Suppose for the year 2015, Speedy Chef, a fast food restaurant, had a Gross Profit of $1,281,648. Speedy Chef had the following expenses: Cost of Goods Sold $1,251,167 Selling Expense $70,578 Rent Expense $156,941 Utilities Expense $73,994 Insurance Expense $35,148 Wages $505,245 General & Administrative $24,358 Miscellaneous $32,968 Interest Expense $4,059 Income Tax Expense $60,596 What would Speedy Chef's Income Before Taxes be for 2015
Income Before Taxes is calculated by subtracting Operating Expenses and Non-Operating Expenses from Gross Profit (note that Cost of Goods Sold has already been subtracted to get Gross Profit, and Income Tax Expense should not be subtracted to get Income Before Taxes so these two figures can be ignored in this case). $1,281,648 - $70,578 - $156,941 - $73,994 - $35,148 - $505,245 - $24,358 - $32,968 - $4,059 = $378,357

Based on this income statement for Company ZYX for the year ending December 31, 2014, what adjustment would need to be made to Net Income to account for Gain or Loss in calculating cash flow from Operating Activities using the indirect method? Adjustment of (16,000) in the Operating Section Adjustment of 16,000 in the Operating Section Adjustment of 30,000 in the Operating Section Adjustment of 16,000 in the Investing Section
Adjustment of (16,000) in the Operating Section The total cash flows received from both the sale of equipment and the sale of debt investment are investing activities and not operating activities. The net of the gain and loss is a gain of $16,000. To eliminate this gain, the $16,000 amount should be subtracted from net income. Since the gain would have increased net income, this subtraction ensures that the net effect on cash flow from operations is zero.

A company is considering buying a diagnostic piece of equipment for $250,000. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis for 10 years with a salvage value of $40,000. The company expects the machine to be able to generate after-tax revenues of $33,000 in each of the 10 years, and then it will sell the machine for $40,000 at the end of 10 years. The sum of the undiscounted cash flows is $370,000. The discount rate is 7%. The net present value is calculated to be $2,112. Which of the following statements is true? The company should not buy the equipment because the NPV is less than the annual revenues expected. The company should not buy the equipment because the NPV is less than the initial cost of the equipment. The company should buy the equipment because the sum of the undiscounted cash flows is greater than the initial cost of the equipment. The company should buy the equipment because the NPV is positive.
The company should buy the equipment because the NPV is positive. As long as the NPV is positive, even if it is a very small positive number, it means the company will earn a return greater than its discount rate, so it is a good investment.
A company under IFRS standards decides to include interest paid in the Financing Section of their Statement of Cash Flows. How will this company's Statement of Cash Flows differ from how it would appear if the company were abiding by US GAAP standards? There will be no difference in the statements. The company under IFRS will have lower cash flow in the financing section and higher cash flow in the operating section than the company under US GAAP. The company under IFRS will have lower cash flow in the financing section and lower cash flow in the operating section than the company under US GAAP. The company under IFRS will have higher cash flow in the financing section and lower cash flow in the operating section than the company under US GAAP. The company under IFRS will have higher cash flow in the financing section and higher cash flow in the operating section than the company under US GAAP.
The company under IFRS will have lower cash flow in the financing section and higher cash flow in the operating section because interest paid is a use of cash (so the financing section's cash flow is decreased). The company under US GAAP would be required to include interest paid in the operating section, which lowers cash flows for that section.
Suppose Ven Inc's Operating Income for 2015 was $1,750,000. Their income and expenses during the year include the following: Sales, General, & Admin Expense $2,350,000 Interest Income $15,000 Income Taxes $215,000 Depreciation Expense $280,000 What was Ven's Income Before Taxes for 2015?
The correct answer is $1,765,000 Income Before Taxes is equal to Operating Income adjusted for any non-operating activity. In this example, S,G,& A and Depreciation Expenses are operating expenses that have already been deducted to arrive at Operating Income. Income Taxes will be deducted after Income Before Taxes. To get to Income Before Taxes, simply add Interest Income to Operating Income: $1,750,000 + $15,000 = $1,765,000
Clean Air Systems buys a diagnostic piece of equipment for $270,000. The machine will be depreciated on a straight-line basis for 10 years with a salvage value of $50,000.

Tom's Grocery purchased 5 new cash registers for their new store and they paid $2,400 each for a total of $12,000 on August 1, 2013, the day they were delivered. The cash registers are expected to have useful lives of 5 years and they are not expected to have any salvage value. Tom's Grocery uses straight-line depreciation. The cash registers were recorded as long-lived assets at the time of the purchase and now Tom's needs to make an entry showing the expense related to these cash registers up to December 31, 2013.
The depreciable value of the cash registers is $12,000 and they have an estimated useful life of 5 years (or 60 months), so the monthly depreciation would be $200 per month ($12,000 / 60). To recognize the 5 months' worth of depreciation ($200 per month * 5 months = $1,000) at 12/31/13, the company would record a debit to Depreciation (an expense, part of owners' equity) for $1,000 and a credit to Accumulated Depreciation (a contra-asset, part of assets) for $1,000.
Suppose a manufacturing plant purchased a new heating system in December, 2015 and, after installing and testing the equipment, it was put into service on January 1, 2016. The total cost to put the equipment into service was $55,000; it is expected to have a useful life of 5 years and a salvage value of $5,000. Using the straight-line method of depreciation, what will the entry be to record depreciation for the 6 months ending June 30, 2016?
The depreciable value of the equipment is $50,000 ($55,000 cost - $5,000 salvage value), which means that the manufacturing company will recognize $10,000 of depreciation every year over the 5 year useful life. Thus, the depreciation for the 6 months ending June 30, 2016 is $5,000. The journal entry to record this is a debit to Depreciation Expense (expense account) for $5,000 and a credit to Accumulated Depreciation (contra-asset account) for $5,000.

Which of the following describes the difference between the trial balance on December 31, 2013 and the trial balance on January 1, 2014? The trial balance on January 1, 2014 does not balance because all nominal accounts were reset in the closing process. The trial balance on January 1, 2014 does not balance because the company has not yet earned any income for the period. The trial balance on January 1, 2014 shows no balance in all nominal accounts because they were closed to retained earnings in the closing process. The trial balance on January 1, 2014 shows no balance in all accounts because the accounting books were reset in the closing process.
The trial balance on January 1, 2014 shows no balance in all nominal accounts because they were closed to retained earnings in the closing process.
On January 1, 2015 Sweetums, a candy manufacturer, sold 15 boxes of their signature chocolate bars to a local retailer for $1,500. Sweetums had paid $720 to produce the chocolate bars. Sweetum's granted credit terms and permitted the retailer to pay in 30 days.On the same day of the sale, Sweetums delivered the chocolate bars to the retail store. Consider both the revenue and cost of this transaction on the books of Sweetums. What would be the impact on January 1, 2015, the date of the sale? On January 30, 2015 Sweetums received payment in full from the local retailer. What would be the impact of this transaction on this date?
This transaction involves both the sale and the related cost of the sale. On 1/1/15, the Revenue account (part of owners' equity) should be increased (with a credit) by $1,500, the amount of the sale, and, since the retailer was given 30 days to pay, Accounts Receivable (an asset) should be increased (with a debit) by the same amount of $1,500. On the cost side, the chocolate bars came from inventory so the Inventory account (an asset) should be reduced (with a credit) by $720, the amount that it cost Sweetums to produce the chocolate bars. The expense should be increased (with a debit) to Cost of Goods Sold (part of owners' equity) for $720. On 1/30/15, receipt of the payment from the retailer means that the Cash account (an asset) should be increased (with a debit) by $1,500 and the Accounts Receivable account (also an asset) should be decreased (with a credit) by $1,500
A company has retained earnings of $94,000 as of December 31, 2014. The Pro-forma income statement projects net income of $22,000 for 2015. The company expects to declare their annual dividend on March 15, 2015 of $0.70 per share and has a total of 100,000 shares outstanding. What will the projected retained earnings account be as of December 31, 2015? $186,000 $46,000 $16,000 $2,000
To calculate the projected retained earnings, you add the projected 2015 net income of $22,000 to the beginning balance of $94,000 carried over from 2014. Then you must subtract $70,000 for the dividend of $0.70 per share times the 100,000 shares outstanding. $94,000 + $22,000 - $70,000 = $46,000

Which statement about US GAAP and IFRS accounting standards is true? US GAAP requires that assets be divided up into current and non-current assets while IFRS does not require such division. Both US GAAP and IFRS require that owners' equity be listed after liabilities. US GAAP will generally list assets and liabilities in order from most liquid to least liquid while IFRS will generally do the opposite. Both US GAAP and IFRS require that non-current liabilities be listed before current liabilities.
US GAAP will generally list assets and liabilities in order from most liquid to least liquid while IFRS will generally do the opposite. US GAAP lists assets and liabilities in order of liquidity - the most liquid being first. IFRS is generally the opposite.
The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) establish that companies should depreciate a long-lived physical asset, because: costs should be matched with the benefits that are realized over multiple periods not all assets are paid in cash at the time they are purchased it is an explicit transaction beyond the current period assets lose value in the long term
costs should be matched with the benefits that are realized over multiple periods

A higher discount rate results in a higher terminal value. The Gordon Growth Model assumes that the growth rate will remain fixed. A higher growth rate results in a higher terminal value.
A higher discount rate results in a higher terminal value. This statement is not true. A higher discount rate results in a lower terminal value.
A company purchased a building for $850,000 on January 1, 2010. As of December 31, 2014, $200,000 of accumulated depreciation had been recorded related to this building. The building was sold to another party for $1,250,000 on January 1, 2015. On the sale of this building, the company should recognize: A gain of $650,000 A loss of $650,000 A gain of $600,000 A loss of $600,000
At the sale date, the building's net book balue was $650,000 ($850,000 original cost less $200,000 accumulated depreciation). Since it was sold for $1,250,000, which is more than the net book value, the company should recognize a gain of $600,000.

For the year 2015, Dark Horse Corp.'s sales revenue was $1,600,000. Cost of goods sold (COGS) was 40% of sales revenue. Their income statement shows that operating expense was $150,000. What was Dark Horse Corp.'s gross profit for 2015?
Gross Profit is equal to Sales Revenue minus Cost of Goods Sold, in this case $1,600,000 - $640,000 = $960,000. The Cost of Goods Sold of $640,000 is found by multiplying $1,600,000 by 40%.
