Which of the following statements regarding liabilities is true?
- A.
Liabilities are always payable in cash.
- B.
Liabilities are all reported as current in the balance sheet.
- C.
Liabilities result from future transactions.
- D.
Liabilities represent probable future sacrifices of benefits.
Correct Answer
D. Liabilities represent probable future sacrifices of benefits.Explanation
Liabilities represent probable future sacrifices of benefits because they are obligations or debts that a company owes to external parties. These obligations can be settled by transferring assets, providing services, or other similar actions, which may result in sacrificing future economic benefits. Therefore, liabilities are not always payable in cash and not all liabilities are reported as current in the balance sheet.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a characteristic of a liability?
- A.
It represents a probable, future sacrifice of economic benefits.
- B.
It must be payable in cash.
- C.
It arises from present obligations to other entities.
- D.
It results from past transactions or events.
Correct Answer
B. It must be payable in cash.Explanation
A liability represents a probable, future sacrifice of economic benefits and arises from present obligations to other entities. It also results from past transactions or events. However, it does not necessarily have to be payable in cash. Liabilities can be settled through the transfer of other assets, the provision of services, or the issuance of equity instruments.Rate this question:

If Executive Airways borrows $10 million on September 1, 2012, for one year at 6% interest, how much interest expense does it record for the year ended December 31, 2012?
- A.
$0
- B.
$150,000
- C.
$200,000
- D.
$600,000
Correct Answer
C. $200,000Explanation
Executive Airways borrowed $10 million on September 1, 2012, for one year at a 6% interest rate. The interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2012, can be calculated by multiplying the borrowed amount by the interest rate. Therefore, the interest expense is $10 million x 6% = $600,000.Rate this question:

On November 1, 2012, a company signed an $200,000, 12%, six-month note payable with the amount borrowed plus accrued interest due six months later on May 1, 2011. The company should report the following adjusting entry at December 31, 2012:
- A.
Debit interest expense and credit interest payable, $4,000.
- B.
Debit interest expense and credit cash, $4,000.
- C.
Debit interest expense and credit interest payable, $12,000.
- D.
Debit interest expense and credit cash, $12,000.
Correct Answer
A. Debit interest expense and credit interest payable, $4,000.Explanation
The correct answer is to debit interest expense and credit interest payable for $4,000. This adjusting entry is necessary to record the interest expense that has accrued but has not yet been paid. The company signed a six-month note payable on November 1, 2012, so by December 31, 2012, two months of interest have accrued. The interest expense is calculated by multiplying the principal amount ($200,000) by the interest rate (12%) and the time period (2/6 or 1/3). Therefore, the interest expense is $8,000, but since only two months have passed, the company only needs to record $4,000 as an adjusting entry.Rate this question:

Which of the following is paid by both the employee and the employer?
- A.
FICA taxes.
- B.
Federal unemployment taxes.
- C.
State unemployment taxes.
- D.
Personal income taxes.
Correct Answer
A. FICA taxes.Explanation
FICA taxes, which stands for Federal Insurance Contributions Act taxes, are paid by both the employee and the employer. These taxes are used to fund Social Security and Medicare programs. The employee and the employer each contribute a portion of the FICA taxes, with the employee's portion being deducted from their wages and the employer matching that contribution. This makes FICA taxes unique compared to the other options listed, as the others are typically paid solely by either the employee or the employer.Rate this question:

When a product or service is delivered to a customer that previously paid in advance, the delivery is recorded as:
- A.
A debit to a revenue and a credit to a liability account.
- B.
A debit to a revenue and a credit to an asset account.
- C.
A debit to an asset and a credit to a revenue account.
- D.
A debit to a liability and a credit to a revenue account.
Correct Answer
D. A debit to a liability and a credit to a revenue account.Explanation
When a product or service is delivered to a customer who has previously paid in advance, it creates a liability for the company because they still owe the customer the product or service. Therefore, the delivery is recorded as a debit to the liability account. At the same time, since the company has fulfilled its obligation and earned revenue from the sale, a credit is made to the revenue account. This reflects the increase in the liability and revenue accounts, accurately reflecting the transaction.Rate this question:

Management can estimate the amount of loss that will occur due to litigation against the company. If the likelihood of loss is probable, a contingent liability should be
- A.
Disclosed but not reported as a liability.
- B.
Disclosed and reported as a liability.
- C.
Neither disclosed or reported as a liability.
- D.
Reported as a liability but not disclosed.
Correct Answer
B. Disclosed and reported as a liability.Explanation
When management estimates that the amount of loss from litigation is probable, they should disclose and report it as a liability. This means that they should make it known in the financial statements and also recognize it as an actual liability on the balance sheet. This is because the potential loss is likely to occur and it is important for stakeholders to be aware of this information.Rate this question:

Allied Partners filed suit against Big Sky, Inc., seeking damages for patent infringement. Big Sky's legal counsel believes it is probable that Big Sky will settle the lawsuit for an estimated amount in the range of $500,000 to $700,000, with all amounts in the range considered equally likely. How should Big Sky report this litigation?
- A.
As a liability for $700,000 with disclosure of the range.
- B.
As a liability for $600,000 with disclosure of the range.
- C.
As a liability for $500,000 with disclosure of the range.
- D.
As a disclosure only. No liability is reported.
Correct Answer
C. As a liability for $500,000 with disclosure of the range.Explanation
Big Sky should report this litigation as a liability for $500,000 with disclosure of the range because it is probable that they will settle the lawsuit within that range. The estimated amount of $500,000 falls within the range of $500,000 to $700,000, and all amounts in the range are considered equally likely. Therefore, reporting the liability at the lower end of the range is appropriate.Rate this question:

The current ratio is
- A.
Current assets divided by current liabilities.
- B.
Current liabilities divided current assets.
- C.
Cash, short-term investments, and accounts receivable divided by current liabilities.
- D.
Cash, short-term investments, accounts receivable, and inventory divided by current liabilities.
Correct Answer
A. Current assets divided by current liabilities.Explanation
The current ratio is a financial ratio that measures a company's ability to pay off its short-term liabilities with its short-term assets. It is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities. This ratio indicates the liquidity and short-term financial health of a company. A higher current ratio suggests that a company is more capable of meeting its short-term obligations. Therefore, the correct answer is "current assets divided by current liabilities."Rate this question:

Assuming a current ratio of 1.0 and an acid-test ratio of 0.75, how will the borrowing of cash over five years affect each ratio?
- A.
Increase the current ratio and increase the acid-test ratio.
- B.
No change to the current ratio and decrease the acid-test ratio.
- C.
Decrease the current ratio and decrease the acid-test ratio.
- D.
Increase the current ratio and decrease the acid-test ratio.
Correct Answer
A. Increase the current ratio and increase the acid-test ratio.Explanation
Borrowing cash over five years will increase the current ratio because it will increase the current assets (cash) without affecting the current liabilities. This will result in a higher current ratio, which measures the ability of a company to pay off its short-term obligations. Additionally, borrowing cash will also increase the acid-test ratio because it does not include inventory in its calculation. Since borrowing cash does not affect inventory, it will increase the numerator (current assets) without affecting the denominator (current liabilities + inventory), resulting in a higher acid-test ratio.Rate this question:

Which of the following is not a common long-term debt?
- A.
Bonds payable
- B.
Notes payable
- C.
Leases payable
- D.
Accounts payable
Correct Answer
D. Accounts payableExplanation
Accounts payable is not considered a common long-term debt because it refers to the short-term debts owed by a company to its suppliers for goods or services received. These debts are typically paid within a short period, usually within 30-90 days. On the other hand, bonds payable, notes payable, and leases payable are all examples of long-term debts that are typically repaid over a longer period, often several years.Rate this question:

Bonds can be secured or unsecured. Likewise, bonds can be term or serial bonds. Which is more common?
- A.
Secured and term
- B.
Secured and serial
- C.
Unsecured and term
- D.
Unsecured and serial
Correct Answer
C. Unsecured and termExplanation
Unsecured and term bonds are more common because they do not require any collateral and have a fixed maturity date. Secured bonds, on the other hand, are backed by specific assets or collateral, making them less common. Serial bonds have staggered maturity dates, while term bonds have a single maturity date, making term bonds more prevalent in the market.Rate this question:

Convertible bonds:
- A.
Provide potential benefits only to the investor.
- B.
Provide potential benefits only to the issuer.
- C.
Provide potential benefits to both the investor and the issuer.
- D.
Provide no potential benefits.
Correct Answer
C. Provide potential benefits to both the investor and the issuer.Explanation
Convertible bonds provide potential benefits to both the investor and the issuer. For the investor, convertible bonds offer the opportunity to convert the bond into a predetermined number of shares of the issuer's common stock. This allows the investor to participate in any potential increase in the issuer's stock price. For the issuer, convertible bonds provide a way to raise capital at a lower interest rate compared to traditional bonds, as investors are willing to accept a lower rate in exchange for the conversion feature. Additionally, the issuer benefits from the potential increase in the stock price, which can improve the company's financial position.Rate this question:

Bonds issued at a discount are:
- A.
Issued above face value.
- B.
Issued below face value.
- C.
Issued at face value.
- D.
Riskier bonds sold at a bargain price.
Correct Answer
B. Issued below face value.Explanation
Bonds issued at a discount means that they are sold for a price lower than their face value. This is because the market interest rate is higher than the bond's coupon rate. Investors are willing to buy these bonds at a discount because they will receive the full face value at maturity, allowing them to earn a higher yield. Therefore, the correct answer is "Issued below face value."Rate this question:

Which of the following is true for bonds issued at a premium?
- A.
The stated interest rate is greater than the market interest rate.
- B.
The market interest rate is greater than the stated interest rate.
- C.
The stated interest rate and the market interest rate are equal.
- D.
The stated interest rate and the market interest rate are unrelated.
Correct Answer
A. The stated interest rate is greater than the market interest rate.Explanation
Bonds issued at a premium have a stated interest rate that is greater than the market interest rate. This means that the bond is offering a higher interest rate than what is currently available in the market, making it more attractive to investors. As a result, the bond is sold at a price higher than its face value, or par value. The premium represents the difference between the price paid for the bond and its par value.Rate this question:

The cash paid for interest on bonds payable is calculated as:
- A.
Face amount times the stated interest rate.
- B.
Carrying value times the market interest rate.
- C.
Face amount times the market interest rate.
- D.
Carrying value times the stated interest rate.
Correct Answer
A. Face amount times the stated interest rate.Explanation
The cash paid for interest on bonds payable is calculated by multiplying the face amount of the bonds by the stated interest rate. This is because the stated interest rate is the rate that is agreed upon and stated on the bond, and the face amount is the principal amount of the bond that is to be repaid. Therefore, multiplying these two values will give the cash paid for interest on the bonds.Rate this question:

When bonds are issued at a premium, what happens to the carrying value and interest expense over the life of the bonds?
- A.
Carrying value and interest expense increase.
- B.
Carrying value and interest expense decrease.
- C.
Carrying value decreases and interest expense increases.
- D.
Carrying value increases and interest expense decreases.
Correct Answer
B. Carrying value and interest expense decrease.Explanation
When bonds are issued at a premium, it means that the bonds are sold at a price higher than their face value. The carrying value of the bonds represents the total value of the bonds on the balance sheet, which includes the face value of the bonds plus any premium. As the premium decreases over the life of the bonds, the carrying value decreases.
Interest expense is the cost of borrowing and is recorded as an expense on the income statement. When bonds are issued at a premium, the interest expense is reduced because the premium is amortized over the life of the bonds and reduces the effective interest rate. Therefore, both the carrying value and interest expense decrease over the life of the bonds.Rate this question:

Douglas County retires a $50 million bond issue when the carrying value of the bonds is $52 million, but the market value of the bonds is only $47 million. The entry to record the retirement will include:
- A.
A debit of $5 million to loss on early extinguishment.
- B.
A credit of $5 million to gain on early extinguishment.
- C.
No gain or loss on retirement.
- D.
A debit to cash for $47 million.
Correct Answer
B. A credit of $5 million to gain on early extinguishment.Explanation
The correct answer is a credit of $5 million to gain on early extinguishment. This is because the market value of the bonds is lower than the carrying value, resulting in a gain on early extinguishment. The gain is recognized when the bonds are retired, and it is credited to the gain on early extinguishment account.Rate this question:

Which of the following leases is simply a rental?
- A.
An operating lease.
- B.
A capital lease.
- C.
Both an operating and a capital lease.
- D.
Neither an operating lease nor a capital lease.
Correct Answer
A. An operating lease.Explanation
An operating lease is simply a rental because it allows the lessee to use and benefit from an asset for a specified period of time without transferring ownership rights. The lessor retains ownership of the asset and is responsible for maintenance and other costs associated with the asset. The lessee pays regular rental payments for the use of the asset. This type of lease is commonly used for short-term or non-essential assets, where the lessee does not want to take on the risks and responsibilities of ownership.Rate this question:

Financial leverage is best measured by which of the following ratios?
- A.
The return on assets ratio.
- B.
The return on equity ratio.
- C.
The times interest earned ratio.
- D.
The debt to equity ratio.
Correct Answer
D. The debt to equity ratio.Explanation
The debt to equity ratio is the best measure of financial leverage because it compares a company's total debt to its total equity. This ratio indicates the proportion of a company's funding that comes from debt versus equity. A higher debt to equity ratio suggests that a company is relying more on debt to finance its operations, which increases its financial leverage. This can be risky as it means the company has a higher level of debt that needs to be serviced, which can put strain on its financial stability. Therefore, the debt to equity ratio is a key indicator of a company's financial leverage.Rate this question:

The advantages of owning a corporation include all of the following except:
- A.
Lack of mutual agency.
- B.
Ability to raise capital.
- C.
Limited liability.
- D.
Additional taxes.
Correct Answer
D. Additional taxes.Explanation
Owning a corporation offers several advantages, such as limited liability, the ability to raise capital, and lack of mutual agency. However, one disadvantage is the additional taxes that corporations have to pay. Unlike other business structures, corporations are subject to double taxation, where the corporation itself is taxed on its profits, and then shareholders are also taxed on any dividends they receive. This additional tax burden is not considered an advantage of owning a corporation.Rate this question:

- B.
Outstanding, issued, and authorized.
- C.
Issued, outstanding, and authorized.
- D.

Correct Answer
A. Authorized, issued, and outstanding.Explanation
The correct order from the largest number of shares to the smallest number of shares is authorized, issued, and outstanding. "Authorized" refers to the maximum number of shares a company is allowed to issue. "Issued" represents the number of shares that have been actually issued by the company. "Outstanding" refers to the number of shares that are currently held by shareholders. Therefore, the correct order is authorized (largest), issued, and outstanding (smallest).Rate this question:

D. SecuredExplanation
Preferred stock typically has features such as being convertible, redeemable, and cumulative. However, being secured is not a potential feature of preferred stock. Secured refers to a type of debt that is backed by collateral, whereas preferred stock represents ownership in a company and does not have collateral backing.

- A.
Is increased by debits
- B.
Decreases stockholder's equity
- C.

- D.
Increases stockholders' equity
Correct Answer
D. Increases stockholders' equityExplanation
Retained earnings represent the accumulated profits of a company that have not been distributed to shareholders as dividends. When retained earnings increase, it means that the company has generated more profits and has chosen to retain a portion of those profits instead of distributing them. This increase in retained earnings directly increases the stockholders' equity, as it represents the shareholders' claim on the company's assets. Therefore, the correct answer is that retained earnings increase stockholders' equity.Rate this question:

No effect on total stockholders' equity.
- B.

- D.
Can either increase or decrease total stockholders' equity depending on the situation.
Correct Answer
A. No effect on total stockholders' equity.Explanation
A stock dividend is a distribution of additional shares to existing shareholders, usually expressed as a percentage. When a stock dividend is issued, it does not change the total stockholders' equity. While the number of shares increases, the proportional ownership of each shareholder remains the same. Therefore, the value of the shares held by each shareholder remains unchanged, resulting in no effect on the total stockholders' equity.Rate this question:

B. The statement of stockholders' equity.Explanation
The correct answer is the statement of stockholders' equity. This statement summarizes the changes in the balance in each stockholders' equity account over a period of time. It provides information on the beginning balance, any additional investments or withdrawals, net income or loss, and any other changes in equity.

Operating activity
- B.
Investing activity
- C.

Correct Answer
A. Operating activityExplanation
The purchase of inventory for cash is classified as an operating activity in the statement of cash flows because it represents a transaction directly related to the company's primary operations. Inventory is a key component of the company's business and its purchase is necessary for the production or sale of goods. Therefore, it is considered an operating activity as it reflects the cash inflows and outflows directly associated with the company's core operations.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Investing activityExplanation
When an intangible asset is sold for cash, it is classified as an investing activity in the statement of cash flows. This is because the sale of an intangible asset represents a disposal of a long-term asset, which falls under the investing section of the statement of cash flows.

- B.
Deduction from net income in the operating activities section.
- C.
Investing activity
- D.
Financing activity
Correct Answer
A. Addition to net income in the operating activities section.Explanation
An increase in accounts payable represents an increase in liabilities owed by the company. This increase is not a cash outflow but rather a source of cash for the company, as it indicates that the company has received goods or services but has not yet paid for them. Therefore, it is added back to net income in the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows under the indirect method. This adjustment is necessary to reconcile net income with the actual cash flows generated by the company's operations.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. Purchase of an intangible asset.Explanation
The purchase of an intangible asset is an example of a cash outflow from an investing activity because it involves the expenditure of cash to acquire an intangible asset, such as patents, copyrights, or trademarks. This type of expenditure is considered an investment because it is expected to generate future economic benefits for the company. Other options listed, such as payment of interest, payment of cash dividends, and purchase of treasury stock, are not examples of cash outflows from investing activities but rather financing or operating activities.Rate this question:

- D.
Net cash flows from operating activities divided by ending total assets.
Correct Answer
B. Net cash flows from operating activities divided by average total assets.Explanation
The correct answer is "Net cash flows from operating activities divided by average total assets." This is because cash return on assets measures the cash generated from operating activities relative to the average total assets. It provides insight into how efficiently a company is utilizing its assets to generate cash. By dividing the net cash flows from operating activities by the average total assets, we can determine the cash return on assets.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
A. Depreciation expense.Explanation
The statement of cash flows using the direct method reports cash inflows and outflows from operating activities. Depreciation expense, however, is a non-cash expense that represents the allocation of the cost of an asset over its useful life. Since it does not involve the actual flow of cash, it is not reported in the statement of cash flows using the direct method.Rate this question:
