Marlow Company purchased a point of sale system on January 1 for $5,600. This system has a useful life of 4 years and a salvage value of $500. What would be the depreciation expense for the second year of its useful life using the double-declining-balance method?a. $1,275.b. $1,336.c. $2,550.d. $2,800.e. $1,400.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

Annual depreciation= $1,275

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Purchase price= $5,600

Useful life= 4 years

Salvage value= $500

To calculate the annual depreciation, we need to use the following formula each year:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(book value)/estimated life (years)]

Year 1:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(5,600 - 500) / 4]

Annual depreciation= $2,550

Year 2:

Annual depreciation= 2*[(5,100 - 2,550) / 4]

Annual depreciation= $1,275

Answer 2
Answer:

Final answer:

The second year's depreciation expense using the double-declining balance method for the point of sale system purchased by Marlow Company would be $1,400.

Explanation:

The double declining balance method is a type of accelerated depreciation accounting method. In the first year, Marlow Company will depreciate the asset at a rate of 2/4 (50%) of the purchase price (i.e., $5,600), which totals $2,800. However, the asset has a salvage value of $500, which must be considered.

In the second year, the depreciation expense will be determined using the remaining book value of the asset after the first year of depreciation (i.e., $5,600 - $2,800 = $2,800) and again applying the rate of 50%. The second year's depreciation will therefore be 50% * $2,800 = $1,400.

So the correct option is e. $1,400.

Determining Financial Statement Effects of Write-Offs and Bad Debt Expense Using the Allowance MethodUsing the following categories, indicate the effects of the following transactions. Indicate the accounts affected and the amounts. (Enter any decreases to Assets, Liabilities, or Stockholders Equity with a minus sign.)

During the period, customer balances are written off in the amount of $10,000.
At the end of the period, bad debt expense is estimated to be $8,000.

Answers

Answer: Please see the analysis below

Explanation: The following are the financial statement effects

                                  Assets Liabilities Stockholders Equity Income Expense

Write-off of $10,000     -           -                   Nil                           Nil         Nil

Bad debt of $8,000     -           +                   -                                -             +

  • Write-off of customer balances of $10,000 would lead to reduction in assets and also reduction in liabilities (since the provision for doubtful accounts reports to liabilities but mapped to the accounts receivable to show the net amount). Here, we have assumed that there is an existing allowance for doubtful accounts that has $10,000 buffer or more. If the write-off was not initially provided for, it would hit expense by debiting bad debt expense and crediting the accounts receivable. Its effects are therefore decrease in asset, decrease in liabilities.
  • Bad debt expense of $8,000 affects the expense and the liabilities/assets. Journal entries to record the bad debt expense is Debit Bad debt expense $8,000; Credit Allowance for doubtful accounts $8,000. So, it affects the expense, liabilities and ultimately the assets (allowance for doubtful accounts is a contra to the accounts receivable). Its effects are increase in expense, increase in liabilities, decrease in stockholders equity, decrease in income and decrease in assets

Answer:

Assets =Liabilities +  Stockholders Equity

-8000=                                           - 8000

Explanation:

Allowance for Doubtful  Debts $10,000

Bad debt expense $8,000

Assets =Liabilities +  Stockholders Equity

-8000=                                           - 8000

The write off does not affect the realizable value of accounts receivable. Neither total assets nor net income is affected by the write off a specific account.Instead both assets and net income are affected in the period when bad debts expense is predicted and recorded with an adjusting entry.

Your tax client Chen asks whether it is likely that her Form 1040 will be audited this year. You suspect that Chen might modify the information she reports on her return based on your answer. Address Chen's question, and provide her with a justification to comply fully with the tax law's reporting requirements.About 1% of (all corporate tax returns/ all individual tax returns/ all tax returns) are audited in a given tax year. However, certain types of both taxpayers and income are subject to much higher probabilities of audit. The ethical tax professional (does/ does not) play the "audit lottery" and lower his or her reporting standards because of a perception that such actions "will not be caught." In addition, the tax professional (should/ should not) allow clients to do so.

Answers

Answer:

Fewer than 1% of all individual tax returns are audited in a given tax year. However, certain types of both taxpayers and income—including, for instance, high-income individuals, cash- oriented businesses, real estate transactions, and estate- and gift-taxable transfers—are subject to much higher probabilities of audit. The ethical tax professional does not "play the audit lottery" and lower his/her reporting standards because of a perception that such actions "will not be caught," nor should the tax professional allow clients to do so.

Explanation:

Fewer than 1% of all individual tax returns as well as all corporate tax return are been audited in a given tax year.

However, certain types of both taxpayers and the income for example high-income individuals, cash- oriented businesses, real estate transactions, estate as well as gift-taxable transfer are often subject to much higher probabilities of audit.

Furthermore the ethical tax professional does not "play the audit lottery" and lower his/her reporting standards because of a perception that such actions "will not be caught," nor should the tax professional allow clients to do so which is why thethe IRS has developed ways of document matching/ maximizing income in which Treasury can help determine if a transaction has been properly and effectively reported by comparing all related party information, third party information and yearly averages to relevant taxpayers' returns for the year.

Biochemical Corp. requires $720,000 in financing over the next three years. The firm can borrow the funds for three years at 10.20 percent interest per year. The CEO decides to do a forecast and predicts that if she utilizes short-term financing instead, she will pay 8.50 percent interest in the first year, 12.90 percent interest in the second year, and 9.75 percent interest in the third year. Assume interest is paid in full at the end of each year.Required:
a. Determine the total interest cost under each plan.
b. Which plan is less costly?

i. Short-tem variable-rate plan
ii. Long-term fixed-rate plarn

Answers

Answer:

Long-term fixed-rate plan-$220,320.00  

Short-term variable-rate plan-$224,280.00  

The long-term fixed-rate plan is less costly as it has a lower interest expense

Explanation:

Total interest under the first plan=principal amount*interest rate*3 years

principal amount is $720,000

interest rate is 10.20%

total interest expense=$720,000*10.20%*3=$220,320.00  

Interest expense under second plan=($720,000*8.50%)+($720,000*12.90%)+($720,000*9.75%)=$224,280.00

Legacy issues $570,000 of 8.5%, four-year bonds dated January 1, 2019, that pay interest semiannually on June 30 and December 31. They are issued at $508,050 when the market rate is 12%.

Answers

Final answer:

A bond is an 'I owe you' note where the lender (the investor) lends capital to the borrower (the issuing entity) in return for a bond and gets paid back the face value plus interest at a predetermined rate. Legacy in this case has issued $570,000 worth of bonds with an 8.5% interest rate for four years, selling them at a rate of $508,050 when the current market rate is 12%. The price of a bond is influenced by current market rates.

Explanation:

The subject of the question pertains to bonds, which are part of the financial market. A bond is an 'I owe you' note that an investor buys in exchange for lending capital to an entity, like a corporation or government. In this scenario, Legacy is issuing bonds of $570,000 with an 8.5% interest rate for four years, that pay on a semiannual basis. These bonds are sold at $508,050 when the market rate is 12%.

When buying a bond, an investor becomes the lender and the issuing entity becomes a borrower who agrees to pay back the face value of the bond at maturity, plus an agreed-upon interest rate. As mentioned above, the bond has a coupon rate, usually semi-annual, and a maturity date when the borrower will pay back its face value and last interest payment. By these parameters of face value, interest rate, and maturity date, a buyer can calculate a bond's present value. This value may not be the same as the bond's face value.

If you consider a market rate now at 12%, you know that you could invest $964 in an alternative investment and receive $1,080 a year from now; or $964(1 + 0.12) = $1080. This means you would not pay more than $964 for the original $1,000 bond. Therefore, the price of a bond is influenced by the current market rate.

Final answer:

A bond is an "I owe you" note that an investor receives in exchange for money. Legacy issued bonds at a price lower than the face value due to higher market interest rates.

Explanation:

In financial terms, a bond is an "I owe you" note that an investor receives in exchange for money. The bond has a face value, a coupon rate, and a maturity date. Combining these elements and market interest rates, a buyer can compute a bond's present value. Legacy issued $570,000 of 8.5%, four-year bonds at $508,050 when the market rate is 12%. This means that the present value of the bonds is less than the face value because the market rate is higher than the coupon rate.

d. Deposits in transit are $1,690.
e. The bank service charge is $81.
f. A check for $76 for supplies was recorded as $67 in the ledger.

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The preparation of the bank reconciliation statement is shown below:

Cash balance as per bank            $3,510

Add: Deposits in transit                $1,690

Less: Outstanding checks            -$1240

Adjusted bank balance                 $3,960

Cash balance as per books          $4,050

Less: Bank service charge           -$81  

Less:  Check for supplies error     -$9 ($76 - $67)

Adjusted cash balance                  $3,960

Therefore both the balances are matched

Final answer:

A bank reconciliation ensures agreement between a company's financial records and the bank's records. For Blossom Company, the reconciled balance for July 31, 2022, is $3,960, after taking into account outstanding checks, deposits in transit, bank fees, and a check discrepancy.

Explanation:

A bank reconciliation is a process that ensures a company's financial records are accurate and in agreement with the bank's records. For Blossom Company, let's start with both the bank statement balance and the cash account balance.

  1. The bank statement balance is $3,510
  2. The company's cash account balance is $4,050

 

Next, we consider the outstanding checks and the deposits in transit. These are transactions that the company recognizes, but the bank has not yet processed. The outstanding checks total $1,240 and the deposits in transit add up to $1,690. We need to subtract the checks from the bank's balance and add the deposits to the bank's balance:

New bank balance = $3,510 - $1,240 (outstanding checks) + $1,690 (deposits in transit) = $3,960

Next, we take into consideration the bank's service charges and any errors in the check record. The bank's service charge is $81, and a check recorded as $67 in the ledger should have been recorded as $76.

New cash account balance = $4,050 - $81 (bank service charge) - $9 (check discrepancy) = $3,960.

From our calculation, both the bank and cash balances match, so the bank reconciliation for July 31, 2022, for Blossom Company is complete, and the reconciled balance is $3,960.
