New Study Plan Flashcard Deck 2
Two methods that help variable consideration must be estimated by applying consistently throughout the contract period?
Expected value
most likely amount
When there is an error net that has error for the prior period how is that corrected?
it needs to be adjusted for the prior period adjustments
When there is a change in accounting principle for comparative financial statements how is that corrected?
The beginning of the inventory and retained earnings must be adjusted bc it needs the change from LIFO to FIFO
How to calc the accumulated depreciation for a purchase machine?
Step 1 - Calc the depreciation expense by finding the original amount of the machine and divide it by the useful life of the machine
Machine is 528,000 / 8 years useful life = 66,000 depreciation expense
Step 2 - Next step is to calc the accumulated depreciation so first we need use the depreciation expense for the prior step which was depreciation expense multiply by the estimated useful life of 3 years
Depreciation expense of 66,000 x 3 years = 198,000
Step 3 - Next step we need to calc the purchase amount of the machine and subtract the accumulated depreciation
Carrying amount - Purchase amount - accumulated depreciation
Purchase amount - 528,000 - accumulated depreciation of 198,000 from the prior step
528,000 - 198,000 = carrying amount 330,000
Step 4 - Carrying amount - the salvage value which is given and divide it by the estimated useful life 3 years because we calc it for 4 years total
carrying amount of 330,000 - 48,000 / 3 years = 94,000 deprecaition
Step 4 - subtract the carrying amount of 330,000 - 94,000 = 198,000 accumulated depreciation for year 4
In order to adjust beginning retained earnings what is the process of doing that?
To adjust retained earnings we need to adjust prior period adjustments. If there is a prepayment we would need to allocate that to three years period
When a adjustment needed beginning of retained earnings and there is an decrease in sales what adjustment is required?
The adjustment would be nothing bc since there was an decrease in sales that would make the adjustment a future or change in estimate usually any change made for retained earnings are retroactively
When there is a change from cash basis of accounting to accrual basis of accounting how is that corrected?
As a prior period adjustment by adjusting the beginning balance of retained earnings
how to adjust the expense for the machine which is adjusted prior period adjustments?
Step 1 - To adjust the machine for prior period we need to adjust the machine using the straight line method which is mentioned on the problem
Step 2 - and next we need to adjust the results after tax understatement of net income
Step 3 - We use the annual depreciation and divide it by 3 which would be the estimated life and multiply it by the tax rate
Step 4 - Understated of net income subtracting the after tax overstatement of net income
When there are any changes any depreciation problem from the method being used or changes to sales how is the retained earnings adjusted per year?
They are not adjusted since there were changes made so that would be a change in prospective not retrospective
A change in standard assurance type warranty is what kind of change in adjustment?
change in estimate for prospectively
When a change in accounting principle that is inseparable from the effect of a change in accounting estimate it would
it can only be accounted on the change in estimate only
Calc, the revenue and interest income from contract?
To calc the interest income
Start off with the cash selling price 250,000 x implicit interest rate 10% = 25,000
Next we need to subtract annual payment 144,049 - 25,000 1st installment payment
= 119,049
250,000 - 119,049 = 130,951
Final step is 130,951 x 10% = 13,095 interest income
In order to measure the progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation must be measured
it’s the input method
What are some conditions where there are no financial statement adjustments required?
Subsequent events such as fire client suffers a fire after balance sheet
advise management to disclose the event to the financial statements so the events don’t seem misleading on the notes
