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:

$1,120 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.

Currie Company borrowed $20,000 from the Sierra Bank by issuing a 10% three-year note. Currie agreed to repay the principal and interest by making annual payments in the amount of $8,042. Based on this information, the amount of the interest expense associated with the second payment would be: (Round your answer to the nearest dollar.)

$1,396 Interest expense in year 1: $20,000 × 10% = $2,000; Principal reduction in year 1: $8,042 − $2,000 = $6,042; Principal balance at beginning of year 2: $20,000 − $6,042 = $13,958; Interest expense in year 2: $13,958 × 10% = $1,396.

On January 6, Year 1, the Mount Jackson Corporation purchased a tract of land for a factory site for $1,500,000. An existing building on the site was demolished and the construction of the new factory building was completed on October 11, Year 1. Additional cost data are shown below: Construction cost of new building$1,760,000Realtor's and attorney's fees15,400Architect's fees relating to construction of new building138,000Cost to demolish old building133,200Salvage recovery from old building(11,000) Which of the following correctly states the capitalized cost of the land and the new factory building, respectively?

$1,637,600 and $1,898,000 $1,500,000 purchase price + $15,400 realtor's and attorney's fees + $133,200 cost to demolish old building − $11,000 salvage from old building = $1,637,600 cost of land; $1,760,000 construction cost + $138,000 architect's fees = $1,898,000 cost of new factory building

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 $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.

For Year 1, the Sacramento Corporation had beginning and ending Retained Earnings balances of $154,900 and $205,900 respectively. Also during Year 1, the corporation declared and paid cash dividends of $22,700 and issued stock dividends valued at $17,500. Total expenses were $38,916. Based on this information, what was the amount of total revenue for Year 1?

$130,116 $154,900 beginning retained earnings + X revenues − $38,916 expenses − $22,700 cash dividends − $17,500 stock dividends = $205,900 ending retained earnings; X = $130,116.

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? (Do not round your intermediate calculations.)

$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

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: (Round your intermediate percentages to 2 decimal places: ie 0.054231 = 5.42%.)

$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:

$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:

$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?

$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

The inventory records for Radford Company reflected the following Beginning inventory on May 1: 100 units @ $4.00 First purchase on May 7: 300 units @ $4.40 second purchase on May 17: 500 units @ $4.60 Third purchase on May 23: 100 units @ $4.80 Sales on May 31: 900 units @ $7.80 What is the amount of gross margin assuming the weighted average cost flow method is used?

$2,970 Under the weighted-average method, the average cost of inventory is reported on both the income statement and the balance sheet. Weighted average cost per unit = [(100 × $4.00) + (300 × $4.40) + (500 × $4.60) + (100 × $4.80)] ÷ 1,000 units = $4.50 per unit; Gross margin = Sales of (900 × $7.80) − Cost of goods sold of (900 × $4.50) = $2,970.

At the end of the accounting period, Houston Company had $8,800 of par value common stock issued, additional paid-in capital in excess of par value − common of $11,500, retained earnings of $9,000, and $7,000 of treasury stock. The total amount of stockholders' equity is:

$22,300. $8,800 common stock + $11,500 additional paid-in capital in excess of par value + $9,000 retained earnings − $7,000 treasury stock = $22,300

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 $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 1: 100 units @ $4.00 First purchase on May 7: 300 units @ $4.40 second purchase on May 17: 500 units @ $4.60Third purchase on May 23: 100 units @ $4.80 Sales on May 31: 900 units @ $7.80 What is the amount of gross margin assuming the FIFO cost flow method is used?

$3,000 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 January 1, Year 2, the Accounts Receivable balance was $37,000 and the balance in the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts was $2,800. On January 15, Year 2, an $800 uncollectible account was written-off. The net realizable value of accounts receivable immediately after the write-off is:

$34,200. $37,000 − $800 = $36,200 accounts receivable balance after the write-off; $2,800 − $800 = $2,000 allowance balance after the write-off; $36,200 − $2,000 = $34,200 net realizable value after the write-off.

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:

$34,660 Cost of machine = $34,000 − ($34,000 × 5%) + $550 transportation + $1,360 sales tax + $450 installation = $34,660.

On January 1, Year 1, Friedman Company purchased a truck that cost $48,000. The truck had an expected useful life of 8 years and an $8,000 salvage value. The company uses the double-declining balance method. The book value of the truck at the end of Year 1 is:

$36,000. $48,000 × (2 × 12.5%) = $12,000 Depreciation expense for Year 1; $48,000 Cost − $12,000 Accumulated depreciation at end of Year 1 = $36,000 book value at the end of Year 1

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 total liabilities that would appear on Riley's December 31 balance sheets for Year 1 and Year 2, respectively, would be:

$37,890 ans $0 $36,000 × 7% × 9/12 months = $1,890 interest payable on December 31, Year 1; $36,000 note payable + $1,890 interest payable = $37,890; the note is repaid before the end of Year 2, so there is no remaining liability.

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 cost of goods sold assuming the LIFO cost flow method is used?

$4,100 Under LIFO, the cost of the items purchased last is reported on the income statement, and the cost of the items purchased first is reported on the balance sheet. Cost of goods sold = (100 × $4.80) + (500 × $4.60) + (300 × $4.40) = $4,100

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 net realizable value of Miller's receivables at the end of Year 2 was:

$48,300. $0 beginning balance + $190,000 revenue on account − $136,000 collections = $54,000 ending accounts receivable balance; $0 beginning balance + $5,700 uncollectible accounts expense − $0 write-offs = $5,700 ending allowance for doubtful accounts balance; $54,000 − $5,700 = $48,300 net realizable value

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: What will Domino record as Uncollectible Accounts Expense for Year 2?

$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

ing 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:

$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:

$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

On January 1, Year 2, Kincaid Company's Accounts Receivable and the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts carried balances of $31,000 and $500, respectively. During the year Kincaid reported $72,500 of credit sales. Kincaid wrote off $550 of receivables as uncollectible in Year 2. Cash collections of receivables amounted to $74,550. Kincaid estimates that it will be unable to collect one percent (1%) of credit sales. The amount of uncollectible accounts expense recognized in the Year 2 income statement will be:

$725 $72,500 credit sales × 1% = $725 uncollectible accounts expense

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 $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:

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

On January 1, Year 1, Missouri Company purchased a truck that cost $57,000. The truck had an expected useful life of 10 years and a $6,000 salvage value. The amount of depreciation expense recognized in Year 2 assuming that Missouri uses the double declining-balance method is:

$9,120. $57,000 × (2 × 10%) = $11,400 depreciation expense in Year 1. ($57,000 − $11,400) × (2 × 10%) = $9,120 depreciation expense in Year 2.

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:

$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?

$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

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. Using double-declining-balance depreciation, what the amount of depreciation expense and the amount of accumulated depreciation, respectively, that would appear on the December 31, Year 3 financial statements?

$960 and $24,000 ($34,000 + $2,000) × (2 × 20%) = $14,400 depreciation in Year 1; Ending book value in Year 1 = $36,000 − $14,400 = $21,600; $21,600 × (2 × 20%) = $8,640 depreciation in Year 2; Ending book value in Year 2 = $21,600 − $8,640 = $12,960; $12,960 − $12,000 salvage value = $960 depreciation expense in Year 3 ($12,960 × 40% would depreciate the office equipment below its $12,000 salvage value); $14,400 + $8,640 + $960 = $24,000 accumulated depreciation at the end of Year 3.

For Year 1, the Sacramento Corporation had beginning and ending Retained Earnings balances of $161,967 and $193,900 respectively.

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 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.
