The owner's equity of Rosewood Company was $287,000 on January 1 and $363,000 on December 31. The accounts receivable balance on January 1 was $24,000 and $28,000 on December 31. The net income for the year was $125,000, and the net credit sales were $190,000. What was Rosewood's return on owner's equity for the period? a.38.5% b.58.5% c.34.4% d.48.0%
A Return on Owner's Equity = Net Income/Average Owner's Equity {$125,000/[($287,000 + $363,000)/2]}.
The employees of Luke Company are paid every Friday for a five-day work week, ending on that day. December 31, the end of the company's fiscal year, ended on a Wednesday. The employees earn in total $500 per day. On January 2, the employees are paid. Assuming that Luke Company does reversing entries, which of the following journal entries would be made on January 2 to record the payment of the employees' wages? a.Debit Wages Expense for $2,500 and credit Cash for $2,500 b.Debit Wages Expense for $2,500, credit Wages Payable for $1,500, and credit Cash for $1,000 c.Debit Wages Expense for $1,000, debit Wages Payable for $1,500, and credit Cash for $2,500 d.Debit Wages Payable for $2,500 and credit Cash for $2,500
A Reversing entries are done to simplify the recording of transactions in the new accounting period. As its name implies, a reversing entry is the reverse or opposite of the adjusting entry. At the end of December, the adjusting entry to record the accrued wages would have been a debit to Wages Expense and a credit to Wages Payable for $1,500. The reversing entry on January 1 would have been the exact opposite: debit Wages Payable and credit Wages Expense for $1,500. Therefore, on January 2 when the employees are paid, the bookkeeper simply debits Wages Expense and credits Cash for the full amount earned that week of $2,500.

B Accounts Receivable Turnover = Net Credit Sales for the Period/Average Accounts Receivable {$820,000/[($418,000 + $482,000)/2] = 1.8}.
At the start of this fiscal year, Aimee purchased a building where she can run and operate her business for $850,000. When she purchased the building, she paid $125,000 in cash and signed a mortgage note payable for the remainder. The note was for 20 years, and she must pay $3,021 per month on the note.

At the end of the fiscal year, Ski Company had a $31,000 debit in the income summary account, $1,000 in the drawing account, and a beginning capital balance of $243,000. What is the balance in the capital account after all temporary accounts have been closed? a.$211,000 b.$212,000 c.$273,000 d.$274,000
A A debit in the income summary account indicates a net loss for the year since the revenues and expenses are closed to Income Summary. Income Summary is closed to the capital account, and a net loss would decrease the value of the owner's capital. The drawing account is also closed to the capital account, and withdrawals made by the owner decrease the value of the owner's capital. Therefore, the ending capital balance of the owner would be $211,000 ($243,000 - $31,000 - $1,000 = $211,000).
