Rock Co.’s financial statements had the following balances at December 31:

Extraordinary gain $ 50,000
Foreign currency translation gain 100,000
Net income 400,000
Unrealized gain on the available-for-sale equity securities 20,000

 What amount should Rock report as comprehensive income for the year ended December 31? 
 A.   $400,000 
 B.   $420,000 
 C.   $520,000 
 D.   $570,000

C
Correct!
By definition, comprehensive income includes all changes in enterprise equity during a period except those changes resulting from transaction between the enterprise and its owners (e.g., investments by owners, dividends to owners, etc.). Therefore, comprehensive income includes net income plus/minus changes in equity that do not enter into the determination of net income (called items of “other comprehensive income”).
Currently, there are four possible items of other comprehensive income:
1.minimum additional pension liability adjustment,
2. unrealized gains and losses on investments classified as available-for-sale (and certain other related unrealized gains/losses),
3. gains and losses resulting from translating financial statements expressed in a foreign currency (foreign currency translation) and losses/gains on related hedges,
4. and gains and losses on the effective portion of cash flow hedges.

For Rock Co. comprehensive income would be computed as:
Net income (includes the extraordinary gain) $400,000
Items of other comprehensive income:
Foreign currency translation gain 100,000
Unrealized gain on available-for-sale security 20,000
Comprehensive income $520,000

Under FASB U.S. GAAP, which of the following items would cause earnings to differ from comprehensive income for an enterprise in an industry not having specialized accounting principles?
A. Unrealized loss on investments in noncurrent marketable equity securities.
B. Unrealized loss on investments in current marketable equity securities.
C. Loss on exchange of similar assets.
D. Loss on exchange of dissimilar assets.

Correct!
Unrealized gains and losses on securities available for sale are among the few items that appear in comprehensive income but not in earnings. Only SAS can be noncurrent. Assuming the current securities are classified as trading securities, then that unrealized loss is included in earnings.
This is a change in owners’ equity that is not included in earnings and is not the result of a transaction with owners. It is an “other” comprehensive income item. “Other” refers to other than net income, which is the largest component of comprehensive income. The remaining items are recognized in income.

The Statement of Changes in Equity shows an increase in the common stock account of $2,000 and an increase in the additional paid-in capital account of $10,000. If the common stock has a par value of $2, and the only transactions affecting these accounts were these issues of common stock, what was the average issue price of the common stock during the year?

A. 	 $2

B. 	 $5

C. 	 $10

D. 	 $12

A
Incorrect…

The average issue price is the sum of the par value and the additional paid-in capital. $2 represents the par value per share amount, $2.

D
Correct!

If the par value of the stock is $2, and the increase in the common stock account is $2,000, then $2,000/$2 = 1,000 shares issued. The average issue price is the sum of the par value ($2) and the additional paid-in capital ($10,000/1,000 shares, or $10), which totals $12.

A
Incorrect…

This reconciliation must be reported as a footnote or supplementary schedule to the direct method Statement of Cash Flows. It does not appear in the body of the statement.

D
Correct!

The direct method Statement of Cash Flows must be supported by the supplemental disclosure of a reconciliation, but the reconciliation is of net income to net cash flow from operations, not retained earnings to net cash flow from operations. The ending retained earnings balance is not related to, and does not affect, operating cash flow.

Two Formats Allowed By GAAP
A. As discussed in detail later, the Statement of Cash Flows can be presented using either the direct or the indirect format.
B. The only difference between the two is in the operating activity section of the statement. The direct method reports the actual operating cash flows in the operating section. The indirect method reports the reconciliation of net income and net operating cash flow in the operating section. Both lead to the same subtotal: net operating cash flow. The following diagram shows the differences and similarities between the approaches.
Direct Method Indirect Method
Operating Activities: Operating Cash Flows Reconciliation
Investing Activities: Investing Cash Flows Investing Cash Flows
Financing Activities: Financing Cash Flows Financing Cash Flows
C. The direct method reports the reconciliation in a separate schedule.
D. Only the operating-activities section is different between the formats. Most firms use the indirect method.

New England Co. had net cash provided by operating activities of $351,000; net cash used by investing activities of $420,000; and cash provided by financing activities of $250,000.
New England’s cash balance was $27,000 on January 1. During the year, there was a sale of land that resulted in a gain of $25,000, and proceeds of $40,000 were received from the sale.

What was New England’s cash balance at the end of the year?

A. 	$ 27,000
B. 	$ 40,000
C. 	$208,000
D. 	$248,000

C
Correct!

The cash balance at the end of the year equals the cash balance at the beginning of the year, $27,000, plus the net sum of the three categories of cash flows: $351,000 operating - $420,000 investing + $250,000 financing. The ending balance is $208,000.
The $40,000 proceeds from land sale are included in the net cash outflow from investing activities.

B
Incorrect…

The $40,000 proceeds from land sale is already included in the net cash outflow from investing activities ($420,000). The firm also had operating and financing cash flows.
The correct approach is to begin with the Jan. 1 balance and add/subtract the three net cash flow amounts for operating, investing, and financing activities.

Bay Manufacturing Co. purchased a three-month U.S. Treasury bill.
In preparing Bay’s Statement of Cash Flows, this purchase would:
A. Have no effect.
B. Be treated as an outflow from financing activities.
C. Be treated as an outflow from investing activities.
D. Be treated as an outflow from lending activities.
Cash decreased but cash equivalents increased the same amount as a result of this purchase. Thus, there is no net effect on cash and cash equivalents. Therefore, there is nothing to report in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Correct!

The three-month bill meets the definition of a cash equivalent. Three months is the maximum original maturity under the definition. Cash and cash equivalents are the reporting basis of the Statement of Cash Flows.
B
Incorrect…

Even if this transaction involved a change in cash and cash equivalents, it would not be classified as a financing activity. But the three-month bill meets the definition of cash equivalent. Three months is the maximum original maturity under the definition. Cash and cash equivalents are the reporting basis of the Statement of Cash Flows. Cash decreased but cash equivalents increased the same amount as a result of this purchase.
Thus, there is no net effect on cash and cash equivalents. Therefore, there is nothing to report in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Mend Co. purchased a three-month U.S. Treasury bill. Mend’s policy is to treat all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased as cash equivalents . How should this purchase be reported in Mend’s Statement of Cash Flows?
A. As an outflow from operating activities.
B. As an outflow from investing activities.
C. As an outflow from financing activities.
D. Not reported.

D
Correct!

The reporting basis of the Statement of Cash Flows is cash and cash equivalents. The purchase of a cash equivalent has no effect on the total of cash and cash equivalents. Such purchases increase cash equivalents and decrease cash by the same amount. Thus, the total of cash and cash equivalents is unaffected. This Treasury bill meets the definition of a cash equivalent. The Statement of Cash Flows reports changes in the fund defined as cash and cash equivalents. Thus, the purchase of this Treasury bill is not reported in the Statement of Cash Flows.

Polk Co. acquires a forklift from Quest Co. for $30,000. The terms require Polk to pay $3,000 down and finance the remaining $27,000. On March 1, year 1, Polk pays the $3,000 down and accepted delivery of the forklift. Polk signed a note that requires Polk to pay principal payments of $1,000 per month for 27 months beginning July 1, year 1.

 D.   $30,000

A
Correct!
Only actual cash inflows and outflows are presented on the statement of cash flows. In this case, Polk paid $3,000 in cash as a down payment for the forklift and financed the remainder of the purchase price. Therefore, the only cash outlay as an investing activity on the statement of cash flows is $3,000. The cash outflows associated with the payment on the note would be classified as a financing activity.

On December 31, 20x1, Deal, Inc. failed to accrue the December 20x1 sales salaries that were payable on January 6, 20x2.
What is the effect of the failure to accrue sales salaries on working capital and cash flows from operating activities in Deal’s 20x1 financial statements?

Working capital

Cash flows from operating activities

Overstated No effect
Overstated Overstated
No effect Overstated
No effect No effect

A
Correct!
Failure to accrue salaries at the end of 20x1 understates salaries payable, a current liability. Working capital equals current assets minus current liabilities. With current liabilities understated, working capital is overstated.
The accrued salaries at the end of 20x1 would not have been paid in 20x1, even if they had been accrued correctly. Therefore, 20x1 operating cash flows are not affected by the failure to accrue the salaries.

AICPA.090666.FAR.III Operating Cash Flows - Indirect Method Baker Co. began its operations during the current year. The following is Baker's Balance Sheet at December 31: ``` Baker Co. Balance Sheet Assets Cash $192,000 Accounts receivable 82,000 Total Assets $274,000 Liabilities and stockholders' equity Accounts payable $ 24,000 Common stock 200,000 Retained earnings 50,000 Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $274,000 Baker's net income for the current year was $78,000, and dividends of $28,000 were declared and paid. Common stock was issued for $200,000. What amount should Baker report as cash provided by operating activities in its Statement of Cash Flows for the current year? ``` A. $20,000 B. $50,000 C. $192,000 D. $250,000

A Correct! Cash provided from operating activities is derived as follows: $78,000 net income - $82,000 accounts receivable increase + $24,000 accounts payable increase = $20,000. Net income is the starting point for operating activities under the indirect method. The accounts receivable increase represents sales included in net income but not yet collected. This amount is subtracted because income was increased by an amount exceeding cash collections. The accounts payable increase represents purchases of inventory included in cost of goods sold not yet paid for. This amount is added because income was reduced by an amount exceeding cash payments. No other items are related to operations. B Incorrect... This response includes items which are not operating activities. The correct calculation is $78,000 net income - $82,000 accounts receivable increase + $24,000 accounts payable increase = $20,000 = net operating cash flow.

All four answers reflect information that should be disclosed in the footnotes, but only information about general accounting policies (measurement and recognition) should appear in the footnote referred to in the question. The policy concerning which investments are treated as cash equivalents is an accounting policy. ABD Incorrect... This information, although normally disclosed in the footnotes, does not concern general accounting policies about measurement and recognition. Therefore, it would not appear in the summary of significant accounting policies footnote. The information would appear in a footnote related to a specific account or activity of the firm.

AICPA.061201FAR Notes to Financial Statements Which of the following should be disclosed in a summary of significant accounting policies? A. Basis of profit recognition on long-term construction contracts. B. Future minimum lease payments in the aggregate and for each of the five succeeding fiscal years. C. Depreciation expense. D. Composition of sales by segment.

A Correct! The summary of significant accounting policies footnote presents information that helps assist users in understanding the recognition, measurement, and disclosure decisions made by the firm. GAAP allows many choices. In the long-term construction contracts area, GAAP allows both the completed contract and percentage of completion methods. The result of applying each method significantly affects both the Income Statement and Balance Sheet. A user is much better equipped to evaluate the firm's financial performance and position with the knowledge of the revenue recognition method used by the firm. B Incorrect... Although this information is generally included in the footnotes, it is designed to embellish financial disclosures provided in the statements about leasing. The summary of significant accounting policies footnote provides more general information about methods and other GAAP choices allowed firms.

AICPA.900530FAR-TH-FA Notes to Financial Statements ``` Which of the following facts concerning fixed assets should be included in the summary of significant accounting policies? Depreciation method Composition No Yes Yes Yes Yes No No No ```

B Incorrect... The summary of significant accounting policies requires that the methods of depreciation used by a firm be disclosed. The composition of plant assets must also be disclosed, but not in the summary of significant accounting policies. The composition information typically is disclosed in another footnote.

AICPA.051153FAR-FA Notes to Financial Statements Where in its financial statements should a company disclose information about its concentration of credit risks? A. No disclosure is required. B. The notes to the financial statements. C. Supplementary information to the financial statements. D. Management's report to shareholders.

b Correct! GAAP requires disclosure of all significant concentrations of credit risk from receivables and other financial instruments in the notes. A concentration of credit risk occurs when receivables from different sources reflect common economic risks (for example, a group of receivables from several firms within the same industry).

AICPA.082118FAR-I.C Ratios - Liquidity/Solvency and Operational ``` Redwood Co.'s financial statements had the following information at year end: Cash $ 60,000 Accounts receivable 180,000 Allowance for uncollectible accounts 8,000 Inventory 240,000 Short-term marketable securities 90,000 Prepaid rent 18,000 Current liabilities 400,000 Long-term debt 220,000 What was Redwood's quick ratio? ``` A. 0.81 to 1 B. 0.83 to 1 C. 0.94 to 1 D. 1.46 to 1

a Correct! The quick ratio is the quotient of very liquid current assets to total current liabilities. Inventories and prepaids are not included in the numerator because they are not considered sufficiently liquid. As such, it is a more stringent test of liquidity than the current ratio. In this case, the quick ratio consists of: cash + net AR + marketable securities divided by current liabilities: ($60,000 + $180,000 - $8,000 + $90,000)/$400,000) = .805. The closest answer is 0.81 to 1. B Incorrect... This answer is close but it fails to deduct the allowance for uncollectible accounts. Net accounts receivable (gross AR less the allowance) is the amount to include in the numerator because that is the amount expected to be collected.

Question #2 (AICPA.910538FAR-TH-FA) On December 30, 2004, Solomon Co. had a current ratio greater than 1:1 and a quick ratio less than 1:1. On December 31, 2004, all cash was used to reduce accounts payable. How did these cash payments affect the ratios? Current ratio Quick ratio Decreased Decreased Decreased Increased Increased Decreased

C Correct Cash is both a current and a quick asset (an asset immediately available to pay debts). Accounts payable is a current liability. Thus, the numerator and denominator of both ratios have decreased. The current ratio was greater than 1.0 before the transaction. Therefore, the denominator decreased a greater percentage than the numerator causing the ratio to increase. The quick ratio was less than 1.0 before the transaction. Therefore, the numerator decreased a greater percentage than the denominator causing the ratio to decrease. Increased Increased Incorrect for quick ratio. Cash is both a current and a quick asset (an asset immediately available to pay debts). Accounts payable is a current liability. Thus, the numerator and denominator of both ratios have decreased. The quick ratio was less than 1.0 before the transaction. Therefore, the numerator decreased a greater percentage than the denominator causing the ratio to decrease. . If the WCR exceeds 1.00: i. Equal increases in current assets and liabilities decrease the WCR. WCR = CA 20,000 / CL 10,000 = 2 WCR = (CA 20,000 + 10,000) / (CL 10,000 + 10,000) = 30,000 / 20,000 = 1.5 ii. Equal decreases in current assets and liabilities increase the WCR. WCR = CA 30,000 / CL 20,000 = 1.5 WCR = CA 20,000 / CL 10,000 = 2 d. If the WCR is less than 1.00: i. equal increases in current assets and liabilities increase the WCR. WCR = CA 10,000 / CA 20,000 = .50 WCR = (CA 10,000 + 10,000) / (CA 20,000 + 10,000) = 20,000 / 30,000 = .66 ii. Equal decreases in current assets and liabilities decreases the WCR. WCR = 20,000 / 30,000 = .66 WCR = 10,000 / 20,000 = .50

Question #19 (AICPA.082119FAR-I.C) The following information was taken from Baxter Department Store's financial statements: Inventory on January 1 $ 100,000 Inventory on December 31 300,000 Net sales 2,000,000 Net purchases 700,000 What was Baxter's inventory turnover for the year ending December 31? A. 2.5 B. 3.5 C. 5 D. 10

a correct Inventory turnover is the ratio of cost of goods (CGS) sold to average inventory. First, calculate CGS = beginning inventory $100,000 + purchases $700,000 - ending inventory $300,000 = $500,000. Then, average inventory = (beginning inventory + ending inventory)/2 = ($100,000 + $300,000)/2 = $200,000. Turnover = $500,000/$200,000 = 2.5. b Incorrect This response is the ratio of purchases to average inventory and would be correct if purchases and cost of goods sold (CGS) were the same. However, with inventory increasing, the cost of goods sold is less than purchases. Inventory turnover uses CGS, not purchases, as the numerator. The denominator is average inventory.
