Which of the following financial statement effects template entries captures this transaction? Balance Sheet Income Statement Cash Assets + Noncash Assets=Liabilities +Contributed +Earned Revenues-Expenses=Net Income Capital Capital

Balance Sheet Income Statement Cash Assets + Noncash Assets = Liabilities + Contributed + Earned Revenues - Expenses =Net Income Capital Capital +87,800 -87,800 (AR) Collecting cash from customers increases cash and decreases accounts receivable. There is no income statement effect.

How would a sale of $400 of inventory on credit affect the balance sheet if the cost of the inventory sold was $160?

Both the first and the second choices, above happen simultaneously. The sale on credit is an account receivable, a noncash asset that increases revenue and therefore increases equity (the first answer choice). The sale also involves reducing inventory by $160, a noncash asset, which is an expense and therefore a decrease to equity of $160 ( the second answer choice ). Therefore both the first and second answer choices are correct so the answer is the fourth choice.

On January 1, Fey Properties collected $7,200 for six months' rent in advance from a tenant renting an apartment. Fey Company prepares monthly financial statements. Which of the following describes the required adjusting entry on January 31?

Which one of the following statement(s) is (are) most likely to be TRUE? I. In order for an asset to be reported on the balance sheet, it must be owned or controlled by the company and be expected to provide future benefits. II. Assets are reported on the balance sheet at their current market value. III. Assets are listed on the balance sheet in order of liquidity and liabilities are listed in order of maturity. IV. Liabilities and equities are both claims against the assets of a company.

I, III, and IV only we discussed the definitions of assets and liabilities, etc. Assets reported on the balance sheet must be owned or controlled by the company and must be expected to provide future benefits. These benefits can relate to the expected receipt of cash or another asset or the expected decrease in a liability. Assets are generally reported at historical costs. An exception is marketable securities. Assets are reported in the order that they are generally expected to be converted into cash. Receivables are, thus, reported before inventories, and inventories before PPE. Liabilities are reported in order of maturity, with current liabilities expected to be paid within one year and long-term liabilities expected to be paid over a longer period of time. Both liabilities and equity are claims against the assets. In the event of default of a company, liabilities are settled first against the assets of the company. The owners, however, still have an interest in the remaining assets.

How would cash collected on accounts receivable affect the balance sheet?

Increase assets and decrease assets Cash collected on accounts receivable produces an increase in cash and a decrease in accounts receivable, both asset accounts. There is no impact on liabilities or on equity.

An accrual of wages expense would have what effect on the balance sheet?

Increase noncash assets (Accounts receivable) Revenue is not on the balance sheet, therefore the first, third and fourth answers are incorrect. Cash has not yet been received from the customer.

Which one of the following statement(s) is (are) most likely to be TRUE? I. When shareholders contribute capital to a company, earned capital increases because the company has earned the shareholders' investments. II. Revenues and expenses affect the income statement but not the balance sheet. III. Retained earnings articulate across time which means that last period's retained earnings plus current period net income (or loss) is equal to the current period's retained earnings. IV. Revenue is typically recorded as earned when cash is received because that is when the company can measure the revenue objectively

None of the above Recall we discussed the basic structures of the financial statements in M02 and M03. When shareholders contribute capital to a company, contributed, not earned, capital increases. Revenue and expense recognition increases retained earnings on the balance sheet. Revenue and expense recognition increases retained earnings on the balance sheet. Last period's retained earnings plus current period net income (or loss) less any dividends paid, is equal to the current period's retained earnings. Revenue is recorded when it is earned regardless of when cash is received
