent expense is deferred until a future date when the office space is used in the process of generating revenue. 64) A Paying cash to lease an office building that will be used in the future is an asset exchange transaction. One asset account (Cash) decreases and another asset account (Prepaid Rent) increases. The income statement is not affected. The cash outflow is shown in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. 65) D Cost per month = $2,400 total ÷ 12 months = $200 per month As of December 31, Year 1: Amount used = $200 per month × 5 months = $1,000 insurance expense The expense recognition is an asset use transaction. On the balance sheet, assets (Prepaid Insurance) decrease and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) decreases. Version 1
57
66) B The adjusting entry to recognize the use of insurance coverage is an asset use transaction. On the balance sheet, assets (Prepaid Insurance) decrease and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) decreases. The expense recognition decreases the amount of net income. The cash flow occurred at the time the insurance was purchased. There is no cashflow effect at the time the expense is recognized on December 31, Year 1. 67) C Cost per month = $1,200 total ÷ 12 months = $100 per month As of December 31, Year 1: Amount used = $100 per month × 10 months = $1,000 insurance expense Future benefit = $100 per month × 2 months = $200 prepaid insurance 68) D The cash outflow is not affected by how much of the office space has or has not been used. Since $3,600 cash was paid in Year 1, there would be a $3,600 cash outflow from operating activities shown on the Year 1 statement of cash flows. There would be zero cash flow shown on the Year 2 statement of cash flows. 69) B Cost per month = $1,200 total ÷ 12 months = $100 per month As of December 31, Year 1: Amount used = $100 per month × 7 months = $700 insurance expense Future benefit = $100 per month × 5 months = $500 prepaid insurance Since all of the cash was paid in Year 1, the total $1,200 cash outflow would be shown on the Year 1 statement of cash flows. Zero would be shown in Year 2. 70) C

Note that revenues as well as expenses can be deferred. A deferral occurs whenever a company receives or pays cash but defers (delays) the recognition of the related revenue or expense. Recall that revenue cannot be recognized before the work has been done. This is true even if the company has already received the cash for the work that will be done in the future. In this case the company would receive the cash but defer the recognition of revenue until it has completed the work. 71) D Collecting cash for services to be provided in the future is an asset source transaction. The asset account (Cash) and the liability account (Unearned Revenue) increase. The unearned revenue account shows the company’s obligation to perform services in the future. Revenue recognition is deferred until the services are actually performed. 72) B Collecting cash for services to be provided in the future is an asset source transaction. The asset account (Cash) and the liability account (Unearned Revenue) increase. The retained earnings account is not affected because the revenue recognition is deferred. 73) B Collecting cash for services to be rendered in the future is an asset source transaction. The asset account (Cash) increases and the liability account (Unearned Revenue) increases. Since the revenue recognition is deferred (delayed), there is no effect on the income statement. A cash inflow from operating activities is shown on the statement of cash flows. 74) B

Revenue earned per month = $120,000 total ÷ 12 months = $10,000 per month As of December 31, Year 1: Amount earned = $10,000 per month × 4 months = $40,000 service revenue Future obligation = $10,000 per month × 8 months = $80,000 unearned revenue 75) C Monthly revenue = Receipt of $13,200 ÷ 12 months = $1,100 per month Revenue (on the income statement) = $1,100 per month × 3 months (October through December) = $3,300 The company will recognize the $13,200 received as a cash inflow from operating activities in Year 1. 76) C Monthly revenue = Receipt of $24,000 ÷ 12 months = $2,000 per month Revenue (on the income statement) = $2,000 per month× 3 months (October through December) = $6,000 The company will recognize the $24,000 received as a cash inflow from operating activities in Year 1. 77) A Revenue earned per month = $48,000 total ÷ 12 months = $4,000 per month As of December 31, Year 1: Amount earned = $4,000 per month × 7 months = $28,000 service revenue Recognizing deferred revenue is a claims exchange transaction. On the balance sheet, liabilities (Unearned Revenue) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) decrease by $28,000. 78) D Version 1

Revenue earned per month = $60,000 total ÷ 12 months = $5,000 per month As of December 31, Year 1: Amount earned = $5,000 per month × 11 months = $55,000 service revenue Future obligation = $5,000 per month × 1 month = $5,000 unearned revenue As of December 31, Year 2: Amount earned = $5,000 per month × 1 months = $5,000 service revenue All of the revenue has been earned by the end of Year 2 so the amount of unearned revenue is zero on December 31, Year 2. 79) C When a company collects cash for services before they are provided, the company recognizes an obligation to provide the services in the future (Unearned Revenue). When the company settles its obligation by providing services, the liability account (Unearned Revenue) decreases and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) increases. This is a claims exchange transaction. On the income statement, the increase in revenue causes net income to increase. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows because the cash flow was previously recognized at the time the cash was collected from the client. 80) A

Revenue earned per month = $84,000 total ÷ 12 months = $7,000 per month As of December 31, Year 1: Amount earned = $7,000 per month × 5 months = $35,000 service revenue All of the cash was collected in Year 1. The cash inflow from operating activities on the December 31, Year 1 statement of cash flows would be $84,000. 81) A Earnings per month = $12,000 total ÷ 12 months = $1,000 per month As of December 31, Year 2: Amount earned = $1,000 per month × 3 months = $3,000 earned revenue Future obligation = $1,000 per month × 9 months = $9,000 unearned revenue The $3,000 earned revenue is shown on the Year 2 income statement and the $9,000 remaining balance in the unearned revenue account is shown on the Year 2 balance sheet. As of December 31, Year 3: Amount earned = $1,000 per month × 9 = $9,000 earned revenue Since all of the revenue has been earned by December 31, Year 3, the balance in the unearned revenue account on the Year 3 balance sheet is zero. 82) D

Amount of supplies expense: $500 beginning balance in supplies + $1,000 supplies purchased = $1,500 supplies available for use; $1,500 supplies available for use − $300 ending balance of supplies = $1,200 supplies expense shown on the Year 2 income statement. Amount of accounts payable balance: $400 beginning balance + $1,000 increase due to purchase of supplies − $1,200 payment to reduce accounts payable = $200 ending balance of accounts payable shown on the Year 2 balance sheet. $2,000 cash revenue − $1,200 cash payment to reduce accounts payable = $800 Net cash inflow from operating activities on Year 2 statement of cash flows. 83) D Cost per month for rent = $2,400 total ÷ 12 months = $200 per month As of December 31, Year 2: Amount used = $200 per month × 9 months = $1,800 rent expense for Year 2 income statement. Amount unused = $200 per month × 3 months = $600 prepaid rent for Year 2 balance sheet. Net cash flow from operating activities: $3,600 cash inflow from customers (revenue) − $2,400 cash outflow for rent = $1,200 net cash inflow. Ending retained earnings balance: $1,000 beginning balance in retained earnings + $3,600 revenue − $1,800 rent expense − $200 cash dividend = $2,600 ending retained earnings balance on the Year 2 balance sheet. 84) C Purchasing a long-term asset is a deferral event. The cost of the purchase is placed in an asset account on the day of purchase. As the asset is used, a portion of its cost will be expensed. Accordingly, the expense recognition is spread over the useful life of the asset. Since the company pays the cash before it recognizes the expense, the purchase is a deferral. 85) A Version 1

Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost − $4,000 Salvage) ÷ 6 Year life = $10,000 Straight-line depreciation recognizes the same amount of expense for each year of useful life. In this case, $10,000 will be recognized in Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, Year 4, Year 5, and Year 6. 86) B Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($35,000 Cost − $8,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $6,750 The accumulated depreciation account is a contra asset account. As its name implies, the balance accumulates each year. In this case, the ending balance in the accumulated depreciation account will be $6,750 in Year 1, $13,500 in Year 2, $20,250 in Year 3, and $27,000 in Year 4. 87) B Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($55,000 Cost − $5,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $12,500 The book value is the amount of the cost of the asset minus the accumulated depreciation.

The purchase of inventory on account increases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and liabilities (Accounts Payable). Because product costs are expensed when inventory is sold, not when the goods are purchased, the event does not affect net income. Because the purchase was made on account, this transaction does not affect the statement of cash flows. 2) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income I/D NA NA NA NA NA NA
Because incurring transportation-in costs is necessary to obtain inventory, these costs are added to the inventory account. The freight cost increases one asset account (Merchandise Inventory) and decreases another asset account (Cash). Net income is not affected by this transaction because transportation-in costs are not expensed when they are incurred. Instead, they are expensed as part of cost of goods sold when the inventory is sold. However, the cash paid for transportation-in costs is reported as an outflow in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. 3) Balance Sheet

Recording the sale increases assets (Accounts Receivable) and increases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $950. Sales revenue and net income increase by the same amount. Recording the cost of the merchandise sold decreases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $600. The expense (Cost of Goods Sold) increases and net income decreases by that same amount. The net effect on assets and stockholders' equity is an increase to each of $350 (or $950 − $600).

The sales return decreases assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $60. Sales revenue and net income decrease by the same amount. Because the company got the inventory back, the sales return increases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $35. The expense (Cost of Goods Sold) decreases and net income increases by that same amount. The net effect is a decrease to assets and stockholders' equity of $25 (or $60 − $35).

Recording the sale increases assets (Cash) and increases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $1,400. Sales revenue and net income increase by the same amount. Recording the cost of the merchandise sold decreases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $850. The expense (Cost of Goods Sold) increases and net income decreases by that same amount. The net effect on assets and stockholders' equity is an increase to each of $550 (or $1,400 − $850).

Although no inventory was physically returned, the cost of the inventory on hand decreased. Therefore, the purchase allowance decreases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and decreases liabilities (Accounts Payable) by $250.

13) Examples of period costs include selling and administrative costs such as advertising, administrative salaries, sales commissions, and insurance. (Notes to instructor: Only three are required. Transportationout is another example of a period cost.) Period costs are usually recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. 14) Payment of transportation-in, storage costs, and the cost of the merchandise itself are product costs. They are recognized at the time the merchandise inventory is sold. The expense account is called Cost of Goods Sold. 15) A merchandising business generates revenue by selling goods to customers while a service business generates revenue by providing services to its customers. 16) Assets increase (Inventory) and liabilities increase (Accounts Payable). 17) If goods are delivered FOB destination, the seller is responsible. If goods are delivered FOB shipping point, the buyer is responsible for the freight cost. 18) These terms mean the seller will allow a 2 percent cash discount if the purchaser pays cash within 15 days from the date of purchase. The amount not paid within the first 15 days is due at the end of 30 days from the date of purchase. 19) FOB shipping point The terms FOB shipping point and FOB destination identify whether the buyer or the seller is responsible for freight costs. If goods are delivered FOB shipping point, the buyer is responsible for the freight cost. If goods are delivered FOB destination, the seller is responsible.

Both the buyer and seller will benefit. The buyer benefits by paying a lower price for the goods. The seller benefits by collecting cash sooner. 22) a) Assets decrease (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) decreases. Revenue and net income decrease. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows. b) Assets (Inventory) decrease and liabilities (Accounts Payable) decrease. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows. 23) Transportation-in is the freight cost on goods purchased under the terms FOB shipping point. It is a product cost and is recorded in the merchandise inventory account. Transportation-out is the freight cost on goods sold to customers under the terms FOB destination. It is a period cost and is recorded in the transportation-out account. Transportation-out is reported on the income statement as an operating expense in the section below gross margin.

24) Gains and losses result from peripheral activities that are not likely to recur, such as the sale of land for more or less than its historic cost. As such, they are presented separately from revenues and expenses on a multistep income statement, below operating income. They are similar in that they all appear on the income statement. Gains are similar to revenues in that they increase net income. Losses are similar to expenses in that they decrease net income. 25) Multistep income statement 26) It would normally discover that merchandise has been lost or stolen when taking a physical inventory count of the merchandise, and comparing that count to the inventory balance in the ledger account. 27) Common size statements express items on financial statements as percentages. For example, on the income statement, cost of goods sold, gross margin, operating expenses, and net income are calculated as a percentage of net sales. Percentages help the user of financial statements to compare statements over time and to compare one company with another company. 28) a. The gross margin percentage is computed by dividing gross margin by net sales. This measurement provides information about the firm's pricing strategy. b. The return on sales is computed by dividing net income by net sales. This measurement helps the user determine how efficiently the firm is controlling its costs and expenses. The return on sales can be explained as the number of pennies earned on each sales dollar.

29) The perpetual system derives its name from the fact that the balance in the inventory account is adjusted perpetually. The balances of the inventory account as well as cost of goods sold are determined at the point of sale. In the periodic system, inventory balances are only determined by a physical count, and the cost of goods sold is computed at the end of the period. 30) In both systems, such losses are not known immediately. In the perpetual system, losses are often discovered only when comparing a physical inventory count with the current balance of the inventory account. An adjustment is then made reducing the inventory balance and recording an increase in the cost of goods sold (expense) account. Under a periodic system, losses are not really "discovered" but rather are included in the computation of cost of goods sold after the physical inventory is taken. Periodic systems do not separate the cost of lost, damaged or stolen merchandise from the cost of goods sold. 31) a) T b) F c) F d) F e) F 1.a) This is true. Merchandising companies primarily sell goods to customers, both retail and wholesale. 2.b) This is false. Merchandise inventory is the account used for accumulating supplies of goods for resale. 3.c) This is false. Retail companies are firms that primarily sell goods to the public, not to other businesses. 4.d) This is false. Costs associated with selling products include cost of goods sold (product costs) and selling expenses (period costs). 5.e) This is false.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 04_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) TRUE Wholesale companies primarily sell goods to other businesses, while retail companies primarily sell goods to the public. 2) FALSE Retailers and wholesalers, but not manufacturers, are merchandising companies. 3) FALSE Selling costs are period costs. 4) FALSE Beginning inventory + Inventory purchased during the period = Cost of goods available for sale. Cost of goods available for sale is allocated between the asset account Merchandise Inventory and an expense account called Cost of Goods Sold. The cost of inventory items that have not been sold (Merchandise Inventory) is reported as an asset on the balance sheet, and the cost of the items sold (Cost of Goods Sold) is expensed on the income statement. 5) TRUE Product costs are charged to the merchandise inventory account and expensed when goods are sold. 6) FALSE Selling and administrative costs are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred. In contrast, product costs are expensed when inventory is sold. 7) FALSE Version 1

Gross margin is equal to net sales minus cost of goods sold. 8) TRUE In a perpetual system, inventory is updated for purchases, sales, and returns of inventory. 9) FALSE In a perpetual system, the cost of merchandise inventory is recognized as cost of goods sold when inventory is sold, not when it is purchased. 10) TRUE When a perpetual inventory system is used, recording the sale increases assets (Cash or Accounts Receivable) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by the selling price of the inventory. Sales revenue and net income increase by the same amount. Recording the cost of the merchandise sold decreases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by the cost of the inventory. The expense (cost of goods sold) increases and net income decreases by that same amount. The net effect on assets and stockholders' equity is an increase to each by the amount of the gross margin (or the selling price minus the cost of the inventory sold). 11) FALSE A purchase allowance decreases assets (merchandise inventory) and liabilities (accounts payable). A purchase allowance does not directly affect the income statement. 12) TRUE A purchase discount decreases the purchaser's assets (Merchandise Inventory) and liabilities (Accounts Payable). 13) FALSE Purchase discount = $3,300 × 0.02 = $66 Cost of goods sold = List price of purchase − Purchase discount Cost of goods sold = $3,300 − $66 = $3,234 14) TRUE Version 1
50
Product costs are recognized as expenses when goods are sold, not when they are purchased. 15) FALSE If goods are delivered FOB shipping point, the buyer, not the seller, is responsible for freight costs. 16) TRUE Transportation-out is reported on the income statement as an operating expense in the section below gross margin. 17) FALSE Gains (and losses) on the sale of land are recorded when the land is sold for more (or less) than its cost. 18) TRUE Multistep income statements show gross margin, but single-step income statements do not. 19) TRUE Multistep income statements separate operating expenses from peripheral or nonoperating items such as gains, losses, and interest. 20) TRUE A physical count may reveal inventory shrinkage if the physical count is lower than the book inventory. 21) TRUE The write-off decreases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). The write-off increases expenses and decreases net income. 22) FALSE Net sales is calculated by subtracting sales returns, discounts, and allowances from sales revenue. 23) TRUE
Version 1
51
A sales discount is recorded as a decrease in sales and a decrease in accounts receivable. A purchase discount is recorded as a decrease in inventory and a decrease in accounts payable. 24) TRUE A common size income statement shows each item as a percentage of net sales, and a common size balance sheet shows each item as a percentage of total assets. 25) FALSE All amounts on the common size income statement are divided by net sales, not net income. 26) FALSE Net sales = Sales − Sales returns − Sales discounts Gross margin = Net sales − Cost of goods sold Thus, sales discounts decrease net sales and gross margin equally. 27) FALSE That is a description of gross margin percentage. 28) TRUE In a periodic inventory system, inventory purchases are recorded in the Purchases account. 29) FALSE No entries for the cost of merchandise purchases or sales are recorded in the Inventory account during the period. The cost of goods sold is determined at the end of the period. 30) TRUE The choice of perpetual or periodic inventory system does not affect the amount of cost of goods sold reported on the income statement. It only affects the manner in which transactions are entered into the accounting system. 31) A

Freight cost on goods delivered to customers FOB destination is a period cost (expense) called transportation-out. 32) B Merchandising companies, such as retailers, purchase goods and resell them without making significant changes to those goods. 33) D Regal Cinemas is a service business. Its primary business does not involve purchasing goods and reselling them. 34) A Retail firms sell merchandise to the general public, whereas wholesale firms sell merchandise to other businesses. Both are considered merchandising businesses. 35) A The revenue recognition is the first part of a two-part transaction. The sales part represents a source of assets (cash increases from earning sales revenue). Both assets (Cash) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) increase. Sales revenue and net income on the income statement increase. The $2,000 cash inflow is reported in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. 36) B Both assets (Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) decrease. An expense account, cost of goods sold, is reported on the income statement which decreases net income. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows. 37) C Transportation cost on purchased goods is a product cost that increases the merchandise inventory account and is reported as a component of cost of goods sold on the income statement when the inventory is sold. 38) B
Version 1
53
Advertising expense is a selling and administrative expense, or period cost. 39) D Because inventory items are referred to as products, inventory costs are frequently called product costs. Product costs are matched directly with sales revenue, (that is, expensed) when inventory is sold, regardless of when it was purchased. 40) B Purchasing merchandise inventory for cash is an asset exchange transaction. One asset, Cash, decreases while another asset, Merchandise Inventory, increases. Total assets remain unchanged. 41) D Cost of goods sold is the expense recognized when merchandise is sold. 42) C When a merchandising company sells inventory, it will recognize sales revenue for the amount of the sales price. The company will also recognize a cost of goods sold expense for the amount of the cost of the goods that were sold. 43) B Gross margin is the difference between sales revenue and the cost of goods sold expense. It is normally shown as the first step in a multi-step income statement. The operating expenses are then subtracted from gross margin to determine the amount of net income. In contrast, on a single step income statement cost of goods sold is shown as one of a number of operating expenses that are subtracted from sales revenue to determine net income. This single-step format does not show the determination of gross margin. Multistep and single-step formats are used only for income statements, they do not apply to the balance sheet. 44) A
Version 1
54
Most period costs, such as advertising, salaries and wages, rent, and insurance, are expensed when they are incurred. 45) A Payment of the amount due on an account payable decreases assets (Cash) and liabilities (Accounts Payable). It does not affect net income but will be reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 46) C The payment of transportation-in is an asset exchange transaction that increases one asset (Merchandise Inventory) and decreases another asset (Cash). 47) B Purchasing merchandise inventory for cash is an asset exchange transaction. One asset, Cash, decreases while another asset, Merchandise Inventory, increases. Total assets remain unchanged. 48) C The return of merchandise before payment has been made decreases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and liabilities (Accounts Payable) by the full invoiced amount of the merchandise returned of $2,100. 49) C The return of merchandise before payment has been made decreases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and liabilities (Accounts Payable) by the full invoiced amount of the merchandise returned of $1,200. 50) A

Sales and net income decrease by that same amount. Because the company got the inventory back, the sales return increases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $3,700. The expense (cost of goods sold) decreases and net income increases by that same amount. The net effect of both parts of this business event is a decrease to assets and stockholders’ equity of $2,700 (or $6,400− $3,700). 55) A The sales return decreases assets (Cash) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $2,600. Sales and net income decrease by that same amount.

The expense (cost of goods sold) decreases and net income increases by that same amount. The net effect of both parts of this business event is a decrease to assets and stockholders’ equity of $900 (or $2,600 − $1,700). 56) C

Purchasing merchandise inventory on account increases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and increases liabilities (Accounts Payable). Because product costs are expensed when inventory is sold, not when the goods are purchased, the event does not affect net income. Since the inventory was purchased on account, it does not affect the statement of cash flows. 57) D A purchase return would decrease assets (Merchandise Inventory) and decrease liabilities (Accounts Payable). It would not affect stockholders’ equity, revenue, expenses, or net income. It would not affect the statement of cash flows. 58) B The amount of the return is $100. The return reduces the cost of the inventory thereby reducing assets. It also reduces the balance due on the account payable thereby reducing liabilities. The income statement will not be affected. While the return reduces the amount of the account payable, it does not immediately affect cash flow. Accordingly, the return has no effect on the statement of cash flows. 59) B The cost of the inventory is $8,000 ($10,000 original cost − $2,000 purchase return). The amount of the cost of the inventory will remain in the inventory account until the inventory is sold. 60) D The amount of the return is $200. Since the inventory was purchased for cash, cash will be received when the inventory is returned. The return increases Cash and decreases Inventory. The return is simply an asset exchange. The income statement will not be affected. It does affect cash flow. The return increases operating cash flow by $200. 61) A

The cost of the inventory is $8,000 ($10,000 original cost − $2,000 purchase return). The inventory was sold to customers for $10,000. Net income would be $2,000 (Sales $10,000 − Cost of Goods Sold $8,000). 62) B Only Event 3 affects cash flow. The account payable is $8,000 ($10,000 original cost − $2,000 purchase return) and is paid in cash. Therefore, Net Operating Cash Flow is ($8,000). Event 4 does not affect cash because the inventory was sold on account to customers. 63) B The amount of the discount is $80 [($10,000 original cost − $2,000 purchase return) × 0.01]. The discount reduces the cost of the inventory thereby reducing assets. It also reduces the balance due on the account payable thereby reducing liabilities. The income statement will not be affected until the inventory is sold. While the discount reduces the amount of the account payable, it does not immediately affect cash flow. The cash flow occurs when the account payable is paid. Accordingly, the discount has no effect on the statement of cash flows. 64) A The cost of the inventory is $7,920 ($10,000 original cost − $2,000 purchase return − $80 cash discount). The amount of the cost of the inventory will remain in the inventory account until the inventory is sold. 65) D The balance in accounts payable after the three events is 7,920 (For Example 10,000 − 2,000 return − 80 discount). Paying off the account payable balance decreases assets (Cash) and liabilities (Accounts Payable). It does not affect the income statement as the expense is recognized when the inventory is sold not when the account payable is paid off. This transaction does affect the statement of cash flows. It is a $7,920 cash outflow for operating activities. Version 1

66) B If the Company pays after the discount period has expired, there will be no discount granted. The amount due will be $8,000 ($10,000 original account payable − $2,000 reduction in the account payable due to the purchase return). 67) C Since the terms are FOB shipping point, Taylor (the buyer) takes ownership of the goods at the point where the goods are shipped. Since the buyer owns the goods before they are transported, the buyer is responsible for paying the cost of transporting the goods. In this case, Taylor would classify the freight cost as transportation-in or freight-in. Since Taylor had to pay the freight cost to obtain the inventory, the transportation-in cost is part of the cost of the inventory and is added to the inventory account. The cash purchase of inventory including freight cost is an asset exchange transaction. One asset account (Cash) decreases and another asset account (Inventory) increases. The income statement is affected when inventory is sold not when inventory is purchased. As a result, there is no impact on the income statement. Since the cash was paid to purchase a short-term asset used in the operations of the company, the cash outflow is an operating activity. 68) D Since the terms are FOB destination the seller owns the goods until they reach their destination. Therefore, the seller must pay the cost of delivering the goods to Taha. Since Taha did not have to pay the freight cost, the cost of the inventory is $9,000. The purchase is an asset exchange transaction. One asset account (Cash) decreases and another asset account (Inventory) increases. The income statement is not affected at the time inventory is purchased. Since the cash was paid to purchase a short-term asset used in the operations of the company, the cash outflow is an operating activity. Version 1

69) D Inventory shrinkage means that a company has experienced an economic sacrifice in the form of a decrease in its assets. The shrinkage may have been due to lost, damaged, or stolen goods. Regardless of the specific reason, the company experienced a decrease in its assets in the process of conducting its normal operating activities. Therefore, the inventory shrinkage is classified as an expense. The recognition of the shrinkage will cause assets (inventory) to decrease and expenses to increase. The increase in expenses will cause net income and ultimately equity (retained earnings) to decrease. Since cash was not affected by the shrinkage, the statement of cash flows is not affected. If the amount of the shrinkage is material, it must be shown as an operating expense on the income statement. However, the amount of the shrinkage is normally immaterial and is usually included in cost of goods sold as a matter of convenience. 70) A Sales discount = $50,000 sales revenue × 3% = $1,500 Snell Company would collect $48,500 cash (or $50,000 sales revenue − $1,500) from the customer. Assets (Cash) would increase by $48,500 and assets (Accounts Receivable) would decrease by $50,000 (resulting in an overall decrease to total assets of $1,500) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) would decrease by $1,500. On the income statement, sales revenue would decrease by $1,500, which would decrease net income. The company would report a $48,500 cash inflow from operating activities. 71) C
Version 1

The revenue recognition is the first part of a two-part transaction. Recognizing the revenue would have increased both assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by the selling price of the merchandise that was sold. The expense recognition is the second part of the two-part transaction. Recognizing the expense would have decreased assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by the cost of the merchandise that was sold. If the company fails to record both parts of this two-part transaction, assets and stockholders’ equity would be understated by the difference between the selling price of the merchandise and its cost. 72) B The payment for transportation-in will decrease one asset (Cash) and increase another asset (Merchandise Inventory). It will not affect net income but will be reported as a cash outflow for operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 73) D Transportation-in is a product cost that increases one asset (Merchandise Inventory) and decreases another asset (Cash). Because product costs are expensed when inventory is sold, not when the goods are purchased, the event does not affect net income. It is reported as a cash outflow for operating activities. 74) A Cost of goods sold (3), transportation-out (4), selling expense (7), loss on the sale of land (8), and sales (9) will all appear on the income statement. The remaining accounts appear on the balance sheet, except for dividends which appear on the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. 75) C

Cash (1), merchandise inventory (2), and common stock (6) appear on the balance sheet. The remaining accounts appear on the income statement, except for dividends which appear on the statement of changes in stockholders' equity. 76) B Gross margin is calculated as sales (9) minus cost of goods sold (3). 77) C Operating income is the amount of income that is generated from the normal recurring operations of a business. Items that are not expected to recur on a regular basis are subtracted from the operating income to determine the amount of net income. Here, operating income includes sales (9), cost of goods sold (3), transportation-out (4) and selling expense (7). The loss on the sale of the land (8) would not be expected to recur on a regular basis; thus, it does not affect operating income. 78) B Paying cash for transportation-out decreases assets (Cash) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). Transportation-out is a period cost, which increases expenses and decreases net income. 79) D The purchase of inventory on account increases assets (Merchandise Inventory) and liabilities (Accounts Payable). 80) B The sale will cause the inventory account to decrease by $155, the cost of the item sold. 81) B The sale will cause the inventory account to decrease by $130, the cost of the item sold. 82) C

Recognizing the sales revenue part of the transaction will increase assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $8,800. Recognizing the expense part of the transaction will decrease assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $5,400; this expense will be reported on the income statement as cost of goods sold. The net effect is an increase to total assets and total stockholders’ equity of $3,400 (or $8,800 − $5,400). 83) C Recognizing the sales revenue part of the transaction will increase assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $3,600. Recognizing the expense part of the transaction will decrease assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $2,300; this expense will be reported on the income statement as cost of goods sold. The net effect is an increase to total assets and total stockholders’ equity of $1,300 (or $3,600 − $2,300). 84) D Gross margin = Net sales− Cost of goods sold Gross margin = $15,250 − $8,600 = $6,650 85) B Gross margin = Net sales − Cost of goods sold Gross margin = $57,000 − $32,800 = $24,200 86) A Inventory at end of Year 2 = Inventory at beginning of Year 1 + Purchases during Years 1 and 2 − Cost of goods sold during Years 1 and 2 Inventory at end of Year 2 = $0 + ($8,300 + $12,200) − ($5,700 + $9,900) = $4,900 87) B

Inventory at end of Year 2 = Inventory at beginning of Year 1 + Purchases during Years 1 and 2 − Cost of goods sold during Years 1 and 2 Inventory at end of Year 2 = $0 + ($26,400 + $35,200) − ($16,000 + $32,800) = $12,800 88) B Net income = Sales − Cost of goods sold − Operating expenses +/− Nonoperating items (which are zero here) Year 1 Net income = $9,400 − $4,700 − $4,200 = $500 Year 2 Net income = $16,000 − $8,900 − $5,200 = $1,900 Retained earnings at end of Year 2 = Retained earnings at beginning of Year 1 + Net income for Years 1 and 2 − Dividends (which are zero here) Retained earnings at end of Year 2 = $0 + $500 + $1,900 = $2,400 89) C Net income = Sales − Cost of goods sold − Operating expenses +/− Nonoperating items (which are zero here) Year 1 Net income = $30,600 − $16,000 − $14,000 = $600 Year 2 Net income = $57,000 − $32,800 − $18,000 = $6,200 Retained earnings at end of Year 2 = Retained earnings at beginning of Year 1 + Net income for Years 1 and 2 − Dividends (which are zero here) Retained earnings at end of Year 2 = $0 + $600 + $6,200 = $6,800 90) D A purchase discount reduces the cost of the merchandise inventory and the associated account payable on the balance sheet. A purchase discount does not directly affect the income statement or the statement of cash flows. 91) C

Granting a sales allowance to a customer decreases assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It decreases revenue and net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 92) D The purchase return will decrease assets (Merchandise Inventory) and liabilities (Accounts Payable). It will not affect net income or the statement of cash flows. 93) A If goods are delivered FOB shipping point, the buyer is responsible for the freight cost. 94) D If goods are delivered FOB destination, the seller is responsible for the freight costs. The seller will record an expense (transportation-out). 95) D The same cash discount is treated as a sales discount by the seller and as a purchase discount by the buyer. 96) C Paying for transportation-out decreases assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (transportation-out), which decreases net income. It is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 97) B Note that the cost of inventory sold is the list price less any purchase returns and allowances and purchase discounts, plus transportation-in costs. Cost of goods sold = List price of purchase − Purchase discount + Transportation-in Cost of goods sold = $9,100 − ($9,100 × 0.04) + $360 = $9,096 Gross margin = Net sales − Cost of goods sold Gross margin = $17,200 − $9,096 = $8,104 Version 1

The amount not paid within the first 15 days is due at the end of 30 days from date of purchase. 100) B Gross margin = Net sales − Cost of goods sold Gross margin = $7,000 − $4,000 = $3,000 The sale of the inventory generates a cash inflow from operating activities of $7,000. Since it was purchased on account, the purchase of the inventory for $4,000 does not affect the statement of cash flows. 101) D Vargas would record a gain on the sale of land of $6,500 (or $39,000 − $32,500). The sale would be reported as a cash inflow from investing activities. The gain would affect net income but is shown below operating income on the income statement. 102) B The write-off decreases both assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). The write-off increases expenses {inventory loss (cost of goods sold)} and decreases net income. Cash flow is not affected. Version 1

103) A Green Company is responsible for the transportation-in costs of $730 since the inventory was shipped FOB shipping point by the supplier. Purchases = Purchases − Purchase discount + Transportation-in Purchases = $17,300 − ($17,300 × 0.02) + $730 = $17,684 All of the merchandise sold to customers was delivered under terms FOB destination; as such Green Company was responsible for the transportation-out cost of $530. However, transportation-out is an operating expense and, as such, does not affect the gross margin calculation.

Under these circumstances the company must make an adjusting entry to write down assets (Merchandise Inventory) so the amount reported on the financial statements agrees with the amount actually on hand at the end of the period. The write down of $1,750 (or $18,000 book balance − $16,250 physical count) decreases both assets (Merchandise Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). The write-down increases expenses and decreases net income. It does not affect cash flows. 108) D Common size statements can be used to make comparisons between different firms or between different time periods. 109) B Neiman Marcus, a retailer selling higher priced goods, is likely to have the highest gross margin percentage. 110) B Net income percentage is net income as a percentage of net sales.

19) Kincaid Camera Shop applies the lower-of-cost-or-market rule to individual items of inventory. During the year, some of Kincaid's inventory items decreased in market value due to obsolescence. Other items increased in market value during the year. In total, the market value of Kincaid's inventory was higher at the end of the year than the cost of the inventory. Would Kincaid have an adjustment to make at the end of the year due to the lower-of-cost-or-market rule? Why or why not? Would the answer be any different if Kincaid applied the rule to the entire stock of inventory in the aggregate rather than to individual items?

The purchase of inventory on account increases assets (Inventory) and increases liabilities (Accounts Payable). It does not affect stockholders' equity or net income. Because the purchase was made on account, this transaction does not affect the statement of cash flows. 2) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income I/D NA NA NA NA NA D
The purchase of inventory for cash increases one asset (Inventory) and decreases another asset (Cash). It does not affect stockholders' equity or net income. It is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 3) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income I NA I I I I I

Recording the sale increases assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by the selling price of the surfboards. It increases revenue, which increases net income by the same amount. Recording the cost of the merchandise sold decreases assets (Inventory) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). The expense (cost of goods sold) increases and net income decreases by the same amount. The net effect on assets and stockholders' equity is an increase to each by the difference between the selling price and the cost of the six surfboards. The cash received from the sale will be reported as a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 4) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income I NA I I I I I
Recording the sale increases assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by the selling price of the surfboards. It increases revenue, which increases net income by the same amount.

Payment of income tax will decrease assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). Expenses (income tax expense) increase, which decreases net income. It is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 6) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D NA D NA I D D
Because the market value of the entire stock of inventory in the aggregate is lower than cost, the company will write down the inventory to the lower market value. The write-down will decrease assets (Inventory) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses [cost of goods sold (if immaterial) or operating expenses (if material)], which decreases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 7) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income O NA O NA U O NA
Counting inventory that does not belong to the company overstates assets (Inventory) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It understates expenses (cost of goods sold), which overstates net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 8) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Because the market value is higher than the inventory's cost, there is no adjustment necessary. 9) The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. The lastin, first-out (LIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. 10) LIFO The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. In an inflationary environment, LIFO will produce a higher cost of goods sold, so it will result in the lowest net income and the smallest balance in ending inventory. 11) FIFO The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. In an inflationary period, FIFO reports the lowest cost of goods sold (earliest purchases) and the largest balance in ending inventory (most recent purchases). 12) LIFO The last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last (most expensive items) be charged to cost of goods sold. As a result, LIFO results in recognizing the lowest gross margin, lowest net income, and the lowest income tax expense. The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold.

13) Goods usually move physically on a FIFO basis, which means that the first items of merchandise acquired by a company (first-in) are the first items sold to its customers (first-out). The inventory items on hand at the end of the accounting period are typically the last items in (the most recently acquired goods). If companies did not sell their oldest inventory items first, inventories would include dated, less marketable merchandise. Cost flow, however, can differ from physical flow. For example, a company may use LIFO or weighted average for financial reporting even if its goods flow physically on a FIFO basis. 14) If the impact of income tax is ignored, the cash flow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows is identical under all three methods. Regardless of the cost flow reporting method, the company pays the same amount of cash to purchase inventory and receives the same amount of cash when it sells inventory. However, income tax does have an impact on this decision. In an inflationary environment, FIFO produces the highest gross margin; it also produces the highest net income and the highest income tax expense. In contrast, LIFO results in recognizing the lowest gross margin, lowest net income, and the lowest income tax expense. The use of LIFO results in a lower cash outflow for income taxes. 15) The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. The inventory records are maintained in layers. Each time a transaction occurs, the cost per unit in the first layer of inventory is assigned to the items sold. If the number of items sold exceeds the number of items in the first layer, the cost per unit of the next layer is assigned to the remaining number of units sold, and so on.

16) When maintaining perpetual inventory records, using the LIFO cost flow method leads to timing difficulties. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. When sales and purchases occur intermittently, the cost of the last items purchased isn't known at the time earlier sales occur. Accountants can solve cost flow timing problems by keeping perpetual records of the quantity (number of units) of items purchased and sold separately from the related costs. 17) When weighted-average is used, first, the average cost per unit is calculated by dividing the total cost of goods available for sale by the total number of units available. Then, cost of goods sold is calculated by multiplying the average cost per unit by the number of units sold. 18) If the company's inventory items have declined in value from damage or obsolescence, the market value of the inventory, in aggregate, will be lower than its cost and the company will write down the inventory to the lower market value. The write-down will decrease assets (inventory) and stockholders' equity (retained earnings). 19) Kincaid would still have an adjustment at the end of the year for those items that lost value because the company applies the rule individually. However, no adjustment would be necessary if Kincaid applied the rule to the entire stock of inventory in the aggregate because the total market value of the inventory exceeded the total cost of the inventory. 20) When the lower-of-cost-or-market rule is applied to each individual inventory item, the accountant looks at each line item in the inventory and determines whether the original cost is higher or lower than the current market value. The lower of the two figures is then multiplied by the number of units. After performing this step for each line item in the inventory, the total of the resultant figures will be the valuation of the inventory. Each item is thus valued at the lower of cost or market.

21) Cost is determined using the FIFO, LIFO, weighted average, or specific identification cost flow method. Market is defined as the amount the company would have to pay to replace the merchandise. 22) If a material difference is detected between the physical and book inventories, an inventory adjustment is normally made. For example, if the physical count is less than the book figure, cost of goods sold (or an inventory loss account) would be increased and the inventory account would be decreased. 23) Understating ending inventory would cause the following effects in the first year: an overstatement of cost of goods sold and an understatement of gross margin, net income, retained earnings and total assets. In the following year, the error would reverse itself. Beginning inventory would be understated, cost of goods sold would be understated and gross margin and net income would be overstated. Retained earnings and total assets would be correctly stated at the end of the second year. 24) An estimate is helpful in determining the reasonableness of a physical inventory. If the book balance or the physical count is significantly higher than the estimated inventory balance, the analysis suggests the possibility of financial statement manipulation. 25) (1) Calculate the expected gross margin ratio using financial statement data from prior periods. (2) Estimate the dollar amount of gross margin by multiplying the gross margin percentage by the sales. (3) Estimate cost of goods sold by subtracting the estimated gross margin from sales. (4) Estimate ending inventory by subtracting the estimated cost of goods sold from the amount of goods available for sale (beginning inventory plus purchases).

26) Inventory turnover is computed by dividing cost of goods sold by inventory. This is a measure of the speed with which the inventory is sold. A high turnover is more desirable than a low turnover. 27) Average number of days to sell inventory gives an indication of how much stock is on hand. It shows an average of how long it would take for the average inventory to be sold. 28) Gross margin ratio Gross margin ratio, based on history, can be used, paired with sales of the current period, to estimate cost of goods sold, and subsequently, ending inventory. 29) a) T b) F c) F d) T e) F 1.a) This is true. LIFO will report the cost of the oldest unit of inventory (beginning inventory) as its ending inventory. 2.b) This is false. Average cost per unit = ($10 + $10 + $12) ÷ 3 = $10.67 per unit; Cost of goods sold = 2 units × $10.67 = $21.34 3.c) This is false. Cash flow from operating activities = $24 inflow + $24 inflow − $10 outflow − $12 outflow = $26 inflow 4.d) This is true. Cash flow from operating activities = $24 inflow + $24 inflow − $10 outflow − $12 outflow = $26 inflow. This is unaffected by the inventory cost flow method used. 5.e) This is false. Sales of $48 − Cost of goods sold of ($10 + $10) = $28 gross margin

30) a) F b) F c) T d) T e) T 1.a) This is false. Although FIFO mimics the physical flow of most inventory, the choice of a cost flow method does not necessarily conform to the physical flow of inventory. 2.b) This is false. In a period of rising inventory prices, the cost of the most recent purchases is higher than the cost of older inventory, so LIFO will produce a higher cost of goods sold than FIFO. 3.c) This is true. Average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sale ÷ Number of units available for sale. 4.d) This is true. In a period of declining inventory prices, the cost of the most recent purchases is lower than the cost of older inventory, so LIFO will produce a lower cost of goods sold than FIFO, resulting in a higher net income and a higher income tax expense. 5.e) This is true. In a period of rising inventory prices, the cost of the most recent purchases (which remain in inventory using FIFO) is higher than the cost of older inventory.

31) a) F b) T c) F d) T e) T 1.a) This is false. The lower (not higher) the company's inventory turnover ratio, the longer inventory remains in stock before it is sold, the higher the cost of financing inventory. 2.b) This is true. The decision a company makes regarding inventory cost flow is not related to decisions regarding selling prices. 3.c) This is false. If inventory prices are rising, LIFO will produce lower ending inventory than FIFO. Although LIFO will also result in lower income tax expense (decrease in cash), that difference is not as great as the difference in inventory. Therefore, total assets for LIFO will be lower than for FIFO. 4.d) This is true. A company that plans to offer more customer service will typically need to mark up their inventory more than a company that offers less service. Therefore, gross margin will be higher relative to sales, resulting in a higher gross margin percentage. 5.e) This is true. The lower-of-cost-or-market rule may result in a write-down of inventory, which decreases net income. However, since inventory is carried at cost and market cannot be greater than cost, the application of this rule will never result in a markup of inventory (or a resulting increase in net income).

32) a) T b) F c) T d) F e) T 1.a) This is true. The first step in applying the weighted-average method is computing the weighted average cost per unit. 2.b) This is false. Average cost per unit is calculate by dividing cost of goods available for sale by the number of units available for sale. 3.c) This is true. Under the FIFO method, each time units are sold, the cost per unit of the oldest inventory is applied to the number of units sold. 4.d) This is false. When maintaining perpetual inventory records, using the weighted-average or LIFO cost flow methods leads to timing difficulties. However, accountants can solve cost flow timing problems by keeping perpetual records of the quantities (number of units) of items purchased and sold separately from the related costs. 5.e) This is true. The U.S. Internal Revenue Service only permits LIFO for tax reporting if it is also used for financial reporting.

33) a) T b) F c) T d) T e) F 1.a) This is true. Product B's cost is $24 × 300 units = $7,200. 2.b) This is false. If Warren selects to apply the lower-of-cost-ormarket rule to each individual inventory item, Product A would be listed at the lower cost amount of $20. 3.c) This is true. The total market value of Warren's inventory is $13,000 (or 200 units of A × $25 per unit + 300 units of B × $22 per unit + 100 units of C × $14 per unit); since the cost is $12,800, no writedown of inventory would be needed. However, if the rule were applied using the individual method, write-downs of Product B from $24 to $22 and of Product C from $16 to $14 would be needed. 4.d) This is true. If Warren applies the rule to each individual inventory item, inventory in the amount of $12,000 (or 200 units of A × $20 per unit + 300 units of B × $22 per unit + 100 units of C × $14 per unit) would be shown on the balance sheet. 5.e) This is false. Market is lower than cost for Product C; so, the lower of cost or market =100 units × $14 per unit = $1,400.

34) a) T b) T c) F d) F e) F 1.a) This is true. Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory of $120,000 + Purchases of $420,000 = $540,000. 2.b) This is true. If average gross margin percentage is 30%, cost of goods sold percentage is 100% − 30%, or 70%. 3.c) This is false. Estimated cost of goods sold = Sales of $690,000 × Gross margin percentage of 70% = $483,000. 4.d) This is false. Estimated ending inventory = Beginning inventory of $120,000 + Purchases of $420,000 − Estimated cost of goods sold of $483,000 = $57,000. 5.e) This is false. Sales of $690,000 − Estimated cost of goods sold of $483,000 = $207,000. 35) a) F b) F c) T d) F e) T 1.a) This is false. Overstating ending inventory at the end of Year 1 will understate cost of goods sold by $28,000. 2.b) This is false. Overstating ending inventory for Year 1 by $28,000 also overstates net income for Year 1 by $28,000, not $14,000. 3.c) This is true. Overstating ending inventory for Year 1 by $28,000 also overstates retained earnings at the end of Year 1 by $28,000. 4.d) This is false. Overstating ending inventory for Year 1 will also result in overstating beginning inventory for Year 2. 5.e) This is true. By the end of Year 2, the inventory error for Year 1 will have been reversed and retained earnings will be correctly stated.

36) a) T b) F c) F d) T e) T 1.a) This is true. Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold of $320,000 ÷ Inventory of $64,000 = 5.0. 2.b) This is false. Average number of days to sell inventory = 365 days ÷ Inventory turnover of 5.0 = 73 days. 3.c) This is false. Inventory turnover is calculated by dividing cost of goods sold by inventory. Furthermore, increasing prices could cause inventory to sell more slowly. 4.d) This is true. Gross margin = Sales of $600,000 − Cost of goods sold of $320,000 = $280,000; Gross margin percentage = Gross margin of $280,000 ÷ Sales of $600,000 = 46.7%. 5.e) This is true. With an inventory turnover ratio of 5.0, Bell Company turns its inventory more quickly than the competitor, and thus is likely to be more profitable than the competitor. 37) Cost of Goods Sold: a) (1) $13,975 a) (2) $15,600 a) (3) $14,735 Ending Inventory: b) (1) $9,600 b) (2) $7,975 b) (3) $8,841 a) (1) and (2) Cost of goods sold using FIFO and LIFO: FIFO

The first-in, first-out (FIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. The last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. The weighted-average method first determines the average cost per unit as the total cost of the inventory available divided by the total number of units available, and then multiplies that result by the number of units.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 05_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) TRUE Managers can choose which costs to assign to cost of goods sold if specific identification is used. 2) TRUE It is not cost effective for companies to track the specific costs of lowpriced items. 3) TRUE LIFO assigns the cost of the items purchased last to cost of goods sold, so the cost of the goods purchased first is assigned to ending inventory. 4) FALSE Companies do not need to select a cost flow method that matches the physical flow of goods. 5) TRUE Most companies rotate their inventory so as to sell the oldest inventory first. However, the company is free to choose other cost flow methods. 6) FALSE The selection of cost flow method impacts cost of goods sold, which impacts gross margin. 7) FALSE FIFO will report lower cost of goods sold (older, lower prices), and higher ending inventory (newer, higher prices). 8) TRUE During a period of rising inventory prices, cost of goods sold will include the higher, most recent prices when LIFO is used. 9) TRUE
Version 1
38
During a period of declining prices, cost of goods sold will include the lower, most recent prices when LIFO is used, resulting in higher gross margin. 10) FALSE The selection of cost flow method allocates product costs between cost of goods sold and ending, not beginning, inventory. 11) TRUE During a period of rising inventory prices, ending inventory will include the lower, older prices when using last-in, first-out. 12) TRUE The different cost flow methods—FIFO, LIFO, weighted average, and specific identification—are examples of alternative accounting procedures allowed by GAAP. 13) TRUE In a period of rising inventory prices, FIFO will produce the lowest cost of goods sold, resulting in the highest net income and the highest income tax expense. 14) FALSE The requirement to match cost flow for income tax reporting and financial reporting applies only to the LIFO inventory cost flow method. 15) TRUE A change in inventory cost flow method must be justified by reasons other than earnings management. 16) TRUE The LIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. Units in ending inventory = Units available for sale of (360 + 310 + 670) − Units sold of 1,000 = 340 Ending inventory = 340 units × January 1 unit cost of $15 = $5,100 17) TRUE Version 1

The LIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. Units in ending inventory = Units available for sale of (200 + 150 + 350) − Units sold of 520 = 180 Ending inventory = 180 units × January 1 unit cost of $7.00 = $1,260 18) FALSE The FIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold = (220 units × $8 per unit) + (170 × $10 per unit) + (190 × $10 per unit) = $5,360 19) FALSE The FIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold = (200 units × $7.00 per unit) + (150 × $8.00 per unit) + (170 × $9.00 per unit) = $4,130 20) FALSE Average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sale of [(380 × $16) + (330 × $26) + (710 × $18)] ÷ Units available for sale of 1,420 = $19.32 per unit 21) FALSE Average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sale of [(200 × $7.00) + (150 × $8.00) + (350 × $9.00)] ÷ Units available for sale of 700 = $8.21 per unit 22) TRUE Average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sale of [(12 × $18) + (6 × $19.50)] ÷ Units available for sale of 18 = $18.50 per unit Selling price of $40 − Cost of goods sold of $18.50 = $21.50 23) FALSE
Version 1

Average cost per unit = Cost of goods available for sale of [(2 × $36) + (1 × $40)] ÷ Units available for sale of 3 = $37.33 per unit Selling price of $60 − Cost of goods sold of $37.33 = $22.67 24) TRUE The IRS requires that companies using LIFO for income tax purposes must also use LIFO for financial reporting. 25) TRUE This is a difference between IFRS and U.S. GAAP. 26) FALSE The lower-of-cost-or-market rule must be applied regardless of the inventory cost flow method in use. 27) TRUE If the replacement cost is greater than the historical cost, no adjustment is made. Adjustments are only made if the replacement cost is lower than the historical cost. 28) FALSE The loss resulting from application of the lower-of-cost-or-market rule is only included in cost of goods sold if the amount is immaterial. The loss should be reported as an operating expense if it is material. 29) TRUE Overstating inventory will understate cost of goods sold, resulting in higher net income and higher retained earnings in the current year. 30) FALSE The gross margin method can be used to anticipate what the ending inventory balance should be, and when compared with physical ending inventory, can detect fraud. 31) TRUE A discount merchandiser operates at lower margin and relies on higher inventory turnover to make a profit. 32) TRUE Version 1

Because the amounts of ending inventory and cost of goods sold are affected by the cost flow method (FIFO, LIFO, etc.) a company uses, the gross margin and inventory turnover ratios are also affected by the cost flow method used. 33) C In a period of declining prices, LIFO will result in the lowest cost of goods sold (most recent purchases) and the highest ending inventory (earliest purchases). 34) A When prices are rising, LIFO will result in the highest cost of goods sold (most recent purchases), and therefore will result in the lowest income tax expense. Income tax expense is the only cash flow affected by the choice of an inventory cost flow method. 35) C LIFO will produce cost of goods sold that is based on the most recent purchases. 36) A If Blake uses the weighted-average inventory cost flow method, ending inventory will be $27.50. If the company uses FIFO, ending inventory will be $28.00. 37) A If Blake uses the weighted-average inventory cost flow method, ending inventory will be $17.00. If the company uses FIFO, ending inventory will be $18.00. 38) C When prices are falling, LIFO will produce a low cost of goods sold (most recent purchases) and a high ending inventory (earliest purchases), compared to FIFO, which will produce a high cost of goods sold (earliest purchases) and low ending inventory (most recent purchases). 39) B Version 1

When prices are rising, FIFO will produce the lowest cost of goods sold compared with other methods because it is based on the earliest, lowest priced, purchases. 40) D Regardless of the inventory cost flow method, Barker reported outflow of $38.00 for the purchases of the two items and inflow of $30.00 for the sale of one item. 41) C When prices are declining, FIFO will produce the highest cost of goods sold (earliest purchases) compared with LIFO which will be based on more recent, lower priced purchases. Weighted average will be somewhere in between. 42) D In an inflationary environment, prices are rising. LIFO will produce the lowest ending inventory (earliest purchases) compared with FIFO. 43) B Using weighted average, cost of goods sold is calculated by multiplying the average cost per unit by the number of units sold. If Hoover uses weighted-average, the average cost per unit is $40.75. Therefore, gross margin will be $24.25 (or Sales of $65 − Cost of goods sold of $40.75). The FIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. If Hoover uses FIFO, cost of goods sold will be $38.50 (earliest purchase) rather than $43.00. The LIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. If Hoover uses LIFO, cost of goods sold will be $43.00 (most recent purchase) and ending inventory will be $38.50 rather than $43.00. 44) B

Using weighted average, cost of goods sold is calculated by multiplying the average cost per unit by the number of units sold. If Hoover uses weighted-average, the average cost per unit is $34.00. Therefore, gross margin will be $28.00 (or Sales of $62.00 − Cost of goods sold of $34.00). The FIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. If Hoover uses FIFO, cost of goods sold will be $33.00 (earliest purchase) rather than $35.00. The LIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased last be charged to cost of goods sold. If Hoover uses LIFO, cost of goods sold will be $35.00 (most recent purchase) and ending inventory will be $33.00 rather than $35.00. 45) B The FIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold. Cost of goods sold = (520 × $8) + (330 × $10) = $7,460 46) D The FIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold.

It increases expenses (cost of goods sold), which decreases both gross margin and net income. Since it is immaterial, the amount of the write down can be included in cost of goods sold. If it were material, the loss would be reported as an operating expense (not as cost of goods sold). 87) E Regardless of whether a company uses FIFO, LIFO, weighted average, or specific identification, once the cost of the ending inventory has been determined, GAAP require that the cost be compared with the end of the period market value and that the inventory be reported at lower of cost or market. 88) B Writing down the inventory reduces the amount of total assets and increases expenses which decreases net income and stockholders’ equity. Therefore, the only correct answer is “decrease net income on the income statement”. 89) D Writing down inventory decreases the amount of assets (Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) on the balance sheet. On the income statement, it increases the amount of expenses which decreases net income. Liabilities and cash flow are not affected. 90) A

91) D Overstating inventory at the end of Year 1, but correctly reporting inventory at the end of Year 2 will cause cost of goods sold to be understated for Year 1 and overstated for Year 2. However, by the end of Year 2, retained earnings will be correctly stated. 92) A Overstating inventory at the end of Year 1, but correctly reporting inventory at the end of Year 2, will cause cost of goods sold to be understated for Year 1 and overstated for Year 2. This error will not impact the amount of inventory reported at the end of Year 2. 93) C Because the inventory and cost of goods sold accounts are so significant, they are attractive targets for concealing fraud. 94) A Overstating inventory at the end of Year 1 will cause cost of goods sold to be understated for Year 1, which causes net income to be overstated. Since the Year 1 ending inventory becomes the Year 2 beginning inventory, cost of goods sold will be overstated for Year 2, which will cause net income to be understated. The overstatement of Year 1 net income will be offset by the understatement of Year 2 net income and retained earnings will be correctly stated at the end of Year 2. 95) B

An overstatement of inventory at the end of Year 1 overstates assets (Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) at the end of Year 1. The overstatement also understates expenses (cost of goods sold), which overstates the amount of net income reported for Year 1. 96) D Understating inventory at the end of Year 1 understates assets (Inventory) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It also overstates the cost of goods sold, which understates gross margin and net income for Year 1. 97) B In a perpetual inventory system, the balance in the inventory account should provide the best estimate of inventory on hand. The gross margin method should only be used if a book inventory and a physical inventory are unavailable. 98) B The gross margin method is used when ending inventory amount at the end of the current period is not available. The beginning inventory balance, sales, and purchases for the current period are required to use this method to estimate the amount of inventory on hand. 99) C Auditors and financial analysts have developed tools to test for financial statement manipulation. The gross margin method of estimating the ending inventory balance is such a tool. 100) D

When applying the gross margin method, the estimated cost of the ending inventory is computed as follows: (1) Calculate the expected gross margin ratio using financial statement data from prior periods. (2) Multiply the expected gross margin ratio by the current period’s sales. (3) Subtract the estimated gross margin from sales to estimate the amount of cost of goods sold. (4) Subtract the estimated cost of goods sold from the amount of goods available for sale to estimate the amount of ending inventory. 101) A Estimated gross margin = Sales × Estimated gross margin percentage Estimated gross margin = $75,000 × 0.40 = $30,000 Estimated cost of goods sold = Sales − Estimated gross margin Estimated cost of goods sold = $75,000 − $30,000 = $45,000 Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Purchases Cost of goods available for sale = $7,500 + $52,500 = $60,000 Ending inventory = Estimated cost of goods available for sale − Estimated cost of goods sold Ending inventory = $60,000 − $45,000 = $15,000 102) B Estimated gross margin = Sales × Estimated gross margin percentage Estimated gross margin = $25,000 × 0.40 = $10,000 Estimated cost of goods sold = Sales − Estimated gross margin Estimated cost of goods sold = $25,000 − $10,000 = $15,000 Cost of goods available for sale = Beginning inventory + Purchases Cost of goods available for sale = $2,500 + $17,500 = $20,000 Ending inventory = Estimated cost of goods available for sale − Estimated cost of goods sold Ending inventory = $20,000 − $15,000 = $5,000 103) A

The most profitable combination would be to carry high margin inventory that turns over rapidly (meaning a high inventory turnover). To be competitive, however, companies must often concentrate on one or the other of the elements. Different companies use different business strategies to achieve their objectives. 118) A The FIFO cost flow method requires that the cost of the items purchased first be assigned to cost of goods sold.

A certified check is guaranteed for payment by a bank. A certified check is deducted from the customer's account when the bank certifies that the check is good. Certified checks, therefore, have been subtracted by the bank in determining the unadjusted bank balance, whether they have cleared the bank or remain outstanding as of the date of the bank statement. Thus, a certified check that is still outstanding does not affect any of the elements of the financial statements. 8) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

This system does not work if many high-level employees are willing to participate in the inappropriate behavior. Even the best systems of internal controls still rely on people.

15) Any three of the five components listed below should be included in the answer: 1.Control Environment — The integrity and ethical values of the company, including its code of conduct, involvement of the board of directors, and other actions that set the tone of the organization. 2.Risk Assessment — Management's process of identifying potential risks that could result in misstated financial statements and developing actions to address those risks. 3.Control Activities — These are the activities usually thought of as "the internal controls." They include such things as segregation of duties, account reconciliations, and information processing controls designed to safeguard assets and enable an organization to prepare reliable financial statements in a timely manner. 4.Information and Communication — The internal and external reporting process, including an assessment of the technology environment. 5.Monitoring — Assessing the quality of a company's internal control over time and taking actions as necessary to ensure it continues to address the risks of the organization. 16) Internal control is the process designed to ensure reliable financial reporting, effective and efficient operations, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations. Safeguarding assets against theft and unauthorized use, acquisition, or disposal is also part of internal control. Accounting controls are composed of procedures designed to safeguard the assets and ensure that the accounting records contain reliable information. Administrative controls are designed to evaluate performance and the degree of compliance with company policies and public laws.

20) Cash Cash has universal value. A relatively small suitcase filled with highdenomination currency can represent significant value. Furthermore, the rightful owner of currency is difficult to prove. In most cases, possession constitutes ownership. As a result, cash is highly susceptible to theft and must be carefully protected. Cash is most susceptible to embezzlement when it is received or disbursed. 21) A bank statement debit memo describes a transaction that reduces the customer's account balance, for example bank service charges. 22) Companies frequently leave deposits in the bank's night depository or make them on the day following the receipt of cash. Such deposits are called deposits in transit. Because these deposits have been recorded in the depositor's accounting records but have not yet been added to the depositor's account by the bank, they must be added to the unadjusted bank balance. 23) NSF checks are checks that a company obtains from its customers and deposits in its checking account. However, when the checks are submitted to the customers' banks for payment, the banks refuse payment because there is insufficient money in the customers' account. The amount of an NSF check is deducted from the unadjusted book balance on a bank reconciliation. The company is advised of NSF checks through debit memos that appear on the bank statement. The depositor deducts the amounts of the NSF checks from the unadjusted book balance in the process of determining the true cash balance.
Version 1

24) Outstanding checks must be subtracted from the unadjusted bank balance to determine the true cash balance. Outstanding checks are disbursements that have been properly recorded as cash deductions on the depositor's books. However, the bank has not deducted the amounts from the depositor's bank account because the checks have not yet been presented by the payee to the bank for payment; that is, the checks have not cleared the bank. Outstanding checks must be subtracted from the unadjusted bank balance to determine the true cash balance. 25) Asset exchange transaction Establishing a petty cash fund increases one asset (petty cash) and decreases another asset (cash). Thus, it is an asset exchange transaction. 26) Companies frequently establish a petty cash fund to maintain effective control over small cash disbursements. Although businesses use checks for most disbursements, they often pay for small items such as postage, delivery charges, taxi fares, employees' supper money, and so on with currency. They frequently establish a petty cash fund to maintain effective control over these small cash disbursements. 27) A petty cash fund is usually maintained on an imprest basis, which means that the money disbursed is periodically replenished. The effects on the financial statements are recorded only when the petty cash fund is replenished or increased.

28) The primary roles of an independent auditor (CPA) are: ● Conducts a financial audit (a detailed examination of a company's financial statements and underlying accounting records). ● Assumes both legal and professional responsibilities to the public, as well as to the company paying the auditor. ● Determines if financial statements are materially correct rather than absolutely correct. ● Presents conclusions in an audit report that includes an opinion as to whether the statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. In rare cases, the auditor issues a disclaimer. ● Maintains professional confidentiality of client records. 29) The concept of materiality is very subjective. An error, or other reporting problem, is material if knowing about it would influence the decisions of an average prudent investor. 30) A financial audit is conducted by an independent auditor who must be a CPA who is licensed by a state government to provide services to the public.

31) ● An unqualified opinion is the most favorable opinion auditors can express. It means the auditor believes the financial statements are in compliance with GAAP without material qualification, reservation, or exception. ● The most negative report an auditor can issue is an adverse opinion. An adverse opinion means that one or more departures from GAAP are so material the financial statements do not present a fair picture of the company's status. A qualified opinion falls between an unqualified and an adverse opinion. A qualified opinion means that for the most part, the company's financial statements are in compliance with GAAP, but the auditors have reservations about something in the statements. 32) If an auditor is unable to perform the audit procedures necessary to determine whether the statements are prepared in accordance with GAAP, the auditor cannot issue an opinion on the financial statements. Instead, the auditor issues a disclaimer of opinion. A disclaimer is neither negative nor positive. It simply means that the auditor is unable to obtain enough information to confirm compliance with GAAP. 33) a) T b) T c) F d) F e) F 1.a) This is true.

41) A merchandising company needs good internal controls related to its inventory for several reasons, such as inventory may be the largest asset on the balance sheet in dollar amount and thus a tempting target for theft; some inventory is small in size and valuable and thus subject to theft or shoplifting; and Cost of Goods Sold may be the largest expense on the income statement. As a result, theft or fraud related to inventory can have a significant impact on the company's reported performance. Most of the key features of internal control systems apply to inventory. For example: 1.1) Segregation of duties — Employees who sell inventory should not count it when a physical count of the inventory is needed. Also, employees who handle inventory should not make journal entries related to inventory. 2.2) Quality of employees — A company should hire motivated employees with good educational background and work experience. The company should also provide training to employees so that they understand policies related to inventory. 3.3) Authority and responsibility — Employees who sell inventory (or who handle inventory in a warehouse) should understand their responsibility and the limits of their authority. 4.4) Physical controls — Physical controls (such as locked storerooms) should be used as appropriate to protect the company's inventory.

42) Whenever possible, the functions of authorization, recording, and custody of assets should be performed by separate individuals. This situation is risky because there is not sufficient segregation of duties. Kristen could steal merchandise or cash or give items to her family or friends and cover it up by making entries into the accounting system. The situation as described would allow Kristen to engage in systematic, long-term theft from the business, reducing its profitability. 43) The likelihood of fraud or theft is reduced if employees must work together to accomplish it. Clear segregation of duties is frequently used as a deterrent to corruption. When duties are segregated, the work of one employee can act as a check on the work of another employee. Whenever possible, the functions of authorization, recording, and custody of assets should be performed by separate individuals. However, no internal control system is foolproof. Internal controls can be circumvented by collusion among employees. That is, two or more employees working together can hide embezzlement by covering for each other. 44) Unadjusted bank balance Add: Deposits in transit Less: Outstanding checks True cash balance

Answer Key Test name: Chap 06_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) FALSE No system can prevent all fraud. However, a good system of internal controls minimizes illegal or unethical activities by reducing temptation and increasing the likelihood of early detection. 2) TRUE Administrative controls are designed to evaluate performance and the degree of compliance with company policies and public laws. 3) TRUE Segregation of duties helps to prevent theft by having the work of one employee act as a check of the work of another employee. 4) FALSE When duties are segregated, the work of one employee can act as a check on the work of another employee. 5) TRUE Collusion means that two or more employees work together to hide embezzlement by covering for each other. No system can prevent all fraud. However, a good system of internal controls minimizes illegal or unethical activities by reducing temptation and increasing the likelihood of early detection. 6) TRUE If a savings account imposes a substantial penalty for early withdrawal, it should be classified as an investment. 7) TRUE
Version 1
25
For financial reporting purposes, cash generally includes currency and other items that are payable on demand, such as checks, money orders, bank drafts, and certain savings accounts. Savings accounts that impose substantial penalties for early withdrawal should be classified as investments rather than cash. 8) FALSE The duties of approving disbursements, signing checks, and recording transactions should be segregated. By separating these duties, the check signer reviews the documentation provided by the approving individual before signing the check. Likewise, the recording clerk reviews the work of both the approving person and the check signer when the disbursement is recorded in the accounting records. 9) FALSE A bank statement debit memo describes a transaction that reduces the customer’s account balance. 10) FALSE A bank reconciliation normally begins with the cash balance reported by the bank, which is called the unadjusted bank balance. The adjustments necessary to determine the amount of cash that the depositor actually owns as of the date of the bank statement are then added to and subtracted from the unadjusted bank balance. The final total is the true cash balance. 11) TRUE These are typical adjustments to the bank balance. 12) FALSE
Version 1
26
Typical adjustments to the book balance on a bank reconciliation include account receivable collection, interest earned, service charges, and NSF checks. A certified check is deducted from the customer’s account when the bank certifies that the check is good. Certified checks, therefore, have been deducted by the bank in determining the unadjusted bank balance, whether they have cleared the bank or remain outstanding as of the date of the bank statement. Thus, certified checks do not affect the unadjusted book or bank balance on the bank reconciliation. 13) TRUE Control activities, the activities usually thought of as “the internal controls,” include such things as account reconciliations. 14) TRUE The adjustments bring the book balance in agreement with the true cash balance. 15) FALSE A bank reconciliation normally begins with the cash balance reported by the bank, which is called the unadjusted bank balance. The adjustments necessary to determine the amount of cash that the depositor actually owns as of the date of the bank statement are then added to and subtracted from the unadjusted bank balance. The final total is the true cash balance. The true cash balance is independently reached a second time by making adjustments to the unadjusted book balance. 16) TRUE The company is advised of NSF checks through debit memos that appear on the bank statement. 17) TRUE A shortage of cash would be treated as an expense. An overage of cash represents revenue. 18) FALSE
Version 1
27
Companies frequently establish a petty cash fund to maintain effective control over small cash disbursements. 19) TRUE Establishing a petty cash fund increases one asset, petty cash, and decreases another asset, cash. 20) TRUE There is no effect on the financial statements when petty cash funds are disbursed. The effects on the financial statements are recorded only when the petty cash fund is replenished. 21) TRUE A petty cash fund should be controlled by one employee, called the petty cash custodian. 22) TRUE Most audits result in unqualified opinions because companies correct any material reporting deficiencies the auditors find before the financial statements are released. 23) FALSE An error is material if knowing about it would influence the opinion of the average prudent investor. 24) TRUE The SEC is authorized to establish and enforce the accounting rules for public companies. 25) FALSE Financial audits are not directed toward the discovery of fraud. Auditors are, however, responsible for providing reasonable assurance that statements are free from material misstatements, whether caused by errors or fraud. 26) A Administrative controls are designed to evaluate performance and the degree of compliance with company policies and public laws. Version 1
28
27) B Strong internal controls provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that the objectives of a company will be accomplished. 28) B Accounting controls are composed of procedures designed to safeguard company assets and ensure the accounting records contain reliable information. Objectives 2 and 3 relate to accounting controls. On the other hand, administrative controls are composed of procedures designed to safeguard the assets and ensure that the accounting records contain reliable information. Objectives 1 and 4 relate to administrative controls. 29) D While customer service comment cards are helpful in monitoring company performance, they are not one of the nine features of an internal control system. 30) C A fidelity bond provides insurance that protects a company from losses caused by employee dishonesty. 31) D While the mechanics of internal control systems vary from company to company, the more prevalent features include the following: segregation of duties, quality of employees, bonded employees, required absence, a procedures manual, authority and responsibility, prenumbered documents, physical control, and performance evaluations. Internal controls do not relate to effective marketing plans. 32) B Internal controls can be circumvented by collusion among employees. 33) A
Version 1
29
The likelihood of fraud or theft is reduced if employees must work together to accomplish it. Clear segregation of duties is frequently used as a deterrent to corruption. When duties are segregated, the work of one employee can act as a check on the work of another employee. 34) C Expected change in cash = Cash sales of $1,031.50 Actual change in cash = Ending cash on hand of $1,150.25 − Beginning cash on hand of $125.00 = $1,025.25 Shortage = Expected change in cash (actual cash sales) of $1,031.50 − Actual change in cash of $1,025.25 = $6.25 When the company records the day’s sales and the shortage, it will increase assets (cash) by $1,025.25 and increase stockholders’ equity (retained earnings) by the same amount. It will increase revenue by the cash sales of $1,031.50 and increases expenses by the amount of the shortage of $6.25; resulting in an increase to net income of $1,025.25. A cash inflow for operating activities of $1,025.25 will be reported on the statement of cash flows. 35) D This describes an internal control procedure that would be implemented with regards to cash payments rather than cash receipts. 36) D All of these are controls that help safeguard a company’s assets, including cash. 37) A The fact that cash is the common unit of measurement is not a motive for embezzlement. 38) C A cash register tape records the total cash receipts for the day. 39) D Version 1
30
All of the procedures relate to controlling cash. 40) A Bank service charges (item 2) and non-sufficient-funds (NSF) checks (item 4) are subtracted from the unadjusted book balance to determine the true cash balance. Outstanding checks (item 1) are subtracted from and deposits in transit (item 3) are added to the unadjusted bank balance to determine the true cash balance. Because certified checks (item 5) are deducted both from bank and depositor records immediately, they do not cause differences between the depositor and bank balances and are not listed on the bank reconciliation. A credit memo reflecting interest earned (item 6) would be added to the unadjusted book balance to determine the true cash balance. 41) D Deposits in transit (item 3) are added to the unadjusted bank balance to determine the true cash balance. Bank service charges (item 2) and NSF checks (item 4) are subtracted from the unadjusted book balance to determine the true cash balance. Outstanding checks (item 1) are subtracted from the unadjusted bank balance to determine the true cash balance. Because certified checks (item 5) are deducted both from bank and depositor records immediately, they do not cause differences between the depositor and bank balances and are not listed on the bank reconciliation.

True cash balance = Unadjusted bank balance of $35,851 + Deposits in transit of $4,530 − Outstanding checks of $11,680 = $28,701 Alternatively: True cash balance = Unadjusted book balance of $29,750 − Service charge of $74 + Interest revenue of $295 − NSF check of $1,270 = $28,701. 44) A True cash balance = Unadjusted bank balance of $34,351 + Deposits in transit of $4,240 − Outstanding checks of $10,935 = $27,656 Alternatively: True cash balance = Unadjusted book balance of $28,250 − Service charge of $39 + Interest revenue of $95 − NSF check of $650 = $27,656 45) B True cash balance = Unadjusted book balance of $10,500 − Service charge of $40 − NSF check of $225 = $10,235 46) B True cash balance = Unadjusted book balance of $10,400 − Service charge of $20 − NSF check of $200 = $10,180 47) A Providing written copies of receipts to customers is an internal control procedure relating to cash receipts rather than cash payments. 48) A Recording the receipt of the receivable, less the bank's collection fee, increases assets (Cash) by $625 and decreases assets (Accounts Receivable) by $650; thus, total assets decrease by $25. Stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) decreases by the same amount. The transaction increases expenses by $25, which decreases net income. The net cash received of $625 is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities. Version 1

49) B Here, advertising expense was understated by $180, which is the difference between the actual amount of the check of $421 and the amount recorded of $241, and cash was overstated by the same amount. Correcting this error will decrease assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It will increase expenses, which decreases net income. The $180 decrease to cash is reported on the statement of cash flows as a cash outflow from operating activities. 50) C Here, cash was understated by $90, which is the difference between the actual amount of the receipt of $990 and the amount recorded of $900, and accounts receivable was overstated by the same amount. Correcting this error will increase assets (cash) and decrease assets (accounts receivable); thus, total assets do not change. The $90 increase to cash is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities. 51) D The adjustment to record the service charge will decrease assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses, which decreases net income. It is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 52) B A bank statement debit memo describes a transaction that reduces the customer's account balance, for example due to bank service charges. 53) A The NSF check was unknown to the company prior to receiving the bank statement, so it should be subtracted from the unadjusted book balance to arrive at the true cash balance. 54) D
Version 1

A certified check is guaranteed for payment by a bank. Whereas a regular check is deducted from the customer's account when it is presented for payment, a certified check is deducted from the customer's account when the bank certifies that the check is good. Certified checks, therefore, have been deducted by the bank in determining the unadjusted bank balance, whether they have cleared the bank or remain outstanding as of the date of the bank statement. Thus, a certified check has already been recorded by both the bank and the company and does not appear on a bank reconciliation. 55) D Because deposits in transit have been recorded in the depositor’s accounting records but have not yet been added to the depositor’s account by the bank, they must be added to the unadjusted bank balance. 56) A Outstanding checks are disbursements that have been properly recorded as cash deductions on the depositor’s books. However, the bank has not deducted the amounts from the depositor’s bank account because the checks have not yet been presented by the payee to the bank for payment; that is, the checks have not cleared the bank. 57) D Recording the NSF check increases one asset (Accounts Receivable) and decreases another asset (Cash). This results in no overall effect on total assets. There is no effect on stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) since net income is not affected. 58) B True cash balance = Unadjusted book balance of $15,200 − Service charge of $130 + Accounts Receivable Collection of $1,570 + Interest revenue of $220 = $16,860 59) D

This results in no overall effect on total assets. There is no effect on stockholders’ equity or net income. Since the company must reduce its Cash account, this transaction is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 68) A True cash balance = Unadjusted bank balance of $13,250 + Deposits in transit of $5,415 − Outstanding checks of $9,710 + Error correction of $780 = $9,735 69) B True cash balance = Unadjusted bank balance of $7,800 + Deposits in transit of $3,150 − Outstanding checks of $6,200 + Error correction of $550 = $5,300 70) C Establishing a petty cash fund increases one asset (Petty Cash) and decreases another asset (Cash). This asset exchange transaction has no overall effect on total assets. There is no effect on stockholders’ equity or net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 71) D

Cash overages are treated as revenue. If overages do not occur frequently and are of insignificant amounts, companies are likely to include them in miscellaneous revenue. 72) A Replenishing a petty cash fund decreases the Cash account and increases the Petty Cash account. It is an asset exchange transaction. 73) D The fund is established for a specified dollar amount and is controlled by the petty cash custodian. The custodian normally keeps the currency under lock and key (which are physical controls). When money is disbursed from the petty cash fund, the custodian completes a petty cash voucher. 74) D When petty cash is used to pay an expense, there is no effect on the financial statements. The expense will be recorded when the petty cash account is replenished. 75) D Since the amount of petty cash on hand is $105, it will take $395 to replenish the petty cash fund to its imprest balance of $500. Because the miscellaneous expenses paid by the fund totaled $400, there is a cash overage of $5. (Note that an overage of cash represents revenue.) Replenishing the fund will cause total assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) to decrease by $395. Revenues will increase by $5 and expenses will increase by $400, resulting in a decrease in net income of $395. The replenishment is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 76) D
Version 1
37
Since the amount of petty cash on hand is $85, it will take $165 to replenish the petty cash fund to its imprest balance of $250. Because the miscellaneous expenses paid by the fund totaled $160, there is a cash shortage of $5 (Note that a cash shortage is an expense). Recording the petty cash fund will cause total assets (cash) and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings) to decrease by $165. Expenses will increase by $5 and net income will decrease by that same amount. 77) B Since the amount of petty cash on hand is $215, it will take $185 to replenish the petty cash fund to its imprest balance of $400. Because the miscellaneous expenses paid by the fund totaled $180, there is a cash shortage of $5 (Note that a cash shortage is an expense). Replenishing the petty cash fund will cause total assets (Cash) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) to decrease by $185. Expenses will increase by $185 ($5 due to the shortage). 78) B The primary roles of an independent auditor CPA are summarized below: 1.Conducts a financial audit (a detailed examination of a company’s financial statements and underlying accounting records). 2.Assumes both legal and professional responsibilities to the public, as well as to the company paying the auditor. 3.Determines if financial statements are materially correct rather than absolutely correct. 4.Presents conclusions in an audit report that includes an opinion as to whether the statements are prepared in conformity with GAAP. In rare cases, the auditor issues a disclaimer. 5.Maintains professional confidentiality of client records. 79) C Version 1
38
The SEC is a government agency authorized to establish and enforce the accounting rules for public companies. 80) B An unqualified opinion is the most favorable opinion auditors can express. It means the auditor believes the financial statements are in compliance with GAAP without material qualification, reservation, or exception. 81) C The concept of materiality is very subjective. An error, or other reporting problem, is material if knowing about it would influence the decisions of an average prudent investor. Thus, materiality is different for each company and $5,000 is not necessarily a threshold for materiality. 82) C An adverse opinion indicates that the independent auditor found one or more material departures from GAAP and the departures from GAAP are so material that the financial statements do not present a fair picture of the company’s status. 83) C Auditors do not guarantee that financial statements are absolutely correct—only that they are materially correct. Financial audits are not directed toward the discovery of fraud. Auditors are, however, responsible for providing reasonable assurance that financial statements are free from material misstatements, whether caused by errors or fraud. The confidentiality rules in the code of ethics for CPAs prohibit auditors from voluntarily disclosing information they have acquired as a result of their accountant–client relationships. However, accountants may be required to testify in a court of law.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 07_2e_Problem Materials 1) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D N/A D N/A I D NA
The estimated amount of uncollectible accounts expense is recognized in a year-end adjusting entry. The adjusting entry reduces assets (Net Realizable Value of Receivables), stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings), and net income. The statement of cash flows is not affected. The accounts receivable account is not reduced directly because none of the receivables have actually been determined to be uncollectible. The decrease in the net realizable value of receivables represents an estimate of what will be uncollectible at some time in the future. To distinguish the actual balance in accounts receivable from the Net Realizable Value, accountants use a contra asset account called Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. It’s called a contra account because it is subtracted from the balance in the Accounts Receivable account to determine the Net Realizable Value of Receivables that is shown on the balance sheet (i.e. Net Realizable Value = Accounts Receivable – Allowance for Doubtful Accounts). 2) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income

This is an asset exchange transaction. Writing off an uncollectible account using the allowance method decreases assets (accounts receivable) and increases assets (by decreasing the allowance for uncollectible accounts, a contra asset account).

Collecting cash from accounts receivable is an asset exchange transaction. It increases the asset account, Cash, and decreases the asset account, Accounts Receivable. Thus, there is no net effect on total assets and no effect on total liabilities and stockholders’ equity. There is an inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 5) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income I/D NA NA NA NA NA NA
This is an asset exchange transaction. The reinstatement of the receivable increases assets (accounts receivable) and decreases assets (by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account). Since one asset increases and another asset decreases by the same amount, there is no effect on total assets. There is no effect on the income statement.

Collecting the note on March 1, Year 2, increases total assets (Cash) by the amount collected (that is, the principal plus all interest), decreases total assets (Note Receivable) by the principal, decreases total assets (Interest Receivable) by the amount of interest that had been accrued at the end of Year 1, and increases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by the amount of interest earned in Year 2. It increases revenue (interest revenue) by the amount of interest earned in Year 2, which increases Year 2 net income. The cash received on the principal is reported as a cash inflow from investing activities, and the cash received from interest is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities. 12) Net realizable value of accounts receivable represents the amount of receivables a company estimates it will actually collect. Net realizable value = Accounts receivable− Allowance for doubtful accounts 13) $70,900 Net realizable value = Accounts receivable of $76,000− Allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,100 = $70,900 14) The Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is a contra asset account. 15) $222,500 Net realizable value = Accounts receivable of $235,000− Allowance for doubtful accounts of $12,500 = $222,500

Recognizing the $6,600 uncollectible accounts expense will also increase the allowance for doubtful accounts. 17) Aging of accounts receivable is the process of assigning a percentage of likelihood that receivables will be uncollectible based on their ages. The resulting estimate is used to establish the ending balance in Allowance for Doubtful Accounts using the percent of receivables method. 18) The direct write-off method is only acceptable if uncollectible accounts expense is immaterial to the company's financial statements. 19) Asset exchange The write-off increases assets (decrease to allowance for doubtful accounts) and decreases assets (accounts receivable). 20) Costs include the cost of clerical tasks such as running background checks and maintaining customer records as well as the cost of uncollectible accounts. Further, there is an implicit interest cost associated with credit sales because cash is not immediately available for other needs. 21) Under the direct write-off method, a company simply recognizes uncollectible accounts expense in the period in which it identifies and writes off uncollectible accounts.

22) The percent of revenue method estimates uncollectible accounts expense by taking a percentage of revenue. The percentage used to make the estimate is usually based on the company's past collection experiences. However, the percentage may be adjusted, as needed. On the other hand, the percentage of receivables method estimates the amount of uncollectible expense by basing the estimate on a percentage of accounts receivable (rather than a percentage of revenue). This approach focuses on estimating the most accurate balance for the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts that appears on the year-end balance sheet. 23) With the direct write-off method, the write-off reduces the asset (accounts receivable) and decreases stockholders' equity (retained earnings). Expenses (uncollectible accounts expense) increase, which decreases net income. The statement of cash flows is not affected by the write-off. Under the direct write-off method, a company simply recognizes uncollectible accounts expense in the period in which it identifies and writes off uncollectible accounts. 24) Kettler will recognize $1,400 in interest revenue in Year 1 and $280 in Year 2. Interest revenue = Principal × Annual interest rate × Time outstanding Year 1: Interest revenue = $24,000 × 7% × 10/12 = $1,400 Year 2: Interest revenue = $24,000 × 7% × 2/12 = $280 25) Vales would show a $6,000 outflow from investing activities on August 1, Year 1. The company would show a $6,000 inflow from investing activities and a $360 inflow from operating activities on July 30, Year 2. Cash inflow for interest revenue = Principal of $6,000 × Annual interest rate of 6% × Time outstanding of 12/12 = $360

26) The event increases assets (Accounts Receivable—credit card company) and increases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases revenue (service revenue) and increases expenses (credit card expense). Because the increase to revenue is greater than the increase to expense, it increases net income. The statement of cash flows is not affected. 27) Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales ÷ Accounts receivable Dividing a company's sales by its net accounts receivable tells how many times the net accounts receivable balance is "turned over" (converted into cash) each year. The higher the turnover, the shorter the collection period. Higher turnovers are preferable. 28) Average number of days to collect accounts receivable = 365 ÷ Accounts receivable turnover ratio This ratio measures how many days, on average, it takes a company to collect its accounts receivable. Because longer collection periods increase costs, shorter periods are obviously more desirable. 29) A major cost is the possibility of encountering uncollectible accounts. Also, there is the cost of clerical tasks such as running background checks and maintaining customer records. In addition, there is an implicit interest rate as measured by the money that could be earned if the firm had sold the goods for cash. 30) Two ratios help management, or other users, measure a company's collection period. The accounts receivable turnover ratio tells how many times the net accounts receivable balance is "turned over" (converted into cash) each year. The higher the turnover, the shorter the collection period. The average number of days to collect accounts receivable measures how many days, on average, it takes a company to collect its accounts receivable. Because longer collection periods increase costs, shorter periods are obviously more desirable. Version 1

Allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset account that decreases assets. 2.b) This is true. The net realizable value of receivables is the difference between the ending balance of accounts receivable and the ending balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts. 3.c) This is false. Recognition of uncollectible accounts expense increases allowance for doubtful accounts. 4.d) This is false. The write-off decreases both accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts, so it does not affect the net realizable value of receivables. 5.e) This is true.

Net realizable value is not computed when the direct write-off method is used. 4.d) This is true. Net realizable value is the amount reported that is net of an allowance for uncollectible amounts. 5.e) This is false.

The net realizable value of accounts receivable after the adjustment is $144,000, calculated as $150,000 accounts receivable minus $6,000 allowance for doubtful accounts. 2.b) This is true. The write-off decreased accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts equally, so it did not affect net realizable value. 3.c) This is false. The adjustment decreased assets by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account. 4.d) This is true. The write-off decreased assets (accounts receivable) and increased assets (by decreasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account), resulting in no net change in assets. 5.e) This is false.

The allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra asset, not a liability. The adjustment will decrease assets (by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts) and decrease stockholders' equity (retained earnings). 4.d) This is true. Aging of receivables is known as the balance sheet approach because it uses a percentage of one balance sheet account (accounts receivable) to estimate another balance sheet account (allowance for doubtful accounts). 5.e) This is false.

The cash flow is reported in Year 2 when cash is received from the credit card company. 4.d) This is false. The collection of cash has no net effect on total assets because the increase to assets (cash) in the amount of $2,880 [or $3,000 − ($3,000 × 4%)] is offset by a decrease in assets (accounts receivable) in the amount of $2,880. 5.e) This is true.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 07_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) TRUE 2) FALSE The best estimate of the amount of cash a company expects to collect is the net realizable value of its accounts receivable. 3) TRUE GAAP requires the use of the allowance method, which results in the reporting of net realizable value (or accounts receivable minus the allowance for doubtful accounts) unless uncollectible accounts are immaterial. 4) FALSE Net realizable value = Accounts receivable − Allowance for doubtful accounts 5) FALSE Collection of an account receivable is an asset exchange transaction. Assets (cash) increase while assets (accounts receivable) decrease. 6) TRUE The estimate is made at the end of each accounting period. 7) FALSE The allowance method of accounting for uncollectible accounts is conceptually superior to the direct write-off method, in which uncollectible accounts expense is recognized when an account is determined to be uncollectible. The direct write-off method fails to match revenues with expenses and overstates accounts receivable on the balance sheet. It is easier to use, however, and is permitted by generally accepted accounting principles if the amount of uncollectible accounts expense is immaterial. Version 1
39
8) TRUE Uncollectible accounts expense (increase to allowance for doubtful accounts) = $200,000 × 2% = $4,000 Net realizable value = Accounts receivable of $38,000 − Allowance for doubtful accounts of $4,000 = $34,000 9) FALSE Net realizable value = Accounts receivable − Allowance for doubtful accounts The net realizable value is unaffected by a write-off because both accounts receivable and allowance for doubtful accounts decrease by the same amount. 10) FALSE The write-off is an asset exchange transaction that decreases assets (accounts receivable) and increases assets (because it decreases the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account). 11) TRUE The write-off is an asset exchange transaction that decreases assets (accounts receivable) and increases assets (because it decreases the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account). 12) TRUE The account receivable is reinstated because a complete record of the customer’s payment history may be useful if the customer requests credit again at some future date. 13) FALSE Reinstating an account receivable is performed by reversing the previous write-off; doing so increases the balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. Because the Allowance account is a contra asset account, the increase in it offsets the increase in the Accounts Receivable account, and the net realizable value is unchanged. 14) TRUE Version 1
40
Recognizing uncollectible accounts expense is an asset use transaction that decreases assets by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account. 15) FALSE Net realizable value = Accounts receivable − Allowance for doubtful accounts Recognizing uncollectible accounts expense decreases net realizable value because it increases allowance for doubtful accounts. 16) TRUE The percent of receivables method focuses on estimating the most accurate balance for the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts that appears on the year-end balance sheet. 17) TRUE History suggests that an account receivable that is past its due date is less likely to be collected than one that is not yet currently due. The longer an account receivable remains past due, the less likely it is to be collected. Accordingly, the accuracy of the amount of estimated uncollectible account expense can be improved by aging of accounts receivable, which involves applying higher uncollectible percentage estimates to older receivables. 18) TRUE This is the correct procedure for using percent of receivables to estimate uncollectible accounts. 19) FALSE No year-end adjustment is made to estimate uncollectible accounts using the direct write-off method; this method does not use an allowance account. 20) TRUE
Version 1
41
The direct write-off method overstates assets (accounts receivable) because receivables are reported at face value rather than net realizable value. 21) TRUE Using the direct write-off method, a write-off decreases assets (accounts receivable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). It increases expenses (uncollectible accounts expense), which decreases net income. 22) TRUE This is an asset source transaction. Accruing interest on a note receivable increases assets (interest receivable) and increases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). It also increases interest revenue, which increases net income. 23) FALSE Only the interest earned during Year 2 of $600 (calculated below) should be recognized in Year 2. The interest earned during Year 1 of $840 (calculated below) should be accrued at the end of Year 1. Recognized in Year 1 (June through December): Interest revenue = $24,000 × 6% × 7/12 = $840 Recognized in Year 2 (January through May): Interest revenue = $24,000 × 6% × 5/12 = $600 24) TRUE Loaning cash is a cash outflow from investing activities. 25) FALSE
Version 1
42
Maintaining accounts and notes receivable is expensive. In addition to uncollectible accounts expense, companies extending credit to their customers incur considerable costs for such clerical tasks as running background checks and maintaining customer records. On the other hand, the credit card company deducts a service fee (usually between 1% and 5%) from the gross amount of the sale and pays the merchant the net balance (gross amount of sale less credit card fee) in cash. However, in return, the merchant avoids the risk of uncollectible accounts, as well as the cost of maintaining customer credit records. Many businesses find it more efficient to accept third-party credit cards instead of offering credit directly to their customers. 26) FALSE Revenue is recorded for the full amount of the sale, and the fee is recorded as a separate expense. Income increases by the amount of revenue and decreases by the amount of the credit card expense. Net income increases by the difference between the two amounts. 27) FALSE Collection of a credit card receivable is an asset exchange transaction that increases assets (cash) and decreases assets (accounts receivable). 28) FALSE Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales of $8,700,000 ÷ Accounts receivable of $801,000 = 10.9 29) TRUE There is an implicit interest cost associated with extending credit. When a customer is permitted to delay payment, the creditor forgoes the opportunity to invest the amount the customer owes. 30) FALSE The operating cycle is the average time it takes a business to convert inventory to accounts receivable plus the time it takes to convert accounts receivable into cash.

31) TRUE The length of the operating cycle is the average time it takes a business to convert inventory to accounts receivable plus the time it takes to convert accounts receivable into cash. The longer the operating cycle takes, the more it costs the company. 32) A The adjustment will decrease assets (by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account) and stockholders’ equity. It will increase expenses (uncollectible accounts expense), which decreases net income. 33) C Accounts receivable after the write-off = $23,300 − $670 = $22,630 Allowance for doubtful accounts after the write-off = $2,300 − $670 = $1,630 Net realizable value = Accounts receivable of $22,630 − Allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,630 = $21,000 34) D Accounts receivable after the write-off = $37,000 − $800 = $36,200 Allowance for doubtful accounts after the write-off = $2,800 − $800 = $2,000 Net realizable value = Accounts receivable of $36,200 − Allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,000 = $34,200 35) A The cash collected from accounts receivable in the amount of $86,500 will be reported as a cash inflow from operating activities. 36) A The cash collected from accounts receivable in the amount of $97,000 will be reported as a cash inflow from operating activities. 37) D

Recording uncollectible accounts expense decreases assets (increases allowance for doubtful accounts) and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). It increases expenses, which decreases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 54) D Hoff must first reinstate the receivable that was previously written off. The reinstatement increases assets (accounts receivable) and decreases assets (by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account), with no net effect on any of the elements of the financial statements. Next, Hoff records collection of the receivable, which increases assets (cash) and decreases assets (accounts receivable) with no net effect on total assets. 55) D Accountants use a variety of methods to estimate uncollectible accounts expense. There is no requirement that they use a particular approach. 56) A Estimated ending allowance balance = ($53,000 × 1%) + ($22,800 × 5%) + ($5,060 × 10%) + ($2,320 × 25%) + ($2,000 × 50%) = $3,756 Ending allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,756 = Beginning allowance for doubtful accounts of $2,930 + Uncollectible accounts expense (the unknown) − Write-offs of $2,340 Uncollectible accounts expense = $3,756 − $2,930 + $2,340 = $3,166 57) A Estimated ending allowance balance = ($104,000 × 1%) + ($45,000 × 5%) + ($9,920 × 10%) + ($4,440 × 25%) + ($3,800 × 50%) = $7,292 Ending allowance for doubtful accounts of $7,292 = Beginning allowance for doubtful accounts of $5,800 + Uncollectible accounts expense (the unknown) − Write-offs of $4,640 Uncollectible accounts expense = $7,292 − $5,800 + $4,640 = $6,132 58) A Version 1

An aging schedule is used to improve the estimate used in the percent of receivables method not the percent of revenue method. The aging of accounts receivable involves applying higher uncollectible percentage estimates to older receivables (not lower). The only true statement is that the aging method of estimating uncollectible accounts is based on the assumption that the longer an account receivable remains outstanding, the less likely it is to be collected. 62) A Ending allowance for doubtful accounts of $6,000 = Beginning allowance for doubtful accounts of $3,900 + Uncollectible accounts expense (the unknown) − Write-offs of $7,200 Uncollectible accounts expense = $6,000 − $3,900 + $7,200 = $9,300 63) A Ending allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,600 = Beginning allowance for doubtful accounts of $900 + Uncollectible accounts expense (the unknown) − Write-offs of $1,500 Uncollectible accounts expense = $1,600 − $900 + $1,500 = $2,200 64) A Uncollectible accounts expense = Ending balance in allowance account − unadjusted balance in allowance account Ending balance in allowance account ($400,000 × 0.01) Less:Unadjusted (current) balance in allowance account

In addition, the account is increased by an estimate of uncollectible accounts expense. 76) D The percent of receivables method to estimate uncollectible accounts expense is frequently called the balance sheet approach because it uses a percentage of one balance sheet account (accounts receivable) to estimate another balance sheet account (allowance for doubtful accounts). 77) A

Two costs of extending credit to customers are uncollectible accounts expense and clerical costs such as background checks and maintaining customer records. Additionally, there is an implicit cost associated with extending credit because the company forgoes the opportunity to invest the amount the customer owes. 78) A When a company receives payment on a previously written-off account, it must first reinstate the written-off account. The reinstatement increases assets (accounts receivable) and decreases assets (by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts, a contra asset account), with no net effect onany of the elements of the financial statements. Then, the company records collection of the receivable, which increases assets (cash) and decreases assets (accounts receivable), again with no net effect on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity. The event is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 79) B Uncollectible accounts expense = Credit sales of $112,500 × 3% = $3,375 The adjustment decreases assets (by increasing the allowance for doubtful accounts which decreases the net realizable value of the receivable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). It increases expenses (uncollectible accounts expense), which decreases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 80) A The write-off increases assets by decreasing the allowance for doubtful accounts and decreases assets (accounts receivable), resulting in no net effect on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity. 81) A
Version 1

Reestablishing the receivable increases assets (accounts receivable) and decreases assets (increase to allowance for doubtful accounts), resulting in no net effect on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity. 82) D This is an asset exchange transaction. Once the receivable is reestablished, the collection of the receivable is recorded as an increase to assets (Cash) and a decrease to assets (Accounts Receivable), resulting in no net effect on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' equity. There is no impact on the income statement. It is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities. 83) B This is an asset exchange transaction. The amount of the uncollectible account is removed from the asset accounts receivable and from the contra asset allowance for doubtful accounts. The net realizable value of receivables remains unchanged. There is no effect on total assets or stockholders’ equity. 84) C Under the direct write-off method, a company simply recognizes uncollectible accounts expense in the period in which it identifies and writes off uncollectible accounts. 85) A The direct write-off method is only allowed under GAAP if uncollectible accounts are not material. It fails to match revenues with expenses. Revenues are recognized in one period and any related uncollectible accounts expense is recognized in a later period. If the amount of uncollectible accounts is immaterial, companies accept the minor reporting inaccuracies as a reasonable trade-off for recording convenience/simplicity. The direct write-off method is not limited to banks.
Version 1
55
86) B Under the direct write-off method, the recognition of uncollectible accounts expense is an asset use transaction. The balance in the asset account, accounts receivable, decreases. The expense recognition causes net income and ultimately stockholders’ equity to decrease. Since the event did not affect cash, the statement of cash flows is not affected. 87) B The direct write-off method does not estimate the amount of uncollectible accounts expense nor does it use an allowance for uncollectible accounts. Instead, it shows the gross amount of accounts receivable instead of the net realizable value of receivables on the balance sheet. 88) D The same total amount of expense is recognized regardless of which method is employed. It is the timing of the expense recognition rather than the total amount of expense recognized that differs between the different methods. More specifically, the percent of revenue and percent of receivables methods estimate and recognize the expense before receivables are determined to be uncollectible. In contrast, the direct write-off method recognizes the expense when accounts are determined to be uncollectible. 89) B The direct write-off method fails to match revenues with expenses and overstates accounts receivable on the balance sheet. It is easier to use, however, and is permitted by generally accepted accounting principles if the amount of uncollectible accounts expense is immaterial. 90) A
Version 1
56
The direct write-off method is permitted by generally accepted accounting principles only if the amount of uncollectible accounts expense is immaterial. 91) A Both methods require writing off uncollectible accounts. The difference is the timing of when uncollectible accounts expense is recognized. 92) C Using the direct write-off method, assets (accounts receivable) and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings) decrease. 93) D Interest revenue = Principal × Annual interest rate × Time outstanding Year 1 (April through December): Interest revenue = $10,200 × 6% × 9/12 months = $459 Year 2 (January through March): Interest revenue = $10,200 × 6% × 3/12 months = $153 94) D Interest revenue = Principal × Annual interest rate × Time outstanding Year 1 (April through December): Interest revenue = $16,000 × 6% × 9/12 months = $720 Year 2 (January through March): Interest revenue = $16,000 × 6% × 3/12 months = $240 95) D The maker is the person responsible for making payment on the due date. The maker may also be called the borrower or debtor. 96) A The event is an asset exchange. One asset account (Cash) decreases and another asset (Notes Receivable) increases. Total assets are not affected. Since no interest has been earned, there is no impact on the income statement. The cash outflow is an investing activity. 97) D Version 1
57
The amount of interest earned is computed as follows: Total annual interest = $10,000 × 0.06 = $600 Monthly interest = $600 annual interest ÷ 12 months = $50 Interest earned in Year 1 = $50 per month × 8 months = $400 Eight months of interest was accrued in Year 1. The remaining 4 months is earned in Year 2. Interest earned in Year 2 = $50 per month × 4 months = $200 98) B The amount of interest earned is computed as follows: Total annual interest = $60,000 × 0.06 = $3,600 Monthly interest = $3,600 annual interest ÷ 12 months = $300 Interest earned in Year 1 = $300 per month × 3 months = $900 Recognizing the accrued interest revenue increases assets (Interest Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). On the income statement, revenue increases which increases net income. Accrued interest means that the company has earned the interest but has not yet collected cash. Since no cash was collected, the statement of cash flows is not affected. 99) D

58
The amount of interest earned is computed as follows: Total annual interest = $60,000 × 0.06 = $3,600 Monthly interest = $3,600 annual interest ÷ 12 months = $300 Interest earned in Year 2 = $300 per month × 9 months = $2,700 Recognizing the accrued interest revenue increases assets (Interest Receivable) and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). On the income statement, revenue increases which increases net income Accrued interest means that the company has earned the interest but has not yet collected cash. Since no cash was collected, the statement of cash flows is not affected. 100) C Among other effects, accrued interest revenue would cause assets to increase. Cash loaned to an employee would have caused a cash outflow. Cash borrowed from a bank would have caused assets (cash) to increase. Since none of these effects are not shown in the statements model, these answers cannot be correct. Therefore, the correct answer is “collected cash for the principal balance of a note receivable”. Collecting the principal balance of a note receivable causes one asset account (cash) to increase and another asset (notes receivable) to decrease. Total assets are not affected. This is an asset exchange transaction that does not affect the income statement. The cash inflow from the collection of the note receivable would be classified as an investing activity. 101) C

59
The amount of interest earned is computed as follows: Total annual interest = $40,000 × 0.06 = $2,400 Monthly interest = $2,400 annual interest ÷ 12 months = $200 Interest earned in Year 1 = $200 per month × 5 months = $1,000 Since the total amount of interest will be collected on the maturity date in Year 2, the cash flow associated with interest revenue in Year 1 is zero. 102) D This is an asset exchange transaction. The amount of the uncollectible accounts is removed from the asset accounts receivable and from the contra asset allowance for doubtful accounts. The net realizable value of receivables and therefore total assets remains unchanged. 103) C The sale increases assets (accounts receivable) by $582, the net amount that will be collected from the credit card company, increases revenue by $600, and increases expenses (credit card expense) by $18 (3% of $600). Net income and stockholders’ equity both increase by $582. The statement of cash flows is not affected. 104) A This is an asset exchange transaction. Collecting the amount due ($582) from the credit card company increases assets (Cash) and decreases assets (Accounts Receivable), resulting in no net effect on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders' equity. It is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities. 105) C The fees associated with credit card sales are a disadvantage, not an advantage, of accepting credit cards. 106) C
Version 1
60
The credit card sale increases total assets (Accounts Receivable) and increases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $9,700 [or $10,000 − ($10,000 × 3%)]. It increases revenue by $10,000, increases expenses (credit card expense) by $300 (or $10,000 × 3%), and increases net income by $9,700 (or $10,000 − $300). The statement of cash flows is not affected. 107) C The sale increases assets (Accounts Receivable) and stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings) by $432 [or ($450 − ($450 × 4%)]. It increases revenue by $450, increases expenses (credit card expense) by $18 (or $450 × 4%), and increases net income by $432 (or $450 − $18). The statement of cash flows is not affected. 108) D Collecting the amount due from the credit card company increases assets (cash) and decreases assets (accounts receivable − credit card company), resulting in no net effect on total assets, total liabilities, or stockholders’ equity. 109) C The fee charged by the credit card company is $40 ($1,000 × 0.04). The customer will ultimately pay the credit card company $1,000, and the credit card company will pay Zane $960 ($1,000 − $40). 110) D The sales revenue is $2,400. The credit card expense charged by the credit card company is $120 ($2,400 × 0.05). The customer will pay the credit card company $2,400 and the credit card company will pay Barron $2,280 ($2,400 − $120). Therefore, Barron’s assets (Cash) increase by $2,280. 111) A

Dividing a company’s sales by its net accounts receivable tells how many times the net accounts receivable balance is “turned over” (converted into cash) each year. The higher the turnover, the shorter the collection period. 112) A Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales of $650,000 ÷ Net accounts receivable of ($70,000 − $4,000) = 9.85 Average number of days to collect accounts receivable = 365 ÷ Accounts receivable turnover ratio of 9.85 = 37 days 113) C The length of the operating cycle is the average time it takes a business to convert inventory to accounts receivable plus the time it takes to convert accounts receivable into cash. Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales of $1,100,000 ÷ Net accounts receivable of $90,000 = 12.22 Average number of days to collect accounts receivable = 365 ÷ 12.22 = 30 days Inventory turnover = $760,000 cost of goods sold ÷ $105,000 of inventory = 7.24 Average number of days to sell inventory = 365 days ÷ 7.24 = 50 days Operating cycle = Average number of days to collect accounts receivable of 30 days + Average number of days to sell inventory of 50 days = 80 days 114) B Operating cycle = Average number of days to collect receivables + Average number of days to sell inventory 115) D

The length of the operating cycle is the average time it takes a business to convert inventory to accounts receivable plus the time it takes to convert accounts receivable into cash. The Christmas tree farm would most likely have the longest operating cycle because it takes longer to grow Christmas trees than it takes the three types of other businesses to obtain merchandise inventory. 116) C Increased sales would be a benefit (rather than a cost) of extending credit to customers. 117) A Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales ÷ Net accounts receivable 118) B Average number of days to collect accounts receivable = 365 ÷ Accounts receivable turnover ratio 119) D

Accounts receivable turnover ratio = Sales ÷ Net accounts receivable Average number of days to collect accounts receivable = 365 ÷ Accounts receivable turnover ratio Harris: Accounts receivable turnover ratio = $300,000 ÷ $60,000 = 5 times Average number of days to collect accounts receivable = 365 ÷ 5 = 73 days Schubert: Accounts receivable turnover ratio = $180,000 ÷ $40,000 = 4.5 times Average number of days to collect accounts receivable = 365 ÷ 4.5 = 81.11 days The two costs of extending credit to customers include uncollectible accounts expense and recordkeeping costs. The longer it takes to collect accounts receivable, the greater the opportunity cost of lost income.Schubert takes longer to collect its receivables and, as a result, has a greater likelihood of lost income as a result of credit costs.

Goodwill = Acquisition price of $650,000 - Fair value of Chesapeake's net assets of $480,000 (or appraised value of assets of $660,000 − liabilities of $180,000) = $170,000 The purchase will decrease assets (cash) by $650,000, increase assets (various purchased assets) by $660,000, increase assets (goodwill) by $170,000, resulting in a net increase in assets of $180,000. It will also increase liabilities (various liabilities assumed) by $180,000.

14) Answers will vary (only three examples are required). Examples of property, plant, and equipment include, but are not necessarily limited to, furniture, cash registers, machinery, delivery trucks, computers, mechanical robots, buildings, or office equipment. Note that one company may include all office equipment in one account, whereas another company might divide office equipment into computers, desks, chairs, and so on. Land is normally classified as a component of property, plant, and equipment but it is not subject to depreciation. 15) Answers will vary (only one example is required). Intangible assets with identifiable useful lives include patents and copyrights. 16) Answers will vary. (1) Stock brokerage firms and insurance companies are examples of firms that invest in relatively small amounts of property, plant, and equipment. (2) Electric utility companies and automobile manufacturing companies are examples of firms that require heavy investment in property, plant, and equipment. Businesses in certain industries tend to rely on more property, plant, and equipment; businesses in other industries rely on more human capital. 17) Answers will vary (only three examples are required). Costs of newly purchased buildings include the purchase price, sales taxes, title search and transfer documents, realtor's fees, attorney's fees, and remodeling costs.

18) A basket purchase is the acquisition of a group of assets in a single transaction. The total price of a basket purchase must be allocated among the assets acquired. Accountants commonly allocate the purchase price using the relative market value method. 19) Double-declining-balance Double-declining-balance, an accelerated method, produces more depreciation expense in the early years of an asset's life, with a declining amount of expense in later years. 20) The Accumulated Depreciation account is a contra asset account. 21) The gain or loss on the sale of an asset is normally computed by comparing the proceeds from the sale (or sales price) of the asset to the asset's book value. Book value = Cost − Accumulated deprecation 22) Half-year convention The half-year convention is designed to simplify computing taxable income. Instead of requiring taxpayers to calculate depreciation from the exact date of purchase to the exact date of disposal, the tax code requires one-half year's depreciation to be charged in the year in which an asset is acquired and one-half year's depreciation in the final year of depreciation.

23) A company choosing the straight-line method will pay more taxes in the early years and less taxes in later years than a company choosing MACRS, depending on the useful life of the asset. A company choosing MACRS would reduce taxes in the early years of an asset's life because it would report higher depreciation charges on the tax return than in the financial statements. In later years, however, taxes will be higher because, under MACRS, the amount of depreciation declines as the asset becomes older. Taxes are delayed but not avoided. 24) Because revisions of such estimates are common, generally accepted accounting principles call for incorporating the revised information into present and future calculations. Prior reports are not corrected (or changed). Year 2 Depreciation charge = [Book value as of beginning of Year 2 − Estimated salvage value] ÷ Remaining useful life 25) Accumulated Depreciation If a capital expenditure extends the life of an asset rather than improving the asset's quality of service, accountants view the expenditure as canceling some of the depreciation previously charged to expense. The event is still an asset exchange; cash decreases, and the book value of the machine increases. However, the increase in the book value of the machine results from reducing the balance in the contra asset account, Accumulated Depreciation. 26) Depletion The term used to recognize expense for natural resources is depletion.

27) Goodwill is the added value of a successful business that is attributable to factors such as reputation, location, and superior products. Goodwill enables a business to earn above-average profits. In other words, goodwill is the excess paid for an existing business over the appraised value of the net assets. 28) Intangible assets The costs of intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are normally expensed on a straight-line basis using a process called amortization. 29) Answers will vary. Tangible assets have a physical presence; they can be seen and touched. In contrast, intangible assets have no physical form. Although they may be represented by physical documents, intangible assets are, in fact, rights or privileges. They cannot be seen or touched. Tangible assets include land, natural resources, and buildings. Intangible assets include copyrights, patents, and goodwill. 30) Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives must be tested for impairment annually. The impairment test consists of comparing the fair value of the intangible asset to its carrying value (book value). If the fair value is less than the book value, an impairment loss must be recognized. 31) The costs of intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are normally expensed on a straight-line basis using a process called amortization. Goodwill is not amortized because it has an indefinite useful life. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives must be tested for impairment annually.

32) For many years, some thought the companies that followed U.S. GAAP were at a disadvantage when it came to research and development (R&D) costs, because these companies had to immediately expense such costs, while the accounting rules of some other countries allowed R&D costs to be capitalized. Recording costs as an asset– capitalizing it–means that net income is not immediately reduced. The global movement toward using IFRS is reducing, but not eliminating, the different accounting treatments for R&D. 33) During the early years of the asset's life, the straight-line method will report lower depreciation expense (and higher net income) than the double-declining-balance method. During the later years of the asset's life, the straight-line method will report higher depreciation expense (and lower net income) than the double-declining-balance method. 34) 1.a) $216,000 2.b) $38,000 3.c) $140,000 4.d) $5,000 Loss 1.a) Cost = $212,000 + $4,000 = $216,000 2.b) Annual deprecation = (Cost of $216,000 − Salvage value of $26,000) ÷ 5 years = $38,000 3.c) Book value at end of Year 2 = $216,000 − ($38,000 per year × 2 years) = $140,000 4.d) Gain (loss) = Proceeds from sale of $135,000 − Book value of $140,000 = ($5,000)

Answer Key Test name: Chap 08_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) FALSE Tangible assets have a physical presence; they can be seen and touched. Goodwill is an intangible asset. 2) TRUE Intangible assets are, in fact, rights or privileges. They cannot be seen or touched. 3) FALSE The term used to recognize expense for property, plant, and equipment is depreciation. The term used to recognize expense for natural resources is depletion. 4) TRUE Land is normally classified as a component of property, plant, and equipment but is not subject to depreciation. Land has an infinite life. It is not worn out or consumed as it is used. 5) TRUE Acquiring a group of assets in a single transaction is known as a basket purchase. The total price of a basket purchase must be allocated among the assets acquired. 6) FALSE A copyright protects writers’ works, musical compositions, works of art, and other intellectual property for the exclusive benefit of the creator or persons assigned the right by the creator. Copyrights granted by the federal government extend for the life of the creator plus 70 years. 7) FALSE

A trademark is a name or symbol that identifies a company or a product and is an intangible asset. Trademarks are registered with the federal government and have an indefinite legal lifetime. 8) FALSE Title search and transfer document costs are included in the cost of the building and expensed over the building’s useful life. 9) TRUE The depreciable cost is the total amount of an asset’s cost that will be depreciated over its useful life. 10) TRUE Double-declining-balance depreciation recognizes greater amounts of expense in an asset’s early life and lesser amounts in its later life, while the straight-line method recognizes equal amounts of expense each year. 11) FALSE The purchase is an asset exchange transaction that increases one asset, delivery truck, and decreases another asset, cash. 12) TRUE Recognizing depreciation expense is an asset use transaction that decreases assets by increasing the Accumulated Depreciation account, a contra asset account. 13) FALSE Accumulated depreciation is reported on the balance sheet. It is a contraasset account. 14) FALSE When depreciation is recorded on equipment, Depreciation Expense is increased, and Accumulated Depreciation is increased. 15) FALSE An accelerated depreciation method such as the double-decliningbalance method depreciates an asset to its salvage value and no further. 16) FALSE Version 1
48
The method used to recognize depreciation expense should match the asset’s usage pattern. 17) FALSE Gains and losses are reported after operating income on the income statement. 18) FALSE Because of the half-year convention, the greatest amount of expense will be recognized in the second year of the asset’s life. 19) FALSE Estimates (for such things as useful life and salvage value) are used extensively in accounting, and revision of those estimates is not uncommon. 20) TRUE Only current and future financial statements change as the result of changes in estimates; previously-issued financial statements are not affected. 21) FALSE Substantial amounts spent to improve the quality or extend the life of an asset are described as capital expenditures. 22) TRUE An expenditure that improves a plant asset’s quality increases the plant asset account. 23) FALSE Expenditures that extend the useful life of a plant asset decrease the asset’s accumulated depreciation. 24) FALSE Depletion of a natural resource is usually calculated using the units-ofproduction method. 25) TRUE

All costs associated with obtaining and readying an asset for its initial use are capitalized. 26) TRUE Goodwill is the value attributable to favorable factors such as reputation, location, and superior products. 27) TRUE Company X records the assets acquired at their fair value (rather than the original cost of the assets to Company Y) 28) TRUE An impairment loss decreases assets (the impaired asset’s account) and decreases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). It increases expenses (impairment loss), which decreases net income. 29) A Tangible assets, such as land, have a physical presence; they can be seen and touched. The other answer choices are examples of intangible assets. Although they may be represented by physical documents, intangible assets are, in fact, rights or privileges. They cannot be seen or touched. Copyright, goodwill, and trademark are all examples of intangible assets, as they do not have physical existence. 30) B Long-term operational assets include assets, like equipment or buildings, that are used for extended periods of time (two or more accounting periods). Even though it is intangible, a trademark is a long-term operational asset. While a note receivable may be classified as longterm, it is not considered an operational asset. Inventory and accounts receivable are current assets. 31) D

Tangible assets, such as delivery trucks, timber reserves, and land, have a physical presence; they can be seen and touched. Although they may be represented by physical documents, intangible assets, such as copyrights, are, in fact, rights or privileges. They cannot be seen or touched. 32) C Examples of property, plant, and equipment include furniture, cash registers, machinery, delivery trucks, computers, mechanical robots, buildings, and land. Inventory is a separate asset account. 33) B Depreciation is the process of expense recognition for property, plant and equipment. Amortization relates to intangible assets and depletion relates to natural resources. Although estimates may be revised, revision is not the name of a process of expense allocation. 34) C Intangible assets that provide rights and privileges include copyrights, franchises, and trademarks. On the other hand, goodwill is the value attributable to favorable factors such as reputation, location, and superior products. 35) B Accountants commonly allocate the purchase price of a basket purchase using the relative market value method. Relative market value of building = Market value of building of $1,210,000 ÷ Total market value of all assets acquired of $2,420,000 (or $407,000 + $1,210,000 + $803,000) = 50% Allocation to building = Purchase price of $1,520,000 × 50% = $760,000 36) B

Because the double-declining-balance method recognizes depreciation expense more rapidly than the straight-line method does, it is called an accelerated depreciation method.The maximum depreciation currently allowed by tax law is computed using an accelerated depreciation method known as the MACRS. The units-of-production method bases depreciation expense on actual asset usage and is not an accelerated depreciation method. 57) A Approximately 87% of U.S. companies use the straight-line method. 58) A In general companies want to report the maximum amount of expense on their tax returns thereby reducing the amount of net income and the associated income tax expense. Since accelerated depreciation recognizes more expense in the early life of an asset, companies prefer to use this method to reduce taxation in the early years of an asset’s life. While it is true that the same total amount of depreciation expense is recognized over the life of an asset regardless of the depreciation method used, accelerated depreciation allows companies to report higher depreciation expense in the early years of an asset’s life, thereby deferring (delaying) the tax that must ultimately be paid. If you cannot avoid tax, the next best alternative is to defer (delay) paying it. 59) D Double-declining-balance rate = (1 ÷ 5) × 2 = 40% Year 1 depreciation expense = Book value at beginning of year of $90,000 × 40% = $36,000 Depreciation expense decreases assets (by increasing accumulated depreciation, a contra asset account) and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings).

It increases expenses (depreciation expense) and decreases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 69) B Double-declining-balance depreciation produces a large amount of depreciation in the first year of an asset’s life and progressively smaller levels of expense in each succeeding year. Because the doubledeclining-balance method recognizes depreciation expense more rapidly than the straight-line method does, it is called an accelerated depreciation method. In the 4th year of the car’s 6-year useful life, straight-line depreciation will produce greater depreciation expense. 70) B

The cost of the purchase is placed in an asset account on the day of purchase. As the asset is used a portion of its cost will be expensed. Accordingly, the expense recognition is spread over the useful life of the asset. Since the company pays the cash before it recognizes the expense, the purchase is a deferral. 76) C

Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost − $4,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $15,000 Straight-line depreciation recognizes the same amount of expense for each year of useful life. In this case, $15,000 will be recognized in Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, and Year 4. The depreciation expense account is a temporary account that is closed at the end of each accounting period. Therefore, the depreciation expense account for the truck has a zero balance at the beginning of each accounting period and a before closing balance that is equal to one year’s depreciation ($15,000) at the end of each accounting period. 77) D Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost − $4,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $15,000 The accumulated depreciation account is a permanent contra asset account. As its name implies, the balance accumulates each year. In this case the after closing (ending) balance in the accumulated depreciation account will be $15,000 in Year 1, $30,000 in Year 2, $45,000 in Year 3, and $60,000 in Year 4. 78) B Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost − $4,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $15,000 The book value is the amount of the cost of the asset minus the accumulated depreciation.

79) D Depreciation expense per year = (Cost of the asset − Salvage value) ÷ Useful life Depreciation expense per year = ($64,000 Cost − $4,000 Salvage) ÷ 4 Year life = $15,000 The adjusting entry to recognize depreciation expense will cause the accumulated depreciation account to increase by $15,000 which decreases assets (Book Value of Equipment). Note that the question is not asking for the balance in the accumulated depreciation account but instead it is asking how the entry to recognize depreciation expense will affect the financial statements. The recognition of depreciation expense will cause net income to decrease and ultimately stockholders’ equity (retained earnings) to decrease. There is no impact on the statement of cash flows because the associated cash outflow would have been recognized previously when the truck was purchased. 80) B Depreciation expense = [(Cost of $60,000 − Salvage value of $9,000) ÷ Estimate of 100,000 miles] × Miles driven during year of 30,000 = $15,300 81) B Depreciation expense = [(Cost of $46,000 − Salvage value of $8,000) ÷ Estimate of 100,000 miles] × Miles driven during year of 26,000 = $9,880 82) D

Expense recognition should match as closely as possible the benefit that was derived from the asset in a given period. Total depreciation over an asset’s useful life will be the same regardless of the depreciation method. Different companies in the same industry are free to choose whatever depreciation method they see fit. Because double-declining depreciation recognizes greater expense in an asset’s early years, the straight-line method will result in higher book value until the asset is fully depreciated, at which time the book values will be equal. 83) D The sale increases assets (cash) by $32,000, decreases assets (machine less its accumulated depreciation) by $38,000, for a net decrease in assets of $6,000. Because the machine is sold for $6,000 less than its book value, the company records a loss on the sale of $6,000, which decreases net income and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). The $32,000 cash received is reported as a cash inflow from investing activities. 84) C The sale increases assets (cash) by $6,000, decreases assets (equipment) by $34,000, and increases assets (by decreasing accumulated depreciation, a contra asset account) by $31,000, resulting in a net increase in assets of $3,000. Because the selling price of $6,000 is greater than the equipment’s book value of $3,000 (or $34,000 − $31,000), Farmer reports a gain on the sale of $3,000, which increases revenue, net income, and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). The $6,000 cash proceeds are reported as a cash inflow from investing activities. 85) B

The sale increases assets (cash) by $16,000, decreases assets (equipment) by $44,000, and increases assets (by decreasing accumulated depreciation, a contra asset account) by $32,000, resulting in a net increase in assets of $4,000. 88) D

Depreciation deduction on Year 1 income tax return = 20% × $130,000 = $26,000 Straight-line method depreciation = ($130,000 − $10,000) ÷ 8 years = $15,000 Taxes will be reduced in Year 1 because the MACRS depreciation charge is higher than the straight-line amount. The amount of taxes delayed for future payment represents a deferred tax liability that will be reported on the balance sheet. 89) D 7-year property will be depreciated over 7 years, and 10-year property will be depreciated over 10 years. Because of the half-year convention, modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) depreciation will be greater in an asset’s second year than its first. MACRS is used for tax reporting, but not for financial statement reporting. 90) C Modified accelerated cost recovery system (MACRS) will typically produce a different depreciation expense than any of the generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) methods of calculating depreciation. It does not mean that net income is understated, it is just that net income for financial reporting is different than net income for tax reporting. Net income is not misstated as a result of the methods used for tax and financial reporting. 91) C

122) A Because goodwill does not have an identifiable useful life, it is not amortized. Instead, it must be tested for impairment annually. 123) D The costs of intangible assets with identifiable useful lives are normally expensed on a straight-line basis using a process called amortization. 124) C Goodwill = Cash paid of $1,025,000 + Liabilities assumed of $208,000 − Fair value of assets acquired of $740,000 = $493,000 125) C Goodwill = Cash paid of $770,000 + Liabilities assumed of $160,000 − Fair value of assets acquired of $680,000 = $250,000 126) D Patents are amortized over the shorter of their legal or useful lives.

Depletion expense, amortization expense, and depreciation expense all decrease assets and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). They also increase expenses, which decreases net income. They do not affect cash flows. 130) D The acquisition will decrease cash by $600,000, increase “Lee’s Assets” by $520,000 (the assets’ fair value), increase liabilities by $40,000 (the amount assumed), and increase goodwill for the difference of $120,000. The cash paid of $600,000 is reported as a cash outflow from investing activities. 131) C Recognizing depreciation decreases assets (by increasing accumulated depreciation, a contra asset account) and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). It also increases expenses (depreciation expense), which decreases net income. Thus, the choice of depreciation methods impacts the debt-to-assets ratio (total liabilities ÷ total assets), total assets, and return-on-equity ratio (net income ÷ total equity). Depreciation does not affect cash flows. 132) B The method used to recognize depreciation expense should match the asset’s usage pattern. 133) D A stock brokerage, relative to the other industries listed, has little in property, plant, and equipment compared to revenue produced. The brokerage instead uses human capital, which does not appear on the balance sheet. 134) B

22) Assets (Cash) are decreased and liabilities (Warranties Payable) are decreased. The cash payment for the repair is not an expense. Warranty expense was recognized in the period in which the sale was made (when the Warranties Payable account was increased). The payment decreases assets (Cash) and liabilities (Warranties Payable). 23) Warranty expense is recognized when goods are sold that are subject to warranty. 24) The recognition of warranty expense does not affect the statement of cash flows. A cash outflow from operating activities will be recorded on the statement of cash flows when cash is paid to settle a warranty claim. 25) Businesses must distinguish between independent contractors and employees because payroll taxes apply only to employees. When a business supervises, directs, and controls an individual's work, the individual is an employee of the business. When a business pays an individual for specific services, but the individual supervises and controls the work, then that individual is an independent contractor. Max Manufacturing is required to withhold payroll taxes for employees, such as Ian Brown, and is responsible for remitting those employee taxes, as well as paying the employer portion of FICA and unemployment taxes, to the federal government. Max Manufacturing is not required to withhold taxes for independent contractors, such as Gayle Hubbard, and is not obligated to pay the employer portion of FICA and unemployment taxes for work performed by independent contractors.

These include withheld federal, state, and possibly local income taxes, as well as employee portion of FICA (6% for Social Security and 1.5% for Medicare). In addition, he may have other deductions for medical insurance premiums, pension contributions, and charitable contributions. 27) Because meeting obligations on time is critical to business survival, financial analysts and creditors are interested in whether companies will have enough money available to pay bills when they are due. Most businesses provide information about their bill-paying ability by classifying their assets and liabilities according to liquidity. Balance sheets that distinguish between current and noncurrent items are called classified balance sheets. To enhance the usefulness of accounting information, most real-world balance sheets are classified. 28) Liquidity describes the ability to generate sufficient short-term cash flows to pay obligations as they come due. The primary ratio used to evaluate liquidity is the current ratio. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. 29) The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. The current ratio is among the most widely used ratios in analyzing financial statements. 30) a) Event 1 2 3 4 5

Answer Key Test name: Chap 09_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) TRUE Since the borrower issues the note, the borrower is sometimes called the issuer. 2) TRUE Because the money borrowed helps Hansen to generate revenue in Year 1, it is necessary for Hansen to recognize the expense (interest) related to that borrowed money in Year 1. 3) FALSE Payment of interest is an operating activity. 4) TRUE Interest rates are always expressed as annual rates, so it is necessary to multiply by 6 out of 12 months for a 6-month note. 5) FALSE At the time of repayment, Jackson should accrue 4 months of interest expense (January 1—May 1, Year 2). 6) FALSE Assets (equipment) increase by $8,000 and assets (cash) decreases by $500, for a net increase of $7,500. Liabilities (notes payable) increase by $7,500. 7) FALSE When sales tax is collected, it is reported as a liability, which is decreased when the tax is paid. It has no effect on the income statement. 8) TRUE
Version 1
33
Remittance of sales tax decreases assets (cash) and liabilities (sales tax payable). It does not affect the income statement. It is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. (Recall that the collection of sales tax is reported as a cash inflow from operating activities). 9) FALSE Only the $50 selling price is considered revenue. The $2.50 of sales tax collected is recorded as a liability (sales tax payable). 10) FALSE If the likelihood of a future obligation arising is remote, which might be the case with a frivolous lawsuit, no liability need be recognized in the financial statements or disclosed in the notes to the statements. 11) TRUE If the likelihood of a future obligation arising is probable (likely) and its amount can be reasonably estimated, a liability is recognized in the financial statements. Contingent liabilities in this category include warranties, vacation pay, and sick leave. 12) TRUE Contingent liabilities cannot be reported for events that have not yet occurred, such as hurricanes or other natural disasters. 13) FALSE All businesses face uncertainties such as competition and damage from floods or storms. Such uncertainties are not contingent liabilities, however, because they do not arise from past events. 14) FALSE Although the exact amount of future warranty claims is unknown at the time of the sale, the company must estimate the amount of the warranty liability and report the estimate in the financial statements that include the related sales. Recognizing this obligation increases liabilities (warranties payable) and reduces stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). Recognizing the warranty expense reduces net income. Version 1
34
15) TRUE Liabilities (warranties payable) increase and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings) decreases as the result of warranties expense. 16) TRUE Assets (cash) decrease and liabilities (warranties payable) decrease when the company pays cash to settle warranty claims. 17) TRUE The employee portion of FICA is withheld from employees' gross pay, and is, in effect, included in salary expense. The employer portion of FICA is considered payroll tax expense. 18) FALSE Unemployment tax is paid by the employer and is not withheld from employee salaries. 19) TRUE The employee then sends a copy of the W-2 to the IRS as evidence of earnings and taxes paid. 20) FALSE When a business pays an individual for specific services, but the individual supervises and controls the work, then that individual is an independent contractor. Independent contractors can be self-employed. 21) FALSE A classified balance sheet distinguishes between current and non-current assets and liabilities. 22) TRUE The current ratio is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, so it is necessary to distinguish between current and noncurrent assets and liabilities. A classified balance sheet makes these distinctions. 23) TRUE The primary ratio used to evaluate liquidity is the current ratio. 24) TRUE Version 1
35
A high current ratio may indicate that the company has an excess of cash, which could be put to better use, or an excess of receivables or inventory. Any of these may prevent a company from maximizing its earnings potential. 25) FALSE The current ratio equals current assets divided by current liabilities. 26) TRUE When a discount note is issued, the amount of the discount is deducted from the face value of the note to determine the amount of cash received. Proceeds from discounted note = Face value of $24,000 − Discount of ($24,000 × 8%) = $22,080 27) FALSE Discount = $24,000 × 8% = $1,920 Interest expense = $1,920 ÷ 12 months × 3 months (October 1— December 31) = $480 28) TRUE $24,000 × 8% = $1,920 Discount on Notes Payable 29) A Unless there is evidence to the contrary, companies are assumed to be going concerns that will continue to operate. Under this going concern assumption, companies expect to pay their obligations in full. Notes payable are therefore reported at face value. 30) C Unless there is evidence to the contrary, companies are assumed to be going concerns that will continue to operate. Under this going concern assumption, companies expect to pay their obligations in full. Notes payable are therefore reported at face value. In contrast, companies need to estimate the net realizable value of receivables, which is the amount of receivables a company expects to actually collect. Version 1
36
31) C Since the borrower issues the note, the borrower is sometimes called the issuer. 32) A At the end of the year, the company would make an adjustment to recognize ten months (March 1 through December 31) of accrued interest expense. Accruing interest expense increases liabilities (Interest Payable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases interest expense, which decreases net income. The cash flow statement is not affected. 33) B Accrued interest expense = $40,000 × 12% × (5 ÷ 12) = $2,000 The adjustment to accrue interest expense will increase liabilities (Interest Payable) and decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses, which will decrease net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 34) B Interest expense (September 1 through December 31) = $34,000 × 9% × (4 ÷ 12) = $1,020 The fact that it was an 18-month note does not affect the Year 1 interest expense. 35) D Interest expense (September 1 through December 31) = $10,000 × 6% × (4 ÷ 12) = $200 The fact that it was an 18-month note does not affect the Year 1 interest expense. 36) D
Version 1
37
The $12,000 borrowed is classified as a financing activity, not an operating activity. No interest was paid in Year 1, so there is no cash flow related to the interest. 37) D The $24,000 borrowed is classified as a financing activity, not an operating activity. No interest was paid in Year 1, so there is no cash flow related to the interest. 38) B Interest payable = $24,000 × 8% × (5 ÷ 12) = $800 Total liabilities = Note payable of $24,000 + Interest payable of $800 = $24,800 39) B Interest payable = $24,000 × 8% × (5 ÷ 12) = $800 Total liabilities = Note payable of $24,000 + Interest payable of $800 = $24,800 40) B Interest expense = $42,000 × 8% × (3 ÷ 12) = $840 Net income = Revenue of $1,700 − Interest expense of $840 = $860 41) A Interest expense = $36,000 × 7% × (3 ÷ 12) = $630 Net income = Revenue of $1,400 − Interest expense of $630 = $770 42) B Cash paid for interest during Year 2 = $48,000 × 6% = $2,880 Net cash flow from operating activities for year 2 = Inflow from revenue of $1,500 − Outflow for interest of $2,880 = $1,380 The repayment of principal in the amount of $48,000 is a cash outflow from financing activities. 43) D
Version 1
38
Cash paid for interest during Year 2 = $36,000 × 7% = $2,520 Net cash flow from operating activities for year 2 = Inflow from revenue of $1,400 − Outflow for interest of $2,520 = $1,120 The repayment of principal in the amount of $36,000 is a cash outflow from financing activities. 44) B End of Year 1: Interest payable = $34,000 × 4% × (9 ÷ 12) = $1,020 Total liabilities = Note payable of $34,000 + Interest payable of $1,020 = $35,020 End of Year 2: The note is repaid and the full amount of interest on the note was paid before the end of Year 2, so there are no remaining liabilities at that date. 45) B End of Year 1: Interest payable = $36,000 × 7% × (9 ÷ 12) = $1,890 Total liabilities = Note payable of $36,000 + Interest payable of $1,890 = $37,890 End of Year 2: The note is repaid and the full amount of interest on the note was paid before the end of Year 2, so there are no remaining liabilities at that date. 46) B Issuing the note is an asset source transaction. The asset account Cash increases and the liability account Notes Payable increases. 47) A
Version 1
39
The accrual of interest on a note payable is a claims exchange transaction because the stockholders’ equity account Retained Earnings decreases (because Interest Expense increases) and the liability account Interest Payable increases. Issuing the note is an asset source transaction because the asset account Cash increases and the liability account Notes Payable increases. Repaying the principal (or interest) on a note payable is an asset use transaction since the asset account Cash decreases and the liability account Notes Payable (or Interest Payable) decreases. 48) D Sales tax collected = $200 × 4% = $8 Cash collected = Sale of $200 + Sales tax of $8 = $208 The transaction increases cash flow from operating activities by $208. The transaction increases assets (cash) by $208 and decreases assets (inventory) by its cost of $130, resulting in a net increase in assets of $78 (or $208 − $130). It also increases liabilities by the sales tax collected of $8 and increases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings) by $70. Thus: Increase in assets of $78 = Increase in Liabilities of $8 + Increase in Stockholders’ equity of $70. The increase in stockholders’ equity is also explained as follows. Revenues (sales) increase by $200 and expenses (cost of goods sold) increase by $130, which results in an increase in net income of $70 (which increases retained earnings). 49) B Yang is required by the government to collect the tax from the customer.Yang is then obligated to pay the tax to the government.As a result, Yang incurs a $360 liability ($4,000 × 0.09) when the sales event occurs. 50) D
Version 1
40
All of the answers describe effects that would result from recognizing the sales event. Yang would receive $10,900 [$10,000 + ($10,000 × 0.09)] cash.This would cause assets (Cash) to increase.Yang would recognize a $900 obligation ($10,000 × 0.09) for the cash that was collected for the taxing authority. This increases liabilities (Sales Tax Payable).Finally,Yang would recognize $10,000 of sales revenue. 51) C Paying off a sales tax liability is no different than paying off any other liability.It is an asset use transaction.Assets (Cash) decrease and liabilities (Sales Tax Payable) decrease. 52) B Wilson would receive $4,240 [$4,000 + ($4,000 × 0.06)] cash.This cash inflow would cause assets (Cash) to increase.Wilson would recognize a $240 obligation ($4,000 × 0.06) for the cash that was collected for the taxing authority. This increases liabilities (sales tax payable).Finally, Wilson would recognize $4,000 of sales revenue which would cause net income and ultimately stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) to increase.Since the $4,240 cash inflow is related to operating the business, it would be classified as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. 53) D Paying off a sales tax liability is an asset use transaction.Assets (Cash) decrease and liabilities (Sales Tax Payable) decrease.There is no impact on the income statement because the revenue was recorded previously at the time the sales event occurred.Since the cash outflow is related to operating the business, it would be classified as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. 54) A Remittance of sales tax decreases assets (cash) and decreases liabilities (sales tax payable). Version 1

55) D A contingent liability should be recorded in the financial statements as a liability if the outcome is considered probable and the amount owed can be reasonably estimated. If it is considered only reasonably possible, it is only disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. 56) C Because the obligation is considered remote, it is neither recognized nor disclosed in Burger Barn's financial statements. 57) C If a contingent liability is classified as probable and estimable, GAAP requires that the liability and related expense be shown in the financial statements. 58) D Contingent liabilities can be classified as any of the categories listed above. 59) C Contingent liabilities that are remote do not have to be recognized or disclosed.Contingent liabilities that have a reasonably possible chance of occurring but are not estimable must be disclosed in the footnotes to financial statements but are not recognized in the financial statements.Only contingent liabilities that have a probable chance of occurring and that are estimable require disclosure in the financial statements. 60) A Due to the conservatism principle GAAP frequently requires potential expenses and liabilities to be reported while it prohibits reporting potential gains and assets. 61) D

Estimating future warranty costs related to Year 1 sales increases liabilities (Warranties Payable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (Warranty Expense), which decreases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 62) B Paying $550 to satisfy a warranty claim decreases assets (Cash) by $550 and decreases liabilities (Warranties Payable) by $550. The $550 outflow is reported as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. 63) A The adjustment increases liabilities (Warranties Payable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (Warranty Expense), which decreases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 64) C Cash is usually used to settle a warranty claim made by a customer and affects the statement of cash flows at that time. Although cash may be collected when the sale is made, that cash is not related to the warranty obligation. The accrual of the warranty obligation increases the liability Warranties Payable and increases Warranty Expense; as such, that transaction does not affect the statement of cash flows. 65) D Year 1 Warranty expense = $360,000 × 2% = $7,200 Accruing the warranty obligation increases liabilities (warranties payable) and increases expenses (warranty expense) by $7,200. Settlement of the warranty claims decreases assets (cash) and decreases liabilities (warranties payable) by $4,800. Thus, at the end of Year 1, the warranties payable account has a balance of $2,400 ($7,200 − $4,800). Cash decreases by $4,800 when the warranty obligations are settled. 66) D Version 1
43
Year 1 Warranty expense = $800,000 × 3% = $24,000 Accruing the warranty obligation increases liabilities (warranties payable) and increases expenses (warranty expense) by $24,000. Settlement of the warranty claims decreases assets (cash) and decreases liabilities (warranties payable) by $13,000. Thus, at the end of Year 1, the warranties payable account has a balance of $11,000 ($24,000 − $13,000). Cash decreases by $13,000 when the warranty obligations are settled. 67) D When a company recognizes warranty expense, it acknowledges its obligation to repair or replace defective products that were sold to customers. As a result, liabilities (Warranties Payable) increase. The recognition of the warranty expense decreases net income and ultimately stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 68) B The amount of warranty expense to recognize is $7,200 ($240,000 × 0.03). When a company recognizes warranty expense, it acknowledges its obligation to repair or replace defective products that were sold to customers. As a result, liabilities (Warranties Payable) increase. The recognition of the expense decreases net income and ultimately stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). Assets will not be affected until later when the company has to pay cash to repair or replace a defective product. 69) B
Version 1
44
The amount of warranty expense and related liability required to recognize is $16,000 ($400,000 × 0.04). When a company recognizes warranty expense, it acknowledges its obligation to repair or replace defective products that were sold to customers. As a result, liabilities (warranties payable) increase. The recognition of the expense decreases net income and ultimately stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). Cash flow is not affected when the expense is recognized. A cash flow will occur later when the company has to pay cash to repair or replace a defective product. Assets will not be affected until later when the company has to pay cash to repair or replace a defective product. 70) C Paying off a warranty liability is no different than paying off any other liability. It is an asset use transaction. Assets (Cash) decrease and liabilities (Warranties Payable) decrease. There is no impact on the income statement. Since the cash payment is associated with the company’s operations, it is classified as an operating activity. 71) D The amount of warranty expense and related liability required to recognize is $5,000 ($250,000 × 0.02). When a company recognizes warranty expense, it acknowledges its obligation to repair or replace defective products that were sold to customers. As a result, liabilities (Warranties Payable) increase. The recognition of the warranty expense decreases net income and ultimately stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). Cash flow is not affected when the expense is recognized. A cash flow will occur later when the company has to pay cash to repair or replace a defective product. 72) B Employee’s portion of FICA = $5,600 × 7.5% = $420, which is withheld from Jamal’s gross pay. The company matches that amount and, as such, is responsible for a total of $840 (or $420 + $420). Version 1
45
73) D Employee’s portion of FICA = $3,000 × 7.5% = $225, which is withheld from Jamal’s gross pay. The company matches that amount and, as such, is responsible for a total of $450 (or $225 + $225). 74) B When a business supervises, directs, and controls an individual’s work, the individual is an employee of the business. When a business pays an individual for specific services, but the individual supervises and controls the work, then that individual is an independent contractor. 75) C Federal unemployment tax is paid entirely by the employer; as such, it is not withheld from an employee's pay. 76) B Employee’s Withholding Allowance Certificate, Form W-4, is the form used to document the number of allowances claimed by an employee. Employees are generally allowed to claim one allowance for themselves and one for each legal dependent. 77) D The federal government collects the tax. The employer and employee pay the tax to the government. 78) B Only the employer is responsible for paying unemployment tax. 79) D $4,000 Gross Pay − $450 Income Tax − $240 FICA Tax − $60 Medicare Tax − $190 Medical Insurance − $15 Humane Society = $3,045 Net Pay. Note: only the employer pays unemployment tax. 80) C FICA tax expense − Social Security (4,000 × 6%) FICA tax expense − Medicare (4,000 × 1.5%) Federal unemployment tax expense ($4,000 × .006)

Note: The employer matches the employee’s FICA taxes as well as paying unemployment taxes. 81) A Recognizing accrued payroll tax expense is an equity exchange transaction. Payroll tax expense increases which causes net income and ultimately stockholders’ equity to decrease. Various tax liability accounts increase. Cash flow is not affected. 82) A A current (short-term) asset is expected to be converted to cash or consumed within one year or an operating cycle, whichever is longer. An operating cycle is defined as the average time it takes a business to convert cash to inventory, inventory to accounts receivable, and accounts receivable back to cash. Merchandise inventory, office supplies, and prepaid rent would be classified as current assets. Office equipment is not a current asset because it would be used for more than one year or one operating cycle. 83) B Classified balance sheets distinguish between current and noncurrent items with regards to both assets and liabilities. 84) D Current (short-term) liabilities would be those due within one year or an operating cycle, whichever is longer. An operating cycle is defined as the average time it takes a business to convert cash to inventory, inventory to accounts receivable, and accounts receivable back to cash. Accounts payable, interest payable, and salaries payable are typically current liabilities. 85) B

Retained earnings are not separated into current versus long-term categories. The primary purpose of identifying current assets and liabilities is to easily assess a company’s ability to use its current assets to satisfy its current obligations. Classifying retained earnings into current versus noncurrent components would not provide insight into a company’s ability to meet its current obligations. 86) C Bond liabilities are obligations that normally extend for many years. Indeed, most bond obligations have terms of 20 or more years. 87) B Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = $8,650 ÷ $6,000 = 1.44 to 1 88) B Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = ($11,000 + $9,250) ÷ $4,500 = 4.5 to 1 89) C Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = ($12,000 + $8,000) ÷ $4,000 = 5 to 1 90) B Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Before transaction: Current ratio = $12,000 ÷ $4,000 = 3 to 1 After transaction: Current ratio = ($12,000 − $2,000) ÷ ($4,000 − $2,000) = 5 to 1 91) B Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = $720 ÷ $600 = 1.2 to 1 92) B Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = $960 ÷ $600 = 1.6 to 1 93) D Version 1
48
Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = ($32,000 + $14,800 + $4,000 − $4,000) ÷ $18,000 = 2.6 to 1 94) D Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = ($32,000 + $10,000 + $6,000 − $6,000) ÷ $20,000 = 2.1 to 1 95) B The primary ratio used to evaluate liquidity is the current ratio. Liquidity describes the ability to generate sufficient short-term cash flows to pay obligations as they come due. 96) C Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities 97) D Liquidity describes the ability to generate sufficient short-term cash flows to pay obligations as they come due. 98) A The borrower (issuer) agrees to repay the face value of a discount note at the maturity date. The borrower agrees to accept an amount of cash that is less than the face value of the note on the day of issue. The difference between the face value and the amount of cash the borrower receives is interest. For example, assume a company receives $900 cash when it issues a $1,000 discount. In other words, the company receives $900 on the day of issue and it has to repay $1,000 on the maturity date. The $100 difference ($1,000 − $900) is the amount of interest expense incurred by the borrower. 99) B
Version 1
49
The borrower (issuer) will receive cash equal to the $2,000 face value less the $120 ($2,000 × 0.06) discount. Specifically, total assets will increase by $1,880 cash ($2,000 face value − $120 discount). Total liabilities would also increase by $1,880. The balance sheet would show a $2,000 Notes Payable account less a $120 Discount on Notes Payable account. Since the Discount on Notes Payable account is a contra liability account the net increase in liabilities is $1,880 ($2,000 face value − $120 discount). 100) B Discount = $20,000 × 0.06 × 1 = $1,200 Three months (October 1—December 31) have passed. Amortization of discount = Discount of $1,200 × (3 ÷ 12) = $300 The adjustment will increase interest expense and decrease discount on notes payable by $300. 101) A Discount = $90,000 × 0.04 × 1 = $3,600 Four months (September 1—December 31) have passed. Year 1 interest expense = Amortization of discount = Discount of $3,600 × (4 ÷ 12) = $1,200 102) A The adjustment to accrue interest expense will increase liabilities (by decreasing Discount on Notes Payable, a contra liability account) and decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income. It does not affect the statement of cash flows. 103) B
Version 1
50
Discount = $90,000 × 0.04 × 1 = $3,600 Four months (September 1—December 31) have passed. Amortization of discount = Discount of $3,600 × (4 ÷ 12) = $1,200 Carrying value = Notes payable account balance of $90,000 − Discount on notes payable account balance of ($3,600 − $1,200) = $87,600 104) A Discount = $9,000 × 0.05 × 1 = $450 Ten months (March 1—December 31) have passed. Year 1 interest expense = Amortization of discount = Discount of $450 × (10 ÷ 12) = $375 The year-end adjustment increases liabilities (by decreasing Discount on Notes Payable, a contra liability account) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income. 105) D The maturity date of the note is April 1, Year 2. At maturity, since all interest has been accrued through that date, the discount account has been reduced to zero, so the carrying value of the liability is equal to the note’s face value. At maturity, the face value of the note of $9,000 is repaid, which decreases assets (Cash) and liabilities (Notes Payable). However, only the amount initially borrowed of $8,550 is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities; the amount of the discount that is paid of $450 is reported as an operating activity since it represents interest expense. 106) D
Version 1
51
The bookkeeping technique of converting the discount to interest expense over the term of the loan is described as amortizing the discount. Amortizing the discount increases liabilities (by decreasing the Discount on Notes Payable, a contra liability account) and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income. 107) B When issued, the face value of the discount note is recorded in the notes payable account and the amount of the discount is recorded in the discount on notes payable account. 108) C Issuing a discount note increases assets (Cash) and increases liabilities (Notes Payable, less Discount on Notes Payable). The cash received is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities. 109) B Accounts payable, warranties payable, and discount on notes payable, which is a contra liability account, all appear in the liabilities section of the balance sheet. The allowance for doubtful accounts and credit card receivables appear in the assets section of the balance sheet. 110) D
Version 1
52
The year-end adjustment that should have been made would have increased liabilities (by decreasing discount on notes payable, a contra liability account) and increased expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income in Year 1. Neglecting to make the adjustment would understate liabilities at the end of Year 1 and overstate Year 1 net income. The note matures in Year 2. When the payment of the note and interest is recorded in Year 2, this error also causes the company to recognize all 12 months of interest expense in Year 2, instead of just 9 months, which causes Year 2 net income to be understated. 111) A The Discount on Notes Payable account is a contra liability account. The carrying value of the liability is the difference between the Notes Payable and Discount accounts

Issuing bonds at a discount increases assets (Cash), increases liabilities (Bonds Payable), and decreases liabilities (by increasing the Discount on Bonds Payable, a contra liability account). The net effect on liabilities is an increase (since the face value of the bonds exceeds the discount). The cash received is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 4) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D I D NA I D D
The cash payment and recognition of interest expense decreases assets (Cash), increases the carrying value of the bond liability (through a decrease in the bond discount), and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income.

Making a payment on an installment note decreases assets (Cash) by the amount of the payment, decreases liabilities ( Note Payable) by the amount of the principal amortization, and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income. The amount of the principal amortization is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities, and the amount of interest expense recognized is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 10) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income NA NA NA NA NA NA NA

Borrowing on a line of credit increases assets (Cash) and increases liabilities (Line of Credit liability). It is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 12) Balance Sheet Income Statement Statement of Cash Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders’ Revenue − Expense = Net Flows Equity Income D D D NA I D D
Version 1

Making a payment on a line of credit decreases assets (Cash) for the amount of the payment, decreases liabilities (Line of Credit liability) for the amount of the principal payment, and decreases stockholders' equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense) for the amount of the interest payment, which decreases net income. The principal repayment is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities, while the interest payment is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 13) If a company finances investment purchases with long-term debt, the company will pay interest. That interest will reduce taxable net income. In contrast, the dividends that a company would pay related to equity financing are not tax deductible. 14) Interest expense on a note payable is based on remaining principal balance. Because each payment includes a principal repayment as well as a payment for interest, the amount of principal would decrease with time. The interest is computed by multiplying the stated rate times the principal balance. 15) A line of credit enables a company to borrow or repay funds as needed. 16) Interest rates are normally variable, depending on some publicly announced rate such as the rate paid on U.S. government treasury bills. 17) Creditors often obtain additional protection by including restrictive covenants in loan agreements. Such covenants may restrict additional borrowing, limit dividend payments, or restrict salary increases. If the loan restrictions are violated, the borrower is in default and the loan balance is due immediately.

18) To ensure there is enough cash available at maturity to pay off the debt, a bond agreement may require the issuer to make regular payments into a sinking fund. Money deposited in the sinking fund is usually managed by an independent trustee who invests the funds until the bonds mature. At maturity, the funds and the proceeds from the investments are used to repay the bond debt. 19) Callable bonds allow the issuing corporation to redeem (pay off) the bond debt before the maturity date. If interest rates decline, this feature benefits the issuing company because it could borrow additional money at a lower rate and use the proceeds to pay off its higher rate bonds. 20) Some bonds are classified as "secured bonds" because they contain a clause that guarantees that the bondholders will be given certain identifiable assets in case of default. A common type of secured bond is called a mortgage bond. With a mortgage bond, a designated piece of property is conditionally transferred to the bondholder until the bond is paid. 21) As with other forms of credit, bonds may provide companies increased earnings through financial leverage. If a company can borrow money at 7% through a bond issue and invest the proceeds at 12%, the company's earnings benefit from the 5% (12% − 7%) spread. Also, bond interest expense, like other forms of interest expense, is tax deductible, making the effective cost of borrowing less than the interest expense because the interest expense reduces the tax expense. Because dividend payments are not tax deductible, equity financing (e.g., issuing common stock) does not offer this advantage.

22) When a bond is issued, the effective interest rate is determined by current market conditions. Market conditions are influenced by many factors, such as the state of the economy, government policy, and the law of supply and demand. These conditions are collectively reflected in the market interest rate. The effective rate of interest investors are willing to accept for a particular bond equals the market rate of interest for other investments with similar levels of risk at the time the bond is issued. When the market rate of interest is higher than the stated rate of interest, bonds will sell at a discount so as to increase the effective rate of interest to the market rate. 23) $191,000 Issue price = Face value of $200,000 × 95.5% = $191,000 24) When the market rate is lower than the stated rate, bonds will sell at a premium so as to reduce the effective rate to the market rate. When bonds are sold for more than their face value, the difference between the amount received and the face value is called a bond premium. Bond premiums reduce the effective interest rate. 25) Assets (cash) will increase by $517,500, which is the face value of $500,000 times 103.5%. Liabilities will also increase by $517,500, which is the sum of the increase in the bonds payable account of $500,000 and the increase in the premium on bonds payable account of $17,500. 26) $203,000 Proceeds (issuance price) = Face value of $200,000 × 101.5% = $203,000
Version 1
27
27) Expenses (interest expense) increase and net income decreases on the income statement. Assets (Cash) decrease, liabilities (Carrying Value of Bonds) increase, and stockholder's equity (Retained Earnings) decreases on the balance sheet. The statement of cash flows reports the cash paid for interest as a cash outflow from operating activities. 28) Net income would be lower. A discount acts to increase borrowing cost from the stated interest rate to the effective rate, which is higher. Accordingly, a higher interest expense would yield a lower net income. 29) The amortization of a bond premium decreases the amount of interest expense for an accounting period. This decrease is caused by charging part of the interest payment each period to the bond premium as an amount of premium amortization. 30) Amortization of a bond discount using the effective interest method will cause interest expense to increase over time because interest expense is being recognized on a larger and larger amount of principal each year. 31) The straight-line method involves dividing the total premium or discount by the number of interest payment periods. While the amount of amortization is the same each period, the effective interest changes each period because the carrying value of the bond issue changes. The effective interest method, though more complex, applies a constant interest rate to the carrying value. The interest expense is first computed by multiplying the carrying amount of the bond issue by the effective rate of interest. The amount to be amortized is computed by comparing the interest expense to the cash interest. Accordingly, the interest expense and the amount of discount or premium to be amortized change each time.

32) Bonds usually have longer terms than notes issued to banks. While typical bank loan terms range from 2 to 5 years, bonds normally have 20-year terms to maturity. Longer terms to maturity allow companies to implement long-term strategic plans without having to worry about frequent refinancing arrangements. In addition, bond interest rates may be lower than bank interest rates. By issuing bonds directly to the public, companies can pay lower interest costs. 33) Tax law generally favors debt financing because interest expense is deductible for tax purposes. Dividends paid to shareholders are not deductible for tax purposes. 34) Leverage refers to the concept of increasing earnings through debt financing. If a firm borrows at 6% and earns 10% on assets, the company and its stockholders have benefited from the 4% spread, which is the difference between the two interest rates. 35) a) T b) F c) F d) T e) T 1.a) This is true. Issuing an installment note increases assets (Cash) and liabilities (Notes Payable). 2.b) This is false. Each payment made decreases assets (Cash), liabilities (Notes payable), and stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). 3.c) This is false. The second payment on the note will include less interest expense than did the first payment. 4.d) This is true. The portion of a payment that reduces principal is a cash flow from financing activities, and the portion that is interest is a cash flow from operating activities. 5.e) This is true. As interest expense goes down with each payment, the portion that reduces principal on the liability goes up.

The difference between the effective interest method and the straight-line method is that the effective interest method matches interest expense with the carrying value of the bond. 2.b) This is true. Because amortizing a bond issued at a discount using effective interest matches interest expense with the increasing carrying value of the bond, a company will recognize smaller amounts of interest expense in the first years of a bond’s life and higher amounts in the last years. The straight-line method recognizes equal amounts every year. 3.c) This is false. The carrying value of a bond issued at a premium will decrease by larger and larger amounts each year as interest expense with each payment becomes smaller and smaller. 4.d) This is false.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 10_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) FALSE Installment notes require payments of principal and interest at regular intervals. 2) TRUE Loan amortization describes repaying the principal of a loan, along with interest, over the life of the loan. 3) TRUE Year 1 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $50,000 × 9% = $4,500 4) FALSE Year 1 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $50,000 × 9% = $4,500 Year 1 Principal repayment = Cash payment of $7,791 − Interest of $4,500 = $3,291 5) FALSE Interest expense decreases each year on an installment note as the carrying value of the loan liability declines. 6) FALSE Lines of credit allow companies to borrow flexible, not set, amounts of money as needed, typically for periods of less than one year. 7) FALSE The interest rate on a line of credit fluctuates, depending on when the funds are withdrawn. 8) FALSE Issuers of bonds pay the face value at maturity, and make fixed, not fluctuating, interest payments. Version 1
42
9) FALSE Serial bonds are bonds that have a series of maturity dates. Debentures are bonds that are issued based on the overall strength of the borrower's credit. 10) TRUE There is no requirement that all bonds within a single issue have the same maturity date. 11) TRUE Generally, companies will record a loss on bond redemption when calling bonds because they must pay the bondholders more than the carrying value of the bond liability. 12) FALSE A company's bond rating influences the interest rate the company must pay on future bonds. However, the rating will not affect the interest on bonds already issued. 13) FALSE Amortizing a discount increases liabilities (decreases the contra-liability discount on bonds payable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). 14) TRUE Issuing these bonds will increase cash by $508,000, increase bonds payable by $500,000, and increase the premium on bonds payable by $8,000. 15) FALSE Premium = Issue price of $508,000 − Face value of $500,000 = $8,000 Annual amortization of premium = $8,000 ÷ 5 years = $1,600 Cash payment for interest = Face value of $500,000 × Stated rate of 7% = $35,000 Interest expense = Cash payment of $35,000 − Premium amortization of $1,600 = $33,400 Version 1
43
16) TRUE Bonds are only issued at face value if their stated rate of interest is equal to the market, or effective, rate. 17) TRUE If bonds are issued for less than their face value, they are issued at a discount. 18) TRUE The face value is the amount paid to bondholders at maturity, whether the bonds were issued at a premium, a discount, or face value. 19) FALSE If bonds are issued at a premium, the interest paid to bondholders will exceed the interest expense reported on the income statement. 20) FALSE Cash received from issuance = Face value of $200,000 × 98% = $196,000 21) TRUE The bond issuer will pay the face value to the bondholders at maturity, an amount lower than the issue price. 22) TRUE Bonds are issued at a premium or at a discount when the stated rate is not equal to the rate of similar investments in order to produce an effective rate equal to that of those similar investments. 23) FALSE The effective interest rate method produces a different amount of interest expense every period as the carrying value of the bond liability increases or declines. 24) TRUE The total amount of interest expense is the same regardless of whether the effective interest method or the straight-line method is used. 25) TRUE Version 1
44
Because of the tax benefits of interest, the effective cost of borrowing is less than the cash paid for interest. This is a benefit of debt financing compared with equity financing. 26) FALSE The after-tax interest cost of debt equals total interest expense multiplied by one minus the tax rate. 27) FALSE The times-interest-earned ratio is usually calculated as the ratio of earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) to interest expense. 28) D Issuing a long-term installment note increases the asset account, Cash, and increases the liability account, Notes Payable, for the face value of the note. 29) B Loans that require payments of principal and interest at regular intervals (amortizing loans) are typically represented by installment notes. As the principal balance of the note decreases over time the portion of the payment that is applied to interest expense decreases. However, the amount of the payment remains constant. 30) D When a company issues debt, whether notes or bonds, the company is normally expected to repay the debt, as well as to pay interest to the lender. 31) D Issuing a long-term installment note will increase assets (Cash) and increase liabilities (Notes Payable). The cash proceeds will be reported as a cash inflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 32) B

Interest expense for Year 1 = $5,000 × 5% = $250. The first annual payment of $1,156 will decrease assets (Cash) by $1,156, decrease liabilities (the carrying value of Notes Payable) by $906, which the difference between the payment of $1,156 and the interest expense of$250,and decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $250. It will increase expenses (interest expense) by $250, which will decrease net income. The principal portion of $1,156 of the payment is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities, while the interest portion of $250 will be reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 33) C Carrying value of the note at the beginning of Year 2: $5,000 − $906 (the amount of principal repayment in Year 1) Interest expense for Year 2 = ($5,000 − $906) × 5% = $205 The second annual payment of $1,156 will decrease assets (Cash) by $1,156, decrease liabilities (Notes Payable) by $951, which is the difference between the cash payment of $1,156 and the interest expense of $205,and decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $205. It willincrease expenses (interest expense)by $205, which will decrease net income. The principal portion of $951 of the payment is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities, while the interest portion of $205 will be reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 34) B Year 1 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $166,000 × 8% = $13,280 Year 1 Principal repayment = Payment of $41,576 − Interest portion of $13,280 = $28,296 35) D

Year 1 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $324,000 × 8% = $25,920 Year 1 Principal repayment = Payment of $81,150 − Interest portion of $25,920 = $55,230 36) A The cash payment will decrease assets (Cash), decrease liabilities (Notes Payable) for the amount of the principal repayment, and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income. The principal repayment is reported as a cash outflow from financing activities, while the interest payment is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities. 37) A As the principal balance declines each year, the interest expense becomes smaller, and the amount of principal repayment becomes larger with each subsequent payment. 38) B Year 1 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $22,000 × 11% = $2,420 Year 1 Principal repayment = Payment of $9,003 − Interest expense of $2,420 = $6,583 Principal balance at beginning of year 2 = Principal balance on January 1 of $22,000 − Principal repayment in Year 1 of $6,583 = $15,417 Year 2 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $15,417 × 11% = $1,696 39) B

It is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities. 41) A Year 1 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $2,000 × (4% + 1%) = $100 The interest payment decreases assets (Cash) and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (interest expense), which decreases net income. It is reported as a cash outflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 42) B Balance outstanding at March 31 = $53,000 + $84,000 − $53,000 = $84,000 March Interest expense = Amount outstanding on March 31 of $84,000 × (3% + 3%) × 1/12 = $420.00 43) D Balance outstanding at March 31 = $40,000 + $60,000 − $40,000 = $60,000 March Interest expense = Amount outstanding on March 31 of $60,000 × (2% + 3%) × 1/12 = $250 44) D Version 1

A common type of secured bond is a mortgage bond, which conditionally transfers the title of designated property to the bondholder until the bond is paid. 48) B Convertible bonds are liabilities that can be exchanged at the option of the bondholder for common stock or some other specified ownership interest. 49) A Callable bonds allow the issuing company to redeem (pay off) the bond debt before the maturity date. This is at the option of the issuer (rather than the bondholder). 50) B Version 1

Unless they are within one year of maturity, bonds payable are usually classified as long-term on the balance sheet. 51) C Unsecured bonds, also called debentures, are issued based on the general strength of the borrower’s credit. 52) C If bonds are called at a price above the carrying value of the bond liability, the difference is the call premium. Calling the bonds decreases assets (Cash) by the amount of the call price, decreases liabilities (bonds payable plus any discount or premium remaining) by the amount of the carrying value of the bonds, and decreases stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). It increases expenses (loss on bond redemption) by the amount of the call premium, which decreases net income. The cash outflow is classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. 53) B Issuing a bond at a discount increases assets (Cash) for the issue price of the bond and increases liabilities (Carrying Value of Bond Liability). The carrying value is calculated as bonds payable less the discount on bonds payable. In this transaction, there is an increase to bonds payable for the face value less increase to contra-liability discount on bonds payable for the discount. It is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities. 54) A Proceeds = Face value of $500,000 × 90% = $450,000 Discount = Face value of $500,000 − Proceeds from issuance of $450,000 = $50,000 The issuance will increase cash by $450,000, increase discount on bonds payable, a contra liability account, by $50,000, and increase bonds payable by $500,000.

The event will decrease assets (Cash) by $204,000, decrease liabilities (Bonds Payable) by $200,000, and decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $4,000. 56) B Proceeds = Face value of $200,000 × 97% = $194,000 Assets (cash) increase by $194,000. Liabilities (bonds payable)increase by $200,000 and liabilities (discount on bonds payable, a contra liability account) increase by $6,000 for a net increase in liabilities of $194,000. 57) A When the market rate of interest is lower than the stated rate of interest, bonds will sell at a premium so as to reduce the effective rate to the market rate. On the other hand, when the market rate of interest is higher than the stated rate of interest, bonds will sell at a discount so as to increase the effective rate of interest to the market rate. 58) D Serial bonds have a series of maturity dates so that the repayment of the bonds is accomplished over time. 59) C In addition to requiring collateral, creditors often obtain additional protection by including restrictive covenants in loan agreements. Such covenants may restrict additional borrowing, limit dividend payments, or restrict salary increases. 60) D

While the straight-line method is easy to understand, it is inaccurate because it does not show the correct amount of interest expense incurred during each accounting period. This straight-line recognition pattern is irrational because the amount of interest expense recognized should increase as the carrying value of the bond liability increases. A more accurate recognition pattern can be accomplished by using an approach called the effective interest rate method. 103) D Straight-line amortization of a bond premium decreases the premium by equal amounts each year. As the remaining premium balance decreases, so does the carrying value of the bond. If effective interest amortization is used, the interest expense is smaller each year, so the premium decreases by larger and larger amounts each year. 104) A Version 1

Because interest expense is smaller each year, the amortization of the bond premium increases each year, the carrying value of the bond decreases by larger and larger amounts each year. 110) C One of the main advantages of debt financing is that interest paid on bonds and notes is tax-deductible, while dividends paid on equity financing are not tax-deductible. 111) C The times-interest-earned ratio equals earnings before interest and taxes (called EBIT) divided by interest expense. 112) C Company A: Interest expense = Face value of bonds of $22,000 × 10.0% = $2,200 After-tax cost of debt = Total interest expense of $2,200 × (1.0 − 0.30) = $1,540 Tax savings = $2,200 − $1,540 = $660 The $2,200 cash dividend has no tax savings. Therefore, Company A's retained earnings at the end of Year 1 would be $660 higher than Company B’s. 113) C Version 1

Company A: Interest expense = Face value of bonds of $40,000 × 10% = $4,000 After-tax cost of debt = Total interest expense of $4,000 × (1.0 − 0.30) = $2,800 Tax savings = $4,000 − $2,800 = $1,200 The $4,000 cash dividend has no tax savings. Therefore, Company A's retained earnings at the end of Year 1 would be $1,200 higher than Company B's. 114) B Annual interest expense = Face value of $112,000 × 10% = $11,200 After-tax cost of debt = Total interest expense of $11,200 × (1.0 − 0.40) = $6,720 115) A Annual interest expense = Face value of $200,000 × 10% = $20,000 After-tax cost of debt = Total interest expense of $20,000 × (1.0 − 0.40) = $12,000 116) A The times-interest-earned ratio is based on EBIT rather than net income because it is the amount of earnings before interest and taxes that is available to pay interest. The higher the ratio, the more likely a company will be able to make its interest payments. Higher times-interest-earned ratios suggest lower levels of risk. So, a low times-interest-earned ratio indicates that the company may be at risk of being unable to make required interest payments on its debt. 117) C

When Gates issues bonds, both assets and liabilities will increase by the same amount. Assuming debt was lower than assets before the bond issuance, Gates’ debt-to-assets ratio will go up. When Markham issues common stock, assets and stockholders’ equity will increase. This will cause Markham’s debt-to-assets ratio to go down. 118) D EBIT = Income before taxes of $180,000 + Interest expense of $60,000 = $240,000 Times-interest-earned ratio = EBIT of $240,000 ÷ Interest expense of $60,000 = 4.0 119) D Borrowing cash from Sun Bank will increase assets (Cash) and liabilities (Note payable) on the balance sheet. It has no effect on the income statement. On the statement of cash flows, it is a cash inflow from financing activities. 120) D Year 1 Interest expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $100,000 × 8% = $8,000 Year 1 Principal repayment = Payment of $25,045.65 − Interest expense of $8,000 = $17,045.65 121) B For the month of January, Year 1: Interest Expense = Principal balance on January 1 of $38,000 × 6% × 1/12 = $190 Principal repayment = Payment of $734.65 − Interest expense of $190 = $544.65 122) C

18) 1.Sole Proprietorships are owned by one person and usually are fairly small. The owner is personally accountable for actions taken in the name of the business. 2.A partnership has the benefit of two or more people joining together to share their talents, their capital and the risks of business. Like proprietorships, the owners of partnerships are personally accountable for the actions taken in the name of the business. A partner is often responsible for the actions of the other partners as well. 3.Unlike proprietorships and partnerships, a corporation is designated as a separate legal entity by the state in which it is incorporated. The corporate form allows the potential of obtaining larger sums of capital than other forms. Other advantages of the corporate form are limited liability, continuity, transferability of ownership and professional management. Disadvantages include double taxation, excessive governmental regulation, and complexities in formation. 19) Owner contributions and retained earnings are combined in a single Capital account on the balance sheets of proprietorships. The financial statement format for reporting partnership equity is similar to that used for proprietorships in that contributed capital and retained earnings are combined. However, a separate capital account is maintained for each partner in the business to reflect each partner's ownership interest. The stockholders' equity section of the balance sheet of a corporation is more complex than proprietorships and partnerships. It includes: (1) dollar amounts of the total par value of the various stock accounts, (2) disclosure of other pertinent details, such as number of shares authorized, issued, and outstanding, (3) the paid-in excess account balances, (4) the amount of retained earnings, as well as any appropriations of retained earnings, if applicable, and (5) the cost of any treasury stock, if applicable. Version 1

20) Common stock All corporations issue common stock. Only a fraction of corporations choose to issue preferred stock. 21) Cumulative preferred stock is stock whose dividends accumulate from year to year when dividends are not declared. If dividends are declared, the preferred shareholders must first be paid both current year and any dividends in arrears before the common shareholders can be paid dividends. 22) "Par value" is an arbitrary value assigned to stock when it is authorized. Historically, par value represented the maximum liability of the investor and represents the minimum amount of assets that should be maintained as protection for creditors. 23) 1.When par value common stock is issued, the Common Stock account is increased by the product of the number of shares issued times the par value per share. 2.When stated value common stock is issued, the Common Stock account is increased by the product of the number of shares issued times the stated value per share 3.When no-par stock is issued, the entire amount of the proceeds from the stock issue is recorded in the Common Stock account with no Paidin Excess account required. 24) The number of shares of stock issued and the number of shares of stock outstanding will not always be the same. Authorized stock that has been sold to the public is called issued stock. Outstanding stock (or total issued stock minus treasury stock) is stock owned by investors outside the corporation. The number of shares of stock outstanding will be less than the number issued if a corporation has purchased its own stock as treasury stock. Version 1
24
25) Stockholders’ Equity Treasury stock is a contra equity account. It is deducted from the other equity accounts in determining total stockholders' equity on the balance sheet. 26) When a company buys its own stock, the stock purchased is called treasury stock. 27) Declaration date Although corporations are not required to declare dividends, they are legally obligated to pay dividends once they have been declared. 28) Cash dividends are paid to investors who own the stock on the date of record. 29) After the stock split, the corporation will have 80,000 shares outstanding at a par value of $3.00 per share. After a four-for-one stock split, the number of shares will be four times the number before the split (or 20,000 × 4 = 80,000) and the par value will be one-fourth of what it was before the split (or $12 × 1/4 = $3). 30) Assets = Liabilities + Stockholders' Equity Total paid-in Capital +
Retained Earnings −
A stock dividend is an equity exchange transaction. The company makes a transfer from retained earnings to paid-in capital. Thus, a stock dividend has no overall impact on the accounting equation. 31) Increasing the number of shares of stock can decrease the market price and make it more attractive to investors.
Version 1
25
32) A retained earnings restriction is often called an appropriation. The board of directors may restrict the amount of retained earnings available to distribute as dividends. The restriction may be required by credit agreements, or it may be discretionary. 33) Stock prices for the market as a whole tend to increase when the economy is good and when interest rates are low and/or falling. Future economic expectations also play a role in changes in market prices. The expectations of future success of a company play a major role in the behavior of stock prices. To a lesser degree, financial statement information sometimes has an effect on stock prices. 34) Stock prices for the market as a whole tend to increase when the economy is good and when interest rates are low and/or falling.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 11_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) FALSE Sole proprietorships do not require registration with state government. 2) TRUE A corporation is a separate legal entity from its owners, while a sole proprietorship is not. A corporation must be registered with the state government. 3) TRUE Articles of incorporation normally include the following information: (1) the corporation’s name and proposed date of incorporation; (2) the purpose of the corporation; (3) the location of the business and its expected life (which can be perpetuity, meaning endless); (4) provisions for capital stock; and (5) the names and addresses of the members of the first board of directors, the individuals with the ultimate authority for operating the business. 4) FALSE Double taxation is a significant disadvantage of the corporate form of business organization. 5) TRUE As long as the exchanges (buying and selling of shares of stock, often called trading) are limited to transactions between individuals, a company is defined as a closely held corporation. 6) FALSE The extent of government regulation depends on the size and distribution of ownership interests of the corporation. 7) TRUE

The extensive regulation of trading on stock exchanges began in the 1930s. The 1929 stock market crash led to the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. 8) FALSE The Securities Exchange Act of 1934 created the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) to enforce the securities laws. Congress gave the SEC legal authority to establish accounting principles for corporations that are registered on the exchanges. The Sarbanes–Oxley Act of 2002 established the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB). The PCAOB has the authority to set and enforce auditing, attestation, quality control, and ethics standards for auditors of public companies. 9) TRUE Unlike corporate stockholders, the owners of proprietorships and partnerships are personally liable for actions they take in the name of their companies. In fact, partners are responsible not only for their own actions but also for those taken by any other partner on behalf of the partnership. The benefit of limited liability is one of the most significant reasons limited liability companies and corporations are so popular. 10) TRUE Because proprietorships are not separate taxable entities, company earnings are taxable to the owners rather than the company itself. 11) FALSE Unlike corporate stockholders, the owners of proprietorships and partnerships are personally liable for actions they take in the name of their companies. In fact, partners are responsible not only for their own actions but also for those taken by any other partner on behalf of the partnership. 12) FALSE

The transferability of corporate ownership is an advantage of the corporate form of business organization. 13) FALSE There is only one equity account in a sole proprietorship, the owner’s capital account. Earnings and contributions increase this account and withdrawals decrease it. 14) TRUE Withdrawals are distributions to the owners of sole proprietorships. Dividends are distributions to corporate stockholders. 15) TRUE A separate capital account is maintained for each partner in the business to reflect each partner’s ownership interest. 16) FALSE The book value of a share of stock is calculated as total stockholders’ equity divided by number of shares owned by investors. 17) FALSE The number of shares issued is normally equal to or greater than the number of shares outstanding. 18) FALSE All corporations issue common stock. Many corporations issue preferred stock in addition to common stock. 19) TRUE In exchange for special privileges in some areas, preferred stockholders give up rights in other areas. Preferred stockholders usually have no voting rights. 20) FALSE Preferred stock often has a liquidation value. In case of bankruptcy, preferred stockholders must be paid the liquidation value before any assets are distributed to common stockholders. However, preferred stockholder claims still fall behind creditor claims. Version 1

21) FALSE The common stock account should only be increased by $30,000 (or 5,000 shares × Par value of $6 per share) 22) TRUE Legal capital is the amount of assets that should be maintained as protection for creditors. It is the number of shares multiplied by the par value. Legal capital = Par value of $5 per share × Number of shares issued of 10,000 = $50,000 23) TRUE When no-par common stock is issued, the common stock account is increased by the entire amount received in the stock issue, which in this case is $250,000 (or 10,000 Shares × Issue price of $25 per share). 24) TRUE Reducing the number of outstanding shares of stock is a way to elevate the market price. 25) TRUE The purchase of treasury stock is an asset use transaction that decreases assets (cash) and decreases stockholders’ equity (by increasing treasury stock, a contra equity account). 26) TRUE Treasury stock is a contra equity account. It is deducted from the other equity accounts in determining total stockholders’ equity. 27) FALSE Treasury stock is reported within the stockholders’ equity section of the balance sheet after retained earnings. 28) FALSE Although corporations are not required to declare dividends, they are legally obligated to pay dividends once they have been declared. They must recognize a liability on the declaration date. Version 1
36
29) TRUE In a 2-for-1 stock split, the par value and market price per share will be cut in half, and the number of outstanding shares will double. 30) TRUE The board of directors may restrict the amount of retained earnings available to distribute as dividends. A retained earnings restriction, often called an appropriation, is an equity exchange event. It transfers a portion of existing retained earnings to appropriated retained earnings. 31) FALSE The price-earnings ratio is the most commonly reported measure of a company’s value. 32) TRUE A high price-earnings ratio is the result of a high market price relative to a company’s earnings per share, and indication that investors are optimistic about the company’s future earnings. 33) FALSE This is false. Creditors have priority in business liquidations. This means the business uses its assets first to settle the obligations to the creditors. Any assets remaining after the creditors have been paid are then distributed to the investors. 34) C A corporation is a separate legal entity created by the authority of a state government. 35) A

Corporations pay income taxes on their earnings and then owners pay income taxes on distributions (dividends) received from corporations. As a result, distributed corporate profits are taxed twice—first when income is reported on the corporation's income tax return and a second time when distributions are reported on individual owners’ tax returns. This phenomenon is commonly called double taxation and is a significant disadvantage of the corporate form of business organization. 36) D Few laws specifically affect the operations of proprietorships and partnerships. Corporations, however, are heavily regulated. 37) D Cash withdrawals (that is, annual distributions): Fred: $8,000 × $10% = $800 Barney: $16,500 × $10% = $1,650 Allocation of remaining income of $17,550 (or $20,000 − $800 − $1,650): Fred: $17,550 × 50% = $8,775 Barney: $17,550 × 50% = $8,775 Split of net income of $20,000: Fred: $8,775 + $800 = $9,575 Barney: $8,775 + $1,650 = $10,425 38) D

The benefit of limited liability is one of the most significant reasons limited liability companies and corporations are so popular. 40) A When stock is issued, any amount received above the par or stated value is recorded in an account called Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par (or Stated) Value. Only a corporation issues stock; thus, only corporations have this type of account. 41) B Corporations are separate legal entities and pay income taxes on their earnings. Since sole proprietorships and partnerships are not separate legal entities, company earnings are taxable to the owners rather than to the company itself. 42) D When a company has negative shareholders’ equity, it is usually because of a negative balance in Retained Earnings. 43) C Version 1

Corporations are more able to raise capital because they can issue common stock to a large number of potential investors. In contrast, the capital resources of proprietorships and partnerships are limited to a relatively small number of private owners. Although proprietorships and partnerships can also obtain resources by borrowing, the amount creditors are willing to lend them is usually limited by the size of the owners’ net worth. Of the three business forms, only corporations are separate legal entities that continue to exist regardless of changes in ownership. Only corporations are subject to double taxation. And, only corporations issue capital stock. 44) D Ending capital = Beginning capital + Contributions− Withdrawals + Net income Ending capital = $0 + $27,000 − $4,400 + $3,200 = $25,800 45) D Ending capital = Beginning capital + Contributions − Withdrawals + Net income Ending capital = $0 + $75,000 − $12,000 + $18,000 = $81,000 46) B As part of the regulatory function, states approve the maximum number of shares of stock that corporations are legally permitted to issue. This maximum number is called authorized stock. 47) D Par value is an arbitrary value assigned to stock by the board of directors; like stated value, par value designates legal capital. 48) B Preferred stockholders do not have voting rights. 49) D
Version 1

Par value is an arbitrary value assigned to stock by the board of directors; like stated value, par value designates legal capital. On the other hand, market value is the price at which securities sell in the secondary market. Thus, par value has little connection to market value. 50) B Assets (Cash) andstockholders’ equity (Common Stock) increase by $800,000 (or 20,000 shares × $40 per share). The cash inflow is reported in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. 51) B Assets (Cash) and stockholders’ equity (Common Stock) increase by $480,000 (or 12,000 shares × $40 per share). The cash inflow is reported in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. 52) D The cash account will increase by $391,000 (23,000 × $17), the common stock account will increase by $345,000 (23,000 × $15 par value), and the paid-in capital in excess of par value account will increase by $46,000 (23,000 × $2). 53) D The cash account will increase by $220,000 (20,000 × $11), the common stock account will increase by $200,000 (20,000 × $10 par value), and the paid-in capital in excess of par value account will increase by $20,000 (20,000 × $1). 54) C The event increases assets (cash) and stockholders’ equity. Assets (Cash) increase by $8,250 (550 shares × $15). The increase in stockholders’ equity is divided into two parts. Common stock increases by $6,600 (550 shares × $12 par value) and paid-in excess of par value − common increases by $1,650 ($8,250 − $6,600). The cash inflow is a financing activity. 55) A Version 1
41
Assets (Cash) and stockholders’ equity (Common Stock) increase by $153,000 (or 9,000 shares × $17 per share). The cash inflow of $153,000 is reported in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. The price an investor must pay to purchase a share of stock is the market value. Published financial statements report historical information, in this case, the company’s paid-in capital is recorded at the issue price of $17 per share. In other words, the increase in market price following the issuance does not affect the company’s financial statements. 56) C The par value (or stated value) of the stock is recorded in the Common Stock account. Any amount received above the par value (or stated value) is recorded in the Paid-in Capital in Excess of Par (or Stated) Value account. 57) C The event increases assets and stockholders’ equity by $1,776,000 (or $37 per share × 48,000 shares). The increase in stockholders’ equity is divided into two parts, $480,000 of par value (or $10 per share × 48,000 shares) and $1,296,000 ($1,776,000 − $480,000) received in excess of par value. 58) A The event increases assets and stockholders’ equity by $640,000 (or $32 per share × 20,000 shares). The increase in stockholders’ equity is divided into two parts, $400,000 of par value (or $20 per share × 20,000 shares) and $240,000 ($640,000 − $400,000) received in excess of par value. 59) B Treasury stock is a contra equity account. It is deducted from the other equity accounts in determining total stockholders’ equity. 60) A Version 1

Common stock account balance of $1,295,000 = Number of shares issued (the unknown) × Par value of $7 per share Number of shares issued = $1,295,000 ÷ $7 = 185,000 61) C Common stock account balance of $660,000 = Number of shares issued (the unknown) × Par value of $8 per share Number of shares issued = $660,000 ÷ $8 = 82,500 62) A Stockholders’ equity = Common stock of $7,200 + Paid-in capital in excess of par value of $9,100 + Retained earnings of $8,000 − Treasury stock of $5,000 = $19,300 63) D Stockholders’ equity = Common stock of $12,000 + Paid-in capital in excess of par value of $11,000 + Retained earnings of $12,000 − Treasury stock of $4,000 = $31,000 64) C Treasury stock is a contra equity account. It is deducted from the other equity accounts in determining total stockholders’ equity. 65) C Assets (Cash) decrease and stockholders’ equity decreases (by increasing Treasury Stock, a contra equity account) by $6,000 (or 200 shares × Cost of $30 per share). The cash outflow is reported in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. 66) A Assets (Cash) increase by $7,000 (200 × $35), Stockholders’ Equity (Treasury Stock) increases by $5,000 (200 × $25) and (Paid-In Capital in Excess of Cost from Treasury Stock) increases by $2,000. The cash inflow is reported in the Financing Activities section of the statement of cash flows. 67) D Version 1

Common reasons include (1) to have stock available to give employees pursuant to stock option plans, (2) to accumulate stock in preparation for a merger or business combination, (3) to reduce the number of shares outstanding in order to increase earnings per share, (4) to keep the price of the stock high when it appears to be falling, and (5) to avoid a hostile takeover. 68) A Common stock is reported at $4,000 (or 200 Shares issued × Par value of $20 per share). Paid-in capital in excess of par value–Common is reported at $6,000 [or 200 Shares issued × $30 (Original issue price of $50 per share − Par value of $20 per share)]. The Treasury Stock account is a contra equity account that is deducted from the other equity accounts in determining total stockholders’ equity. It is reported at $3,300 (or 75 Shares purchased × Purchase price of $44 per share). 69) C Treasury stock is a contra equity account. It is deducted from the other equity accounts in determining total stockholders’ equity. 70) D Outstanding stock (total issued stock minus treasury stock) is stock owned by investors outside the corporation. Outstanding shares = 66,000 Issued shares − 10,500 Treasury shares = 55,500 71) C Outstanding stock (total issued stock minus treasury stock) is stock owned by investors outside the corporation. Outstanding shares = 50,000 Issued shares − 10,000 Treasury shares = 40,000 72) D Version 1

The increase in liabilities (Dividends Payable) is accompanied by a decrease in stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings). Since cash has not yet been paid to the stockholders, there is no effect on the statement of cash flows. 73) D Dividends declared = Par value of $50 per share × 6% × 1,500 Outstanding shares = $4,500 The declaration will increase liabilities (Dividends Payable) and decrease stockholders’ equity (Retained Earnings) by $4,500. Since cash has not yet been paid to the stockholders, there is no effect on the statement of cash flows. 74) B The payment will decrease assets (Cash) and liabilities (Dividends Payable). It is reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. 75) A Price-Earnings Ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share The declaration of a cash dividend increases liabilities (dividends payable) and decreases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). Because the liabilities and stockholders’ equity are not components of this ratio, the declaration of the dividend, in itself, has no effect on it. 76) B

Price-Earnings Ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share A common stock dividend increases the number of shares of stock outstanding. Because a greater number of shares represents the same ownership interest in the same amount of assets, the market value per share of a company’s stock normally declines as a result of a stock dividend. In addition, because a greater number of shares will be outstanding, the EPS will decline. Thus, the declines affect both the numerator and denominator. To determine how the declines affect the P/E ratio itself, additional information (i.e., the current market price and EPS, and the stock dividend percentage) would be required. 83) A A stock dividend is an equity exchange transaction. Stock dividends decrease retained earnings and increase common stock and paid-incapital in excess of par value. The income statement and statement of cash flows are not affected. 84) D A stock dividend is an equity exchange transaction. A stock dividend decreases retained earnings, increases common stock, and increases paid-in capital in excess of par value–common stock. There is no effect on total stockholders’ equity. 85) A A stock split has no effect on the dollar amounts of assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity. It only affects the number of shares of stock outstanding and the par value per share. A 2-for-1 stock split decreases the par value per share by one-half and replaces each existing share with two new shares. Because twice as many shares now represent the same ownership interest, the market value per share should be one-half as much as it was prior to the split. 86) B

It only affects the number of shares of stock outstanding and the par value per share. The balance of the common stock account before the stock split equals $12,000 (or 1,000 shares × Par value of $12 per share).

The balance of the common stock account after the stock split also equals $30,000 (or 10,000 shares × $3 per share). 92) D The appropriation shifts $36,000 from retained earnings to appropriated retained earnings. In other words, retained earnings decreases by $36,000 and appropriated retained earnings increases by $36,000. 93) B The company can pay a maximum dividend of $7,700,000, which is the amount of unrestricted retained earnings. 94) B The company can pay a maximum dividend of $600,000, which is the amount of unrestricted retained earnings. 95) C Number of shares issued = 20,000 Outstanding shares × Stock dividend of 7.5% = 1,500 Increase in Common stock = 1,500 Shares issued × Stated value of $10 per share = $15,000 Increase in Paid-in capital in excess of par value–common = 1,500 Shares issued × (Market value of $50 − Stated value of $10) = $60,000 Decrease in Retained earnings = 1,500 shares issued × Market value of $50 per share = $75,000 96) A

Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Number of shares of common stock outstanding Earnings per share = $650,000 ÷ 500,000 shares = $1.30 per share Price-Earnings Ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share Price-Earnings Ratio = $22 ÷ $1.30 = 16.9 102) A After a public announcement like this, the market price of Burton’s stock is likely to increase immediately. While revenues are expected to increase by 20% over the next three years, this does not mean that cash flow from operations will increase by the same percentage. The announcement does not trigger any immediate recognition on the company’s financial statements. 103) D Companies with a history of paying dividends usually continue to pay dividends. Also, to pay dividends in the future, a company must have sufficient cash and retained earnings. 104) B Many investors will sell their stock if they fear that revenue and earnings growth in the future will not be as great as they have been in the past. (In other words, investors expect the stock price to fall when this happens.) Increases in a company’s stock price occur when investors believe the company’s earnings will grow. An increase in the market price of stock could be due to past or expected future performance of a company or due to general optimism about the economy in general. Increase in interest rates would not be a reason for the market price of the corporation to increase. 105) A Price-Earnings Ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share 106) B

Creditors receive first priority in asset distribution during a business liquidation. Therefore, creditors would collect the $120,000 owed to them, leaving the shareholders with the remaining $80,000 ($70,000 common stock + $10,000 retained earnings). 107) C If a business ceases to operate, its remaining assets are sold and the sale proceeds are returned to the creditors and investors through a process called business liquidation. 108) A Negative retained earnings occurs when the company’s expenses have been greater than the provided resources, resulting in a loss of owners' equity. 109) A When expenses are greater than revenues there is a net loss. When revenues are greater than expenses there is net income.

6) (D) (NA) (I) (NA) Loss on sale = Proceeds of $17,000 − Book value of $20,000 = $3,000 The $17,000 cash received from the sale of equipment is reported as a cash inflow in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows. The $3,000 loss on the sale reduces net income but does not affect cash flows for operating activities. 7) (NA) (NA) (D) (NA) The $8,000 paid for the land is reported as a cash outflow in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows. The issuance of the note for $17,000 (or Purchase price of $25,000 − Cash paid of $8,000) is a noncash investing and financing activity, which is reported in the schedule of noncash investing and financing activities. 8) (NA) (NA) (NA) (D) Cash dividends are reported as a cash outflow in the financing activities section of the statement of cash flows. 9) (NA) (D) (NA) (NA) Cash paid for interest is a cash outflow reported in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows.

11) (I) (I) (NA) (NA) Cash flows reported as operating activities include cash receipts from revenues, including dividend revenue. The receipt of dividends on an investment increases net income and is reported as a cash inflow in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. 12) (D) (NA) (NA) (NA) Insurance expense decreases net income but does not affect cash flows. There was no cash payment to purchase insurance and thus there is no cash outflow reported in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows. 13) The direct method shows the specific sources and uses of cash that are associated with operating activities. It does not show adjustments to net income. The amount of net cash flow from operating activities is the same whether it is presented using the indirect or the direct method. 14) Examples include but are not limited to the following: acquiring a long-term asset in exchange for common stock and acquiring land by issuing a mortgage note payable. 15) Direct method Because people typically find the direct method easier to understand, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recommends it. 16) Indirect method Most companies use the indirect method because it is easier to prepare. 17) The statement of cash flows provides information about cash coming into and going out of a business during an accounting period. 18) Operating, investing, and financing

19) The direct method shows the specific sources and uses of cash that are associated with operating activities. Because people typically find the direct method easier to understand, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) recommends it. 20) It is easier to prepare the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method. 21) Depreciation expense is not included on the statement of cash flows when using the direct method. Because noncash expenses are deducted in determining net income, they must be added to net income when computing net cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method. The calculation of accrual-based net income frequently includes noncash expenses such as depreciation expense. 22) The direct method and the indirect method. 23) The indirect method begins with the amount of net income as reported on the income statement. 24) Increases in current liabilities are added to net income to determine the cash flow from operating activities. 25) Yes. The timing of recognition of revenues and expenses does not correspond exactly with the receipt and payment of cash. Thus, it is possible to have a negative cash flow and a positive net income or viceversa. 26) Noncash investing and financing activities, such as a noncash purchase of equipment, are reported on the schedule of noncash investing and financing activities that accompanies the statement of cash flows.
Version 1
27
27) The accrual-based net income figure must be converted to a cashbasis equivalent to arrive at net cash flow from operating activities. Noncash expenses, such as depreciation and losses on sales of long-term assets, reduce net income but are added back to convert net income to net cash flow from operating activities. Most of the other differences between revenue and expense recognition and cash flows are related to changes in the balances of the noncash current assets and current liabilities. 28) Understanding the cash flows of a business is essential because cash is used to pay the bills. A company, especially one experiencing rapid growth, can be short of cash despite earning substantial net income. A business cannot survive without managing cash flow carefully. 29) a) T b) F c) T d) T e) F 1.a) This is true. The purchase of treasury stock is a financing activity. 2.b) This is false.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 12_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) FALSE Cash flows reported as operating activities include cash receipts from revenues, including interest and dividend revenue. 2) FALSE The cash received from the sale, not the loss, is reported in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows. 3) TRUE Cash flows reported as investing activities include cash receipts (inflows) from selling property, plant, equipment, or marketable securities, as well as collections from credit instruments such as notes or mortgages receivable. Cash flows reported as investing activities include cash payments (outflows) for purchasing property, plant, equipment, or marketable securities, as well as for making loans to borrowers. 4) TRUE Cash flows reported as financing activities include cash payments (outflows) to repay debt, purchase treasury stock, and pay dividends. 5) TRUE Noncash investing and financing activities, such as the purchase of property by issuing a mortgage note, are reported in the schedule of noncash investing and financing activities. 6) TRUE The statement of cash flows reports operating, investing, and financing activities, in that order. 7) FALSE The last line of the statement of cash flows reports the ending cash balance. Version 1

8) TRUE Many aspects of accrual accounting, such as recognizing revenues and expenses on account, can cause differences between the amount of net income reported on a company’s income statement and the amount of net cash flow it reports from operating activities. 9) FALSE The increase in accounts receivable indicates that the company collected $26,000 less from customers than it recorded in credit sales. Therefore, collections would have been $474,000 (or $500,000 − $26,000). 10) TRUE Ending balance of utilities payable of $1,500 = Beginning balance of utilities payable of $2,500 + Increase due to utilities expense of $18,200 − Decrease due to payment of utilities payable (the unknown) Outflow for payment of utilities = $2,500 + $18,200 − $1,500 = $19,200 11) TRUE Ending balance of unearned revenue of $4,000 = Beginning balance of unearned revenue of $12,000 + Increase due to cash collected in advance (the unknown) − Decrease due to services provided to customers of $258,000 Cash collected in advance from customers = $4,000 − $12,000 + $258,000 = $250,000 12) TRUE TheFASB continues to advocate the direct method. 13) FALSE The indirect method starts with net income. 14) TRUE Decreases in noncash current assets are added to and increases in noncash current assets are subtracted from net income to determine net cash flow from operating activities. Version 1
40
15) FALSE Increases in noncash current liabilities are added to and decreases in noncash current liabilities are subtracted from net income to determine net cash flow from operating activities. 16) FALSE Noncash expenses and losses are added to and gains are subtracted from net income to determine net cash flow from operating activities. 17) TRUE A company, especially one experiencing rapid growth, can be short of cash despite earning substantial net income. 18) TRUE A company, especially one experiencing rapid growth, can be short of cash despite earning substantial net income. 19) FALSE TheFASB prohibits companies from disclosing cash flow per share in audited financial statements.

Depreciation expense is a noncash expense. 24) FALSE Increases in accounts receivable are deducted from credit sales to determine cash collections from customers. 25) B Even though interest expense is reported as a nonoperating expense after operating income on the income statement, interest paid is reported as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows. 26) A Cash flows reported as operating activities include cash receipts from revenues, including interest revenue. 27) C Cash paid for the purpose of any long-term asset, such as land, is reported as an investing activity. 28) D Gain on sale = Proceeds of $60,000 − Book value of $48,000 = $12,000 Because the gain increased net income, but did not provide cash from operating activities, it is subtracted from net income to arrive at cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method. Cash flows reported as investing activities include cash receipts (inflows) from selling land. 29) B Cash flows reported as financing activities include cash receipts (inflows) from borrowing money. 30) B Cash flows reported as financing activities include cash receipts (inflows) from borrowing money. 31) B

Cash flows reported as financing activities include cash receipts (inflows) from borrowing money and issuing stock and cash payments (outflows) to repay debt, purchase treasury stock, and pay dividends. Cash flows reported as operating activities include cash payments for expenses, including interest expense. 42) D The statement of cash flows displays the activities (operating, investing, and financing) that caused the cash balance to change during the accounting period. The beginning cash balance is then added to the amount of the change in the cash balance with the result being the ending cash balance. 43) B Companies do engage in purchasing activities that affect cash flows. However, the associated cash flows are shown as components of the broader classification scheme used for the statement of cash flows. For example, cash outflow for the purchase of inventory would go in the operating activities section or the cash paid to purchase equipment would be shown in the financing activities section. There is no specific section titled "purchasing activities" used in the statement of cash flows. 44) B There are several rules for converting net income to cash flow from operations. One of these rules is that a decrease in the balance of any noncash current asset account must be added back to the amount of net income to arrive at the cash flow from operations. Since prepaid rent is a noncash current asset account, the decrease in the balance of this account must be added to the amount of net income to determine the cash flow from operating activities. 45) D

Two conversion rules apply to this exercise: (1) an increase in the balance of any noncash current asset account must be subtracted from the amount of net income to arrive at the cash flow from operations, (2) an increase in the balance of any current liability account must be added back to the amount of net income to arrive at the cash flow from operations. Applying these rules to the information provided in this exercise results in a cash flow from operations of $52,000 ($50,000 Net income − $4,000 increase in accounts receivable + $6,000 increase in accounts payable). 46) A Four conversion rules apply to this exercise: (1) an increase in the balance of any noncash current asset account must be subtracted from the amount of net income to arrive at the cash flow from operations, (2) a decrease in the balance of any current liability account must be subtracted from the amount of net income to arrive at the cash flow from operations, (3) noncash expenses must be added back to the amount of net income to arrive at the cash flow from operations, and (4) gains must be subtracted from the amount of net income to arrive at the cash flow from operations. Applying these rules to the information provided in this exercise results in a cash flow from operations of $114,000 ($120,000 Net income − $7,000 increase in accounts receivable − $6,000 decrease in unearned revenue + $15,000 depreciation expense − $8,000 gain on sale of equipment). 47) B Depreciation expense decreases net income, but it is a noncash expense. 48) B

The purchase of equipment for $36,000 cash is reported as a cash outflow in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows. Depreciation expense of $9,000 decreases net income, but this noncash expense does not impact cash flows. 49) D Simply signing a contract does not affect the income statement or the statement of cash flows. It is not recorded in Mayer's financial statements. 50) A Interest expense = $22,500 × 6% × 4/12 = $450 Interest expense of $450 decreases net income, but the accrual of interest expense is not reported on the statement of cash flows because no interest is paid in Year 1. The $15,500 cash paid as a down payment on the equipment is reported as a cash outflow in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows. The issuance of the note for $22,500 is a noncash investing and financing activity, which is reported in the schedule of noncash investing and financing activities. 51) B Cash flows reported as investing activities include cash receipts (inflows) from selling property, plant, equipment (item 4), or marketable securities, as well as collections from credit instruments such as notes or mortgages receivable. Cash flows reported as investing activities also include cash payments (outflows) for purchasing property, plant, equipment, or marketable securities, as well as for making loans to borrowers. The other items listed (2, 3, and 4) are cash flows reported as financing activities. 52) B The total of operating, investing, and financing activities is equal to the net change in cash. It is then added to the beginning cash balance to arrive at the ending cash balance for the period. Version 1

53) D Cash flows reported as financing activities include cash payments (outflows) to pay dividends. The other choices do not affect cash, and therefore do not affect cash flows. 54) A The statement of cash flows reports operating, investing, and financing activities, in that order. 55) D Because none of the events described affect cash, none of them affect cash flows. 56) D Year 2: Ending balance of wages payable of $72,600 = Beginning balance of wages payable of $52,800 + Increase due to wages expense of $372,000 − Decrease due to payment of wages payable (the unknown) Outflow for payment of wages = $52,800 + $372,000 − $72,600 = $352,200 57) C Year 2: Ending balance of wages payable of $22,000 = Beginning balance of wages payable of $16,000 + Increase due to wages expense of $160,000 − Decrease due to payment of wages payable (the unknown) Outflow for payment of wages = $16,000 + $160,000 − $22,000 = $154,000 58) D

Recognizing revenue earned on account increases both assets and stockholders' equity. Accounts receivable is debited because the transaction increases assets. Revenue is credited because the transaction increases stockholders' equity (retained earnings). On the income statement, revenue increases which increases net income. There is no effect on the statement of cash flows because it is not a cash transaction (i.e. revenue was earned on account). 3)

In the past, the company received payment for services that it had not provided which created the liability account, Unearned Revenue. Now the company has provided the services, which means it has earned the revenue and settled the obligation. Making an adjustment to recognize revenue (that was previously unearned) decreases liabilities and increases stockholders' equity. Because debits decrease liabilities, the decrease in liabilities (Unearned Revenue) is recorded with a debit, and because credits increase stockholders' equity, the increase to stockholders' equity (Service Revenue) is recorded with a credit. On the income statement, revenue increases which increases net income.

18) Credits decrease asset accounts. Credits increase stockholders' equity accounts. Debits increase asset accounts; credits decrease asset accounts. Debits decrease liability and stockholders' equity accounts; credits increase liability and stockholders' equity accounts. 19) "Debit" means the left side of an account and refers to increases in asset, expense, and dividend accounts and decreases in revenue, liability, and stockholders' equity accounts. "Credit" means the right side of the account and refers to increases in revenues, liabilities, and stockholders' equity accounts and decreases in asset, expense, and dividend accounts. 20) Credits Debits decrease liability and stockholders' equity accounts; credits increase liability and stockholders' equity accounts. 21) Accounts Payable Accounts Payable, a liability account, is increased with a credit. Supplies, an asset account, is increased with a debit. 22) A trial balance is an internal accounting schedule that ensures that debits and credits are equal. Debit balances are listed in one column, and credit balances are listed in an adjacent column. The columns are totaled and the totals are compared. If the debit total does not equal the credit total, the accountant knows to search for an error. Equal debits and credits in a trial balance provide evidence rather than proof of accuracy. Even if the totals are equal, however, there may be errors in the accounting records. 23) Revenue, expense and dividend accounts are referred to as temporary accounts because information is held in these accounts temporarily. The balance in temporary accounts is closed at the end of the period (i.e. transferred to retained earnings) making these accounts have a zero balance at the beginning of each period. Version 1

24) Revenues, expenses, and dividends are temporary accounts and are closed at the end of the accounting period. These accounts are called temporary accounts. Note that dividends are not reported on either the income statement or the balance sheet. 25) a) F b) F c) T d) T e) F 1.a) This is false. Settling (or paying) accounts payable decreases this liability account. Decreases to liability accounts are recorded with debits rather than credits. 2.b) This is false. Payment of a cash expense decreases assets and stockholders' equity. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Cash) is recorded with a credit; because debits decrease stockholders' equity, the decrease in stockholders' equity (Expense) is recorded with a debit. 3.c) This is true. Debits are always entered on the left, and credits on the right. 4.d) This is true. Credit entries decrease asset accounts. 5.e) This is false. Increases to revenues increase stockholders' equity and should be recorded with credits (rather than debits).

26) a) F b) F c) T d) T e) F 1.a) This is false. A liability account is increased with a credit (rather than a debit). 2.b) This is false. When closing a revenue account, the credit balance in the revenue account is moved to the retained earnings account by debiting the revenue account to close it. The corresponding credit to retained earnings increases the balance in that account. 3.c) This is true. Debits decrease stockholders' equity. 4.d) This is true. Assets are decreased with credits. 5.e) This is false. Debits to the Cash account increase cash and would be reported as cash inflows on the statement of cash flows. 27) a)T b) F c) T d) T e) F 1.a) This is true. In a double-entry system, every journal entry includes at least one debit and one credit entry. 2.b) This is false. The double-entry format records each event separately although there are at least two components in each event. 3.c) This is true. Every journal entry must include equal debits and credits. 4.d) This is true. Thus, a decrease to an asset account may also include a decrease to a stockholders' equity account. For example, paying cash for salaries decreases assets (cash) with a credit and increases expenses (salaries expense). The debit to salaries expense actually decreases stockholders' equity (retained earnings). 5.e) This is false. Erroneous entries may still be entered into the accounting records, such as the following: the failure to record transactions; misclassifications, such as debiting the wrong account; or, incorrectly recording the amount of a transaction.
Version 1

28) a) T b)F c) F d) T e) T 1.a) This is true. An asset source transaction increases an asset, which would be recorded as a debit. This may be accompanied by an increase to stockholders' equity, which would be recorded with a credit. Examples include providing services for cash or on account. 2.b) This is false. An asset use transaction decreases an asset, which would be recorded as a credit (rather than a debit). This may be accompanied by a debit to a liability, which would decrease the liability. An example includes paying cash to settle accounts payable. 3.c) This is false. A credit to the Common Stock account would increase it. For example, the issuance of common stock for cash is an asset source transaction (rather than an asset use transaction) that increases Cash and increases Common Stock. 4.d) This is true. The payment of rent in advance is an asset exchange transaction that increases prepaid rent with a debit and decreases cash with a credit. 5.e) This is true. Recognition of rent expense, when payment had been made in advance, includes a debit to rent expense and a credit to prepaid rent. Both assets and stockholders' equity decrease.

The entry to record the purchase of supplies involves a debit to supplies (to increase that asset account) and a credit to cash (to decrease that asset account). 2.b) This is true. Expenses are recorded with debits because expenses decrease stockholders' equity. Decreases to assets are recorded with credits. The entry to record the use of supplies involves a debit to supplies expense and a credit to supplies. 3.c) This is false. An asset use transaction involves a decrease to assets, which is recorded with a credit. 4.d) This is false. A debit to an asset account and a credit to a liability would describe an asset source transaction (rather than an asset exchange transaction). 5.e) This is true. A claims exchange transaction may involve a debit to a liability (decreasing it) and a credit to revenue stockholders' equity (increasing it). This entry would be made when recognizing revenue that had been collected in advance (and deferred).

All adjusting entries increase expenses (debit) or increase revenue (credit). 4.d) This is true. The closing entry for an expense decreases both the expense and the retained earnings account and involves a debit to retained earnings and a credit to the expense. 5.e) This is true.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 13_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) TRUE This is true. A fiscal year can be a calendar year; however, instead of using a calendar year, companies whose business is highly seasonal often choose “slow” periods to end their fiscal year. 2) FALSE This is false. A fiscal year can be a calendar year; however, instead of using a calendar year, companies whose business is highly seasonal often choose “slow” periods to end their fiscal year. 3) FALSE This is false. A chart of accounts is a list of a company's ledger accounts and their account numbers. 4) TRUE This is true. To simplify recordkeeping, businesses rely on source documents, such as cash register tapes, invoices, timecards, check registers, and deposit tickets. Data from source documents are initially recorded in journals and then they are entered into ledger accounts in the general ledger. 5) FALSE This is false. Journals provide a chronological record of business transactions. Transactions are recorded in journals before they are entered into ledger accounts. The collection of all the accounts used by a particular business is called the general ledger. 6) FALSE This is false. The chart of accounts is a list of all ledger accounts and their account numbers. 7) FALSE Version 1
56
This is false. Because dividends decrease stockholders’ equity (retained earnings), dividends normally carry a debit balance. The normal balance of an account is the side on which increases are recorded. 8) TRUE This is true. A liability account normally has a credit balance because increases to liabilities are recorded as credits. 9) TRUE This is true. Decreases to retained earnings are recorded as debits because stockholders’ equity is being decreased. 10) TRUE This is true. The left side of a T-account is the debit side. The right side is the credit side. 11) FALSE This is false. Debits increase asset accounts. 12) FALSE This is false. An increase to a liability account is recorded as a credit (rather than a debit). 13) TRUE This is true. Every entry must include at least one debit and at least one credit. 14) FALSE This is false. Office supplies are an asset and an asset is increased with a debit. Therefore, the purchase of office supplieson account would include a debit to the Supplies account (as well as a credit to accounts payable). 15) FALSE This is false. Accepting cash in advance from a customer creates an obligation to provide future services to the customer. The company will recognize a liability called unearned revenue by increasing that account with a credit. Version 1
57
16) TRUE This is true. An asset is increased in an asset source transaction, so the asset account is debited and the liability or stockholders’ equity account is credited. 17) FALSE This is false. This describes an asset exchange transaction (rather than an asset source transaction). 18) FALSE This is false. Accruing liabilities increases expenses and liabilities; no assets are involved. 19) TRUE This is true. Recognizing revenue earned on account increasesassets (debit accounts receivable) and increases stockholders’ equity (credit revenue). 20) TRUE This is true. Companies whose business is highly seasonal often choose “slow” periods to end their fiscal year. 21) TRUE This is true. Unrecorded accruals and deferrals must be recognized before the financial statements can be prepared. 22) TRUE This is true. Closing entries zero out temporary accounts and transfer the balances to the Retained Earnings account. 23) FALSE This is false. The chart of accounts is a list of all ledger accounts and their account numbers. A trial balance is an internal accounting schedule that ensures that debits and credits are equal. 24) TRUE This is true. The adjusted trial balance is used to prepare the income statement and the balance sheet. Version 1
58
25) FALSE This is false. Some companies prepare a trial balance daily; others may prepare one monthly, quarterly, or annually, depending on the needs of management. 26) TRUE This is true. Even if the debit and credit totals on the trial balance are equal, there may be errors in the accounting records. For example, equal trial balance totals would not disclose errors like the following: failure to record transactions; misclassifications (such as debiting the wrong account); or incorrectly recording the amount of a transaction. 27) TRUE This is true. Transactions are first recorded in the journal, and then posted to the ledger. 28) FALSE This is false. A company’s temporary accounts include revenues, expenses, and dividends. Dividends do not appear on the income statement. Dividends appear on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. 29) FALSE This is false. After transactions are initially recorded in a journal, the dollar amounts of each debit and credit are copied into the ledger accounts through a process called posting. 30) A Assets, such as prepaid insurance, normally have a debit balance; that is, debits increase those accounts. Liabilities, such as unearned revenue and accounts payable, normally have a credit balance; that is, credits increase those accounts. Stockholders’ equity accounts, such as common stock, normally have a credit balance; that is, credits increase those accounts. 31) B Version 1
59
A balance sheet reports assets, liabilities, and stockholders’ equity as of a selected date (usually the end of an accounting period). Cash and accounts receivable are asset accounts. Retained earnings is a stockholders' equity account. 32) A Asset, expense, and dividend accounts normally have debit balances; liability, stockholders’ equity, and revenue accounts normally have credit balances. Asset accounts include cash and accounts receivable. Dividends have a normal debit balance and appear on the statement of changes in stockholders’ equity. 33) B The left side of an account is the debit side. 34) A The right side of an account is the credit side. 35) D For any given account, the difference between the total debit and credit amounts is the account balance. 36) D Debits increase asset accounts; credits decrease asset accounts. Debits decrease liability and stockholders’ equity accounts; credits increase liability and stockholders’ equity accounts. 37) D Beginning balance of accounts receivable + Sales on account − Collections on account = Ending balance of accounts receivable $54,000 + $120,000 − Cash collected on account = $27,000 Cash collected on account = $147,000 38) A

Beginning balance of accounts receivable + Sales on account − Collections on account = Ending balance of accounts receivable $32,000 + $88,000 − Cash collected on account = $16,000 Cash collected on account = $104,000 39) D Land, an asset, is increased with a debit, and cash, another asset, is decreased with a credit. 40) C Debits increase asset accounts; credits decrease asset accounts. Debits decrease liability and stockholders’ equity accounts; credits increase liability and stockholders’ equity accounts. Common Stock, a stockholders’ equity account, is increased with a credit. 41) C Debits increase asset accounts; credits decrease asset accounts. Debits decrease liability and stockholders’ equity accounts; credits increase liability and stockholders’ equity accounts. 42) A Debits increase asset accounts; credits decrease asset accounts. Debits decrease liability and stockholders’ equity accounts; credits increase liability and stockholders’ equity accounts. 43) A Debiting an expense account decreases stockholders’ equity. Debits decrease liability and stockholders’ equity accounts; credits increase liability and stockholders’ equity accounts. Debits increase asset accounts; credits decrease asset accounts. 44) B The purchase increased supplies, an asset account, and increased accounts payable, a liability account. Therefore, $1,000 will appear as a debit on the left side of the supplies T-account and as a credit on the right side of the accounts payable T-account. Version 1
61
45) D Cash, an asset, has been increased with a debit, and unearned revenue, a liability, has been increased with a credit. This indicates that Gibbs has collected cash for services to be provided in the future. 46) B In this transaction, common stock is issued for $25,000 cash. A debit to cash increases assets and a credit to common stock increases stockholders’ equity. The income statement is not affected, and the event is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities. 47) B Recognizing rent expense decreases both assets and stockholders’ equity. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Prepaid Rent) will be recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease in stockholders’ equity (Rent Expense) will be recorded with a debit. On the income statement, the event increases expenses and decreases net income. The event does not affect cash flows. 48) D The debit to the Land T-account increases total assets and the credit to the Cash T-account decreases total assets. The increase is offset by the decrease and total assets do not change as a result of this transaction. The income statement is not affected, and the transaction is reported as a cash outflow from investing activities. 49) A The event increases cash, an asset account, and common stock, a stockholders’ equity account. It is recorded as a debit in the Cash Taccount and a credit to the Common Stock account. 50) C
Version 1
62
Making an adjustment to recognize accrued salary expense increases liabilities and decreases stockholders' equity. Because credits increase liabilities, the increase in liabilities (Salaries Payable) is recorded with a credit and because debits decrease stockholders' equity, the decrease in stockholders' equity (Salaries Expense) is recorded with a debit. 51) D Earning $4,000 of revenue that had been deferred is recognized by transferring $4,000 from the liability account (Unearned Revenue) to an equity account (Revenue). Recognizing the revenue decreases liabilities and increases stockholders’ equity. Because debits decrease liabilities, the decrease in liabilities (Unearned Revenue) is recorded on the leftside of the t-account and because credits increase stockholders’ equity, the increase in stockholders’ equity (Revenue) is recorded on the right side of the t-account. 52) A The debit to Cash and credit to Notes Payable indicates that cash, an asset account, increased and notes payable, a liability account, increased. This would be caused by acquiring cash by issuing a note. 53) D The debit to Cash and credit to Notes Payable indicates that cash, an asset, and notes payable, a liability, both increased. There is no effect on the income statement, and the event is reported as a cash inflow from financing activities on the statement of cash flows. 54) D

By December 31, Year 1, Benjamin and Associates would have provided legal services for 5 months (August through December), earning $7,500 of the revenue. This amount must be transferred from the liability account (Unearned Revenue) to an equity account (Revenue). Recognizing the revenue decreases liabilities and increases stockholders’ equity. Because debits decrease liabilities, the decrease in liabilities (Unearned Revenue) is recorded with a debit and because credits increase stockholders’ equity, the increase in stockholders’ equity (Revenue) is recorded with a credit. $18,000 ÷ 12 months = $1,500 per month. August through December is five months. $1,500 × 5 = $7,500. 55) B Able Company owes its employees for work done in Year 1 but will pay the salaries in Year 2. The required adjusting entry to recognize accrued salary expense increases liabilities and decreases stockholders’ equity. Because credits increase liabilities, the increase in liabilities (Salaries Payable) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease in stockholders’ equity (Salaries Expense) is recorded with a debit. 56) D This is similar in concept to making a prepayment for insurance coverage. The monthly rent is $100 ($1,200 ÷ 12 months). By December 31, the company had rented (used) the office space for three months. The Prepaid Rent account has an adjusted balance of $900 ($1,200 − $300). The Rent Expense account will reflect the rent for those three months of $300 ($100 × 3). 57) A
Version 1
64
The company used $2,075 ($3,500 − $1,425) supplies during its first year of operations. Recognizing the supplies expense decreases both assets and stockholders’ equity. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Supplies) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease in stockholders’ equity (Supplies Expense) is recorded with a debit. 58) A The company used $1,475 ($2,300 − $825) supplies during its first year of operations. Recognizing the supplies expense decreases both assets and stockholders’ equity. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Supplies) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease in stockholders’ equity (Supplies Expense) is recorded with a debit. 59) C At the end of the accounting period, a company will have several unrecorded accruals and deferrals that must be recognized before the financial statements can be prepared. As a result, adjusting entries always involve (1) an asset or liability account and (2) a revenue or expense account. 60) B The monthly insurance cost is $200 ($1,200 ÷ 6 months). By December 31, Year 1 the company had used the insurance coverage for two months. Recognizing the insurance expense decreases both assets and stockholders’ equity. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Prepaid Insurance) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease in stockholders’ equity (Insurance Expense) is recorded with a debit. 61) B
Version 1

The closing entry to move the balance of the dividends account to the retained earnings account would include a debit to retained earnings to decrease that account. The credit to the dividends account leaves a zero balance in that account. 62) B Total assets = Cash of $4,300 + Land of $3,500 +Accounts receivable of $3,700 = $11,500 63) D Total assets = Cash of $4,000 + Land of $3,200 + Accounts receivable of $3,400 = $10,600 64) A Net income = Revenue of $3,300 − Expenses of $2,250 = $1,050 65) C Net income = Revenue of $3,200 − Expenses of $2,200 = $1,000 66) D Net income = Revenue of $5,000 − Expenses of $3,100 = $1,900 Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings of $7,700 + Net income of $1,900 − Dividends of $3,800 = $5,800 67) D Net income = Revenue of $3,200− Expenses of $2,200 = $1,000 Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings of $5,900 + Net income of $1,000 − Dividends of $2,000 = $4,900 68) B Closing entries move all current year data from the temporary accounts (revenues, expenses, and dividends) into the retained earnings account. The Unearned Revenue account is a liability account; it is not closed. 69) D
Version 1
66
Closing entries move all current year data from the temporary accounts (revenues, expenses, and dividends) into the retained earnings account. Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Revenues − Expenses − Dividends. Ending retained earnings = $9,200 + $67,000 − $44,400 − $2,200 = $29,600. 70) A Closing entries move all current year data from the temporary accounts (revenues, expenses, and dividends) into the retained earnings account. Ending retained earnings = Beginning retained earnings + Revenues − Expenses − Dividends. Ending retained earnings = $14,000 + $43,000 − $38,400 − $1,000 = $17,600. 71) D Every entry (not only closing entries) must include at least one debit to an account and at least one credit to an account. This system is called double-entry accounting. Adjusting entries are recorded before (rather than after) the closing entries are recorded. If the debit total does not equal the credit total on the trial balance, the accountant knows to search for an error. Even if the totals are equal, however, there may be errors in the accounting records. Prior to posting closing entries, the balance in the retained earnings account will be the balance at the beginning of the accounting period. Only after closing entries are posted will the trial balance reflect the same retained earnings account balance as the balance sheet. 72) B
Version 1
67
Since the salaries expense account carries a debit balance, closing the account balance requires a credit entry. Since the retained earnings account carries a credit balance, decreasing the account balance requires a debit entry. 73) C Since the revenue account carries a credit balance, closing the account balance requires a debit entry.Since the retained earnings account carries a credit balance, increasing the account balance requires a credit entry. 74) D Closing entries transfer the balances from revenue, expense and dividend accounts into the retained earnings account. Closing a revenue account moves the balance in the revenue account into the retained earnings account. Since revenue has a positive effect on stockholders’ equity, moving its balance into retained earnings increases the retained earnings account balance. Expenses and dividends have the opposite effect. Moving balances from these accounts into retained earnings decreases the retained earnings account balance. 75) A Even if the debit and credit totals on the trial balance are equal, there may be errors in the accounting records. For example, equal trial balance totals would not disclose errors like the following: failure to record transactions; misclassifications (such as debiting the wrong account); or incorrectly recording the amount of a transaction. The income statement is prepared using the adjusted trial balance. 76) C The retained earnings balance in an adjusted trial balance will be its beginning balance because temporary accounts have not yet been closed. A beginning balance in retained earnings of zero is most likely due to the current year being the company’s first year in business. 77) C Version 1
68
Ending retained earnings = Beginning balance + Revenues − Expenses − Dividends Ending retained earnings = $18,700 + $27,500 − $16,700 − $6,200 = $23,300 78) A Ending retained earnings = Beginning balance + Revenues − Expenses − Dividends Ending retained earnings = $17,000 + $22,400 − $15,000 − $4,500 = $19,900 79) C A credit to retained earnings of $3,250 (to close the service revenue, interest expense, and operating expenses accounts) will increase retained earnings by $3,250. 80) C A credit to retained earnings of $2,550 (to close the service revenue, interest expense, and operating expenses accounts) will increase retained earnings by $2,550. 81) A The post-closing trial balance is prepared after the closing entries are transferred to the retained earnings account.The after-closing retained earnings balance is calculated as: $200 pre-closing retained earnings + $1,100 service revenue− $500 operating expenses− $100 dividends = $700 after closing retained earnings balance. As a result, the postclosing trial balance will appear as follows. Account Title Cash Equipment

82) A The balance sheet accounts are permanent accounts; they contain information carried forward from one accounting period to the next (that is, the ending account balance of one period becomes the beginning account balance of the next period). Temporary accounts are used to collect retained earnings data applicable to only the current accounting period (that is, revenue, expenses, and distributions). The Dividend account is a temporary account; it collects distributions during the current account period only. 83) B Retained Earnings in the first year of operations is zero until revenues, expenses and dividends are closed to retained earnings. 84) B Retained Earnings in the first year of operations is zero until revenues, expenses and dividends are closed to retained earnings. 85) B $395 beginning balance + $840 revenue − $450 expenses − $190 dividends = $595 86) A $350 beginning balance + $750 revenue − $360 expenses − $100 dividends = $640 87) A

Ending Cash balance = $3,800 − $1,900 + $1,700 = $3,600 Ending accounts receivable balance = $3,300 − $1,700 = $1,600 Debit balances = Cash of $3,600 + Accounts receivable of $1,600 + Land of $1,900 + Salaries expenses of $1,400 + Supplies of $500 = $9,000 To check: Credit balances = Accounts payable of $500 + Salaries payable of $1,400 + Revenue of $3,300 + Common stock of $3,800 = $9,000 88) B Ending Cash balance = $9,000 − $4,500 + $3,900 = $8,400 Ending accounts receivable balance = $7,500 − $3,900 = $3,600 Debit balances = Cash of $8,400 + Accounts receivable of $3,600 + Land of $4,500 + Salaries expenses of $3,000 + Supplies of $900 = $20,400 To check: Credit balances = Accounts payable of $900 + Salaries payable of $3,000 + Revenue of $7,500 + Common stock of $9,000 = $20,400 89) B The error would cause the debit column to be overstated by $600 and the credit column to be understated by $600. The difference between the two column totals would be $1,200. 90) C The two asset accounts listed on the trial balance are Cash and Accounts Receivable. Total assets = $14,200 + $4,100 = $18,300 91) C
Version 1
71
The two asset accounts listed on the trial balance are Cash and Accounts Receivable. Total assets = $12,500 + $3,250 = $15,750 92) C Credit balances = Accounts payable of $5,600 + Service revenue of $19,100 +Retained Earnings of $18,100 + Common Stock of $21,900 = $64,700 93) B Credit balances = Accounts payable of $7,400 + Service revenue of $34,400 + Retained earnings of $32,400 + Common stock of $40,000 = $114,200 94) D Equal trial balance totals would not disclose errors in misclassifications; that is, debiting the wrong account or crediting the wrong account. Even though the balances in the individual accounts would be incorrect as a result of each of the errors described, the totals in the trial balance would be in balance. 95) D The trial balance only proves the equality of debits and credits. It does not detect missing or incorrect entries that were recorded with equal debits and credits. If the debit total does not equal the credit total on the trial balance, adjusted trial balance, or post-closing trial balance, the accountant knows to search for an error. 96) A Recognizing revenue on account increases both assets and stockholder’ equity. Because debits increase assets, the increase in assets (Accounts Receivable) is recorded with a debit, and because credits increase stockholders’ equity, the increase in stockholders’ equity (Service Revenue) is recorded with a credit. Version 1
72
97) B The journal entry shows a decrease in cash with a credit and a decrease in accounts payable with a debit, which could be explained by the payment of cash to settle accounts payable. 98) D Accruing interest expense increases liabilities and decreases stockholders’ equity. Because credits increase liabilities, the liability account (Interest Payable) is recorded with a credit and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the stockholders’ equity account (Interest Expense) will be recorded with a debit. 99) D Earning revenue increases both assets and stockholders’ equity. Because debits increase assets, the increase to assets (Cash) is recorded with a debit, and because credits increase stockholders’ equity, the increase to stockholders’ equity (Service Revenue) is recorded with a credit. On the income statement, revenue increases which increases net income. There is a cash inflow from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. 100) B The purchase of supplies on account would increase supplies (a debit) and increase accounts payable (a credit). Asset accounts are increased with debits and decreased with credits. Liability accounts are increased with credits and decreased with debits. 101) B The company would record an increase in assets by debiting Cash by $3,100 and debiting Accounts Receivable by $3,000. The company would record an increase to stockholders’ equity by crediting Consulting Revenue by $6,100. 102) B
Version 1
73
The company would record an increase in assets by debiting Cash by $1,300 and debiting Accounts Receivable by $1,200. The company would record an increase to stockholders’ equity by crediting Consulting Revenue by $2,500. 103) B The debit to Cash increases this asset account and the credit to unearned revenue increases this liability account. That would be the journal entry recorded when cash is collected as an advance for work to be performed in the future. 104) A The debit to unearned revenue decreases that liability account and the credit to consulting revenue increases that revenue account, which increases stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). 105) D Recognizing supplies expense decreases both assets and stockholders’ equity. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Supplies) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease in stockholders’ equity (Supplies Expense) is recorded with a debit. Expenses are increased on the income statement which reduces net income. As is the case with all adjusting entries, it does not affect cash flows. 106) C Recognizing rent expense decreases assets and stockholders’ equity. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Prepaid Rent) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease in stockholders’ equity (Rent Expense) is recorded with a debit. Expenses decrease net income. As is the case with all adjusting entries, it does not affect cash flows. 107) C
Version 1
74
The expense recognition is an asset use event. Both assets and stockholders’ equity decrease. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Merchandise Inventory) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease to stockholders’ equity (Cost of goods sold) is recorded with a debit. 108) D The purchase of inventory on account increases both assets and liabilities. Because debits increase assets, the increase to assets (Inventory) is recorded with a debit, and because credits increase liabilities, the increase to liabilities (Accounts Payable) is recorded with a credit. 109) B The purchase of inventory on account increases both assets and liabilities. Because debits increase assets, the increase to assets (Inventory) is recorded with a debit, and because credits increase liabilities, the increase to liabilities (Accounts Payable) is recorded with a credit. 110) B Recognizing depreciation expense is an asset use event. Both assets and stockholders’ equity decrease. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Accumulated Depreciation) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease to stockholders’ equity (Depreciation Expense) is recorded with a debit. On the income statement, expenses increase which decreases net income. The event does not affect cash flows. 111) C
Version 1
75
Five months have passed (August through December). Interest owed = $24,000 × 0.08 × 5 ÷ 12 = $800 Recognizing accrued interest expense increases liabilities and decreases stockholders’ equity. Because credits increase liabilities, the increase in liabilities (Interest payable) is recorded with a credit of $800, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease to stockholders’ equity (Interest Expense) is recorded with a debit of $800. 112) D Five months have passed (August through December). Interest owed = $10,000 × 0.06 × 5 ÷ 12 = $250 Recognizing accrued interest expense increases liabilities and decreases stockholders’ equity. Because credits increase liabilities, the increase in liabilities (Interest payable) is recorded with a credit of $250, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease to stockholders’ equity (Interest Expense) is recorded with a debit of $250. 113) C Recognizing depreciation expense is an asset use event. Both assets and stockholders’ equity decrease. Because credits decrease assets, the decrease in assets (Accumulated Depreciation) is recorded with a credit, and because debits decrease stockholders’ equity, the decrease to stockholders’ equity (Depreciation Expense) is recorded with a debit. On the income statement, expenses increase which decreases net income. 114) B This misclassification (crediting the wrong account) will not cause the debit and credit totals on the trial balance to be out of balance. Crediting an asset (Cash) instead of crediting a liability (Interest Payable) would understate total assets and understate total liabilities. That error has no effect on net income. Version 1
76
115) D The payment would be recorded with a credit to Cash for $1,050 to decrease that asset account, a debit to Interest Payable for $600 to decrease that liability account, and a debit to Interest Expense for $450 to balance the entry (for the interest expense to be recognized during Year 2). 116) D The payment would be recorded with a credit to Cash for $450 to decrease that asset account, a debit to Interest Payable for $300 to decrease that liability account, and a debit to Interest Expense for $150 to balance the entry (for the interest expense to be recognized during Year 2). 117) D The entry to record depreciation expense involves a debit to Depreciation Expense (to increase that expense account) and a credit to Accumulated Depreciation (to increase that contra-asset account). 118) C This journal entry to accrue interest expense increases Interest Payable (a liability) and increases interest expense. Accruing interest expense decreases net income and stockholders’ equity. 119) D Depreciation expense is determined as follows: ($3,400 cost − $700 salvage)÷ 5-years useful life = $540 per year The entry to record depreciation expense involves a debit to Depreciation Expense (which decreases stockholders’ equity) and a credit to the contra asset account Accumulated Depreciation (which decreases total assets) for $540. 120) C
Version 1
77
Depreciation expense is determined as follows: ($3,000 cost − $500 salvage) ÷ five-year useful life = $500 per year The entry to record depreciation expense involves a debit to Depreciation Expense (which decreases stockholders’ equity) and a credit tothe contra asset account Accumulated Depreciation (which decreases total assets) for $500. 121) B This adjusting entry records the accrued interest revenue as of the end of the accounting period. It increases revenue (interest revenue), which increases net income and stockholders’ equity (retained earnings). It also increases assets (interest receivable). The adjusting entry has no effect on cash flows.

Answer Key Test name: Chap 14_2e_Problem Materials 1) Answers will vary. The primary factors involved in communicating useful information include the following: understanding who the users are, knowing for what purpose the information will be used, and understanding the process by which the information is analyzed. According to the FASB, financial statement information should be understandable to a person with a reasonable knowledge or one who has the capacity and willingness to achieve a reasonable knowledge of business. Financial statements are general purpose statements, meaning they are prepared for use by a wide variety of parties rather than being aimed at one specific group. Because of this, some disclosed information may be irrelevant to some users but vital to others. Finally, because of the many categories of users, the different levels of knowledge, the varying needs of users, and the general nature of financial statements, users must be prepared to apply a wide variety of analysis techniques to fully understand the information received. 2) Answers will vary. The primary drawback is that absolute amounts are affected by the size of a company. A change in absolute amount that would be important for one company might be immaterial (too small to matter) for another company.

3) Answers will vary. Return on equity is higher than return on investment as a result of financial leverage. When a company uses debt effectively, stockholders' benefit and return on equity exceeds return on investment. 4) Answers will vary. Liquidity ratios indicate a company's ability to pay short-term debts. They focus on current assets and current liabilities. Examples include current ratio, quick ratio, accounts receivable ratios, and inventory ratios. Solvency ratios are used to analyze a company's long-term debtpaying ability and its financing structure. Solvency ratios include debt to assets ratio, debt to equity ratio, and times interest earned ratio. Profitability measures concern a company's ability to generate earnings. These ratios include net margin, asset turnover ratio, return on investment, and return on equity. 5) Answers will vary. The banker needs to assess the short-term debt-paying ability of Sable Company. Consequently, the banker should calculate liquidity ratios. Students should describe three of the following measures (ratios): a. Working capital
The amount by which current assets exceed current liabilities b. Current ratio Measures the ability to pay current liabilities from the most liquid of current assets c. Quick ratio Measures collectibility of receivables d. Accounts receivable Measures collectibility of receivables turnover e. Average collection Measeures how many days ut takes to collect period average receivables f. Inventory turnover Measure of the sale ability of inventory g. Days in inventory Measeures how many days would be required to sell the inventory on hand

6) Answers will vary. The primary difference between the current ratio and the quick ratio is that the current ratio includes inventories in the numerator, and the quick ratio does not. Therefore, based on this information, one might suspect that Crawford carries more inventory than other, similar companies. The managers of Crawford Company might want to examine the company's inventory and determine whether it could operate effectively with less inventory. 7) Answers will vary. The results of financial statement analysis can be difficult to interpret and explain because of differences among industries, changing economic conditions, and the varying accounting principles and estimates made by different companies. Financial statement analysis is useful in giving an overview of a company. Studying a company's financial statements over a period of years and comparing the results to other companies in the same industry can help to reduce the ambiguity associated with the analysis results. 8) Answers will vary. The price-earnings ratio is a measure of what investors in the stock market expect for a company. A high P/E ratio means that investors hold the company in high esteem and expect its earnings to increase in the future. The difference between P/E ratios for Gamma and Chi suggests that investors think more highly of Gamma and its future than for Chi.

9) Answers will vary. The acceptable (or desirable) level of liquidity varies from one industry to another. A company's ability to pay its current liabilities depends on how reliably current operations generate cash. Therefore, comparisons between Denver and Cheyenne cannot be made based on this limited information. 10) Answers will vary. Horizontal analysis means examining individual items from the financial statements over a period of time; it is also called trend analysis. For example, calculating the percentage change in sales over the past four years would be a form of horizontal analysis. Vertical analysis is conducted within the financial statements for a single period. For example, the amounts of cost of goods sold, gross margin, operating income, and net income for the current year might all be compared to the amount of sales revenue for that year. 11) a) T b) T c) F d) F e) T 1.a) Some forms of financial statement analysis involve identifying changes in the same item for the same company over a period of time. 2.b) Some forms of financial statement analysis involve comparing operations of different companies in the same industry. 3.c) Horizontal analysis is also called trend analysis. 4.d) Horizontal analysis refers to studying the behavior of individual financial statement items over several periods. 5.e) Horizontal analysis could be done using changes in the absolute dollar amount of an item or trends in percentages.

Working capital = Current assets − Current liabilities Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Impact of each transaction on these components: 1.1) No change in current assets (since increase in cash equals decrease in accounts receivable) and no change in current liabilities 2.2) No change in current assets or current liabilities 3.3) Increase in current assets (cash) but no change in current liabilities 4.4) Decrease in current assets (cash) but no change in current liabilities 5.5) Decrease in current assets (cash) but no change in current liabilities 6.6) Decrease in current assets (cash) and decrease in current liabilities (dividends payable). To determine the impact on the current ratio, assume that the current ratio of 1.85 to 1 meant that current assets were $185,000 and current liabilities were $100,000 and the dividend payment was for $10,000. The new current ratio would then equal ($185,000 − $10,000) ÷ ($100,000 − $10,000) = $175,000 ÷ $90,000 = 1.94 (which is an increase from 1.85 to 1). 7.7) Decrease in current assets (cash) but no change in current liabilities 8.8) Decrease in current assets (cash) and decrease in current liabilities (accounts payable) To determine the impact on the current ratio, assume that the current ratio of 1.85 to 1 meant that current assets were $185,000 and current liabilities were $100,000 and the payment on account was for $10,000.

Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Quick ratio = Quick assets (which include cash, accounts receivable, and current marketable securities) ÷ Current liabilities Impact of each transaction on these components: 1.1) No change in current assets or quick assets (since increase in cash equals decrease in accounts receivable) and no change in current liabilities 2.2) Increase in current assets (cash) and quick assets (cash) and no change in current liabilities 3.3) No change in current assets (since decrease in cash equals increase in prepaid insurance), increase in quick assets (cash) and no change in current liabilities 4.4) Decrease in current assets (cash), decrease in quick assets (cash), and decrease in current liabilities (dividends payable). To determine the impact on the current ratio, assume that the current ratio of 1.85 to 1 meant that current assets were $185,000 and current liabilities were $100,000 and the dividend payment was for $10,000. The new current ratio would then equal ($185,000 − $10,000) ÷ ($100,000 − $10,000) = $175,000 ÷ $90,000 = 1.94 (which is an increase from 1.85 to 1). To determine the impact on the quick ratio, assume that the quick ratio of 1.19 to 1 meant that current assets were $119,000 and current liabilities were $100,000 and the dividend payment was for $10,000. The new quick ratio would then equal ($119,000 − $10,000) ÷ ($100,000 − $10,000) = $109,000 ÷ $90,000 = 1.21 (which is an increase from 1.19 to 1). 5.5) Decrease in current assets (cash) and decrease in current liabilities (accounts payable) To determine the impact on the current ratio, assume that the current ratio of 1.85 to 1 meant that current assets were $185,000 and current Version 1

The new current ratio would then equal ($185,000 − $10,000) ÷ ($100,000 − $10,000) = $175,000 ÷ $90,000 = 1.94 (an increase from 1.85 to 1). To determine the impact on the quick ratio, assume that the quick ratio of 1.19 to 1 meant that current assets were $119,000 and current liabilities were $100,000 and the payment on account was for $10,000. The new quick ratio would then equal ($119,000 − $10,000) ÷ ($100,000 − $10,000) = $109,000 ÷ $90,000 = 1.21 (which is an increase from 1.19 to 1). 6.6) No change in current assets or current liabilities 7.7) Increase in current assets (inventory) and increase in current liabilities (accounts payable) To determine the impact on the current ratio, assume that the current ratio of 1.85 to 1 meant that current assets were $185,000 and current liabilities were $100,000 and the purchase of inventory on account was for $10,000. The new quick ratio would then equal ($185,000 + $10,000) ÷ ($100,000 + $10,000) = $195,000 ÷ $110,000 = 1.77 (a decrease from 1.85 to 1). To determine the impact on the quick ratio, assume that the quick ratio of 1.19 to 1 meant that current assets were $119,000 and current liabilities were $100,000 and the purchase of inventory on account was for $10,000. The new quick ratio would then equal ($119,000 + 10,000) ÷ ($100,000 + $10,000) = $129,000 ÷ $110,000 = 1.1 (which is a decrease from 1.19 to 1). 8.8) No change in current assets or quick assets (since decrease in cash equals increase in current marketable securities) and no change in current liabilities 9.14) Increase in current assets and quick assets (since increase in cash exceeds decrease in inventory) and no change in current liabilities Version 1

10.15) Increase in current assets and quick assets (since increase in account receivable exceeds decrease in inventory) and no change in current liabilities 34) Answers will vary. 1.1) (a) $2.36 Earnings per share = ($528,000 − $8,000 preferred dividends) ÷ 220,000 common shares = $2.36 (b) 15.25:1 Price-earnings ratio = $36 ÷ $2.36 = 15.25:1 the price-earnings ratio for Joseph is above the average for the industry. 2.2) It would be prudent to perform a much more thorough analysis of this company prior to making an investment decision. For example, the above ratios should be computed for more than one year to identify trends in the company's performance. Furthermore, additional ratios should be computed to assess the company's debt-paying ability and managerial effectiveness. Finally, non-quantitative factors would need to be considered (e.g., you may have heard that the company is about to be awarded a major contract). However, based on this limited information, Joseph outperformed the industry: the earnings per share ratio and the price-earnings ratio for Joseph are above average for the industry. 35) Year 1 Sales Cost of goods sold Gross margin Operating expenses Income before taxes Income taxes

42) Answer to part c will vary. 1.1) $716,000 Current assets = $2,000,000 − $926,000 = $1,074,000; Current assets ÷ current liabilities = 3 Thus, current liabilities = $1,074,000 ÷ 3 = $358,000; Finally, working capital = current assets − current liabilities. Thus, $1,074,000 − $358,000 = $716,000 2.2) 1.26:1 Acid-test = (current assets − inventory − prepaid expenses) ÷ current liabilities = ($1,074,000 − $550,000 − $74,000) ÷ $358,000 = $450,000 ÷ $358,000 = 1.26:1 3.3) Impact of transactions on current ratio: 1.(a) Collection on account has no impact on the current ratio. 2.(b) Purchase of inventory on account reduces the current ratio. Adding $50,000 to both the numerator and the denominator decreases the current ratio from 3:1 to 2.75:1. 3.(c) Payment on account increases the current ratio. Decreasing both the numerator and the denominator increases the current ratio from 2:75:1 to 3.06:1. Therefore, the company is not in default after these transactions. 43) 6.8 times Number of times interest is earned = Earnings before interest and taxes ÷ income tax expense Earnings before interest and taxes = $104,000 + $46,000 + $26,000 = $176,000 Number of times interest is earned = $176,000 ÷ $26,000 = 6.8 times

Answer Key Test name: Chap 14_2e_Test Bank_MCQs_TF 1) FALSE The primary objective of accounting is to provide information useful for decision making. To provide information that supports this objective, accountants must consider the intended users, the types of decisions users make with financial statement information, and available means of analyzing the information. 2) FALSE Current reporting standards target users that have a reasonably informed knowledge of business, though that level of sophistication is difficult to define. 3) FALSE Financial statements can provide only highly summarized economic information. The costs to a company of providing excessively detailed information would be prohibitive. In addition, too much detail leads to information overload, the problem of having so much data that important information becomes obscured by trivial information. 4) TRUE 5) FALSE Vertical analysis of an income statement (also called a common size income statement) involves converting each income statement component to a percentage of sales. Although vertical analysis suggests examining only one period, it is useful to compare common size income statements for several years. 6) TRUE 7) TRUE
Version 1
41
Comparing only absolute amounts has drawbacks, however, because materiality levels differ from company to company or even from year to year for a given company. The materiality of information refers to its relative importance. An item is considered material if knowledge of it would influence the decision of a reasonably informed user. 8) TRUE 9) FALSE Ratio analysis involves studying various relationships between different items reported in a set of financial statements. 10) TRUE Ratio analysis involves studying various relationships between different items reported in a set of financial statements. Creditors are interested in whether a company will be able to repay its debts on time. Ratios are grouped into categories such as measures of debt-paying ability and measures of profitability. 11) FALSE The current ratio is one of the most common measures of liquidity. 12) TRUE 13) FALSE The current ratio, also called the working capital ratio, is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. The quick ratio is a conservative variation of the current ratio. Only cash, receivables, and current marketable securities (quick assets) are included in the numerator. Less liquid current assets, such as inventories and prepaid expenses, are omitted. One possible interpretation for these results is that Jenkins carries more (rather than less) inventory than most companies in its industry. 14) TRUE 15) TRUE 16) FALSE Version 1
42
The accounts receivable turnover ratio can be used to assess a firm's liquidity. 17) TRUE 18) FALSE Effective financial management principles dictate that asset purchases should be financed over a time span about equal to the expected lives of the assets. Long-lived assets should be financed with long-term liabilities. 19) TRUE Profitability refers to a company’s ability to generate earnings. Both management and external users employ profitability ratios to assess a company’s success in generating profits and how these profits are used to reward investors. 20) FALSE Perhaps the most frequently quoted measure of earnings performance is earnings per share (EPS). 21) TRUE 22) D To provide information that is useful for decision making, accountants must consider the intended users, the types of decisions users make with financial statement information, and available means of analyzing the information. 23) B Current reporting standards target users that have a reasonably informed knowledge of business, though that level of sophistication is difficult to define. 24) C Financial statements can provide only highly summarized economic information. The costs to a company of providing excessively detailed information would be prohibitive. Version 1

25) A Categories of common analysis methods include horizontal analysis, vertical analysis, and ratio analysis. 26) D Financial statement analysis should focus primarily on isolating information useful for making a particular decision. The information required can take many forms but usually involves comparisons, such as comparing changes in the same item for the same company over a number of years, comparing key relationships within the same year, or comparing the operations of several different companies in the same industry. 27) A Horizontal analysis, also called trend analysis, refers to studying the behavior of individual financial statement items over several accounting periods. 28) D Comparing only absolute amounts has drawbacks because materiality levels differ from company to company or even from year to year for a given company. 29) B Horizontal analysis compares items over many time periods; vertical analysis compares many items within the same time period. As such, vertical analysis of cost of goods sold on the income statement includes dividing gross margin by total revenue. 30) D Horizontal analysis compares items over many time periods; vertical analysis compares many items within the same time period. 31) D
Version 1

Vertical analysis uses percentages to compare individual components of financial statements to a key statement figure where the comparison is among many items within the same time period. 32) A Horizontal analysis, also called trend analysis, refers to studying the behavior of individual financial statement items over several accounting periods. These periods may be several quarters within the same fiscal year or they may be several different years. Ratio analysis involves studying various relationships between different items reported in a set of financial statements. 33) D Various users approach financial statement analysis with many different objectives. Creditors are interested in whether a company will be able to repay its debts on time. Both creditors and stockholders are concerned with how the company is financed, whether through debt, equity, or earnings. Stockholders and potential investors analyze past earnings performance and dividend policy for clues to the future value of their investments. In addition to using internally generated data to analyze operations, company managers find much information prepared for external purposes useful for examining past operations and planning future policies. 34) D Liquidity ratios indicate a company’s ability to pay short-term debts. Solvency ratios are used to analyze a company’s long-term debt-paying ability and its financing structure. Profitability ratios assess a company’s success in generating profits and how these profits are used to reward investors. 35) B
Version 1

Liquidity ratios indicate a company’s ability to pay short-term debts. These ratios include working capital, current ratio, quick ratio, accounts receivable ratios, and inventory ratios. The earnings per share (EPS) ratio is a measure of earnings performance. 36) A A collection on account is an asset exchange transaction; the current asset account Cash increases and the current asset account Accounts Receivable decreases. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. Since there is no impact on either the numerator or denominator, this transaction has no impact on the current ratio. 37) C A payment of commissions to sales employees is an asset use transaction; the current asset account Cash decreases and theRetained Earnings account decreases. Working capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. Since this transaction causes a decrease in current assets, it decreases the amount of working capital. 38) C Working capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. 39) D The quick ratio is calculated by dividing quick assets by current liabilities. 40) C Working capital = Current assets − Current liabilities Working capital = ($21,000 + $31,000 + $16,500) − $24,500 = $44,000 41) D Working capital = Current assets − Current liabilities Working capital = ($40,000 + $60,000 + $32,000) − $48,000 = $84,000 42) D Version 1

Solvency ratios are used to analyze a company’s long-term debt-paying ability and its financing structure. Solvency ratios include the debt to assets ratio, the debt to equity ratio, the number of times interest earned, and the plant assets to long-term liabilities ratio. The net margin ratio describes the percentage of each sales dollar remaining after subtracting other expenses as well as cost of goods sold. It is used to assess managerial effectiveness. 60) A Solvency ratios are used to analyze a company’s long-term debt-paying ability and its financing structure. 61) D Debt to equity = Total liabilities ÷ Total stockholders’ equity Debt to equity = ($2,850 + $8,130 + $12,500) ÷ ($16,000 + $27,970) = $23,480 ÷ $43,970 = 53.40% 62) D Debt to equity = Total liabilities ÷ Total stockholders’ equity Debt to equity = ($4,500 + $11,500 + $19,000) ÷ ($30,000 + $15,650) = $35,000 ÷ $45,650 = 77% 63) C Recall that total assets equal total liabilities and stockholders’ equity.

Return on investment (ROI), also called return on assets or earning power, is the ratio of wealth generated (net income) to the amount invested (average total assets) to generate the wealth. 80) C Ratios for assessing a company’s position in the stock market include earnings per share, book value, price-earnings ratio, and dividend yield. Working capital measures the excess funds the company will have available for operations, excluding any new funds it generates during the year. This ratio is used to assess liquidity. 81) D Earnings per share = (Net income− Preferred stock dividends) ÷ Average shares outstanding Earnings per share = (Net income− Preferred stock dividends) ÷ [(Beginning shares outstanding + ending shares outstanding) ÷ 2] Earnings per share = ($275,000 − $27,500) ÷ [(410,000 shares outstanding + 470,000 shares outstanding) ÷ 2] = $247,500 ÷ 440,000 shares = $0.56 per share 82) C Earnings per share = (Net income− Preferred stock dividends) ÷ Average shares outstanding Earnings per share = (Net income− Preferred stock dividends) ÷ [(Beginning shares outstanding + ending shares outstanding) ÷ 2] Earnings per share = ($250,000 − $25,000) ÷ [(200,000 shares outstanding + 300,000 shares outstanding) ÷ 2] = $225,000 ÷ 250,000 shares = $0.90 per share 83) B

A company with a current ratio of 1.5:1 appears to have a stronger working capital position than one with a current ratio of 1:1. 90) D 91) D 92) C The pervasive use of the historical cost concept is probably the greatest single cause of distorted financial statement analysis results. The historical cost of an asset does not represent its current value. The asset purchased years ago for $10,000 is not comparable in value to the asset purchased in the current year for $10,000 because of changes in the value of the dollar. Using historical cost produces financial statements that report dollars with differing purchasing power in the same statement. 93) B The issuance of common stock for cash is an asset source transaction; the current asset account Cash increases and the stockholders’ equity account Common Stock increases. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. Since this transaction increases the numerator but does not affect the denominator, it increases the current ratio. 94) A

The sale of inventory on account for an amount in excess of its cost is an asset source transaction; the current asset account Accounts Receivable and the stockholders' equity account Retained Earnings increase by $6,000. In addition, the current asset account Inventory and the stockholders' equity account Retained Earnings decrease. The quick ratio is calculated by dividing quick assets (which include the asset accounts Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Current Marketable Securities) by current liabilities. Since this transaction increases the numerator (that is, the quick asset Accounts Receivable) but does not affect the denominator, it increases (rather than decreases) the quick ratio. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. Since this transaction increases the numerator (that is, the current asset Accounts Receivable) but does not affect the denominator, it increases the current ratio. Working capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. Since this transaction increases current assets (that is, the current asset Accounts Receivable) but does not affect current liabilities, it also increases working capital. 95) B The sale of inventory for an amount in excess of its cost is an asset source transaction; the current asset account Cash (or Accounts Receivable, if on account) and the stockholders’ equity account Retained Earnings increase. In addition, the current asset account Inventory and the stockholders’ equity account Retained Earnings decrease. The quick ratio is calculated by dividing quick assets (which include the asset accounts Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Current Marketable Securities) by current liabilities.

The collection from a customer on account is an asset exchange transaction; the current asset account Cash increases and the current asset account Accounts Receivable decreases. Working capital is calculated by subtracting current liabilities from current assets. Since this transaction does not affect total current assets or total current liabilities, the amount of working capital does not change. 97) A The purchase of inventory on account is an asset use transaction; the current asset account Inventory and the current liability account Accounts Payable increase. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. This transaction impacts both the numerator and denominator. To determine the impact, assume that the current ratio of 1.29 suggests that current assets are $129,000 and current liabilities are $100,000 (that is $129,000 ÷ $100,000 = 1.29); the current ratio would decrease as a result of this transaction as follows: Current ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Current ratio = ($129,000 + $4,000) ÷ ($100,000 + $4,000) = $133,000 ÷ $104,000 = 1.28. The new current ratio of 1.28 is lower than the old current ratio of 1.29. The quick ratio is calculated by dividing quick assets (which include the asset accounts Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Current Marketable Securities) by current liabilities. Since this transaction does not affect the numerator but increases the denominator, it decreases the quick ratio. 98) A

The new current ratio of 1.30 (rounded) is higher than the old current ratio of 1.29. The quick ratio is calculated by dividing quick assets (which include the asset accounts Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Current Marketable Securities) by current liabilities. This transaction impacts both the numerator and denominator. To determine the impact, assume that the quick ratio of 1.05 suggests that quick assets are $105,000 and current liabilities are $100,000 (that is $105,000 ÷ $100,000 = 1.05); the quick ratio would increase as a result of this transaction as follows: Quick ratio = Current assets ÷ Current liabilities Quick ratio = ($105,000 − $3,600) ÷ ($100, 000 − $3,600) = $101,400 ÷ $96,400 = 1.05.

The quick ratio is calculated by dividing quick assets (which include the asset accounts Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Current Marketable Securities) by current liabilities. This transaction decreases the numerator, but has no effect on the denominator. As a result, this transaction causes the quick ratio to decrease (rather than increase). 100) B The payment of a cash dividend is an asset use transaction; the current asset account Cash and the stockholders’ equity account Retained Earnings decrease. The debt to assets ratio is calculated by dividing total liabilities by total assets. This transaction does not affect the numerator but decreases the denominator. As a result, this transaction causes the debt to assets ratio to increase. 101) A The receipt of cash from the issuance of common stock is an asset source transaction; the asset account Cash and the stockholders’ equity account Common Stock increase. The debt to equity ratio is calculated by dividing total stockholders’ equity by total liabilities. This transaction does not affect the numerator but increases the denominator. As a result, this transaction causes the debt to equity ratio to decrease. 102) B The receipt of cash from the issuance of bonds is an asset source transaction; the asset account Cash and the liability account Bonds Payable increase. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. This transaction impacts the numerator but not the denominator. As a result, this transaction causes the current ratio to increase. Version 1

103) B Horizontal analysis, also called trend analysis, refers to studying the behavior of individual financial statement items over several accounting periods. These periods may be several quarters within the same fiscal year or they may be several different years. The analysis of a given item may focus on trends in the absolute dollar amount of the item or trends in percentages. 104) D Horizontal analysis, also called trend analysis, refers to studying the behavior of individual financial statement items over several accounting periods. These periods may be several quarters within the same fiscal year or they may be several different years. The analysis of a given item may focus on trends in the absolute dollar amount of the item or trends in percentages. 105) D Horizontal analysis, also called trend analysis, refers to studying the behavior of individual financial statement items over several accounting periods. These periods may be several quarters within the same fiscal year or they may be several different years. The analysis of a given item may focus on trends in the absolute dollar amount of the item or trends in percentages. 106) C Vertical analysis of an income statement (also called a common- size income statement) involves converting each income statement component to a percentage of sales. 107) A Vertical analysis of the balance sheet involves converting each balance sheet component to a percentage of total assets. 108) A

Creditors are interested in whether a company will be able to repay its debts on time. Liquidity ratios indicate a company’s ability to pay shortterm debts. They focus on current assets and current liabilities. 109) B The quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, is a conservative variation of the current ratio. The quick ratio measures a company’s immediate debt-paying ability. Only cash, receivables, and current marketable securities (quick assets) are included in the numerator. 110) C Solvency ratios are used to analyze a company's long-term debt-paying ability and its financing structure. 111) C Working capital is calculated as current assets minus current liabilities. Current assets include assets most likely to be converted into cash in the current operating period. Current liabilities represent debts that must be satisfied in the current period. Working capital therefore measures the excess funds the company will have available for operations, excluding any new funds it generates during the year. Think of working capital as the cushion against short-term debt-paying problems. Harmon's working capital exceeds Lilly's working capital. However, it is not necessarily safe to assume that Harmon is more liquid than Lilly. Whether Harmon’s working capital is sufficient or not depends on such factors as the industry in which it operates, its size, and the maturity dates of its current obligations. 112) D The quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, is a conservative variation of the current ratio. The quick ratio is computed by dividing quick assets by current liabilities. Only cash, receivables, and current marketable securities (quick assets) are included in the numerator. 113) B Version 1

Two relationships are often examined to assess a company’s collection record: accounts receivable turnover and average days to collect receivables (average collection period). 114) C Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold ÷ Average inventory 115) A Solvency ratios are used to analyze a company’s long-term debt-paying ability and its financing structure. Creditors are concerned with a company’s ability to satisfy outstanding obligations. The larger a company’s liability percentage, the greater the risk that the company could fall behind or default on debt payments. Stockholders, too, are concerned about a company’s solvency. If a company is unable to pay its debts, the owners could lose their investment. 116) D The debt to assets ratio measures the percentage of a company’s assets that are financed by debt. The debt to equity ratio compares creditor financing to owner financing. Financial statement users may analyze a firm’s ability to obtain long-term financing on the strength of its asset base. Short-term assets should be financed with short-term liabilities; the current ratio, introduced earlier, indicates how well a company manages current debt. Long-lived assets should be financed with long-term liabilities, and the plant assets to long-term liabilities ratio shows the amount of assets per each dollar of long-term debt. 117) B Accounts receivable turnover = Net credit sales ÷ [(Beginning accounts receivable + ending accounts receivable) ÷ 2] Accounts receivable turnover = $1,300,000 ÷ [($65,000 + $69,000) ÷ 2] = $1,300,000 ÷ $67,000 = 19.4 times 118) D

Number of times interest is earned = (Net income + Taxes + Interest expense) ÷ Interest expense 119) D Net margin = Net income ÷ Net sales 120) A The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. The purchase of equipment for cash with the remainder on account is an asset source transaction; the current asset account Cash decreases by $30,000, the long-term asset account Property, plant, and equipment increases by $60,000, and the current liability account Shortterm Notes Payable increases by $30,000. The current ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. Current assets decrease and current liabilities increase by $30,000 as a result of this transaction. The reason Notes Payable is classified as a current liability is due to its short-term classification. 121) C The asset turnover ratio (sometimes called turnover of assets ratio) measures how many sales dollars were generated for each dollar of assets invested. 122) A The debt to assets ratio measures the percentage of a company’s assets that are financed by debt. 123) D

Whether basing their analyses on absolute amounts, percentages, or ratios, users must avoid drawing overly simplistic conclusions about the reasons for the results. Numerical relationships flag conditions requiring further study. Recall that a change that appears favorable on the surface may not necessarily be a good sign. Users must evaluate the underlying reasons for the change. In other words, the reason behind a financial statement ratio or percentage analysis result is not usually self-evident and, as such, it does require further study or analysis. 124) A EPS pertains to shares of common stock. Perhaps the most frequently quoted measure of earnings performance is earnings per share (EPS). Book value per share is another frequently quoted measure of a share of stock. It is calculated by dividing stockholders’ equity less preferred rights by outstanding common shares. A company’s accounting records reflect book values, not worth. As a result, the book value per share is not a measure of the market value of a corporation’s stock. 125) C Solvency ratios are used to analyze a company’s long-term debt-paying ability and its financing structure. Included in these ratios is the debt to assets ratio, which measures the percentage of a company’s assets that are financed by debt. 126) B The quick ratio, also known as the acid-test ratio, is a conservative variation of the current ratio. The quick ratio measures a company’s immediate debt-paying ability. Only cash, receivables, and current marketable securities (quick assets) are included in the numerator. Less liquid current assets, such as inventories and prepaid expenses, are omitted. 127) A Price-earnings ratio = Market price per share ÷ Earnings per share. Version 1
