Madison Company issued an interest-bearing note payable with a face amount of $24,000 and a stated interest rate of 8% to the Metropolitan Bank on August 1, Year 1. The note carried a one-year term. Based on this information alone, the amount of total liabilities appearing on Madison's Year 1 balance sheet would be: $24,720 $24,000 $24,800 $25,920
$24,800 $24,000 × 8% × 5/12 = $800 interest payable; $24,000 notes payable + $800 interest payable = $24,800 total liabilities.
Harding Corporation acquired real estate that contained land, building and equipment. The property cost Harding $1,900,000. Harding paid $350,000 and issued a note payable for the remainder of the cost. An appraisal of the property reported the following values: Land, $374,000; Building, $1,100,000 and Equipment, $726,000. Assume that Harding uses the units-of-production method when depreciating its equipment. Harding estimates that the purchased equipment will produce 1,000,000 units over its 5-year useful life and has salvage value of $34,000. Harding produced 265,000 units with the equipment by the end of the first year of purchase. Which amount below is closest to the amount Harding will record for depreciation expense for the equipment in the first year? $193,450 $157,145 $165,890 $125,200
$157,145 ($627,000 cost of equipment (33% of $1,900,000 purchase price) minus $34,000 salvage value) ÷ 1,000,000 units = $0.593 per unit; $0.593 × 265,000 units = $157,145
Chico Company paid $950,000 for a basket purchase that included office furniture, a building and land. An appraiser provided the following estimates of the market values of the assets if they had been purchased separately: Office furniture - $190,000; Building - $740,000, Land - $132,000. Based on this information, and rounding allocations to two decimal places, the amount of cost that would be allocated to the office furniture is closest to: $105,000. $171,000. $190,000. $316,667.
$171,000. $190,000 ÷ ($190,000 + $740,000 + $132,000) = 18% of total market value; $950,000 purchase price × 18% = $171,000 cost of furniture
On January 1, Year 2, Grande Company had a $16,000 balance in the Accounts Receivable account and a zero balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts account. During Year 2, Grande provided $104,000 of service on account. The company collected $97,000 cash from accounts receivable. Uncollectible accounts are estimated to be 2% of sales on account. The amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized on the Year 2 income statement is: $1,000. $320. $1,940. $2,080.
$2,080. $104,000 sales on account × 2% = $2,080 uncollectible accounts expense
Monroe Minerals Company purchased a copper mine for $120,000,000. The mine was expected to produce 50,000 tons of copper over its useful life. During Year 1, the company extracted 6,000 tons of copper. The copper was sold for $4,500 per ton. Assume that the company incurred $8,040,000 in operating expenses during Year 1. Based on this information, how much net income would Monroe report in Year 1? $12,600,000. $6,360,000. $14,400,000. $4,560,000.
$4,560,000. $120,000,000 ÷ 50,000 tons = $2,400 per ton; 6,000 tons × $4,500 = $27,000,000 revenue; 6,000 × $2,400 = $14,400,000 depletion expense; $27,000,000 revenue - $14,400,000 depletion - $8,040,000 operating expenses = $4,560,000 net income
Stubbs Company uses the perpetual inventory method. On January 1, Year 1, Stubbs purchased 400 units of inventory that cost $8.00 each. On January 10, Year 1, the company purchased an additional 600 units of inventory that cost $9.00 each. If Stubbs uses a weighted average cost flow method and sells 700 units of inventory for $16.00 each, the amount of gross margin reported on the income statement will be: $5,000. $6,020. $5,180. $5,250.
$5,180. [(400 × $8.00) + (600 × $9.00)] ÷ 1,000 = $8.60 per unit; 700 × $8.60 = $6,020 cost of goods sold; $11,200 sales - $6,020 cost of goods sold = $5,180 gross margin
Domino Company uses the aging of accounts receivable method to estimate uncollectible accounts expense. Domino began Year 2 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $76,500 and $5,800, respectively. During the year, the company wrote off $4,640 in uncollectible accounts. In preparation for the company's Year 2 estimate, Domino prepared the following aging schedule: Number of days Receivables % Likely to be past due amount uncollectible Current $ 104,000 1 % 0-30 45,000 5 % 31-60 9,920 10 % 61-90 4,440 25 % Over 90 3,800 50 % Total $ 167,160 What will Domino record as Uncollectible Accounts Expense for Year 2? $6,132 $4,640 $1,512 $7,292
$6,132 ($104,000 × 1%) + ($45,000 × 5%) + ($9,920 × 10%) + ($4,440 × 25%) + ($3,800 × 50%) = $7,292 estimated ending allowance balance; $5,800 beginning allowance balance + uncollectible accounts expense - $4,640 write-offs = $7,292 ending allowance balance; uncollectible accounts expense = $7,292 - $5,800 + $4,640 = $6,132
Farmer Company purchased equipment on January 1, Year 1 for $82,000. The equipment is estimated to have a 5-year life and a salvage value of $4,000. The company uses the straight-line depreciation method. At the beginning of Year 4, Farmer revised the expected life to eight years. The annual amount of depreciation expense for each of the remaining years would be: $4,400. $6,240. $7,040. $3,900.
$6,240. ($82,000 cost - $4,000 salvage value) ÷ 5 years = $15,600 original annual depreciation; $82,000 - ($15,600 × 3 years) = $35,200 book value at the time of revision; ($35,200 book value - $4,000 salvage value) ÷ 5 years of revised remaining useful life = $6,240 new annual depreciation
Anton Co. uses the perpetual inventory method. Anton purchased 400 units of inventory that cost $12.00 each. At a later date the company purchased an additional 600 units of inventory that cost $16.00 each. If Anton uses the FIFO cost flow method and sells 700 units of inventory, the amount of cost of goods sold will be: $8,400. $9,600. $10,400. $11,200.
$9,600 (400 × $12.00) + (300 × $16.00) = $9,600
Riley Company borrowed $36,000 on April 1, Year 1 from the Titan Bank. The note issued by Riley carried a one year term and a 7% annual interest rate. Riley earned cash revenue of $1,700 in Year 1 and $1,400 in Year 2. Assume no other transactions. The amount of cash flow from operating activities that would appear on the Year 2 statement of cash flows would be: $770 inflow $1,400 inflow $38,520 outflow $1,120 outflow
1120 outflow $36,000 × 7% = $2,520 cash paid for interest on the note; $1,400 inflow from revenue − $2,520 outflow for interest = $1,120 outflow for operating activities. The repayment of principal is a financing activity.

The five-year term bonds were issued at 97 and had a 7½% stated rate of interest that is payable in cash on December 31st of each year. Jones amortizes the bond discount using the straight-line method. Based on this information: The total amount of liabilities shown on Jones's December 31, Year 2 balance sheet would be: $196,400. $191,600. $195,200. $194,000.
196400 $194,000 issue price + $1,200 amortization for Year 1 + $1,200 amortization for Year 2 = $196,400
Wayne Company issued bonds with a face value of $600,000, a 6% stated rate of interest, and a 10-year term. The bonds were issued on January 1, Year 1, and Wayne uses the straight-line method of amortization. Interest is paid annually on December 31. Assuming Wayne issued the bond for 102½, the amount of interest expense appearing on the Year 1 income statement would be: $36,000. $15,000. $34,500. $37,500.
34500 $600,000 × 6% = $36,000 interest payment; $600,000 × 2½% = $15,000 premium/10 years = $1,500 amortization; $36,000 − $1,500 = $34,500 interest expense
