Question 22

Bertram company had a balance of $100,000 in retained earnings at the beginning of the year and $125,000 at the end of the year. Net income for this time period was $40,000. Bertram’s statement of financial position indicated that dividends payable had decreased by 5,000 throughout the year, despite the fact that both cash dividends and a stock dividend were declared. The amount of the stock dividend was 8,000. When preparing its statement of cash flows for the year, Bertram should show cash paid for dividends as

Answer 22

$12,000

First, we need to find how much cash dividends were declared for the year, then we can find how much cash dividends were actually paid during the year.

The retained earnings account began the year with a balance of $100,000 and ended the year with a balance of $125,000. Net income for the year increased retained earning by $40,000 to $140,000.

The stock dividend in the amount of $8,000 was debited to retained earnings, reducing it to $132,000.

The only other transactions that would have affected retained earnings would have been the declaration of cash dividends, which reduce retained earnings. Thus, dividends declared must have been $132,000-125,000 (ending balance).

The question tells us that dividends payable decreased by $5,000 during the year. That means that $5,000 in dividends declared during the previous year were paid during the current year and that the full $7,000 of dividends declared during the current year were also paid during the current year. so 7,000+5,000 = 12,000

b. Net income will not be impacted in the future by unrealized gains/losses

Unrealized gains/losses on debt securities classified as available for sale securities are recognized in comprehensive income, whereas they are not recognized in either net income or comprehensive income if the debt security is classified as held to maturity security. Therefore in this case the recognition of unrealized gains/losses in other comprehensive income will discontinue, which means the balance sheet will no longer be impacted as well.

Question 66

Reed Co’s current year statement of cash flows reported cash provided from operating activities of $400,000. For the year, depreciation of equipment was $190,000, good will is impaired by $5,000, and dividends paid on common stock were $100,000. In Reed’s current year statement of cash flows, what amount was reported as net income?

Answer 66

$205,000.00

Net cash provided by operating activities is adjusted to remove the effects of depreciation expense and goodwill impairment expense.

• Net Income+Depreciation+Impairment = Cashflow from operating activities
• Net Income = Cashflow from Operating Activities - Depreciation - Impairment

Net Income = 400,000 - 190,000 - 5,000

• Dividends paid on common stock are not reported in operating activities

Question 67

In the current year, Bal Corp. declared a $25,000 cash dividend on May 8 to stockholders of record on May 23 payable on June 3. As a result of this cash dividend, working capital

A. Was not affected
B. Decreased on June 3
C. Decreased on May 23
D. Decreased on May 8

Answer 67

D. Decreased on May 8

On the declaration date, May 8, the liability for dividends payable is recorded by a debit to Retained Earnings and a credit to Cash Dividends Payable. Since the declaration of the cash dividend increases current liabilities without affecting current assets, working capital is decreased on this date.

On May 23, the date of record, which stockholders will receive the cash dividend is determined. Assuming that the common shares outstanding did not change between the date of declaration and the date of record, no journal entry is made on the date of record and, thus, working capital is not affected on this date.

On the payment date, June 3, the cash dividend is paid and is recorded by a debit to Cash Dividends Payable and a credit to Cash. Since current assets and current liabilities decrease by the same amount, working capital is not affected on this date.

Question 68

Which of the following items would best enable Driver Co. to determine whether the fair value of its investment in Farve Corp. is properly stated in the balance sheet?

A. discounted cash flow of Farve’s operations.
b. Quoted market prices available from a business broker for a similar asset
C. Quoted market prices on a stock exchange for an identical asset
D. Historical performance and return on Driver’s investment in Farve

Answer 68

C. Quoted market prices on a stock exchange for an identical asset

Fair value is a market based (not an entity-based) measurement. Fair value is the amount at which an asset (liability) could be bought (incurred) or sold (settled) in a current transaction between willing parties other than in a forced or liquidation sale.

Generally, quoted market prices, if available, are the are the best evidence of fair value. Quoted market prices on a stock exchange for an identical asset are Level 1 inputs to valuation (highest priority) and would be better than quoted market prices available from a business broker for a similar asset (Level 2 inputs). If quoted market prices are unavailable, the estimated of fair value should be based on the best information available in the circumstances.

Question 69

Which of the following is a level three input to valuation techniques used to measure fair value of an asset?

A. Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets
B. Quoted prices for similar assets in active markets
C. Unobservable inputs for the asset
D. Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset

Answer 69

C. Unobservable inputs for the asset

Level 1: the preferred inputs to valuation efforts are current quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

Level 2: this is a valuation based on market observables. The second level arises when assets and liabilities are similar to, but not the same as, those traded in active market. In this case, the reporting company makes some assumptions about what the fair value of the reported items could be in a market.

Level 3: the FASB describes Level 3 inputs as unobservable. If inputs from levels 1 and 2 are not available, FASB acknowledges that fair value measurements could be based on unobservable inputs. Level 3 allows for situations in which there is little if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

Unobservable inputs for an asset is a level 3 input to valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of an asset.

Question 70

During the year, Bay Co. constructed machinery for its own use and for sale to customers. Bank loans financed these assets both during construction and after construction was complete. How much of the interest incurred should be reported as interest expense in the year end income statement?

• all interest incurred
• Interest incurred after completion

Interest incurred for machinery for own use:
Interest incurred for machinery held for sale:

Answer 70

Interest incurred for machinery for own use:
- interest incurred after completion

Interest incurred for machinery held for sale:
- all interest incurred

Interest cost during construction is to be capitalized on assets constructed for an enterprise’s own use, or assets intended for sale or lease that are constructed as discrete projects.

However, interest cost shall not be capitalized for inventories that are routinely manufactured or otherwise produced in large quantities on a repetitive basis. Once the constructed assets are completed, all interest should be expensed as incurred.

In the question at hand, it is not clear, but it is assumed that the machinery constructed for sale is routinely manufactured in large quantities on a repetitive basis. Therefore, the interest during construction should be capitalized only for the equipment constructed for Bay’s own use. The interest incurred during construction of the inventory items should be expensed. The interest incurred after completion should be expensed on both groups of equipment.

Question 73

In its current year income statement, Kilm Co. reported cost of goods sold of $450,000. Changes occurred in several balance sheet accounts as follows:

• Inventory: $160,000 decrease
• Accounts payable—-suppliers: 40,000 decrease

What amount should Kilm report as cash paid to suppliers in its current year cash flow statement, prepared under the direct method?

Answer 73

$330,000

Step 1: calculate purchases
COGS = opening inventory + purchases - ending inventory
Purchases = closing inventory + cost of goods sold - opening inventory

Opening inventory: $160,000
Cost of goods sold: $450,000

Purchases = 450,000 - 160,000 = 290,000

Step 2: calculate payments to suppliers
Payments = opening payables + purchases - closing payables

Opening payable: $40,000
Purchases = $290,000
Closing Accounts Payable=$0

Question 74

Which method of recording uncollectible accounts expense is consistent with accrual accounting?

• allowance
• direct write off

Answer 74

Allowance

The allowance method of recording uncollectible account expense matches uncollectible account expense with the revenues generated by the credit sales in the same period.

Since the write off of an account receivable often occurs in a period after the revenues were generated, the direct write-off method of recording uncollectible account expense does not necessarily match uncollectible account expense with the revenues generated by credit sales in the same period.

Question 80

Samm Corp. purchased a plot of land for $100,000. The cost to raze a building on the property amounted to $50,000 and Samm received $10,000 from the sale of scrap materials. Samm built a new plant on the site at a total cost of $800,000 including excavation costs of $30,000. What amount should Samm capitalize in its land account?

Answer 80

$140,000

Land must be recorded at its acquisition cost. Generally, acquisition cost is defined as the cash price, or its equivalent, plus all other costs reasonably necessary to make it ready for its intended use. Such additional cost include demolition of an old building, less any scrap proceeds received.

Purchase price of land: $100,000
+ Add: cost to raze old building: $50,000

Question 81

During periods of rising prices, when the FIFO inventory method is used, a perpetual inventory system results in an ending inventory cost that is

A. The same as in a periodic inventory system
B. Higher than in a periodic inventory system
C. Lower than in a periodic inventory system
D. Higher or lower than in a periodic inventory system, depending on whether physical quantities have increase or decreased

Answer 81

A. The same as in a periodic inventory system

In all cases where FIFO is used, the inventory and cost of goods sold would be the same at the end of a period whether a perpetual or a periodic system is used. This is true because the same cost will always be first in and, therefore, first out, whether cost of goods sold is computed as cost of goods sold throughout the accounting period (the perpetual system) or as a residual at the end of the accounting period (the periodic system). This is true regardless of whether inventory prices rose or fell during the period.

Question 82

When a full set of general-purpose financial statement is presented, comprehensive income and its components should

a. appear as a part of discontinued operations
b. be reported net of related income tax effect, in total and individually
c. appear in a supplemental schedule in the notes to the financial statements
d. be displayed in a financial statement that has the same prominence as other financial statements

Answer 82

d. be displayed in a financial statement that has the same prominence as other financial statements

Comprehensive income and all items that are required to be recognized as components of comprehensive income should be reported in a financial statement that is displayed with the same prominence as other financial statements.

Discontinued operations are a component of the income statement, reported after income from continuing operations and before net income. If comprehensive income is reported in the same statement as net income, other comprehensive income and comprehensive income are reported after net income. An entity may display components of OCI in either net-of-tax basis or summary net-of-tax basis.

Comprehensive income must be shown on the face of one of the statements, not just in the notes to the financial statements.

Question 85

On January 1, Brecon Co. installed cabinets to display products in customers’ stores. Brecon expects to use these cabinets for five years. Brecon’s year-end-multi-step income statement should include:

a. One-fifth of the cabinet costs in cost of goods sold
b. One-fifth of the cabinet costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses
c. All of the cabinet costs in cost of goods sold
d. All of the cabinet costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Answer 85

b. One-fifth of the cabinet costs in selling, general, and administrative expenses

Brecon Co. will use the installed cabinets to display its merchandise in customers’ store, which are fixed assets that would be used to generate day to day sales/revenue. The cost of installing the cabinets will be capitalized and depreciated over a period of 5 years. Depreciation is calculated on a straight line basis for 5 years which means 1/5 of the cost per year will be charged to the income statement. The cabinets are used to display product for sale, depreciation will reported under selling expense.

Question 87

Beck Co.’s inventory of trees is as follows:
Beginning Inventory: 10 trees at $50
March 4: purchased 6 trees at $55
March 12: sold 8 trees at $100
March 20: purchased 9 trees at $60
March 27: sold 7 trees at $105
March 30: purchased 4 trees at $65

What was Beck’s cost of goods sold using the last in, first out (LIFO) perpetual method?

Answer 87

$850

• 7 trees sold on 3/27 are assumed to come entirely from the 3/20’s purchase at $60/ea
• 6 of the 8 trees sold on 3/12 are assumed to come from 3/4 purchase at $55/ea and balance, 2 trees will come from beginning inventory at $50/ea
  *COGS using LIFO is [(7 x $60) + (6 x $55) + (2 x $50)] = $850
