Q

Q signed a lease on July 1, Y1 for equipment having a five-year useful life. the lease does not include any option to purchase the equipment at the four-year lease term, nor does it include a precision for owner transfer. five equal payments of $10,000 per year are required by the terms of the lease, with the first payment due upon signing. Q’s incremental borrowing rate is 8%, but its implicit interest rate is unknown.
・present value of an annuity at 8% for 5 years = 3.993
・present value of the annuity at 8% for 4 years = 3.312

on its Dec 31, Y1 financial statements, Q would display the following amounts in the indicated account under USGAAP:

equipment::
accumulated depreciation
lease payable:

A

equipment: 43,120
accumulated depreciation: 5,390
lease payable: 33,120

因爲第一筆錢在簽約時已經支付,所以現值只需要算4年。
present value =43,120=33,120+10,000
depreciation period =4year

Q

based on the current expected credit loss model, a company records the following journal entry at year-end related to a five-year bond issued by J Corp.

dr: credit loss 23,00
dr: unrealized loss- AFS 9,000
cr: allowance for credit losses of 23,000
cr: valuation allowance 9,000

the security is classified as available-for-sale and has an amortized cost of $250000 and a current fair value of 218,000. based on the journal entry above, the present value of expected future cash flows must be closest to:

A

[227,000]

although the total difference between amortized cost and fair value is 32,000, the credit loss is equal to the difference between amortized cost and the present value of expected cash flows( interest and principal to be received). if the credit loss is recorded at 23,000, the present value must be equal to 250,000-23,000=227,000. the additional 9,000 difference between the present value and fair value is recorded as an unrealized loss in other comprehensive income.

the terms of an option contract purchased bya company are for 1,000 shares of ABC stock at $10 per share and a premium of $2 per share. the company will have a gain if the option is a:
A. call option and ABC is at $8 per share.

Q

on Jan 1, Y1 company X purchases a new steel punch press machine for $350,000. at the date of purchase, the machine had an estimated useful life of five years and an estimated salvage value of $50,000. the company uses straight-line depreciation. On July 1, Y1, the production manager determined that the estimated useful life on the machine will be one-half year less than originally expected. assuming that the company prepared journal; entries on a quarterly basis and that the accounting department was not notified of the change in estimated useful life until Dec 31, what is the journal entry necessary to reflect the correct depreciation for this machine at Dec 31, Y1?

A

dr: depreciation expense 18,750
cr: accumulated depreciation 18,750

首先,原本每季度折舊15000
第二季時改變折舊年限,餘額應該是270,000

因為減少半年壽命,所以整體壽命是4.5年,又因為已經過去半年,所以餘下4年,之後每季度折舊16,875

因為會計部門到12月31日才被告知折舊年限變化,所以第三季度少紀錄了16,875-15,000=1,875
因此第四季度的折舊應該是18750

Q

H began production of a new product. during the first calendar, year, 1,000 units of the product were sold for 1,200 per unit, and each unit had a two-year warranty. based on warranty costs for similar products, H estimates that warranty costs will average $100 per unit, H incurred $12,000 in warranty costs during the first year and $22,000 in warranty costs during the second year. the company uses the expense warranty accrual method. what should be the balance in the estimated liability under warranties account at the end of the first calendar year?

A

[88,000]
H incurred 12,000 of acutual exoense in Y1, which results in a debit to warranty liability for 12,000 and a credit to inventory for 12,000. therefore the balance at year-end totals 88,000

P acquired 40% of S’s voting cs on Jan 2,Y1 for $400,00. the carrying amount of S ‘s net assets at the purchase date totaled 900,000. fair values equaled carrying amounts for all items except equipment, for which fair values exceeded carrying amounts by $100,000. the equipment has a five year life. during Y1, S reported net income of 150,000. what amount of net income from this investment should P report in its Y1 income statement?

A

[52,000]
undervalue equipment=100,000×0.4=40,000/5=8,000

P’s income 150,000×0.4=60,000
less excess FV amortization -8,000
=52,000

因為財產的市值增加,所以之前計算的折舊需要再增加,於是P所得就需要減去少計算了的折舊費。

in Y1, a voluntary health and welfare organization, received a bequest of $200,000 certificate of deposit maturing in Y2. the testator’s only stipulations were that this certificate be held until maturity and that the interest revenue be used to finance salaries for an ongoing preschool program. interest revenue for Y2 was $16,000. when the certificate matured and was redeemed, the board of trustees adopted a formal resolution designating $40,000 of the proceeds for the future purchase of equipment for the preschool program. what amount should the organization disclose in its Y2 year-end financial statements as board-designated net assets(for future expenditures)?
