The balance sheet reported the following: Accounts Receivable—beginning balance, $50,000 and ending balance, $60,000; Accounts Payable—beginning balance, $22,000 and ending balance, $28,000. Therefore, based only on this information, the net cash flows from operating activities were: A. $126,000 B. $166,000 C. $174,000 D. $186,000
B. $166,000 $130,000 (net income) + $40,000 (depreciation expense) − $10,000 (increase in accounts receivable) + $6,000 (increase in accounts payable) = $166,000

Lorette sells $10,000 of product to KiethCo, and also purchases $2,000 of cleaning services from KiethCo. The cleaning services have a fair value of $1,500. Lorette should record revenue on its sale of product to KiethCo of: A. $10,000 B. $9,500 C. $8,500 D. $8,000
B. $9,500 Lorette is paying more for cleaning services than the fair value of those services, so the excess of $500 (computed as $2,000 price paid − $1,500 fair value of the services) is viewed as a refund of part of the $10,000 sale. Therefore, Lorette records revenue of $9,500 (computed as $10,000 − $500).

Many of the company's valuable resources (such as trained employees, experienced management team, loyal customer relationships, and product knowledge) are not directly reported as an asset in the balance sheet. Despite these limitations, the balance sheet provides useful information to investors on the company's liquidity and long-term solvency.

The assets of the component were sold on October 13, 20X1, for $1,200,000. The book value of those assets equaled $1,000,000 at the time of the sale.

For what amount would the company report income from discontinued operations? A. Loss of $100,000. B. Loss of $75,000. C. Loss of $225,000. D. Loss of $25,000.
B. Loss of $75,000. The gain on the sale of assets of $200,000 ($1,200,000 - $1,000,000) minus the operating loss of $300,000 equals pretax loss on discontinued operations of $100,000. Net of a 25% tax benefit ($25,000 = $100,000 × 25%), the loss reduces to $75,000.
The application of intraperiod income taxes requires that income taxes be apportioned to each of the following items except: A. Income from continuing operations. B. Operating income. C. Discontinued operations. D. All of the other answer choices are incorrect.

CrayFry offers a discount on an extended warranty on its CrayFrier when the warranty is purchased at the time the fryer is purchased. The warranty normally has a price of $25, but CrayFry offers it for $20 when purchased along with a fryer. CrayFry anticipates a 60% chance that a customer will purchase the extended warranty along with the fryer. Assume CrayFry sells to 1,000 fryers with the extended warranty discount offer.

TVLand sells home entertainment systems and also offers a complementary installation service. TVLand estimates that it incurs $40 in labor and materials to complete one installation, with an average of 25% profit based on cost. Using the expected cost plus margin approach, the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is: A. $10. D. $40. C. $50. D. $70.
C. $50. Under the expected cost plus margin approach, TVLand would base its estimate of the stand-alone selling price of the installation service on the $40 cost it incurs, plus its normal margin of 25% × $40 = $10. Therefore, TVLand would estimate the stand-alone selling price of the installation service to be $40 + $10 = $50.

C. $70,000. $85,000 = 75% × $100,000 + 25% × $40,000. The most likely amount is $100,000. $70,000, is not an acceptable estimate.
TVLand sells home entertainment systems and also offers a complementary installation service. The same service is offered by other vendors for $50 on average, and TVLand typically charges approximately 40% more than other vendors for similar services on a stand-alone basis. Using the adjusted market assessment approach, the stand-alone selling price of the installation service is: A. $20. B. $50. C. $70. D. $90.
C. $70. Under the adjusted market assessment approach, TVLand would base its estimate of the stand-alone selling price of the installation service on the prices charged by other vendors for the same service, adjusted as necessary. Because TVLand typically charges 40% more than competitors, it would estimate the stand-alone price of the assembly service to be $50 × 140% = $70.

In the current year, a company has a gain of $50,000. The company's accountant is deciding whether to report this gain as part of nonoperating income in the income statement or as part of other comprehensive income. Which of the following is true? A. Total shareholders' equity will be greater if the gain is reported as part of other comprehensive income. B. Net income will be same under either choice. C. Retained earnings will be greater if the gain is reported as part of net income. D. Total assets will be greater if the gain is reported as part of other comprehensive income.
C. Retained earnings will be greater if the gain is reported as part of net income. All amounts reported in the income statement to calculate net income for the year accumulate in the retained earnings account. All amounts reported as part of other comprehensive income accumulate in the accumulated other comprehensive income account. Both retained earnings and accumulated other comprehensive income are equity accounts. This means that reporting the gain under either choice has no effect on total equity (or total assets), but the choice affects the amount of net income. Net income is increased only if the gain is reported as nonoperating income in the income statement.

For a firm with a current ratio of 2.0, which of the following transactions would most likely cause the ratio to decrease? A. The collection of cash from customers on account. B. The sale of a building for cash. C. The purchase of inventory on account. D. The issuance of capital stock for cash.
C. The purchase of inventory on account. The current ratio equals current assets divided by current liabilities. The purchase of inventory on account has the effect of increasing both current assets and current liabilities. Because the current ratio equals 2.0, the purchase of inventory on account has the effect of proportionately increasing current assets less than it increases current liabilities, so the current ratio declines. For example, if current assets are currently $80 and current liabilities are $40, the current ratio is 2.0 (= $80 / $40). If the company purchases inventory on account for $10, then current assets increase to $90 and current liabilities increase to $50, and the current ratio falls to 1.8 (= $90 / $50).
The basis used to classify assets as current or long-term is: A. Whether an asset is monetary or nonmonetary. B. The operating cycle or one year, whichever is shorter. C. Usually one year, because the operating cycle typically is less than one year. D. Whether the asset is currently used in the company's operations.
C. Usually one year, because the operating cycle typically is less than one year. The determination of current versus long-term assets is based on whether the asset is expected to be converted to cash or consumed within the coming year, or within the normal operating cycle of the business if that's longer than one year.
