Q

Balm Co. had 100,000 shares of common stock outstanding as of January 1. The following events occurred during the year:

4/1 Issued 30,000 shares of common stock
6/1 Issued 36,000 shares of common stock
7/1 Declared a 5% stock dividend
9/1 Purchased as treasury stock 35,000 shares of its common stock.
Balm used the cost method to account for the treasury stock.
What is Balm’s weighted average of common stock outstanding at December 31?

A

In computing earnings per share, the weighted average of common stock outstanding is number of shares outstanding at the beginning of the year weighted by time for any change in shares outstanding. In this problem, the weighted average is:

Original shares outstanding    100,000
4/1 issue - 30,000 x 9/12       22,500
6/1 issue - 36,000 x 7/12       21,000
                               --------
                               143,500
Effect of stock dividend        x 1.05
                               --------
                               150,675
Treasury stock acquired:
  35,000 x 4/12                (11,667)
                               --------
Weighted average outstanding   139,008

Transactions with commercial substance?
Gains and losses recognized immediately.
26
Neron Co. has two derivatives related to two different financial instruments, Instrument A and Instrument B, both of which are debt instruments. The derivative related to Instrument A is a fair value hedge, and the derivative related to Instrument B is a cash flow hedge. Neron experienced gains in the value of Instruments A and B due to a change in interest rates. Which of the gains should be reported by Neron in its income statement?
B. Gain in value of debt Instrument A only FASB ASC 815-25-35-1 requires that gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument be recognized in net income in the period in which the change in fair value takes place. The gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of a cash flow hedge is included in other comprehensive income. Consequently, only the gain in the value of Instrument A would be included in net income.
27
On January 2, Year 1, Ross Co. purchased a machine for $70,000. This machine has a 5-year useful life, a residual value of $10,000, and is depreciated using the straight-line method for financial statement pur­poses. For tax purposes, depreciation expense was $25,000 for Year 1 and $20,000 for Year 2. Ross’s Year 2 income, before income taxes and depreciation expense, was $100,000 and its tax rate was 30%. If Ross had made no estimated tax payments during Year 2, what amount of current income tax liability would Ross report in its December 31, Year 2, balance sheet?
The income tax due and yet to be paid for the year (payable) is $24,000. The income before income taxes and depreciation is $100,000 and the tax depreciation is taken from that to compute taxable income. Taxable income is $80,000 ($100,000 – $20,000) and the tax rate is 30%, so the current income tax due is $24,000 ($80,000 × 0.30). No part of the tax has been paid (no estimates for the year, yet), so it is all still payable.
28
What is true about total interest revenue earned over life of the note?
The total amount of interest revenue one earns on a note is related to the total payments but also to the present value of the note, with the discount recognized here initially. The total amount to be received on this note is 5 years multiplied by $5,009, as specified, for a total of $25,045. Interest is generally the amount returned over and above the amount originally recognized, which was $19,485 originally. Thus, the total interest revenue is $25,045 − $19,485 (Current Present Val., given), or $5,560.
29
On January 2, 20X1, East Corp. adopted a defined benefit pension plan. The plan's service cost of $150,000 was fully funded at the end of 20X1. Prior service cost was funded by a contribution of $60,000 in 20X1. Amortization of prior service cost was $24,000 for 20X1. Assuming that no amortization of unrecognized gain or loss is required in 20X1, what amount should East recognize as pension expense in 20X1?
East Corp.'s pension expense for 20X1 is $174,000, as shown below: Service cost $150,000 Interest cost 0 Amortization of past service cost 24,000 Expected return on plan assets 0 Amortization of unrecognized gain/loss 0 -------- $174,000 ======== The interest cost is computed by applying the appropriate rate times the projected benefit obligation (PBO) at January 1, 20X1. Since this is the first year of the plan, the PBO at January 1, 20X1, is $0, which means that the interest cost for 20X1 is $0. The expected return on the plan assets is computed by applying the appropriate rate times the fair value of the plan assets (PA) at January 1, 20X1. Since this is the first year of the plan, the PA at January 1, 20X1, is $0, which means that the expected return on plan assets for 20X1 is $0. Since no amortization of unrecognized gain/loss is necessary (which is stated in the facts), the pension expense consists of the service cost and the amortization of past service costs.

Gain on troubled debt restructuring for May Corp. in 20X6 is computed as follows:
Gain = Total due on debt - Required restructured payment = Principal + Accrued interest - (Restructured principal + Required interest) = ($1,000,000 + $40,000) - ($950,000 + $30,000) = $1,040,000 - $980,000 = $60,000

32
Income is constructively received and included in gross income if:
it is readily available to the taxpayer and actual receipt is not subject to substantial limitations or restrictions. -- Income that is constructively received is included in gross income. An example is interest income credited to an account by a financial institution. Income is constructively received if: it is readily available to the taxpayer and actual receipt is not subject to substantial limitations or restrictions.
33
How do you account for cash flows from operating activities?
You must map the fluctuations of A/P and A/R. ----- Baker should report $20,000 as net cash provided by operating activities: Net income $78,000 Adjustments Increase in accounts receivable ($82,000) Increase in accounts payable 24,000 (58,000) -------- Net cash provided by operating activities $20,000
34
When purchasing a bond, the present value of the bond's expected net future cash inflows discounted at the market rate of interest provides what information about the bond?
A: Price. A bond has a face amount of principal, which is the amount repaid to the owner of the bond at the end of its term. A bond has a coupon rate, which, when multiplied by the face (principal) amount, states the amount of (actual cash) interest paid to the bond owner annually. The value of owning the bond is the (present) value of these two rights, to be repaid the principal at the end of the bond's term, and to be paid the coupon rate of interest every year until then. The present value of these rights is the value of the bonds, hence the rational price. The present value is based on the market rate of interest, since this is the (rational) rate to charge, and discount based on what the market would require of the debtor. “Yield” is a synonym for market rate, and “par” is another term for face amount.
35
On September 30, World Co. borrowed $1,000,000 on a 9% note payable. World paid the first of four quarterly payments of $264,200 when due on December 30. In its December 31 balance sheet, what amount should World report as note payable?
The balance on December 31 should be $1,000,000 less the payment of principal made on December 30. 9/30 Balance $1,000,000 Payment 264,200 Interest* (22,500) 241,700 12/31 Balance 758,300 * $1,000,000 × 9% × 1/4
36
In computing gain or loss, assets conveyed in a troubled debt restructuring should be valued at their fair value. Therefore:
Carrying amount of note $150,000 Less fair value of land 100,000 ------- Gain $ 50,000 =======
37
Finch Co. reported a total asset retirement obligation of $257,000 in last year's financial statements. This year, Finch acquired assets subject to unconditional retirement obligations measured at undiscounted cash flow estimates of $110,000 and discounted cash flow estimates of $68,000. Finch paid $87,000 toward the settlement of previously recorded asset retirement obligations and recorded an accretion expense of $26,000. What amount should Finch report for the asset retirement obligation in this year's balance sheet?
The amount is $264,000, computed as follows: ``` Total obligation $257,000 Add: undiscounted cash flow 68,000* Accretion expense 26,000 Deduct: payment (87,000) --------- $264,000 ``` * The original undiscounted cash flow of $110,000 should be adjusted to the discounted estimate.
38
On December 30, 20X1, Rafferty Corp. leased equipment under a capital lease. Annual lease payments of $20,000 are due December 31 for 10 years. The equipment's useful life is 10 years, and the interest rate implicit in the lease is 10%. The capital lease obligation was recorded on December 30, 20X1, at $135,000, and the first lease payment was made on that date. What amount should Rafferty include in current liabilities for this capital lease in its December 31, 20X1, balance sheet?
A: $8,500 Initial lease obligation on December 31, 20X1 $135,000 Less payment made on December 31, 20X1 - 20,000 -------- Lease obligation during 20X2 $115,000 ======== Portion of December 31, 20X2, payment that is interest = rate x obligation x time = 10% x $115,000 x 1 = $11,500 Portion of December 31, 20X2, payment that is related to lease obligation = payment - interest portion = $20,000 - $11,500 = $8,500 This amount is a current liability since it is payable within the current period. The remaining lease obligation is noncurrent.
39
On October 1, Year 1, Gold Co. borrowed $900,000 to be repaid in three equal, annual installments. The note payable bears interest at 5% annually. Gold paid the first installment of $300,000 plus interest on September 30, Year 2. What amount should Gold report as a current liability on December 31, Year 2?
A: $307,500 Current liabilities will include any installments of principal due within the next 12 months, plus the interest expense accrued (but not paid) until the end of the year. The second installment of $300,000 is due on September 30, Year 3, so it is a current liability as of December 31, Year 2. The first installment was paid on September 30, Year 2, so only 2/3rds of the $900,000 is still outstanding as principal on December 31, Year 2; only $600,000 is left. The last payment on September 30, Year 2, included all interest to date; thus, we only need to accrue interest from September 30, Year 2, until December 31, Year 2, which is a total of $7,500 based on principal of $600,000 × 0.05 × 3/12 (last 3 months of the year). So, the total current liability as of December 31, Year 2, is $300,000 + $7,500, for a total of $307,500.
40
Which of the following statements regarding foreign exchange gains and losses is correct? Why?
An exchange gain occurs when the exchange rate increases between the date a receivable is recorded and the date of cash receipt. Receivables denominated in a foreign currency entitle a company to a fixed number of units of the foreign currency. The U.S. dollar balance of the receivable is measured initially using the exchange rate in effect when the receivable is established. If the exchange rate is higher when the fixed number of units of the foreign currency is received (i.e., cash is received), the dollars received will exceed the balance of the receivable in dollars, and a gain will have occurred.
41
On January 1, 20X1, Bay Co. acquired a land lease for a 21-year period with no option to renew. The lease required Bay to construct a building in lieu of rent. The building, completed on January 1, 20X2, at a cost of $840,000, will be depreciated using the straight-line method. At the end of the lease, the building's estimated market value will be $420,000. What is the building's carrying amount in Bay's December 31, 20X2, balance sheet?
This building is treated as a leasehold improvement. Although the land lease is for 21 years, the building will be in use for 20 years; thus, the depreciation period for the building is 20 years: Cost / Life = $840,000 / 20 years = $42,000/year Building cost - Depreciation = Carrying Value of Building $840,000 - $42,000 = $798,000
42
The following information was obtained from Smith Co.: Sales $275,000 Beginning inventory 30,000 Ending inventory 18,000 Smith's gross margin is 20%. What amount represents Smith purchases?
A: $208,000 Cost of goods sold = Sales × (1 - Gross margin ratio) $220,000 = $275,000 × 0.80 Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory ``` $220,000 = $30,000 + Purchases - $18,000 Purchases = $208,000 ```
43
On December 12, 20X1, Imp Co. entered into three forward exchange contracts, each to purchase 100,000 francs in 90 days. The relevant exchange rates are as follows: Forward Rate Spot Rate (for March 12, 20X2) --------- -------------------- December 12, 20X1 $.88 $.90 December 31, 20X1 .98 .93 Imp entered into the second forward contract to hedge a commitment to purchase equipment being manufactured to Imp's specifications. At December 31, 20X1, what amount of net foreign currency transaction gain should Imp include in income from this forward contract?
A: $0 The “second” forward contract was entered into to hedge a purchase commitment, therefore (assuming that all other conditions are met) it qualifies as a hedge of a purchase commitment. In that case, the forward contract qualifies as a fair value hedge (rather than a cash flow hedge). Therefore, the change in fair value of the derivative (the forward contract) should be included in net income, as should the change in fair value of the hedged commitment. Accordingly, the $3,000 gain (100,000 francs × ($.90-$.93)) would be included in income from continuing operations. If the hedge associated with the derivative qualified as a cash flow hedge, the unrealized gain would be included in other comprehensive income rather than in net income. However, the increase in the fair value of the hedged item, the purchase commitment, should be a $3,000 loss. The unrealized gain of $3,000 associated with the derivative (the hedging instrument) and the $3,000 unrealized loss associated with the hedged instrument (the purchase commitment) should result in a net unrealized gain/loss of $0. Thus, the net unrealized gain/loss included in income from continuing operations is $0. FASB ASC 815-25-35-1–35-8
44
Which of the following statements is correct concerning the appearance of non-controlling interest on the income statement?

45
What is the guidance for disclosing poss. $ value of legal liabilities on the financial statements?

46
In 20X1, Chain, Inc., purchased a $1,000,000 life insurance policy on its president, of which Chain is the beneficiary. Information regarding the policy for the year ending December 31, 20X6, follows: Cash surrender value (01/01/X6) $ 87,000 Cash surrender value (12/31/X6) 108,000 Annual advance premium paid (01/01/X6) 40,000 During 20X6, dividends of $6,000 were applied to increase the cash surrender value of the policy. What amount should Chain report as life insurance expense for 20X6?
Since the cash surrender value of a life insurance policy is an asset, then the insurance expense is only the premium less the increase in the asset (surrender value). Annual advance premium payment $40,000 Less increase in cash surrender value ($108,000 - $87,000) 21,000 ------- Life insurance expense for 20X6 $19,000
47
Since there is no reasonable basis for estimating the degree of collectibility, Astor Co. uses the installment method of revenue recognition for the following sales: 20X2 20X1 -------- -------- Sales $900,000 $600,000 Collections from: 20X1 sales 100,000 200,000 20X2 sales 300,000 --- Accounts written off: 20X1 sales 150,000 50,000 20X2 sales 50,000 --- Gross profit percentage 40% 30% What amount should Astor report as deferred gross profit in its December 31, 20X2, balance sheet for the 20X1 and 20X2 sales?
A: $250,000 On installment sales, separate records must be kept as to each year’s sales, cost of goods sold, and gross profits (gross profit percentage). The gross profits are recognized to the extent of cash collections on the year’s receivables, and deferred to the extent of remaining receivables for that year (at the gross profit percentage). 20X2 20X1 --------- --------- Sales $900,000 $600,000 Less: Write-offs (50,000) (200,000) Collections (300,000) (300,000) --------- --------- Uncollected sales on December 31, 20X2 $550,000 $100,000 Times gross profit % x 0.40 x 0.30 --------- --------- Deferred gross profit $220,000 $ 30,000 ========= ========= Total deferred gross profit on December 31, 20X2 = $220,000 + $30,000 = $250,000

On June 1 of the current year, a company entered into a real estate lease agreement for a new building. The lease is an operating lease and is fully executed on that day. According to the terms of the lease, payments of $28,900 per month are scheduled to begin on October 1 of the current year and to continue each month thereafter for 56 months. The lease term spans five years. The company has a calendar year-end. What amount is the company's lease expense for the current calendar year?
A: $188,813 The inception of a lease is the date of the lease agreement. Rental expense should be as of that date. When the lease payments begin later than the inception date, the lease payments must be spread evenly over the longer period of time, which includes the months between the inception date and the beginning of the lease payments. $28,900 × 56 months = $1,618,400 $1,618,400 ÷ 60 months = $26,973.33 $26,973.33 × 7 months (June through December) = $188,813

Balm used the cost method to account for the treasury stock. What is Balm's weighted average of common stock outstanding at December 31?
``` Original shares outstanding 100,000 4/1 issue - 30,000 x 9/12 22,500 6/1 issue - 36,000 x 7/12 21,000 -------- 143,500 Effect of stock dividend x 1.05 -------- 150,675 Treasury stock acquired: 35,000 x 4/12 (11,667) -------- Weighted average outstanding 139,008 ```

Bensol Co. and Sable Co. exchanged similar trucks with fair values in excess of carrying amounts. In addition, Bensol paid Sable to compensate for the difference in truck values. As a consequence of the exchange, Sable recognizes:
A: a gain determined by the proportion of cash received to the total consideration. Sable will recognize a gain determined by the proportion of cash received to the total consideration. Similar trucks were exchanged in the transaction; therefore, there would be no gain. Very similar trucks would not significantly change cash flows—so the transaction would lack commercial substance. Now, add in the fact that Bensol paid Sable money. Since Sable received money, Sable now has to record a gain.

On November 1, 20X1, Davis Co. discounted with recourse at 10% a 1-year, noninterest bearing, $20,500 note receivable maturing on January 31, 20X2. What amount of contingent liability for this note must Davis disclose in its financial statements for the year ending December 31, 20X1?
A: $20,500 “With recourse” means that the financial entity where the note was discounted can collect fully from Davis Co. in the event the maker does not honor the note. Davis Co. should disclose the full amount ($20,500) of the note as a contingent liability in its December 31, 20X1, financial statements, because it is reasonably possible that Davis will have to make good on the note (FASB ASC 450-20-50-2).

On March 1, 20X1, Evan Corp. issued $500,000 of 10% nonconvertible bonds at 103, due on February 28, 20X9. Each $1,000 bond was issued with 30 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitled the holder to purchase for $50 one share of Evan's $25 par common stock. On March 1, 20X1, the market price of each warrant was $4. By what amount should the bond issue proceeds increase stockholders' equity?
A: $60,000 Since the warrants are detachable, the proceeds from the bond issue must be allocated between the bonds (debt) and the warrants (under stockholder's equity) on the basis of fair market values. Summary journal entry for March 1 issuance of bonds: Dr. Cr. Cash ($500,000 x 1.03) $515,000 Discount on bonds payable ($560,000- $515,000) 45,000 Stock warrants outstanding (1) (500 bonds x 30 warrants x $4) 60,000 Bonds payable 500,000 (1) $500,000 / $1,000 bond = 500 bonds The balance ($60,000) in stock warrants outstanding would be classified under stockholder's equity in the balance sheet. Upon exercise, this balance would be transferred into the appropriate capital stock and additional paid-in capital accounts.

Howe Co. leased equipment to Kew Corp. on January 2, 20X1, for an 8-year period expiring December 31, 20X8. Equal payments under the lease are $600,000 and are due on January 2 of each year. The first payment was made on January 2, 20X1. The list selling price of the equipment is $3,520,000 and its carrying cost on Howe's books is $2,800,000. The lease is appropriately accounted for as a sales-type lease. The present value of the lease payments at an imputed interest rate of 12% (Howe's incremental borrowing rate) is $3,300,000. What amount of profit on the sale should Howe report for the year ended December 31, 20X1?
Sales-type leases give rise to manufacturer's profit to the lessor defined as the difference between the sales price and the carrying value of the asset. Present value of lease payments (i.e. sales price) $3,300,000 Less carrying value of leased property 2,800,000 ---------- Income to be reported for year ended December 31, 20X1 $ 500,000 ==========

An entity purchased new machinery from a supplier before the entity's year-end. The entity paid freight charges for the purchased machinery. The entity took out a loan from a bank to finance the purchase. Under IFRS, what is the proper accounting treatment for the freight and interest costs related to the machinery purchase?
The freight cost should be capitalized as part of property, plant, and equipment, and the interest cost should be immediately expensed.

A note payable was issued in payment for services received. The services had a fair value less than the face amount of the note payable. The note payable has no stated interest rate. How should the note payable be presented in the statement of financial position?
At the face amount minus a discount calculated at the imputed interest rate When a note payable is exchanged for property, goods, or services, and the interest rate is not stated or is unreasonable, record the note at the fair value of the property, goods, or services exchanged OR at the amount that approximates the market value of the note, whichever is more clearly determinable. In the absence of said information, the note is recorded at its present value by discounting all future payments on the note using an imputed interest rate. The imputed interest rate is determined by considering the debtor’s credit standing, prevailing rates for similar debt, and rates at which the debtor can obtain funds. The note payable should be presented in the statement of financial position at its face amount minus the discount calculated at the imputed interest rate.

A: $293,000 Under the principle of consolidation, the parent and subsidiary are considered a single economic entity. Thus, the consolidated balance sheet reports the combined (parent plus subsidiary) asset and liability accounts. The single parent-sub entity owns all the net assets of both entities. Total stockholders' equity accounts on the consolidated balance sheet equals the total stockholders' equity of the parent plus the noncontrolling interest. Therefore, Dallas, Inc., reports total stockholders' equity account on December 31, 20X1, of $270,000 ($50,000 + $80,250 + $139,750) plus 20% of the total stockholders' equity of Style of $23,000 ($20,000 + $44,000 + $51,000), which is $293,000.

Potter Co. has the following contingencies, all resulting from lawsuits in progress during the current year: Probable loss contingency $1,500,000 Reasonably possible loss contingency 500,000 Probable gain contingency 700,000 Reasonably possible gain contingency 300,000
Disclosed: $2,000,000 loss and $1,000,000 gain; Accrued: $1,500,000 loss Contingent losses are accrued when probable and reasonably estimable. Contingent losses are disclosed when probable or reasonably probable. Contingent gains are not accrued but should be disclosed when probable or reasonably probable. Only the reasonably probably loss should be accrued ($1,500,000). All of the gains and losses should be disclosed (Losses: $1,500,000 + $500,000 = $2,000,000, Gains: $700,000 + $300,000 = $1,000,000).

Dean Company uses the retail inventory method to estimate its inventory for interim statement purposes. Data relating to the computation of the inventory at July 31 are as follows: Cost Retail Inventory, 2/1 $ 180,000 $ 250,000 Purchases 1,020,000 1,575,000 Markups, net 175,000 Sales 1,705,000 Estimated normal shoplifting losses 20,000 Markdowns net 125,000 Under the approximate lower of average cost or market retail method, Dean’s estimated inventory at July 31 is:
A: $90,000 First, add the beginning inventory and purchases in the cost column: $180,000 + $1,020,000 = $1,200,000 When seeking the lower of cost or market method for the retail method, add, in the retail column, first only the beginning inventory, the purchases, and the net markups: $250,000 + $1,575,000 + $175,000 = $2,000,000 Divide these subtotals, to get the cost-to-retail ratio: $1,200,000 ÷ $2,000,000 = 0.6 Next, from the subtotal in the retail column, subtract the sales, normal losses, and markdowns, leaving an ending inventory, at retail, of $150,000: $2,000,000 – $1,705,000 – $20,000 – $125,000 = $150,000 The final step to get the ending inventory at lower of average cost or market is to take the ending inventory at retail of $150,000 and multiply it by the cost to retail ratio of 0.6: $150,000 × 0.6 = $90,000

On December 30 of the current year, Haber Co. leased a new machine from Gregg Corp. The following data relate to the lease transaction at the inception of the lease: Lease term 10 years Annual rental payable at the end of each lease year $100,000 Estimated life of machine 12 years Implicit interest rate 10% Present value of an annuity of $1 in advance for 10 periods at 10% 6.76 Present value of an annuity of $1 in arrears for 10 periods at 10% 6.15 Fair value of the machine $700,000 The lease has no renewal option, and the possession of the machine reverts to Gregg when the lease terminates. At the inception of the lease, Haber should record a lease liability of:
A: $615,000 This lease qualifies as a capital lease because the lease term of 10 years exceeds 75% of the asset’s useful life of 12 years (10 > 0.75 × 12 = 9). When a lease is considered a capital lease, then the lessee capitalizes the lease property and recognizes a lease obligation for the present value of the minimum lease payments. The minimum lease payments here are the $100,000 a year at the end of each year, and their present value is 100,000 × 6.15 (present value of an annuity in arrears or ordinary annuity, for 10 periods at 10%). Thus, the answer is $615,000: 100,000 × 6.15 = $615,000 ANNUITY IN ARREARS = ordinary annuity.

Articulation means that financial statements are:
Articulation means that the elements of financial statements are fundamentally interrelated in two ways: (1) beginning balance + changes = ending balance, and (2) assets = liabilities + equity. The concept of double-entry accounting (i.e., debits = credits) incorporates these relationships. In this way, financial statements show different aspects of the same transaction or event affecting the entity. Financial statements are not separate and self-balancing—the balance sheet is dependent upon the current period income or loss from the income statement to be balanced. Similarly, financial statements are affected by the other financial statements—changes in balance sheet elements (assets and liabilities) are reflected in the statement of cash flows.

On April 1, 20X2, Hill Corp. issued 200 of its $1,000 face value bonds at 101 plus accrued interest. The bonds were dated November 1, 20X1, and bear interest at an annual rate of 9% payable semiannually on November 1 and May 1. What amount did Hill receive from the bond issuance?
The bonds themselves were sold for 101% of face value, but they were issued between interest payment dates, and thus five months of accrued interest was also received, and will be paid back (along with another month’s interest) at the scheduled interest payment date. Sales price of bonds = 1.01 x 200 x $1,000 = $202,000 Accrued interest = (5/12) (.09 x 200 x $1,000) = 7,500 -------- Total received from bond issuance $209,500 ========

Ball Corp. had the following foreign currency transactions during the current year: Goods purchased from a foreign supplier on January 20 for the U.S. dollar equivalent of $90,000. The invoice was paid on March 20, at the U.S. dollar equivalent of $96,000. On July 1, Ball borrowed the U.S. dollar equivalent of $500,000 evidenced by a note that was payable in the lender’s local currency on July 1, in two years. On December 31, the U.S. dollar equivalents of the principal amount and accrued interest were $520,000 and $26,000, respectively. Interest on the note is 10% per annum. In Ball’s year-end income statement, what amount should be included as foreign exchange loss? A. $0 Incorrect B. $6,000 C. $21,000 D. $27,000
Ball's year-end income statement should include $27,000 as foreign exchange loss, calculated as follows: Foreign currency loss on goods purchased ($90,000 - $96,000) $ 6,000 Loan principal foreign currency loss ($500,000 - $520,000) 20,000 Loan interest foreign currency loss ($25,000* - $26,000) 1,000 Total loss $27,000

On July 1, Year 1, Kay Corp. sold equipment to Mando Co. for $100,000. Kay accepted a 10% note receiv­able for the entire sales price. This note is payable in two equal installments of $50,000 plus accrued interest on December 31, Year 1 and Year 2. On July 1, Year 2, Kay discounted the note at a bank at an interest rate of 12%. Kay’s proceeds from the discounted note were:
A: $51,700 When accounting for a discounted note and computing the cash proceeds, one must first find the maturity value of the note, what will be received by the holder of the note when it comes due. By the time of the discounting, some of the principal has already been paid. Only the second installment, the final $50,000 principal plus interest, will be paid to the bank when due. At the end of December, Year 2, the $50,000 will be received by the bank along with 10% interest (since the principal will have been outstanding for a whole year). On December 31, Year 2, a total of $55,000 maturity value will be due: $50,000 + ($50,000 × 0.1) = $55,000 The discounted proceeds will be based on this amount, the discount rate (0.12), and the discounting period (from July to December of Year 2, 6 months). The discount amount is thus: $55,000 × 0.12 × 6/12 = $3,300 The cash proceeds are the maturity value less the discount: $55,000 – $3,300 = $51,700

A company had the following outstanding shares as of January 1, Year 2: Preferred stock, $60 par, 4%, cumulative 10,000 shares Common stock, $3 par 50,000 shares On April 1, Year 2, the company sold 8,000 shares of previously unissued common stock. No dividends were in arrears on January 1, Year 2, and no dividends were declared or paid during Year 2. Net income for Year 2 totaled $236,000. What amount is basic earnings per share for the year ended December 31, Year 2?
Basic earnings per share (EPS) is net income divided by weighted-average common stock outstanding (WACSO). Net income must be reduced by preferred cumulative dividends. Net income - Preferred cumulative dividend = $236,000 - ($600,000 × 0.04) = $212,000 WACSO = 50,000 shares + (8,000 shares × 9/12) = 56,000 shares Basic EPS = $212,000 ÷ 56,000 shares = $3.79/share
74
The following computations were made from Clay Co.’s current-year-end books: Number of days' sales in inventory 61 Number of days' sales in trade accounts receivable 33 What was the number of days in Clay’s current-year operating cycle?
The operating cycle is the approximate time from investment in inventory to receipt of cash from sales of inventory. The operating cycle is the time that inventory is kept prior to sale added to the time from sale to cash collection (days in accounts receivables). Thus, the company’s operating cycle is simply the total of both of these times given in the question: days' sales in inventory plus days' sales in accounts receivable: 61 days + 33 days = 94 days

During January of the previous year, Doe Corp. agreed to sell the assets and product line of its Hart division. The sale on January 15 of the current year resulted in a gain on disposal of $900,000. Not con­sidering any impairment losses, Hart’s operating losses were $600,000 for the previous year and $50,000 for the current-year period January 1 through January 15. Disregarding income taxes, what amount of net gain (loss) should be reported in Doe’s comparative current and previous years' income statements?
The sale of a division would be a discontinued operation since its disposition represents a strategic shift. The discontinued operation would be recorded in the year the sale occurred. Previous Current Net loss from continuing operations $(600,000) $(50,000) Gain on sale of discontinued operations 900,000 Net income $(600,000) $850,000

A company is obligated to pay a specified amount to a supplier even if it does not take delivery of the contracted goods. This type of commitment is:
not reported on the balance sheet but disclosed in the notes to the financial statements. When a company is obligated to pay a specified amount to a supplier even if it does not take delivery of the contracted goods, it has an unconditional purchase commitment. Such an obligation is not reported on the balance sheet but is disclosed in the notes to the financial statements at the present value of the future required payments.

A company obtained a $300,000 loan with a 10% interest rate on January 1, Year 1, to finance the construction of an office building for its own use. Building construction began on January 1, Year 1, and the project was not completed as of December 31, Year 1. The following payments were made in Year 1 related to the construction project: January 1 Purchased land for $120,000 September 1 Progress payment to contractor for $150,000 What amount of interest should be capitalized for the year ended December 31, Year 1?
A: $17,000 The capitalized interest is based on the payments made for the land and progress payments to the contractor based on the amount of the year that these payments were outstanding. The land payment of $120,000 was outstanding the entire year for an expenditure amount of $120,000 × 12/12, or $120,000. The progress payment to the contractor was for $150,000 and was made in September, for only the last four months of the year, thus an expenditure of $150,000 × 4/12, or $50,000. The total weighted-average expenditures was thus $120,000 and $50,000, for a total of $170,000. A larger ($300,000) specifically construction-related debt was outstanding all year, so there is enough principal to capitalize the interest at the 10% rate of the loan. The capitalized interest is thus $170,000 × 0.10, or $17,000.

On October 1, Year 1, Acme Fuel Co. sold 100,000 gallons of heating oil to Karn Co. at $3 per gallon. Fifty-thousand (50,000) gallons were delivered on December 15, Year 1, and the remaining 50,000 gallons were delivered on January 15, Year 2. Payment terms were 50% due on October 1, Year 1, 25% due on first delivery, and the remaining 25% due on second delivery. What amount of revenue should Acme recog­nize from this sale during Year 1?
Revenue is recognized when the earnings process is complete and the exchange has taken place. Only 50,000 gallons have been “exchanged” by delivery. Therefore, revenue would be: 50,000 gallons × $3/per gallon = $150,000

On July 1, Year 1, Pell Co. purchased Green Corp. 10-year, 8% bonds with a face amount of $500,000 for $420,000. The bonds mature on June 30, Year 9, and pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. Using the interest method, Pell recorded bond discount amortization of $1,800 for the six months ended December 31, Year 1. From this long-term investment, Pell should report Year 1 revenue of:
A: $21,800 If bonds are purchased at a discount, then the discount is immediately recorded as a credit in the acquiring corporation’s books. As the discount is amortized, it is thus debited, to decrease it. When cash is received as interest, the additional debit to amortize the discount adds to the debit to cash to increase the total credit to recognized revenue. Therefore, the total revenue for the year will be the cash received as interest over the semiannual period, $500,000 (face amount) × 0.08 (8%) × 6/12, or $20,000, plus the $1,800 discount amortized, for a total revenue for the year of $21,800.
83
Perk, Inc., issued $500,000, 10% bonds to yield 8%. Bond issuance costs were $10,000. How should Perk calculate the net proceeds to be received from the issuance?
A: Discount the bonds at the market rate of interest and deduct bond issuance costs. To determine the issue price for a bond, the cash flows from the bond should be discounted at the yield, or market, rate. The cash flows include the principal repayment and interest payments calculated at the stated rate. The net proceeds are the issue price less the cost to issue the bonds.

Trans Co. uses a periodic inventory system. The following are inventory transactions for the month of January. 1/1 Beginning inventory 10,000 units at $3 1/5 Purchase 5,000 units at $4 1/15 Purchase 5,000 units at $5 1/20 Sales at $10 per unit 10,000 units Trans uses the average pricing method to determine the value of its inventory. What amount should Trans report as cost of goods sold on its income statement for the month of January?
A: $37,500 The "average cost method" in a periodic inventory system is referred to as the WEIGHTED-AVG. METHOD. weighted-average per unit = COG available for sale / # units of goods available for sale Ending inventory equals the weighted-average cost per unit times the units in ending inventory. Cost of goods sold equals cost of goods available for sale less ending inventory. In this question: Units Unit Cost Total ------ --------- ------- Beginning inventory 10,000 $3.00 $30,000 1/5 purchase 5,000 4.00 20,000 1/15 purchase 5,000 5.00 25,000 ------ ------- Total 20,000 $75,000 Weighted-average cost per unit = $75,000 ÷ 20,000 units = $3.75 per unit Units in ending inventory = 20,000 available for sale - 10,000 sold = 10,000 units Cost of ending inventory = $3.75 per unit × 10,000 units = $37,500 Cost of goods sold = $75,000 - $37,500 = $37,500 Of course, if one noticed that half of the units available for sale were sold, one could have determined that the cost of goods sold would be half of the cost of goods available for sale using the weighted-average method.

When should an anticipated loss on a long-term contract be recognized under the percentage-of-comple­tion method and the completed-contract method, respectively?
A: Percentage of completion, immediately; Completed contract, immediately Under the %-COMPLETION method, gains are recognized on profitable long-term contracts as the work is progressing Under the COMPLTD-CONTRACT method, all gains are deferred and recognized when the contract is complete. However, both methods are alike in recognizing estimated ultimate losses on a losing contract immediately.

A business combination is accounted for properly as an acquisition (initiated in a fiscal year beginning after December 15, 2008). Direct costs of combination, other than registration and issuance costs of equity securities, should be:
A: deducted in determining the net income of the combined corporation for the period in which the costs were incurred. Business combinations accounted for as an acquisition should treat expenses related to the combination as follows: - Out-of-pocket costs such as fees of finders and consultants are expensed. - Issuance costs such as SEC filing fees are charged to the paid-in-capital account. - FASB ASC 805-10-25-23 states the following: Quote Acquisition-related costs are costs the acquirer incurs to effect a business combination. Those costs include finder's fees; advisory, legal, accounting, valuation, and other professional or consulting fees; general administrative costs, including the costs of maintaining an internal acquisitions department; and costs of registering and issuing debt and equity securities. The acquirer shall account for acquisition-related costs as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and the services are received, with one exception. The costs to issue debt or equity securities shall be recognized in accordance with other applicable GAAP.

Total revenues, gain, and other support will include the following: Net patient service revenue $500,000 Less Charity care 100,000 $400,000 -------- Other revenue 80,000 Net assets released from restrictions used for operations 50,000 -------- Total $530,000 ======== Charity care does not qualify for recognition as revenues in the financial statements. These are services provided without expectation of payment. The bad debt expense would not affect the patient service revenue reported by a private not-for-profit hospital. In contrast, uncollectible patient accounts would reduce patient services revenues reported by governmental hospitals.

On December 31, 20X1, Dahlia, a nongovernmental not-for-profit entity, purchased a vehicle with $15,000 unrestricted cash and received a donated second vehicle having a fair value of $12,000. Dahlia expects each vehicle to provide it with equal service value over each of the next five years and then to have no residual value. Dahlia has an accounting policy implying a time restriction on gifts of long-lived assets. In Dahlia's 20X2 statement of activities, what depreciation expense should be included under changes in unrestricted net assets?
Nongovernmental not-for-profit entities must depreciate all fixed assets used in operations except land. All expenses of nongovernmental not-for-profit entities must be reported as changes in unrestricted net assets. Donated assets must be recorded at fair value at the date of donation. Therefore, the depreciation expense both of the purchased vehicle ($15,000 ÷ 5 years, or $3,000) and of the donated vehicle ($12,000 ÷ 5 years, or $2,400) must be reported under changes in unrestricted net assets. The total depreciation expense of the two vehicles is $5,400.

Young Co. issues $800,000 of 10% bonds dated January 1, Year 1. Interest is payable semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds mature in five years. The current market for similar bonds is 8%. The entire issue is sold on the date of issue. The following values are given: Present Value of Ordinary Annuity Present Value of $1 ---------------- ------------------- N=10; i=0.04 8.11090 0.67556 N=10; i=0.05 7.72173 0.61391 What amount of proceeds on the sale of bonds should Young report?
This question is about the computation of the issue price for a bond. The bonds will pay semiannually, and thus will pay $40,000 twice each year, computed as follows: Face amount of $800,000 × 10% coupon × 6/12 (half-year) = $40,000 The yield of the bonds is 8% annually, but in half-year periods it is 4% a half-year. The present value of the bonds is thus the $40,000 multiplied by the present value of the ordinary annuity for 10 periods and 4%, plus the $800,000 par value of the bonds multiplied by the present value of $1 at 10 periods, 4%: Issue price = ($40,000 × 8.11090) + ($800,000 × 0.67556) = $324,436 + $540,448 = $864,884

Hutch, Inc., uses the conventional retail inventory method to account for inventory. The following informa­tion relates to current-year operations: Average Cost Retail Beginning inventory and purchases $600,000 $920,000 Net markups 40,000 Net markdowns 60,000 Sales 780,000 What amount should be reported as cost of sales for the current year?
In the retail column, add the beginning inventory and purchases to the net markups for a subtotal of $960,000: $920,000 + $40,000 = $960,000 Next, divide the cost of $600,000 by this subtotal: $600,000 ÷ $960,000 = 0.625 Then, get the ending inventory at retail, the $960,000 subtotal less the net markdowns and sales for a total of $120,000: $960,000 – $60,000 – $780,000 = $120,000 Multiply the ending inventory at retail by the cost to retail percentage of 0.625 (62,5%) to reach the ending inventory at cost: $120,000 × 0.625 = $75,000 Cost of sales is the beginning inventory and purchases at cost, less the ending inventory at cost: $600,000 – $75,000 = $525,000

Gold Co. purchased equipment from Marshall Co. on July 1. Gold paid Marshall $10,000 cash and signed a $100,000 noninterest-bearing note payable, due in three years. Gold recorded a $24,868 discount on notes payable related to this transaction. What is the acquired cost of the equipment on July 1?
The cost of equipment is the price paid to acquire it, or the value paid out (or liability taken on) in the purchase. In this case, the cost of the equipment is the $10,000 paid, plus the value of the note payable, which is the face value of $100,000, less the discount of $24,868. This gives a total cost of $10,000 + 1$00,000 – $24,868 = $85,132.

Selected information from the accounting records of Dalton Manufacturing Company is as follows: Net sales from the current year $1,800,000 Cost of goods sold for the current year 1,200,000 Inventories at December 31 previous year 336,000 Inventories at December 31 current year 288,000 Assuming that there are 300 working days per year, what is the number of days’ sales in average inventories for the current year?
Days' sales in inventory = (Average inventory ÷ Cost of goods sold) × Working days per year: (($336,000 + $288,000) ÷ 2) ÷ $1,200,000 = 0.26 0.26 × 300 days = 78 days

Glade Co. leases computer equipment to customers under direct financing leases. The equipment has no residual value at the end of the lease and the leases do not contain bargain purchase options. Glade wishes to earn 8% interest on a 5-year lease of equipment with a fair value of $323,400. The present value of an annuity due of $1 at 8% for five years is 4.312. What is the total amount of interest revenue that Glade will earn over the life of the lease?
Annual lease payment = Fair value of equipment / Present value factor = $323,400 / 4.312 = $75,000 Total lease amount collected = Annual lease payment x 5 years = $75,000 x 5 = $375,000 Interest revenue = Lease amount collected - Fair value of equipment earned = $375,000 - $323,400 = $51,600

Neron Co. has two derivatives related to two different financial instruments, Instrument A and Instrument B, both of which are debt instruments. The derivative related to Instrument A is a fair value hedge, and the derivative related to Instrument B is a cash flow hedge. Neron experienced gains in the value of Instruments A and B due to a change in interest rates. Which of the gains should be reported by Neron in its income statement?
FASB ASC 815-25-35-1 requires that gains or losses associated with changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument be recognized in net income in the period in which the change in fair value takes place. The gain or loss resulting from changes in the fair value of a cash flow hedge is included in other comprehensive income. Consequently, only the gain in the value of Instrument A would be included in net income.

The Dunstown County general fund received a notice of a federal grant award for an expenditure-driven (reimbursement) grant in the amount of $1,000,000. Included with the notice was an advance of $250,000. During the year, the County incurred $400,000 of qualifying eligible grant expenditures, and no additional money had been received from the grantor. What would be the amount of deferred revenues reported at the end of the year by the general fund?
A: $0 Resources provided before that period of qualifying activity should be recognized as deferred revenues. Since the amount of qualifying expenditures exceeded the amount of the advance, there would be no deferred revenues reported at year-end. GASB N50.116

The last member of Cross Corners' founding family, Ezra Cross, left his collection of early American art to the City for permanent display in city office buildings. The fair value of the collection at donation was $2,000,000. The Cross Corners city council formally accepted the collection and set a policy that the art would (a) be held for public exhibition, (b) be protected, cared for, and kept unencumbered, and (c) not be sold except for the purposes of acquiring different items for the collection. The city council agreed that the collection should not be capitalized for financial reporting purposes. The city's maximum depreciation horizon for capital assets is 40 years. How would the collection affect the government-wide financial records in the first year?
A: Because the art will be displayed in general government buildings, the governmental activities would show revenue from donations of $2,000,000 and an expense of $2,000,000. The city council's formal policy for the donated collection of American art meets the three criteria that permit the city to avoid capitalization of the art collection. If the collection is not capitalized, it would not be listed among the capital assets used for governmental activities, and depreciation would not be reported. In the year of the donation, a recipient government should recognize a revenue as well as an expense in the same amount.

On December 31, 20X1, Key Co. received two $10,000 non-interest-bearing notes from customers in exchange for services rendered. The note from Alpha Co., which is due in nine months, was made under customary trade terms, but the note from Omega Co., which is due in two years, was not. The market interest rate for both notes at the date of issuance is 8%. The present value of $1 due in nine months at 8% is 0.944. The present value of $1 due in two years at 8% is 0.857. At what amounts should these two notes receivable be reported in Key's December 31, 20X1, balance sheet?
A: Alpha $10,000, Omega $8,570 Current receivables acquired as a result of customary trade terms are normally reported at their face value. Long-term receivables are reported at their present value: $10,000 × 0.857 = 8,570.

Ivy Co. operates a retail store. All items are sold subject to a 6% state sales tax, which Ivy collects and records as sales revenue. Ivy files quarterly sales tax returns when due, by the 20th day following the end of the sales quarter. However, in accordance with state requirements, Ivy remits sales tax collected by the 20th day of the month following any month such collections exceed $500. Ivy takes these payments as credits on the quarterly sales tax return. The sales taxes paid by Ivy are charged against sales revenue. The following is a monthly summary appearing in Ivy's first quarter 20X1 sales revenue account: Debit Credit January $10,600 February $ 600 7,420 March 8,480 ------ ------- $ 600 $26,500 ====== ======= In its March 31, 20X1, balance sheet, what amount should Ivy report as sales taxes payable?
January sales tax was paid in February since tax was over $500 ($600). $10,600 / 1.06 = $10,000 sales $10,000 x .06 = $600 tax February sales = Credit to sales / (1.00 + Tax rate) = $7,420 / 1.06 = $7,000 ``` February sales tax = $7,000 x .06 = $420 OR = $7,420 - $7,000 = $420 ``` March sales = Credit to sales / (1.00 + Tax rate) = $8,480 / 1.06 = $8,000 ``` March sales tax = $8,000 x .06 = $480 OR = $8,480 - $8,000 = $480 ``` Sales tax payable on 3/31/X1 = $420 + $480 = $900

Tara Co. owns an office building and leases the offices under a variety of rental agreements involving rent paid in advance monthly or annually. Not all tenants make timely payments of their rent. Tara’s balance sheets contained the following data: Year 1 Year 2 Rentals receivable $9,600 $12,400 Unearned rentals 32,000 24,000 During Year 2, Tara received $80,000 cash from tenants. What amount of rental revenue should Tara record for Year 2?
This is a case of converting from cash-basis rent revenue to accrual-basis revenue. Rent received in cash plus the increase in rental receivables, plus the decrease in unearned rent would be rent revenue on an accrual basis. (Cash plus increase in assets and decreases in related liabilities is revenue.) Thus, the revenue for the year is $80,000 cash received, plus the increase in receivables of $2,800 (from $9,600 to $12,400), adding the decrease in unearned rent of $8,000 (down from $32,000 to $24,000), which adds up to $90,800: $80,000 + $2,800 + $8,000 = $90,800

A private not-for-profit college received $100,000 from a donor who stipulated that the principal remain intact, but the income may be used for any purpose. Investment earnings were $10,000 during the first year. How would receipt of this donation and income earned be reported in the statement of activities for the year?
A: As an increase in both permanently restricted net assets and unrestricted net assets The $100,000 donation received may not be spent by the college and should be recorded as an increase in permanently restricted net assets. The $10,000 in investment income should be reported as an increase in unrestricted net assets since no restrictions have been placed on its use. The statement of activities presents changes in the three net asset classes separately.

Based on the stock transactions below, what is the weighted-average number of shares outstanding as of December 31, year 1, that should be used in the calculation of basic earnings per share in financial statements issued on March 1, year 2? Date Transactions January 1, year 1 Beginning balance 100,000 April 1, year 1 Issued 30,000 shares for cash June 1, year 1 50% stock dividend February 15, year 2 2-for-1 stock split March 15, year 2 Issued 40,000 shares for cash
Earnings per share (EPS) is a comparison of the earnings applicable to common stock with the number of shares of common stock of that enterprise. Basic EPS is based on the weighted-average number of actual common shares (WACS) outstanding during the period. In computing WACS, retroactive application is given to stock splits and stock dividends. WACS is computed as follows: ``` 1/1 100,000 × 1.5 × 12/12 = 150,000 4/1 30,000 × 1.5 × 9/12 = 33,750 183,750 Effect of retroactive split 2 367,500 ```

On March 1, 20X1, Evan Corp. issued $500,000 of 10% nonconvertible bonds at 103, due on February 28, 20X9. Each $1,000 bond was issued with 30 detachable stock warrants, each of which entitled the holder to purchase for $50 one share of Evan's $25 par common stock. On March 1, 20X1, the market price of each warrant was $4. By what amount should the bond issue proceeds increase stockholders' equity?
A: $60K Since the warrants are detachable, the proceeds from the bond issue must be allocated between the bonds (debt) and the warrants (under stockholder's equity) on the basis of fair market values. Summary journal entry for March 1 issuance of bonds: Dr. Cr. Cash ($500,000 x 1.03) $515,000 Discount on bonds payable ($560,000- $515,000) 45,000 Stock warrants outstanding (1) (500 bonds x 30 warrants x $4) 60,000 Bonds payable 500,000 (1) $500,000 / $1,000 bond = 500 bonds

The following information is relevant to one of the City of Mullins' General Fund's derived tax revenues: Fiscal year-end June 30 Beginning receivables $450,000 Beginning deferred revenues 100,000 Beginning allowance for doubtful accounts 50,000 Receipts 1,250,000 Ending receivables 600,000 Receivables collected 6/30 - 8/30 125,000 Ending allowance for doubtful accounts 60,000 The City of Mullins considers derived tax receivables collected within 60 days after the close of the fiscal year to be “available.” Furthermore, the City wrote off $30,000 of receivables as uncollectible during the year. What would be the amount of revenues reported at the fund level?
Derived tax revenues are reported when the underlying transaction has occurred, and for the modified accrual method of accounting, when the resource is considered to be available. At the fund level, the General Fund computes revenues using the modified accrual method. Furthermore, governmental entities report revenues net of any allowance for doubtful accounts. A total of $100,000 of the beginning receivable had been deferred and $50,000 was classified as doubtful. Therefore, the balance ($300,000) would have been previously recognized as revenue of a prior period. When you subtract the $300,000 of prior-year revenues from current-year receipts ($1,250,000) and add to it that portion of the ending receivable considered to be available at year-end ($125,000) you have revenues for the current year equal to $1,075,000. Beginning receivables $450,000 Beginning deferred revenues (100,000) --------- $350,000 Beginning doubtful accounts (50,000) --------- Prior-year revenues $300,000 ========= Current-year receipts $1,250,000 Prior-year revenue 300,000 ----------- $950,000 Available at end of year 125,000 ----------- Current-year revenue $1,075,000 ===========

Clark Co. had the following transactions with affiliated parties during 20X1: - Sales of $60,000 to Dean, Inc., with $20,000 gross profit. Dean had $15,000 of this inventory on hand at year-end. Clark owns a 15% interest in Dean and does not exert significant influence. - Purchases of raw materials totaling $240,000 from Kent Corp., a wholly owned subsidiary. Kent's gross profit on the sale was $48,000. Clark had $60,000 of this inventory remaining on December 31, 20X1. Before eliminating entries, Clark had consolidated current assets of $320,000. What amount should Clark report in its December 31, 20X1, consolidated balance sheet for current assets?
A: $308,000 Consolidated current assets before eliminations $320,000 Less intercompany profit on remaining inventory purchased from Kent (Note 1) 12,000 -------- Adjusted consolidated current assets $308,000 ======== Note 1: Computation of intercompany profit: Gross profit rate = $48,000 / $240,000 = 20% Gross profit in inventory = 20% x $60,000 = $12,000 Note also that since Clark owns less than 20% of Dean, Inc., and does not exert significant influence, the gross profit from the sale to Dean does not require elimination.

The Town of Starbuck's general fund received a notice of a federal grant award for an expenditure-driven (reimbursement) grant in the amount of $2,000,000. Included with the notice was an advance of $1,000,000. During the year, the Town incurred $1,400,000 of program expenditures of which $800,000 were considered eligible qualifying expenditures. No additional money had been received from the grantor during the year. What would be the amount of deferred revenues reported at the end of the year by the general fund?
Normally, resources provided before that period of qualifying activity should be recognized as deferred revenues. Insofar as the amount of qualifying expenditures was less than the amount of the advance, the deferred revenues would be equal to the difference. Advance received $1,000,000 Qualifying expenditures 800,000 ---------- Deferred revenues $ 200,000 ==========
