Accounting Exam 2

Jing Company was started on January 1, Year 1 when it issued common stock for $50,000 cash. Also, on January 1, Year 1 the company purchased office equipment that cost $34,000 cash. The equipment was delivered under terms FOB shipping point, and transportation cost was $2,000. The equipment had a five-year useful life and a $12,000 expected salvage value. At the end of Year 5, assuming the equipment had not been sold, the book value of the office equipment using straight-line depreciation and double-declining-balance depreciation, respectively, would be: $12,000 and $1,680. $12,000 and $12,000. $0 and $0. None of these answer choices are correct.

$12,000 and $12,000 At the end of Year 5, the end of the office equipment's 5-year useful life, the book value will be equal to the $12,000 salvage value, regardless of which depreciation method is used.

At the end of the accounting period, Houston Company had $5,000 of par value common stock issued, additional paid-in capital in excess of par value − common of $5,800, retained earnings of $6,000, and $2,250 of treasury stock. The total amount of stockholders' equity is: $19,050. $8,550. $14,050. $14,550.

$14,550. $5,000 common stock + $5,800 additional paid-in capital in excess of par value + $6,000 retained earnings − $2,250 treasury stock = $14,550

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? Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations. $125,200 $193,450 $157,145 $165,890

$157,145 Percent of purchase price to be allocated to equipment = (Appraised value of equipment of $726,000 ÷ Total appraised value of $2,200,000 (or $374,000 + $1,100,000 + $726,000) = 33%; Cost of equipment = Purchase price of $1,900,000 × 33% = $627,000; Cost per unit of production = (Cost of equipment of $627,000 − Salvage value of $34,000) ÷ Productive capacity of 1,000,000 units = $0.593 per unit; Year 1 depreciation = $0.593per unit × 265,000 units = $157,145

Madison Company owned an asset that had cost $44,000. The company sold the asset on January 1, Year 4, for $16,000. Accumulated depreciation on the day of sale amounted to $32,000. Based on this information, the sale would result in a: $16,000 increase in total assets. $16,000 cash inflow in the investing activities section of the cash flow statement. $4,000 cash inflow in the financing activities section of the cash flow statement. $4,000 gain in the investing activities section of the statement of cash flows.

$16,000 cash inflow in the investing activities section of the cash flow statement. This transaction increases assets (cash) by $16,000, decreases assets (the book value of asset) by $12,000 (or cost of $44,000 − accumulated depreciation of $32,000), resulting in a net increase in assets of $4,000. Because the cash proceeds of $16,000 exceed the asset's book value of $12,000, Madison also reports a gain on the sale of $4,000, which increases revenue (gain), net income, and stockholders' equity (retained earnings). The gain is not reported in the investing activities section; instead, the $16,000 cash proceeds are reported as a cash inflow for investing activities.

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, the amount of cost that would be allocated to the office furniture is closest to: Note: Round your intermediate percentages to 2 decimal places: ie 0.054231 = 5.42%. $190,000. $316,667. $105,000. $171,000.

$171,000 The total price of a basket purchase must be allocated among the assets acquired. Accountants commonly allocate the purchase price using the relative fair market value method. Percentage allocated to office furniture = Appraised amount for office furniture of $190,000 ÷ Total appraised values of $1,062,000 (or $190,000 + $740,000 + $132,000) = 17.89%; Allocation of purchase price to office furniture = Total purchase price of $950,000 × 17.89% = $169,955.

On January 1, Year 1, Phillips Company made a basket purchase including land, a building and equipment for $380,000. The appraised values of the assets are $20,000 for the land, $340,000 for the building and $40,000 for equipment. Phillips uses the double-declining-balance method of depreciation for the equipment which is estimated to have a useful life of four years and a salvage value of $5,000. The depreciation expense for Year 1 for the equipment is: $17,000. $20,000. $19,000. $9,500.

$19,000. $40,000 ÷ ($20,000 + $340,000 + $40,000) = 10% of total appraised value; $380,000 purchase price × 10% = $38,000 cost of equipment; $38,000 × (2 × 25% straight-line rate) = $19,000 depreciation expense in Year 1.

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 recognized service revenue 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 x 2% = 2080

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 recognized service revenue 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: $1,940. $320. $2,080. $1,000.

$2,080. $104,000 sales on account × 2% = $2,080 uncollectible accounts expense

Allegheny Company ended Year 1 with balances in Accounts Receivable and Allowance for Doubtful Accounts of $23,000 and $900, respectively. During Year 2, Allegheny wrote off $1,500 of Uncollectible Accounts. After aging its receivables, Allegheny estimates that the ending Allowance for Doubtful Accounts balance should be $1,600. What will Allegheny report as Uncollectible Accounts Expense on its Year 2 income statement? $700 $1,600 $2,200 $1,500

$2,200 $900 beginning allowance balance − $1,500 write-offs + uncollectible accounts expense = $1,600 ending allowance balance; uncollectible accounts expense = $1,600 − $900 + $1,500 = $2,200

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: $24,800. $25,920. $24,720. $24,000.

$24,800. $24,000 × 8% × 5/12 = $800 interest payable; $24,000 notes payable + $800 interest payable = $24,800 total liabilities.

The inventory records for Radford Company reflected the following Beginning inventory on May 1100 units @ $4.00First purchase on May 7300 units @ $4.40second purchase on May 17500 units @ $4.60Third purchase on May 23100 units @ $4.80Sales on May 31900 units @ $7.80 What is the amount of gross margin assuming the FIFO cost flow method is used? $3,420 $3,000 $2,920 $4,020

$3,000 Under FIFO, the cost of the items purchased first is reported on the income statement, and the cost of the items purchased last is reported on the balance sheet. Cost of goods sold = (100 × $4.00) + (300 × $4.40) + (500 × $4.60) = $4,020; Gross margin = $7,020 sales − $4,020 cost of goods sold = $3,000.

On March 1, Bartholomew Company purchased a new stamping machine with a list price of $34,000. The company paid cash for the machine; therefore, it was allowed a 5% discount. Other costs associated with the machine were: transportation costs, $550; sales tax paid, $1,360; installation costs, $450; routine maintenance during the first month of operation, $500. The cost recorded for the machine was: $32,300. $34,210. $35,160. $34,660.

$34,660 The cost includes the purchase price (less discounts) plus any costs necessary to get the asset in the location and condition for its intended use. Maintenance costs are the costs of routine maintenance and minor repairs that are incurred to keep an asset in good working order. These costs are expensed in the period in which they are incurred. Cost of machine = $34,000 − ($34,000 × 5%) + $550 transportation + $1,360 sales tax + $450 installation = $34,660.

The Miller Company recognized $190,000 of service revenue earned on account during Year 2. There was no beginning balance in the accounts receivable and allowance accounts. During Year 2, Miller collected $136,000 of cash from accounts receivable. The company estimates that it will be unable to collect 3% of its sales on account. The amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized on the Year 2 income statement was: $54,000. $4,080. $5,700. $1,320.

$5,700 $190,000 revenue on account x 3% = $5,700

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 $4,640 in uncollectible accounts. In preparation for the company's Year 2 estimate, Domino prepared the following aging schedule: Number of Days Receivables Percentage Likely to BePast DueAmountUncollectibleCurrent$ 104,0001%0 to 3045,0005%31 to 609,92010%61 to 904,44025%Over 903,80050%Total$ 167,160 What will Domino record as Uncollectible Accounts Expense for Year 2? $7,292 $4,640 $1,512 $6,132

Jing Company was started on January 1, Year 1 when it issued common stock for $50,000 cash. Also, on January 1, Year 1 the company purchased office equipment that cost $34,000 cash. The equipment was delivered under terms FOB shipping point, and transportation cost was $2,000. The equipment had a five-year useful life and a $12,000 expected salvage value. Assume that Jing Company earned $30,000 cash revenue and incurred $19,000 in cash expenses in Year 3. Using straight-line depreciation and assuming that the office equipment was sold on December 31, Year 3 for $16,000, the amount of net income or (loss) appearing on the December 31, Year 3 income statement would be: ($6,600). $5,400. $600. $6,600.

$600 ($36,000 cost − $12,000 salvage value) ÷ 5 years = $4,800 annual depreciation expense; $36,000 cost − (3 years × $4,800) accumulated depreciation = $21,600 book value at the end of Year 3. $16,000 proceeds from sale − $21,600 = ($5,600) loss on sale of equipment; $30,000 revenue − $19,000 cash expenses − $4,800 depreciation expense − $5,600 loss on sale = $600 net income

Rosewood Company made a loan of $16,000 to one of the company's employees on April 1, Year 1. The one-year note carried a 6% rate of interest. The amount of interest revenue that Rosewood would report during the years ending December 31, Year 1 and Year 2, respectively, would be: $7,292 $4,640 $1,512 $6,132

$720 and $240 $16,000 × 6% × 9/12 months = $720 interest revenue in April − December, Year 1; $16,000 × 6% × 3/12 months = $240 interest revenue in January − March, Year 2

Rosewood Company made a loan of $16,000 to one of the company's employees on April 1, Year 1. The one-year note carried a 6% rate of interest.

$720 and $240. $16,000 × 6% × 9/12 months = $720 interest revenue in April − December, Year 1; $16,000 × 6% × 3/12 months = $240 interest revenue in January − March, Year 2

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 net income on the Year 2 income statement would be: $770. $630. $(190). $1,890.

$770 $36,000 × 7% × 3/12 months = $630 interest expense; $1,400 revenue − $630 interest expense = $770 net income

Blair Scott started a sole proprietorship by depositing $75,000 cash in a business checking account. During the accounting period the business borrowed $30,000 from a bank, earned $18,000 of net income, and Scott withdrew $12,000 cash from the business. Based on this information, at the end of the accounting period Scott's capital account contained a balance of: $111,000. $93,000. $81,000. $72,000.

$81,000. $75,000 + $18,000 net income − $12,000 withdrawal = $81,000 ending balance in capital account

Anton Company 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: $10,400. $9,600. $8,400. $11,200.

$9,600 Under FIFO, the cost of the items purchased first is reported on the income statement, and the cost of the items purchased last is reported on the balance sheet. Cost of goods sold = (400 × $12.00) + (300 × $16.00) = $9,600

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. What value will be recorded for the building? $175,000 $1,100,000 $950,000 $800,000

$950,000 The total price of a basket purchase must be allocated among the assets acquired. Accountants commonly allocate the purchase price using the relative fair market value method. Percentage allocated to building = Appraised amount for building of $1,100,000 ÷ Total appraised values of $2,200,000 (or $374,000 + $1,100,000 + $726,000) = 50%; Allocation of actual purchase price to building = Total purchase price of $1,900,000 × 50% = $950,000

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $16.00, and the item purchased second cost $18.00. Blake sold one of the items for $24.00. Which of the following statements is true? Cost of goods sold will be higher if Blake uses the FIFO cost flow method than if weighted average cost flow method was used. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses the weighted average cost flow method than if the FIFO cost flow method was used. The dollar amount assigned to ending inventory will be the same no matter which cost flow method is used. Gross margin will be higher if Blake uses LIFO than it would be if FIFO were used.

Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses the weighted average cost flow method than if the FIFO cost flow method was used. If Blake uses weighted average, ending inventory will be $17.00.
