Under accrual accounting we recognize revenue when it is:

earned, no matter when payment for it is received

earned, as long as payment for it occurs in the same time period

received, no matter when it is earned

received, as long as payment for it occurs in the same time period

What is the relationship between a company receiving cash and recognizing revenue?

All of these answers are correct.

Cash is received after the revenue has been earned.

Cash is received before the revenue has been earned.

Cash is received at the time revenue is earned.

A company can adopt a policy in which it resolves to pay a set amount as a dividend each year as long as it has:

both sufficient retained earnings and sufficient cash each year to pay the amount

sufficient net income for the current year to cover the amount of the dividend payment

the approval of the stockholders

None of these answers is correct

The first step in the accrual matching process is:

to determine in which income statement period a company should recognize a particular revenue

to determine which expenses helped to generate specific revenue

to match those expenses paid in the same period with the revenues received in cash during the same period

to recognize only those expenses actually paid in the same period as the revenue they helped to generate

- A.
  
  Quick ratio
- B.
  
  Debt to equity ratio
- C.

This ensures that the company can fulfill its commitment to pay dividends without jeopardizing its financial stability. The other options mentioned, such as sufficient net income for the current year and approval of stockholders, are not sufficient on their own to guarantee the payment of dividends.

Correct Answer
A. To determine in which income statement period a company should recognize a particular revenue

Explanation
The first step in the accrual matching process is to determine in which income statement period a company should recognize a particular revenue. This means that the company needs to identify the specific period in which the revenue was earned, regardless of when the cash was received. This is important for accurately matching the revenue with the corresponding expenses incurred in generating that revenue. By recognizing the revenue in the correct period, the company can provide a more accurate representation of its financial performance for that period.

In accounting, an asset's depreciable base is calculated as:
- A.
  
  Asset cost - residual value
- B.
  
  Asset cost + residual value
- C.
  
  Asset cost × residual value
- D.
  
  Asset cost ÷ residual value
Correct Answer
A. Asset cost - residual value

Explanation
The correct answer is asset cost - residual value. The depreciable base of an asset is calculated by subtracting the residual value from the asset cost. The residual value represents the estimated value of the asset at the end of its useful life, and subtracting it from the asset cost gives us the amount that can be depreciated over the asset's useful life.

This rate represents the stated or advertised interest rate that the bond issuer promises to pay to the bondholder. It is important to note that the nominal interest rate does not take into account factors such as inflation or compounding, and therefore may not reflect the actual return on investment for the bondholder.

When a bond sells for 102, it has sold at a:
- A.
  
  Discount
- B.
  
  Loss
- C.
  
  Premium
- D.
  
  Gain
Correct Answer
C. Premium

Explanation
When a bond sells for 102, it means that the bond is being sold at a price higher than its face value. A premium is the amount by which the bond's price exceeds its face value. Therefore, in this case, the bond is being sold at a premium.

If a $1,000 bond sells for 95, this bond has sold at a:
- A.
  
  Premium
- B.
  
  Discount
- C.
  
  Gain
- D.
  
  Loss
Correct Answer
B. Discount

Explanation
A bond selling at a discount means that it is being sold for less than its face value. In this case, the $1,000 bond is being sold for $950 (95% of its face value), indicating a discount. This could be due to factors such as lower interest rates or a higher perceived risk associated with the bond.

The cost of borrowing money is known as:
- A.
  
  Rate
- B.
  
  Time
- C.
  
  Principal
- D.
  
  Interest
Correct Answer
D. Interest

Explanation
The correct answer is "interest" because interest refers to the amount of money that is charged for borrowing or lending money. It is the cost of borrowing money and is typically expressed as a percentage of the principal amount. The interest rate is determined by factors such as the borrower's creditworthiness, the length of time the money is borrowed for, and the prevailing market rates. Therefore, interest is the correct term to describe the cost of borrowing money.

A bond is sold below its par value. The amount below par value for which it is sold is called the:
- A.
  
  Premium
- B.
  
  Face
- C.
  
  Discount
- D.
  
  Principal
Correct Answer
C. Discount

Explanation
When a bond is sold below its par value, it means that it is sold at a price lower than its face value. The difference between the selling price and the face value is called the discount. The discount represents the amount by which the bond's price is discounted or reduced. This occurs when the bond's interest rate is lower than the prevailing market interest rate, making it less attractive to investors. As a result, the bond is sold at a discount to compensate for the lower interest payments.

Li Pe wishes to purchase $5 par value stock from Star Industries Corporation. Li Pe is willing to pay $12 for each of the shares if Star Industries will sell her 100 of them. The amount that Star will record as "Additional paid-in capital" on this sale is:
- A.
  
  $1,200
- B.
  
  $700
- C.
  
  $0
- D.
  
  $500
Correct Answer
B. $700

Explanation
The "Additional paid-in capital" is the amount that a company receives from investors in excess of the par value of its stock. In this case, Li Pe is willing to pay $12 per share for 100 shares, which amounts to $1,200. Since the par value of each share is $5, the excess amount that Star Industries will receive is $12 - $5 = $7. Therefore, the total "Additional paid-in capital" on this sale will be $7 x 100 = $700.

The amount that must be paid back upon maturity of the bond is known as the bond's:
- A.
  
  Discount
- B.
  
  Premium
- C.
  
  Interest
- D.
  
  Par value
Correct Answer
D. Par value

Explanation
The par value of a bond refers to the amount that the issuer promises to repay the bondholder upon maturity. It is the face value or principal amount of the bond, which is typically set at the time of issuance. The par value is important because it determines the amount that the bondholder will receive when the bond reaches its maturity date. It is not influenced by factors such as market conditions or interest rates, unlike the bond's discount or premium. Interest, on the other hand, refers to the periodic payments made to bondholders as a form of compensation for lending money.

A company pays off a bond issue. This activity would be considered a(n):
- A.
  
  Operating activities
- B.
  
  Financing activities
- C.
  
  Investing activities
- D.
  
  Continuing activities
Correct Answer
B. Financing activities

Explanation
When a company pays off a bond issue, it is considered a financing activity. This is because bonds are a form of long-term debt that the company has taken on to finance its operations. By paying off the bond, the company is reducing its debt and therefore engaging in a financing activity. Operating activities refer to the day-to-day activities of the company, investing activities involve the acquisition or sale of long-term assets, and continuing activities is not a recognized category in accounting.

The economic sacrifices that are a normal part of operating a business are commonly referred to as:
- A.
  
  Owners' equity
- B.
  
  Net income
- C.
  
  Revenue
- D.
  
  Expenses
Correct Answer
D. Expenses

Explanation
Expenses refer to the economic sacrifices that a business incurs in order to operate. These sacrifices can include costs for materials, labor, rent, utilities, and other necessary expenditures. By subtracting expenses from revenue, a business can determine its net income, which represents the amount of profit or loss generated. Owners' equity, on the other hand, refers to the residual interest in the assets of a business after deducting liabilities. Therefore, expenses are the correct answer as they represent the economic sacrifices made by a business.

Whirlwind Tours has just acquired a new tour bus. The bus cost $45,000 to purchase, but then Whirlwind had to spend an additional $3,000 to get it painted with the Whirlwind logo and ready to use. If Whirlwind plans to use the bus for five years, and then hopes to sell it for $12,000, how much depreciation will be recognized each year under the straight-line method?
- A.
  
  $9,600
- B.
  
  $9,000
- C.
  
  $7,200
- D.
  
  $6,600
Correct Answer
C. $7,200

Explanation
The depreciation expense is calculated by subtracting the expected salvage value ($12,000) from the initial cost of the bus ($45,000 + $3,000 = $48,000) and dividing it by the useful life of the bus (5 years). Therefore, the depreciation expense per year under the straight-line method is ($48,000 - $12,000) / 5 = $7,200.

The Tool Box has just purchased a new machine for $50,000. The Tool Box plans to use the machine for 10 years, at which time they believe that they will be able to sell it for $2,000. If The Tool Box uses straight-line depreciation, how much will they depreciate each year?
- A.
  
  $5,000
- B.
  
  $5,200
- C.
  
  $10,000
- D.
  
  $4,800
Correct Answer
D. $4,800

Explanation
The correct answer is $4,800. Straight-line depreciation is calculated by taking the initial cost of the machine ($50,000) and subtracting the estimated salvage value ($2,000), then dividing the result by the useful life of the machine (10 years). In this case, the calculation would be: ($50,000 - $2,000) / 10 = $4,800. Therefore, The Tool Box will depreciate the machine by $4,800 each year.

- B.
  
  $967
- C.
  
  $400
- D.
  
  $833
Correct Answer
A. $700

Explanation
The depreciation expense is calculated by subtracting the salvage value from the initial cost and dividing it by the useful life of the asset. In this case, the initial cost is $2,500 and the salvage value is $400. The useful life is three years. Therefore, the depreciation expense per year is ($2,500 - $400) / 3 = $700.

The double-declining-balance method calculates depreciation expense:
- A.
  
  At twice (or double) the straight-line rate
- B.
  
  At twice (or double) the straight-line dollar amount each year
- C.
  
  Without using book value in its calculation
- D.
  
  Without considering the asset's residual value at any point in its calculations
Correct Answer
A. At twice (or double) the straight-line rate

Explanation
The double-declining-balance method calculates depreciation expense at twice (or double) the straight-line rate. This means that the depreciation expense each year will be a higher percentage of the asset's initial cost compared to the straight-line method. It allows for a faster recognition of depreciation expense in the earlier years of an asset's life, reflecting the concept that assets tend to lose their value more rapidly in the early years. This method does not consider the asset's residual value or book value in its calculation, focusing solely on the straight-line rate.

Lonnie has just purchased 50 shares of $3 par value stock from JML Corporation. He paid a total of $275 for the shares. How much will JML recognize as "Additional paid-in capital" from the sale?
- A.
  
  $275
- B.
  
  $0
- C.
  
  $125
- D.
  
  $150
Correct Answer
C. $125

Explanation
JML will recognize $125 as "Additional paid-in capital" from the sale. This is calculated by subtracting the par value of the stock ($3) from the total amount paid for the shares ($275). In this case, $3 multiplied by 50 shares equals $150, so $275 - $150 = $125.
