Post, Inc. had a credit translation adjustment of $30,000 for the year ended December 31, year 1. The functional currency of Post's subsidiary is the currency of the country in which it is located. Additionally, Post had a receivable from a foreign customer payable in the local currency of the customer. On December 31, year 1, this receivable for 200,000 local currency units (LCU) was correctly included in Post's balance sheet at $110,000.

In Post's year 2 consolidated income statement, how much should be reported as foreign exchange transaction gain? $0 $10,000 $30,000 $40,000
$10,000 Therefore, a foreign exchange transaction gain of $10,000 ($120,000 − $110,000) should be reported on the year 2 income statement.
Foster Co. adjusted its allowance for uncollectible accounts at year-end. The general ledger balances for the accounts receivable and the related allowance account were $1,000,000 and $40,000, respectively. Foster uses the percentage-of-receivables method to estimate its allowance for uncollectible accounts. Accounts receivable were estimated to be 5% uncollectible. What amount should Foster record as an adjustment to its allowance for uncollectible accounts at year-end? $10,000 decrease. $10,000 increase. $50,000 decrease. $50,000 increase.
$10,000 increase. This answer is correct because the required balance of the allowance is $50,000 ($1,000,000 × 5%), and the existing balance is $40,000. Therefore an increase of $10,000 is required.
Verona Co. had $500,000 in short-term liabilities at the end of the current year.

North Corp. has an employee benefit plan for compensated absences that gives employees ten paid vacation days and ten paid sick days per year. Both vacation and sick days can be carried over indefinitely. Employees can elect to receive payment in lieu of vacation days; however, no payment is given for sick days not taken. At December 31, 2004, North's unadjusted balance of liability for compensated absences was $21,000. North estimated that there were 150 vacation days and 75 sick days available at December 31, 2004. North's employees earn an average of $100 per day. In its December 31, 2004 balance sheet, what amount of liability for compensated absences is North required to report? $36,000 $22,500 $21,000 $15,000
$15,000 The liability must be accrued only for the vacation pay, because it is probable that paid vacations will be taken. Therefore, the liability is $15,000 (150 days × $100 per day).
On January 2, Year 1, Saxe Company purchased 20% of Lex Corporation's common stock for $150,000. Saxe Corporation intends to hold the stock indefinitely. This investment did not give Saxe the ability to exercise significant influence over Lex. During Year 1 Lex reported net income of $175,000 and paid cash dividends of $100,000 on its common stock. There was no change in the fair value of the common stock during the Year.

What amount should Fine report as a liability for accrued interest at December 31, year 2? $0 $1,000 $1,200 $2,320
$2,320 Interest for the first year is $1,200 ($10,000 × 12%). $1,120 ($11,200 × 12% × 10/12), and total accrued interest at 12/31/Y2 is $2,320 ($1,200 + $1,120).
On September 30, year 2, fire at Brock Company's only warehouse caused severe damage to its entire inventory. Based on recent history, Brock has a gross profit of 30% of net sales. The following information is available from Brock's records for the 9 months ended September 30, year 2: Inventory at 1/1/Y2 $550,000 Purchases 3,000,000 Net sales 4,000,000 A physical inventory disclosed usable damaged goods which Brock estimates can be sold to a jobber for $50,000. Using the gross profit method, the estimated cost of goods sold for the 9 months ended September 30, year 2, should be $2,050,000 $2,485,000 $2,750,000 $2,800,000
$2,800,000 A short cut is to realize that if the gross profit rate is 30%, cost of goods sold must be 70% of sales; therefore, CGS is $2,800,000 ($4,000,000 × 70%).
Talton Co. installed new assembly line production equipment at a cost of $185,000. Talton had to rearrange the assembly line and remove a wall to install the equipment. The rearrangement cost was $12,000 and the wall removal cost was $3,000. The rearrangement did not increase the life of the assembly line but it did make it more efficient.

The applicable rate of interest is 8%. The present value of an ordinary annuity factor for three years at 8% is 2.58, and the present value for the future amount of a single sum of one dollar for three years at 8% is .735. Shipping charges for the equipment were $2,000, and installation charges were $3,500. What is the capitalized cost of the equipment? $19,480 $21,480 $24,980 $27,500
$24,980 The fair value of the equipment is $4,000 + (2.58 × $6,000) = $19,480. The shipping charges and installation charges should also be capitalized. Therefore, the total capitalized cost of the equipment is $24,980 ($19,480 + $2,000 + $3,500).

During Year 3, Manfred Corp. guaranteed a supplier's $500,000 loan from a bank. On October 1, Year 4, Manfred was notified that the supplier had defaulted on the loan and filed for bankruptcy protection. Counsel believes Manfred will probably have to pay between $250,000 and $450,000 under its guarantee. As a result of the supplier's bankruptcy, Manfred entered into a contract in December Year 4 to retool its machines so that Manfred could accept parts from other suppliers. Retooling costs are estimated to be $300,000. What amount should Manfred report as a liability in its December 31, Year 4, balance sheet? $250,000 $450,000 $550,000 $750,000
$250,000 The amount depends on the outcome of the bankruptcy proceedings. When a range of values is estimated with no one value being more probable than the others, the lowest amount is accrued. Thus, $250,000 is accrued as of the end of Year 4.
A company exchanged land with an appraised value of $50,000 and an original cost of $20,000 for machinery with a fair value of $55,000. Assuming that the transaction has commercial substance, what is the gain on the exchange? $0 $5,000 $30,000 $35,000

A plant asset under construction by a firm for its own use was completed at the end of the current year. The following costs were incurred: Materials $60,000 Labor 30,000 Incremental overhead 10,000 Capitalized interest 20,000 The asset has a service life of 10 years, estimated residual value of $10,000, and will be depreciated under the double declining balance method. At completion, the asset was worth $105,000 at fair value. What amount of depreciation will be recognized on the asset in total over its service life? $105,000 $120,000 $95,000 $90,000
$95,000 The sum of the four listed costs is $120,000, which exceeds fair value of $105,000. Therefore, the asset is capitalized at $105,000, the lesser of the two amounts. Subtracting the $10,000 residual value yields $95,000 depreciable cost-the total depreciation over the life of the asset.

Pine Corp.'s books showed pretax income of $800,000 for the year ended December 31, year 3. In the computation of federal income taxes, the following data were considered: Gain on an involuntary conversion (Pine has elected to replace the property within the statutory period using total proceeds)$350,000 Depreciation deducted for tax purposes in excess of depreciable deducted for book purposes 50,000 Federal estimated tax payments, year 3 70,000 Enacted federal tax rate, year 3 30% What amount should Pine report as its current federal income tax liability on its December 31, year 3 balance sheet? $ 50,000 $ 65,000 $120,000 $135,000
This answer is correct. The current federal income tax liability is based on taxable income, which is computed in the "book to tax reconciliation" below. Accounting income$800,000 Nontaxable gain (350,000) Excess tax depreciation (50,000) Taxable income$400,000 The gain on involuntary conversion was included in accounting income but is deferred for tax purposes. Depreciation deducted for tax purposes in excess of book depreciation also causes taxable income to be less than accounting income. Taxes payable before considering estimated tax payments is $120,000 ($400,000 × 30%). Since tax payments of $70,000 have already been made, the 12/31/Y3 current federal income tax liability is $50,000 ($120,000 − $70,000).
