Straight-Line Depreciation

(cost - salvage value) / useful life How much depreciation should be recorded in the first year for a delivery truck purchased on April 1 with a cost of $30,000, an expected life of five years, and an estimated residual value of $5,000? Assume the straight-line method is used.b. $ 3,750Annual depreciation would be: $5,000 = ($30,000 − $5,000) ÷ 5 years

Inventory Cost Methods

-Specific Identification-Matches each unit of inventory with its actual cost -First In, First Out (FIFO)-Assumes first units purchased are first ones sold -Last In, First Out (LIFO)-Assumes last units purchased are first ones sold -Weighted Average Cost-Assumes each unit of inventory has a cost equal to the weighted-average unit cost of all inventory items.

Steps in Preparing the Statement of Cash Flows

1) Determine the change in each balance sheet account. 2) Identify the cash flow category to which each account relates. 3) Create schedules that summarize the operating, investing, and financing cash flows.

Business Structures

1. Corporation is a company that is legally separate from its owners. The advantage of being legally separate is that the stockholders have limited liability (DisA-double taxation) 2. Sole proprietorship is a business owned by one person. 3. Partnership is a business owned by two or more persons

Lower of cost and net realizable value (LCNRV)

1. if cost< LCNRV, lower of cost/ NRV cost vs NRV 2. if cost < LRV, greater of NRV or LCNRV At the end of the year, a company reports the following inventory amounts ($ per unit): Item # of Units Cost Net Realizable Value A 100 $4 $8 B 150 $8 $6 The amount to report for ending inventory using the lower of cost and net realizable value is: The lower of cost and net realizable value is: Item A = $4 per unit (cost) Item B = $6 per unit (net realizable value) Ending inventory = $1,300 $1,300 = (100 units × $4) + (150 units × $6) At the end of the year, a company reports the following inventory amounts ($ per unit): Item # of Units Cost Net Realizable Value A 100 $4 $8 B 150 $8 $6 The year-end adjustment using the lower of cost and net realizable value would include: a. A credit to Inventory for $300 b. A debit to Cost of Goods Sold for $400 c. A debit to Inventory for $500 d. A credit to Cost of Goods Sold for $700 Concept Check 6-10 Recorded cost of inventory = (100 units × $4) + (150 units × $8) = $1,600. Lower of cost and NRV = (100 units × $4) + (150 units × $6) = $1,300. The year-end adjustment to reduce inventory from its cost of $1,600 to NRV of $1,300 is: Cost of Goods Sold 300 Inventory 300

Note Receivable

A promissory note that a business accepts from a person or business. Similar to accounts receivable but include a written debt agreement, or note Normal debit balance ------------------- Interest Calculation and Collection of Notes Receivable Interest =Face value x Annual interest rate x Fraction of the year (6/12) ------------------ A company accepts a note receivable of $5,000 on September 1, 2021, that matures in 10 months and has stated interest of 6%. What amount of interest revenue will the company record in 2021 and 2022?a. 2021 = $100; 2022 = $150 2021: Interest Revenue = $5,000 × 6% × 4/12 = $100 2022: Interest Revenue = $5,000 × 6% × 6/12 = $150

Accrued Expenses

Accrued expenses occur when a company has used costs in the current period, but the company hasn't yet paid cash for those costs. • The company has used these costs to operate the company in the current period and is obligated to pay them. • An adjusting entry is needed to (1) record the liability to be paid and (2) recognize the cost as an expense If a company pays an employee $100 per day for a five-day work week that runs from Monday to Friday, and December 31 is a Tuesday, what is the amount of the salaries adjustment, assuming that Friday is payday? $200 $200 (= $100 per day × 2 days) If a company borrowed $20,000 on November 1 at the rate of 6% annually, how much interest expense should be accrued at the year-end date of December 31, assuming no accrual has yet been made this year? 200 Note Payable × Annual Interest Rate × Fraction of the Year $200 = $20,000 × 6% × 2/12 An adjusting entry would be needed for which of the following transactions?

Revenues increase retained earnings 2. Expenses decrease retained earnings 3. Dividends decrease retained earnings, Retained earnings is a component of stockholders' equity.

Debit and Credit Effects on Accounts in the Basic Accounting Equation

Assets- Debit (increase) Credit (Decrease Liabilities- Debit (Decrease) Credit (Increase) Equity (Decrease) Credit (Increase) 1. Left side—Assets increase with debits. 2. Right side—Liabilities and stockholders' equity increase with credits. • The opposite is true to decrease the balance of any of these accounts.

It is subtracted from the balance of Accounts Receivable in the balance sheet. When writing off an uncollectible account:c. Total assets are unchanged. When an entry is made to write off an uncollectible account, c. Net accounts receivable is unchanged. On December 31 before adjusting entries, a company's balance of Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts is a credit of $2,000. What does a "credit" balance prior to adjusting entries indicate?d.

Cost of goods sold equals: 100 × $4 = $400 (Beginning inventory) 20 × $5 = $100 (Purchase on Jan. 15) A company has the following inventory transactions: Jan. 1 Beginning inventory 100 units @ $4 each Jan. 15 Purchase 100 units @ $5 each Jan. 31 Purchase 100 units @ $6 each What would be the cost of goods sold under the LIFO method if 120 units were sold in January Using LIFO, the last 120 units purchased are assumed to be sold.
