Because it provides information regarding changes in balances over a period of time, it will be labeled similar to "For the year ended 12/31/X1". Balance Sheet Correct! Income Statement Correct. The Income Statement provides information about the Revenues and Expenses earned and incurred over a period of time, such as a year. For example, For the year ended 12/31/X1. It helps explain how Retained Earnings, which is part of Shareholder Equity changed from the beginning of the period to the end of the period as reported on the beginning and ending balance sheets. Correct. The three core financial statements that articulate into the balance sheet and provide information for the period about how the balance sheet amounts "As of" the beginning of the year changed to the ending balance sheet amounts "As of" the end of the year are the Income Statement, Statement of Shareholder Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows. Please also note that the Statement of Retained Earnings also describes changes in the Equity balances on the balance sheet, but because it is often incorporated into the Statement of Shareholder Equity, I did not list it separately as one of the core articulating statements.

Statement of Operations Correct. The Statement of Operations is just another name for the Income Statement. The Income Statement provides information about the Revenues and Expenses earned and incurred over a period of time, such as a year. For example, For the year ended 12/31/X1. It helps explain how Retained Earnings, which is part of Shareholder Equity changed from the beginning of the period to the end of the period as reported on the beginning and ending balance sheets. You Answered Balance Sheet Incorrect. The balance sheet provides a financial snapshot of all of a company's assets, liabilities and equity "As of" a point in time, such as "As of 12/31/X1". This is the statement whose changes are trying to be explained via the articulation of all the other statements. Correct! Profit and Loss Account Correct.

Question 30 / 1 pts Mod 6.2: What does it mean for the general purpose financial statements to "articulate"? The financial statements are written in English. You Answered The financial statements have been audited by an auditor. Incorrect. Before an auditor even begins to audit the financial statements, the balance sheet should balance indicating that the other financial statements have properly articulated into it. The financial statements articulate because changes in one financial statement, such as the Income Statement influences other financial statements such as the Statement of Retained Earnings and the Balance Sheet. The financial statements result in ever increasing amounts. Correct Answer The financial statements interrelate to each other. Incorrect. The financial statements articulate because changes in one financial statement, such as the Income Statement influences other financial statements such as the Statement of Retained Earnings and the Balance Sheet. Question 40 / 1 pts Mod 6.2: Assume DEF company's beginning Retained Earnings was $45 and during the year its cash increased by $3, it had Revenues of $4, its owners contributed an additional $6 to increase their ownership stake in the company, it had Expenses of $8 and declared and paid $3 of dividends. Compute DEF's Retained Earnings at the end of the year. You Answered Correct Answer38 Incorrect. Retained Earnings is computed as follows: Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income - Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings And the Net Income to be used above, is computed as follows: Revenues - Expenses = Net Income This is a great example of how revenues, expenses and dividends articulate into and influence the year-end balances on the balance sheet. The other information provided in this problem about Capital Contributions and the change in Cash have no direct effect on the computation of Retained Earnings. They are "smoke" and irrelevant to this solution. Question 50 / 1 pts Mod 6.2: If you wanted to determine how much cash was paid for Vehicles, Equipment, Building and Land during a given period, which of the following statements would be the most helpful in quickly finding that number? Correct Answer Statement of Cash Flows Balance sheet You Answered Statement of Shareholder Equity Incorrect. The Statement of Shareholder Equity does not track payments for assets. It only tracks increases and decreases in the Shareholders' claims against the company for those assets. Income Statement Incorrect. The cash paid assets such as vehicles, equipment, building and land would be noted as a cash outflow in the company's Statement of Cash Flows. See additional explanations above.

Question 31 / 1 pts Mod 6.2: Which of the following items would cause an INCREASE in a company's Retained Earnings account from one year to the next? Choose all that apply. Correct! Net Income Correct. When a company earns Net Income, such income belongs to the owners and will be retained in the company (as Retained Earnings) until the owners are able to convince the company to pay the earnings out in the form of a Dividend. If one owner owns 100% of the company, they will not have a very difficult time convincing the company to pay the dividends out thus reducing the owners' Retained Earnings. Net Income is the key that serves to increase Retained Earnings. The formula for the Statement of Retained Earnings is as follows: Beginning Retained Earnings + Net Income - Net Loss - Dividends = Ending Retained Earnings Net Loss Dividends paid Capital Contributions Correct. When a company earns Net Income, such income belongs to the owners and will be retained in the company (as Retained Earnings) until the owners are able to convince the company to pay the earnings out in the form of a Dividend.

Because it provides information regarding changes in balances over a period of time, it will be labeled similar to "For the year ended 12/31/X1". Correct! Statement of Cash Flows Correct. The Statement of Cash Flows provides information about the impact on the company's beginning to ending cash balances as caused by its operating, investing and financing cash flows over a period of time, such as "For the year ended 12/31/X1". Correct. The three core financial statements that articulate into the balance sheet and provide information for the period about how the balance sheet amounts "As of" the beginning of the year changed to the ending balance sheet amounts "As of" the end of the year are the Income Statement, Statement of Shareholder Equity and the Statement of Cash Flows. Please also note that the Statement of Retained Earnings also describes changes in the Equity balances on the balance sheet, but because it is often incorporated into the Statement of Shareholder Equity, I did not list it separately as one of the core articulating statements. Question 50 / 1 pts Mod 6.2: Assume DEF company's beginning Retained Earnings was $39 and during the year its cash increased by $9, it had Revenues of $5, its owners contributed an additional $9 to increase their ownership stake in the company, it had Expenses of $5 and declared and paid $6 of dividends.

Question 11 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: It is impossible that a company can report positive net income on the income statement, but have negative cash flows from operating activities on the statement of cash flows. True Correct! False Correct. This is a FALSE statement. Because under accrual accounting, revenues are recorded when they are earned, even if the cash may not be received until much later, and because expenses are recorded when incurred not necessarily when cash is paid, the accrual-basis income statement could show positive income even though the actual cash flows from operating activities are negative. Correct. This is a FALSE statement.

Question 21 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: At the end of the prior month Sage Co's balance sheet had the following balances: Assets $200, Liabilities $160, Equity $40 On Day 1, Sage Co. sold $70 of inventory to customers for $100 on account (i.e. on credit) What is the balance in Sage Co.'s liabilities at the end of Day 1? Correct! Correct Answers160 (with margin: 0) Correct. This sales transaction has no effect on liabilities. Assets will be affected by receivables increasing by the sales price, and decrease for the cost of the inventory sold, and equity will increase by the sales revenue earned and decreasing by the cost of goods sold incurred (which netted equals the gross margin on the sale), but liabilities are unaffected. Question 31 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: At the end of the prior month Charlie Co's balance sheet had the following balances: Assets $100, Liabilities $20, Equity $80 On Day 1, Charlie Co. paid off an account payable to its vendor in the amount of $13. What is the balance in Charlie Co.'s liabilities at the end of Day 1? Correct! Correct Answer7 Correct. Liabilities of $20 will be reduced by the payment on the account payable because accounts payable are liabilities and they reduce when they are paid off. Question 41 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: Compute Company F's gross margin (as a $ amount, NOT a %) for the month assuming it had the following transactions: Day 5 Sold inventory costing $57 to a customer for $34 in cash. Day 12 Sold inventory costing $33 to a customer on account for $25. Day 20 Made a $84 sale on account of inventory that cost only $26. Correct! Correct Answer27 Correct. Gross margin is computed as Net Sales Revenue Less Cost of Goods Sold. Net Sales Revenue = Total Sales Revenues less: any merchandise returns ($0 in this example) less: sales discounts offered for paying cash early ($0 in this example) = Net Sales Revenue Cost of Goods Sold = the cost of all the inventory sold to customers, as well as damaged and obsolete inventory, even though it wasn't sold, but rather possibly thrown away. Just add up all three Sales Revenue amounts and deduct all three Cost of Goods Sold amounts and you have your Gross Margin. If your Gross Margin is positive, you are selling your inventory for more than your cost. This number needs to be sufficiently large in order to pay your other expenses, such as salaries and wages, rent, utilities, marketing, etc. Question 51 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: Bunson Co. began Day 1 with $1,000 of assets ($300 of which was inventory). It also had $300 of liabilities and $700 of equity. On Day 1 it ordered $200 of inventory to be delivered in 5 days. Compute Bunson Co.'s ending balances for assets, liabilities and equity. Assets $1,200; Liabilities $300, Equity $900. Correct! Assets $1,000; Liabilities $300, Equity $700. Assets $1,200; Liabilities $500, Equity $700. Assets $800; Liabilities $300, Equity $500. Correct. All the balance sheet balances remain unchanged. Assets are $1,000, Liabilities are $300, and Equity is $700. A purchase order to receive inventory some time in the future has no direct impact on the balance sheet because 1) you have not obtained control of the inventory yet, so assets are unaffected and 2) you are not obligated to pay for the inventory yet, so liabilities are unaffected, and 3) you have not sold the inventory to customers yet, so equity is not affected.
Question 11 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: At the end of the prior month Charlie Co's balance sheet had the following balances: Assets $100, Liabilities $20, Equity $80 On Day 1, Charlie Co. paid off an account payable to its vendor in the amount of $17. What is the balance in Charlie Co.'s liabilities at the end of Day 1? Correct! Correct Answer3 Correct. Liabilities of $20 will be reduced by the payment on the account payable because accounts payable are liabilities and they reduce when they are paid off. Question 21 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: When a company pays off an account payable for inventory that it purchased in the past, what impact will the payment have on its balance sheet equation? Assets will be unaffected, Liabilities will decrease, Equity will be unaffected. Correct! Assets will decrease, Liabilities will decrease, Equity will be unaffected. Correct. Assets will decrease because cash (which is an asset) will be given away to the supplier. Liabilities will decrease because when you pay off the supplier your liabilities (i.e. accounts payable) to the supplier must necessarily decrease. Equity will be unaffected because the owners' equity is not impacted in any way. The decrease in assets is exactly equal to the decrease in liabilities so the balance sheet already balances without affecting equity. Assets will increase, Liabilities will decrease, Equity will increase. Assets will decrease, Liabilities will be unaffected, Equity will decrease. Correct. Assets will decrease because cash (which is an asset) will be given away to the supplier. Liabilities will decrease because when you pay off the supplier your liabilities (i.e. accounts payable) to the supplier must necessarily decrease. Equity will be unaffected because the owners' equity is not impacted in any way. The decrease in assets is exactly equal to the decrease in liabilities so the balance sheet already balances without affecting equity.

Correct! Correct Answer106 Correct. Equity will increase by the gross margin earned on this sale as follows: Beginning Equity $40 + Net Income (i.e. in this case the only net income we have was generated by this sale with Sales Revenues Less the Cost of the Goods Sold) = Ending Equity Question 40 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: Assume last week that Company A ordered $1,000 of inventory on account (i.e. on credit) from Company B. This week, Company A sent a truck over and personally picked up the ordered inventory and promised to pay for the inventory within 30 days. What impact will Company A's picking up of the inventory have on Company A's income statement, statement of owners' equity, balance sheet and statement of cash flows? income statement (reduce income), statement of owners' equity (reduce equity), balance sheet (increase assets, liabilities increase, equity decrease) and statement of cash flows (no effect) You Answered income statement (decrease income), statement of owners' equity (decrease equity), balance sheet (assets increase, liabilities increase, equity decrease) and statement of cash flows (decrease cash on hand) Incorrect. Because Company A obtained possession of the ordered inventory which it has agreed to pay for, its assets will increase (particularly inventory will go up), liabilities will increase (particularly accounts payable will go up), and equity will not be affected because no revenue or expense has yet resulted. The other financial statements remain unaffected. Correct Answer income statement (no effect), statement of owners' equity (no effect), balance sheet (assets increase, liabilities increase, equity no effect) and statement of cash flows (no effect) income statement (reduce income), statement of owners' equity (no effect), balance sheet (assets increase, liabilities increase, equity no effect) and statement of cash flows (no effect) Incorrect.

The other financial statements remain unaffected. Question 51 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: At the end of the prior month Charlie Co's balance sheet had the following balances: Assets $100, Liabilities $20, Equity $80 On Day 1, Charlie Co. owners contributed cash of $25. What is the balance in Charlie Co.'s equity at the end of Day 1? Correct! Correct Answer105 Correct. Charlie Co. started with $80 in Equity and then the owners made additional contributions. Therefore, the new ending equity balance is $80 + the new contributions from the owners.
Question 11 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: Compute the ending asset, liability and equity balances for a company that began the month with the following balances: Assets $700, Liabilities $140, Equity $560 And then issued $400 of stock to investors in exchange for cash.

Beginning equity was $560 and $400 of additional equity shares were issued resulting in ending equity of $960.Correct Answer$960 Correct. Beginning assets were $700 + $400 of cash = $1,100. Beginning liabilities were $140 and the issuance of stock to investors had no impact on liabilities because the company did not borrow any money from the investors, but rather provided them ownership shares instead. Beginning equity was $560 and $400 of additional equity shares were issued resulting in ending equity of $960.

Correct! Correct Answer230 Correct. Sage Co's ending assets would be computed as follows: Beginning Assets: $200 + Increase in accounts receivable for sales price charged to the customer for the inventory - Decrease in inventory for the cost of the goods (i.e. inventory) sold to the customer = Ending Assets Question 31 / 1 pts Mod 6.3: When a company pays off an account payable for inventory that it purchased in the past, what impact will the payment have on its balance sheet equation?

You Answered Perform an audit of the company's compliance with all laws and regulations. Incorrect. In the US, there are many, many laws and regulations that have no direct financial statement impact on the company's financial statements and therefore are irrelevant to a financial statement audit. For example, let's assume a company runs a delivery business and all of its drivers consistently drive 1 mile per hour faster than what is allowed by law. Although the Company is breaking the law every day, such does not directly impact the company's financial statements and therefore the auditor would not audit such compliance or lack thereof.

No CEO or CFO would ever be required to make such certification because too many variables in the future can influence the value of a company's stock. In fact, if you ever hear a CEO make such a guarantee, I would be very, very cautious in considering an investment in such a company. Inorrect. See explanations above.
