Business & Finance — JMV1 Intermediate Accounting I Units 5 7 Exam Version 1
Answer: B
The fair value of the grant payments according to the FASB is $115,748.
The fair value of the grant payments, calculated as the present value of an annuity due, is $115,748, which accounts for the fact that the payments are received at the beginning of each period.
A) $130,000
This option is incorrect as it does not reflect the calculated present value of the grant payments. The figures provided indicate a present value significantly lower than $130,000, which is not supported by the annuity calculations given.
B) $115,748
This option is correct as it represents the present value of the annuity due, calculated using the appropriate factor for receiving payments at the beginning of each year. This amount accurately reflects the fair value of the grant payments according to FASB standards.
C) $125,000
This choice is incorrect since it is not derived from the calculations provided. The value of $125,000 does not correspond to either the present value of an ordinary annuity or an annuity due, making it an inaccurate representation of the grant's fair value.
D) $111,295
While this option represents the present value of an ordinary annuity, it is not the correct answer in the context of the grant payments being received at the beginning of each year. Therefore, it fails to meet the criteria set by the FASB for fair value assessment.
Conclusion
The correct answer, $115,748, accurately reflects the present value of the grant payments as an annuity due. All other options fail to align with the calculations and principles set forth by the FASB, either by overestimating or underestimating the fair value based on the timing of the payments.
2. What is the average collection period for Year 2, rounded to the nearest 1 decimal place?
Answer: B
The average collection period for Year 2 is 27.1 days.
The average collection period for Year 2 is calculated to be 27.1 days, indicating the average number of days it takes to collect receivables during that year.
A) 19.1
Option A is incorrect because a figure of 19.1 days would suggest a significantly shorter collection period, which does not align with the calculations or the data provided for Year 2.
B) 27.1
Option B is correct as it accurately reflects the average collection period for Year 2, demonstrating that the company took an average of 27.1 days to collect its accounts receivable.
C) 20.8
Option C is incorrect because an average collection period of 20.8 days does not match the calculated figure for Year 2, indicating a miscalculation or misunderstanding of the data.
D) 24.9
Option D is also incorrect as it suggests a collection period that is shorter than the correct 27.1 days, thus failing to accurately represent the average time taken to collect receivables in Year 2.
Conclusion
In summary, the average collection period for Year 2 is definitively 27.1 days, as supported by the relevant calculations. All other options fail to match this figure, highlighting inaccuracies in their representations of the average collection period.
Answer: B
Understatement of inventory and accounts payable
Failing to record the purchase of goods and not counting them in ending inventory will lead to an understatement of both inventory and accounts payable on the company's balance sheet.
A) Overstatement of inventory and accounts payable
This option is incorrect as the omission of recording purchased goods results in an understatement, not an overstatement, of inventory. Additionally, accounts payable would also be understated rather than overstated because the purchase has not been recorded.
B) Understatement of inventory and accounts payable
This option is correct because when purchases are not recorded, the total inventory reported on the balance sheet will be lower than it should be, leading to an understatement of inventory. Likewise, since the corresponding liability (accounts payable) is not recorded, it will also be understated.
C) Overstatement of inventory and understatement of accounts payable
This option is incorrect because the failure to record the purchase would not lead to an overstatement of inventory; instead, it results in an understatement. Additionally, accounts payable would be understated as the liabilities related to the unrecorded purchases are not reflected.
D) Understatement of inventory and overstatement of accounts payable
This option is incorrect since the omission of recording purchases will not cause an overstatement of accounts payable. Instead, both inventory and accounts payable will be understated because the liability for the unrecorded purchase is absent.
Conclusion
The correct answer, B, highlights the dual impact of failing to record purchases on the financial statements. This omission leads to an understatement of both inventory and accounts payable, reflecting the company's financial position inaccurately. All other options incorrectly describe the effects of the omission, confirming that B is the only accurate assessment of the situation.
Answer: A
The company should expect to receive $91,700 in cash.
The present value of the receivables, calculated at a 9% discount rate, results in a cash amount of $91,700. This reflects the discounted value of the accounts receivable due to the interest charged by the factor.
A) $91,700
This option is correct because it accurately represents the present value of the factored accounts receivable after applying the 9% annual interest discount. The calculation of $100,000 multiplied by the discount factor of 0.917 gives $91,700, which is the amount the company will receive in cash.
B) $108,300
Option B is incorrect as it does not correspond to any logical calculation in the context of factoring receivables. The amount $108,300 exceeds the original value of the receivables and does not account for the discount applied, thus making it an unrealistic cash expectation.
C) $100,000
This option is also incorrect. It represents the full value of the accounts receivable without taking into account the discount for the one-year collection period. The company will not receive the full $100,000 since the factor discounts it to determine the present value.
D) $91,000
Option D is incorrect because it underestimates the present value of the receivables. The proper calculation yields $91,700, and thus $91,000 does not represent the accurate cash amount the company should expect to receive.
Conclusion
The correct answer is $91,700, as it precisely reflects the present value after applying the appropriate discount rate of 9% on the accounts receivable. All other options fail to accurately represent the cash amount the company can expect, either by not accounting for the discount or miscalculating the present value.
Answer: D
The Inventory account should be credited for $5,000 to record the adjustment.
To reflect the discrepancy between the recorded inventory balance and the actual physical inventory, the Inventory account needs to be adjusted downwards by $5,000. This adjustment is necessary to ensure that the financial statements accurately represent the company's assets.
A) Purchases
Crediting Purchases would be incorrect in this scenario as the adjustment pertains to the valuation of inventory on hand rather than recording additional purchases made during the year. The Purchases account tracks the cost of items bought for resale, which is not the issue at hand.
B) Accounts payable
Adjusting the Accounts Payable account would not be appropriate since this account reflects amounts owed to suppliers, not the value of inventory on hand. The discrepancy does not involve any liabilities but rather the valuation of existing assets.
C) Cost of goods sold
While Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) is related to inventory transactions, it is not the account that should be credited in this case. The adjustment pertains directly to the Inventory account, where the overstatement was recorded, rather than adjusting the expense recognized during the period.
D) Inventory
Crediting the Inventory account is the correct action to take in this situation. The physical count revealed that inventory was overvalued by $5,000, necessitating a decrease in the Inventory account to align it with the actual goods on hand.
Conclusion
Crediting the Inventory account by $5,000 accurately corrects the overstatement in the balance, ensuring that the financial records reflect the true value of the assets. Other options fail to address the issue of inventory valuation directly, making Option D the necessary adjustment to maintain accurate financial reporting.
Answer: A
Debit bad debt expense for $29,800; credit allowance for doubtful accounts for $29,800
To record the estimate of uncollectible accounts using the allowance method, the journal entry should debit bad debt expense and credit allowance for doubtful accounts. The calculated amount based on the aging of accounts receivable is $29,800.
A) Debit bad debt expense for $29,800; credit allowance for doubtful accounts for $29,800
This option is correct because it accurately reflects the necessary journal entry to account for the estimated uncollectible accounts. Given the calculations, $50,000 of the accounts receivable are overdue by 90 days with an estimated 50% uncollectible, equating to $25,000, and the remaining $50,000 under 30 days with an estimated 10% uncollectible amounts to $5,000. Thus, the total estimated uncollectible amount is $30,000. After factoring in the existing credit balance of $200, the adjustment needed is $29,800.
B) Debit bad debt expense for $29,800; credit accounts receivable for $29,800
This option is incorrect because it suggests crediting accounts receivable instead of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The allowance method specifically requires crediting the allowance account to reflect the estimated uncollectibles rather than reducing accounts receivable directly.
C) Debit bad debt expense for $30,200; credit allowance for doubtful accounts for $30,200
This option is incorrect as it miscalculates the amount needed for the adjustment. The total estimated uncollectible accounts should be $30,000, and after considering the existing credit balance of $200, the net adjustment should be $29,800, not $30,200.
D) Debit bad debt expense for $30,200; credit accounts receivable for $30,200
This option is incorrect because it also miscalculates the amount and incorrectly credits accounts receivable instead of the allowance for doubtful accounts. The correct entry should reflect an adjustment of $29,800 to the allowance account.
Conclusion
The correct choice, option A, properly accounts for the estimated uncollectible accounts by debiting bad debt expense and crediting the allowance for doubtful accounts with the appropriate adjustment of $29,800. All other options fail to represent the proper accounting treatment under the allowance method, either by miscalculating the necessary adjustment or by incorrectly crediting accounts receivable.
Answer: C
Increase in cash and increase in allowance for doubtful accounts
When a previously written-off account is recovered under the allowance method, cash is increased, and the allowance for doubtful accounts is also increased to reflect the recovery.
A) Increase in cash and increase in retained earnings
This option is incorrect because while cash does increase upon recovery, the retained earnings are not directly affected by the recovery of an account written off as uncollectible. The transaction primarily impacts the allowance account and not retained earnings.
B) Increase in cash and decrease in bad debt expense
This option is incorrect as there is no decrease in bad debt expense when a previously written-off account is collected. The recovery affects cash and the allowance for doubtful accounts but does not change the bad debt expense recognized in prior periods.
C) Increase in cash and increase in allowance for doubtful accounts
This option is correct because when a previously uncollectible account is recovered, cash is received, and the allowance for doubtful accounts is increased to reflect the fact that the account has been reinstated. This aligns with the accounting principles associated with the allowance method.
D) Increase in cash and decrease in loss from bad debt
This option is incorrect because recovering a previously written-off account does not decrease the loss from bad debt. The loss was already recognized when the account was initially written off, so this recovery does not retroactively change that loss.
Conclusion
Option C is definitively correct as it accurately describes the accounting treatment for the recovery of a previously written-off account under the allowance method. All other options either misrepresent the effects on financial statements or fail to recognize the proper accounting entries involved in such a recovery.
8. Which inventory issue must be disclosed in the notes to financial statements?
Answer: B
Transactions with related parties must be disclosed in the notes to financial statements.
Disclosures regarding transactions with related parties are essential for providing transparency and ensuring that users of financial statements understand any potential conflicts of interest or unusual transactions.
A) Price changes for customers
While price changes for customers may impact future revenues, they are not typically required to be disclosed in the notes to financial statements. This information is generally considered operational rather than a direct financial reporting issue.
B) Transactions with related parties
This option is correct as it is a requirement under accounting standards to disclose transactions with related parties. Such disclosures help users identify relationships that may influence the financial position and results of operations, thus promoting transparency and trust in the financial statements.
C) Average costs of inventory
The average cost of inventory is a method used for valuing inventory on the balance sheet, but it does not require separate disclosure in the notes to financial statements. It is part of the accounting policy rather than a specific transaction or issue that needs to be disclosed.
D) Suppliers' net assets
Disclosing suppliers' net assets is not a requirement under standard financial reporting practices. While it may be relevant in specific contexts, it does not fit the criteria for disclosure in the notes of financial statements regarding inventory issues.
Conclusion
Transactions with related parties represent a significant area of focus for financial statement users, as they can impact the reliability of financial information. The other options, while potentially relevant to business operations, do not carry the same level of disclosure requirement under accounting standards. Thus, Option B stands out as the correct answer as it adheres to the principles of transparency and accountability in financial reporting.
Answer: C
$42,000
To determine the final inventory value for the company, we need to consider only the items that are owned and available for sale. This includes owned inventory, goods on consignment, and goods purchased and in transit, while excluding goods sold and in transit and goods returned.
A) $85,000
Option A is incorrect because it mistakenly includes all values without considering the exclusions. While it sums the owned inventory ($20,000), goods on consignment ($50,000), and goods purchased in transit ($10,000), it does not account for the goods sold and in transit ($6,000) that should not be included in the final inventory value.
B) $35,000
Option B is incorrect as it also fails to account for all applicable inventory items. It does not include the goods on consignment ($50,000) or the goods purchased in transit ($10,000), leading to an underestimation of the inventory value.
C) $42,000
Option C is correct because it accurately calculates the final inventory value by including the owned inventory ($20,000), goods on consignment ($50,000), and goods purchased in transit ($10,000), while excluding the goods sold and in transit ($6,000) and goods returned from customers ($7,000). This results in the correct total of $42,000.
D) $20,000
Option D is incorrect as it only considers the owned inventory ($20,000) and ignores the other significant inventory components such as goods on consignment and goods purchased in transit. Therefore, it significantly undervalues the final inventory.
Conclusion
The final inventory value of $42,000 is derived from the comprehensive inclusion of owned inventory, goods on consignment, and goods in transit, while appropriately excluding items sold and in transit. All other options fail to account for the necessary components of inventory, leading to incorrect total valuations.
Answer: D
Debit bad debt expense for $20,000; credit allowance for doubtful accounts for $20,000
To appropriately adjust for estimated uncollectible accounts, the company needs to recognize that 10% of $300,000 in accounts receivable amounts to $30,000. However, since there is already a $10,000 credit balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts, only an additional $20,000 needs to be recorded as the adjustment.
A) Debit allowance for doubtful accounts for $20,000; credit bad debt expense for $20,000
This option incorrectly debits the allowance for doubtful accounts rather than recognizing the additional expense necessary to adjust the allowance. The adjustment should increase the allowance through a credit to reflect the estimated uncollectible amount.
B) Debit bad debt expense for $30,000; credit allowance for doubtful accounts for $30,000
This choice overestimates the necessary adjustment. While the total estimated uncollectible amount is $30,000, the company only needs to record an additional $20,000 adjustment because of the existing $10,000 balance in the allowance for doubtful accounts.
C) Debit allowance for doubtful accounts for $30,000; credit bad debt expense for $30,000
This option is incorrect as it suggests debiting the allowance account, which would decrease it rather than adjusting it to the required balance. The correct approach is to increase the allowance, thereby crediting it.
D) Debit bad debt expense for $20,000; credit allowance for doubtful accounts for $20,000
This option accurately reflects the required adjustment. By debiting bad debt expense for $20,000, the company acknowledges the expense incurred during the period, while the credit to the allowance for doubtful accounts appropriately increases it to the estimated total of $30,000.
Conclusion
The correct entry appropriately adjusts the allowance for doubtful accounts to reflect the estimated uncollectible amount while considering the existing balance. All other options fail either by miscalculating the adjustment amount or incorrectly adjusting the allowance account itself. Thus, option D is the only choice that accurately meets the accounting requirement for this adjustment.
