During January 2014, its first month of operation, Osborn Enterprises earned net income of $1,700 and paid dividends to the owners of $500. At January 31, the balance in Retained Earnings will be A. $1,200 credit B. $500 debit C. $1,700 debit D. $0

A. $1,200 credit Solution: Retained Earnings=Equity Equity=Assets-Liabilities. Net income is an asset and dividends is a liability. So, $1,700-$500=$1,200. Retained Earnings increases with a credit and decreases with a debit. Since this particular situation caused an increase to Retained Earnings, it has a credit balance.

Equipment was purchased for $68,000 on January 1, 2013. Freight charges amounted to $2,800 and there was a cost of $8,000 for building a foundation and installing the equipment. It is estimated that the equipment will have a $12,000 salvage value at the end of its 5-year useful life. What is the amount of accumulated depreciation at December 31, 2014, if the straight-line method of depreciation is used? A. $26,720 B. $13,360 C. $11,440 D. $22,880

A. $26,720 Solution: Subtract the salvage value from the cost of the equipment and then divide it by its useful life, and multiplied by the number of years since date of purchase, which is 2 in this case. First, cost of equipment is $68,000+$2,800+$8,000=$78,800 Then, $78,000-$12,000=$66,800 Finally, $66,800/5=$13,360. $13,360x2=$26,720, which is the amount of accumulated depreciation as of December 31, 2014.

On October 1, 2014, Mann Company places a new asset into service. The cost of the asset is $80,000 with an estimated 5-year life and $20,000 salvage value at the end of its useful life.

A. $3,000 Solution: Subtract the salvage value from the cost of the asset, then divide that by its useful life. After that, multiply it by the # of months left in the year purchased over 12 (in this case, 3/12). So, $80,000-$20,000=$60,000 $60,000/5=$12,000 $12,000(3/12)=$3,000

Quark Inc. just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 150 units $825 June 10 200 units $1,120 June 15 200 units $1,140 June 28 150 units $885 $3,970 A physical count of merchandise on June 30 reveals that there are 200 units on hand. Using the FIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to ending inventory for June is A. $1,180 B. $1,170 C. $1,100 D. $1,105

B. $1,170 Solution: The total units purchased in June was 700. 700-200=500, meaning that 500 units were sold. FIFO (first in, first out) requires that the first 500 units that were purchased are the first 500 to go. Therefore, all 150 units from June 1st are gone, totaling $825 and 150 units gone. Next, all 200 units from June 15th are gone. Totaling $1,945 ($825+$1,120) and 350 units gone (150+200) 150 more units must be sold. So, we divide June 15th's purchase totaling $1,140 and divide it by the 200 units. This gives us a price of $5.70 per unit. Multiply $5.70 by 150, because we only need 150 more units. This equals $855. This totals $2,800 ($1,945+$855) and 500 units. Lastly, subtract the $2,800 from the $3,970 (given in the question) to get your answer of $1,170.

Morgan Company does not ring up sales taxes separately on the cash register. Total receipts for February amounted to $25,440. If the sales tax rate is 6%, what amount must be remitted to the state for February's sales taxes? A. $1,527 B. $1,440 C. $1,435 D. It cannot be determined.

B. $1,440 Solution: Add 100% to the sales tax rate. Then divide the total receipts by this percentage. Subtract this number from the total receipts. 100%+6%=106% (1.06 as a decimal) $25,440/1.06=$24,000 $25,440-$24,000=$1,440

Hogan Industries had the following inventory transactions occur during 2014: units cost/unit Feb 1 2014 Purchase 36 $45 Mar 14 2014 Purchase 62 $47 May 1 2014 Purchase 44 $49 The company sold 102 units at $63 each and has a tax rate of 30%. Assuming that a periodic inventory system is used, what is the company's gross profit using LIFO? (rounded to whole dollars) A. $4,730 B. $1,544 C. $4,882 D. $1,696

B. $1,544 Solution: LIFO requires that the last units that came in are the first ones to go. Therefore, all 44 units purchased on May 1st are gone, totaling $2,156 (44x$49) and 44 units. Next, 58 out of the 62 units purchased on March 14th will be gone to total the 102 units. 58x$47=$2,726. Add this number to the previous total to get $4,882 and 102 units. The company sold 102 units for $63 each. So, 102x$63=$6,426. $6,426-$4,882=$1,544, which is the gross profit. The tax rate is not calculated in gross profit.

B. $1,745,000 Solution: Add common stock to retained earnings. Then, subtract this sum from assets. $475,000+$780,000=$1,255,000 $3,000,000-$1,255,000=$1,745,000

B. $115,000 Solution: Subtract expenses and paid cash dividends from revenues. Add this number to retained earnings. $80,000-$45,000-$20,000=$15,000 $100,000+$15,000=$115,000

B. $120,000 Solution: Depreciable cost is simply Purchase Price-Salvage Value. In this case, $144,000-$24,000=$120,000 The useful life is irrelevant to this question, don't let it confuse you.

What is the total stockholders' equity based on the following account balances? Common Stock $1,800,000 Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par $ 120,000 Retained Earnings $ 570,000 Treasury Stock $ 60,000 A. $2,190,000 B. $2,430,000 C. $2,550,000 D. $1,680,000

B. $2,430,000 Solution: Stockholders' equity=assets-liabilities Common stock, Paid-In Capital in Excess of Par, and Retained Earnings all increase stockholders' equity, while Treasury Stock decreases it. So, ($1,800,000+$120,000+$570,000)-$60,000=$2,430,000

B. $23,100 Solution: Divide the total receipts by the sales tax rate plus 100%. In this question, 5%+100%=105% (1.05 as a decimal) $24,255/1.05=$23,100

At September 1, 2014, Baxter Inc. reported Retained Earnings of $282,000.

What is the balance in Retained Earnings at September 30, 2014? A. $16,000 credit B. $294,000 credit C. $282,000 debit D. $284,000 credit

B. $294,000 credit Solution: Retained earnings=Beginning retained earnings+Net income-Cash Dividends. Net income=Revenue-Expenses. In this case, net income is $16,000 ($40,000-$24,000). Therefore, retained earnings is ($282,000+$16,000)-$4,000, totaling to $294,000. The $10,000 was for purchased equipment in irrelevant to this question and is only there to try and throw you off.

Using the percentage-of-receivables method for recording bad debt expense, estimated uncollectible accounts are $45,000. If the balance of the Allowance for Doubtful Accounts is $11,000 debit before adjustment, what is the balance after adjustment? A. $56,000 B. $45,000 C. $34,000 D. $11,000

B. $600 debit balance Solution: Debits increase the cash account, while credits lower it. Therefore, if it had a $1,400 debit balance, an $800 credit to the account would decrease it by $800. So, $1,400 debit-$800 credit=$600 debit

Charlene Cosmetics Company just began business and made the following four inventory purchases in June: June 1 150 units $ 780 June 10 200 units $1,170 June 15 200 units $1,260 June 28 150 units $ 990 Total: $4,200 A physical count of merchandise inventory on June 30 reveals that there are 210 units on hand. Using the average cost method, the amount allocated to the ending inventory on June 30 is A. $1,323 B. $1,229 C. $1,260 D. $1,368

C. $1,260 Solution: The average cost method has you take the total money spent on inventory purchases ($4,200) and divide it by the total number of units bought (700). So, $4,200/700= $6. This means that, on average, each unit costs $6. You take the quotient ($6) and multiply it by the units in hand (210) to get your answer. So, $6(210)= $1,260

Apple-A-Day Company has the following inventory data: July 1 Beginning inventory 20 units at $20 $ 400 July 7 Purchases 70 units at $21 $1,470 July 22 Purchases 10 units at $22 $ 220 $2,090 A physical count of merchandise inventory on July 30 reveals that there are 25 units on hand. Using the LIFO inventory method, the amount allocated to cost of goods sold for July is A. $1,590 B. $1,540 C. $1,585 D. $1,555

C. $1,585 Solution: The total units in July was 100. If only 25 were left on hand, then 75 units were sold (100-25). The LIFO (last in, first out) method requires that the last 75 units that were purchased are the first 75 to go. Therefore, all 10 units purchased on July 22nd are gone, totaling $220 and 10 units. There are still 65 units that must be accounted for. Therefore, we take 65 out of the 70 units that were purchased and multiply that by $21 (because that is the price per unit of that purchase). 65($21)= $1,365. Adding this to the previos $220 and 10 units, we get $1,585 and all 75 units sold.
