the reconciling items for the balance per books:
service charges, NSF checks, credit memos (customer collections via wire transfer), interest income, and errors made by the company
bank draft should be included in:
cash and cash equivalents
estimating bad debts on the aging analysis of AR balances focuses on the BS and emphasizes the valuation of assets. It results in:
good matching of revenue and expense
the specific write off method overstates the collectible amount of AR by not allowing for those that become uncollectible. It results in:
poor matching of revenue and expense
Estimating bad debts based on sales emphasizes the income statement and results in:
good matching of revenue and expense
after year end adjustment, the uncollectible accounts expense calc and JE:
beginning balance AFUA + provision for year (uncollectible accounts expense)+ recovery of previous write-offs - uncollectible AR written off = ending balance AFUA before adjustment - estimated uncollectible accounts per aging = difference
JE to reflect difference
provision for uncollectible accounts expense
AFUA
answer: provision + adjustment
discounting annual note after holding for 6 months:
face of note * interest rate on note = maturity value of note - (maturity value of note * discount by bank (new interest rate * 1/2) ) = proceeds from bank
calculation of bad debt in AFUA account:
Beginning AFUA + bad debt expense - actual bad debt writeoff = ending AFUA
Factoring receivables without recourse is a sales transaction that:
transfers the risk of uncollectible accounts to the buyer
Factoring receivables with recourse is a sales transaction that:
leaves the risk of uncollectible accounts with the seller
Assigning receivables is the process of:
obtaining a loan by transferring to the lender the debtor’s right to cash collected on receivables
Pledging receivables is the process of:
obtaining a loan using the receivables as collateral
during an accounting period using the direct writeoff method, cash collections from customers would equal sales adjusted by:
deducting AR written off and deducting the increase in AR balance
under the direct write off method, how is net income and working capital affected?
both decreased
Bad debt expense
AR
under allowance method, how is net income and working capital affected?
neither affected (net AR remains the same)
AFUA
AR
a collection of a previously written-off account receivable would ____ the allowance account. JE?
increase
Cash
AFUA
approach 1 net proceeds at discount:
face of note * interest rate on note = maturity value of note - (maturity value of note * discount by bank for remaining months = proceeds from bank
approach 2 net interest revenue (expense)
interest revenue on note - interest expense from bank = net interest income (expense)
calculate total interest revenue on 5 year note with present value of ordinary annuity:
note / PVOA (interest rate, 5 periods) = annual payments * number of payments (5) = total payments - (discounted note payments (annual payment * (PVOA(yield rate, 5 periods))) = total interest over 5 years
under the aging method of calculating uncollectible accounts, the balance in the allowance account is determined by:
multiplying receivables by the uncollectible percentage
under the percentage of receivables method the ending balance in the allowance account is equal to:
total estimated uncollectible amount
Substance over form:
choice relates to reliability, which is a primary quality of decision usefulness. info must be valid, and economic substance is more important than legal form
the JE for a write off of a specific account receivable under the allowance method is:
AFUA
AR
(no effect on total assets)
the lower of cost or market method should be applied to inventory in:
interim FS
________ declines in inventory market value should be reflected in interim FS in the period incurred
Permanent never temporary
Agricultural products and precious metals may be stated at above cost by using net selling price less cost of disposal because:
- there is a ready market for such items
2. there is unit interchangeability
for Agricultural products and precious metals revenue is recognized at:
time of production (not time of sale)
FOB destination means that tile passes when received by the buyer, and that packaging, shipping, and handling are costs of:
the seller
FOB shipping point means that title passes when the goods leave the seller’s location and that shipping is a cost of:
the buyer
Under GAAP, LIFO most closely approximates the current:
COGS
FIFO most closely approximates the current:
ending inventory
the moving average method assumes the company has perpetual records. A new weighted average cost is computed after:
each purchase and issues are priced at the latest weighted average cost
During periods of rising prices, when the FIFO inventory method is used, a perpetual inventory system results in an ending inventory cost that is:
the same as in a periodic inventory system
Companies generally use a ______ flow of goods to prevent keeping old inventory on hand
FIFO
dollar value LIFO most likely gives the:
lowest ending inventory when product lines are subject to specific price increases
Dollar value LIFO calculation:
end of year cost / base year cost = annual cost index * annual layers = dollar value LIFO
consignor must include consigned goods in his own inventory, at his cost plus:
warehousing costs of consignor before goods are transferred to consignee plus shipping costs to consignee
lower of cost or market rule:
step 1: compare floor with ceiling and replacement cost (use middle amount)
step 2: compare middle amount with cost. use lower of the two
ceiling: selling price
floor: net selling price = selling price - cost of disposal
a disadvantage of the periodic inventory system is that the COGS amount used for financial reporting purposes includes both:
the cost of inventory sold and inventory shortages
(at year end perpetual records can be compared to actual inventory per physical count and inventory shortages can be identified)
average pricing method is another phase for:
weighted average pricing (total cost / total units)
when the current market value of the inventory is less than the fixed price in a purchase commitment, the loss must be recognized at the time of:
the decline in price, a liability must be recognized on the BS and a description of the losses must be described in the footnotes
net realizable value is:
selling price - costs to complete and sell
lower cost or market celing
lower cost or market floor:
Net realizable value - profit margin
freight in is a cost of inventory and expensed when:
inventory is sold
IFRS requires the use of __________ to value inventory
lower of cost or net realizable value
a loss is only recorded under purchase commitment in which the purchaser is:
obligated to purchase a fixed number of units
Under _____, reverasals of inventory write-downs are prohibited.
GAAP
Under ____, reversals of an inventory write-down for subsequent recoveries of inventory value
IFRS
