Basic Accounting Concept: Which is an advantage of a sole proprietorship form of business?
- Limited personal risk.
- Can continue indefinitely
- Owner makes all the decisions.
- All of the above.
Correct Answer

A. Owner makes all the decisions.

Explanation

The advantage of a sole proprietorship form of business is that the owner has complete control over decision-making. Unlike other forms of business, where decisions may need to be made by a board or multiple owners, a sole proprietor has the freedom to make all the decisions independently. This allows for quick and efficient decision-making, as the owner does not need to consult or seek approval from others.

- Gross profit
- Net profit

The amount of net sales minus the amount of cost of goods sold measures gross profit. Gross profit represents the profit a company makes after deducting the direct costs associated with producing or purchasing the goods sold. It reflects the profitability of the company's core operations without considering other expenses such as operating expenses or taxes. By calculating gross profit, a company can assess its ability to generate revenue from its products or services and determine the efficiency of its production or purchasing processes.

- Income Statement
- Balance Sheet
- Statement of owner's equity
- It does not appear on a financial statement

Salaries Expense would be found on the Income Statement. The Income Statement is a financial statement that shows a company's revenues, expenses, and net income or loss for a specific period of time. Salaries Expense represents the amount of money that a company has paid to its employees for their services during that period.

Explanation

- It is a list of balances on the books
- Shows the financial position of a business
- It is a special account
- Shows all the entries in the books
Correct Answer

A. It is a list of balances on the books

Explanation

A trial balance is a list of balances on the books, which means it includes all the account balances in a company's general ledger. It is used to ensure that the debits and credits in the accounting system are equal and to identify any errors or discrepancies in the recording of financial transactions. By comparing the total debits and credits in the trial balance, accountants can verify the accuracy of the company's financial records and prepare accurate financial statements.

Basic Accounting Concept: Which type of account would not be reported on the income statement?
- Revenue
- Expenses
- Withdrawals
- None of the above
Correct Answer

A. Withdrawals

Explanation

Withdrawals would not be reported on the income statement because withdrawals represent the owner's personal use of business funds and are not considered business expenses or revenue. The income statement is used to report the revenues, expenses, and net income or loss of a business, but withdrawals are not considered part of the business's financial performance. Instead, withdrawals are reported on the owner's equity statement or statement of changes in equity to reflect the decrease in the owner's investment in the business.

They are responsible for making major corporate decisions, managing the overall strategy, and ensuring the organization's success.

Basic Accounting Concept: Which of the following accounts would be considered a temporary account?
- Revenue.
- Assets.
- Liabilities.
- Owner's Equity.
Correct Answer

A. Revenue.

Explanation

Revenue is considered a temporary account because it represents income earned by a company during a specific accounting period. At the end of the period, revenue is closed out and transferred to the retained earnings account, which is a permanent account. This process ensures that revenue is properly recorded and accounted for in the financial statements. In contrast, assets, liabilities, and owner's equity are considered permanent accounts as they represent the ongoing financial position of the company.

Basic Accounting Concept: Is it true that the trial balance totals should agree?
- No, there are sometimes good reasons why they differ
- No, because it is not a balance sheet
- Yes, except where the trial balance is extracted at the year end
- Yes, always
Correct Answer

A. Yes, always

Explanation

The trial balance is a statement that lists all the debit and credit balances of accounts in the general ledger. It is prepared to ensure that the total of all debit balances equals the total of all credit balances, thus ensuring that the accounting equation (assets = liabilities + equity) is in balance. If the trial balance totals do not agree, it indicates that there is an error in the recording or balancing of accounts. Therefore, the correct answer is that the trial balance totals should always agree.

Basic Accounting Concept: The entry to record the payment of office salaries would be:
- Debit to Cash, credit to Accounts Receivable.
- Debit to Cash, credit to Salaries Expense.
- Debit to Salaries Expense, credit to Accounts Payable.
- Debit to Salaries Expense, credit to Cash.
Correct Answer

A. Debit to Salaries Expense, credit to Cash.

Explanation

The correct answer is debit to Salaries Expense, credit to Cash. This is because when office salaries are paid, it is an expense for the company, so it should be debited to the Salaries Expense account. The company is using cash to make the payment, so it should be credited to the Cash account. This entry reflects the outflow of cash for the payment of salaries.

Basic Accounting Concept: Items owned by the business such as land, supplies, and equipment are its
- Assets

- Revenue
Correct Answer

A. Assets

Assets are items owned by a business that have monetary value and can be used to generate future economic benefits. These can include tangible assets like land, supplies, and equipment, as well as intangible assets like patents or trademarks. Liabilities, on the other hand, are debts or obligations that the business owes to external parties. Owner's equity represents the owner's investment in the business and the accumulated profits or losses. Revenue refers to the income generated from the business's main activities. Therefore, the correct answer is assets, as it represents the items owned by the business.

- Payment of two months' insurance in advance.
- Payment of one month's rent.
- Owner's withdrawals.
- Payment for routine maintenance on the company van.
Correct Answer

A. Payment of two months' insurance in advance.

Explanation

Payment of two months' insurance in advance is most likely to result in an adjusting entry at the end of the period because it involves the prepayment of an expense that will be incurred over a period of time. The adjusting entry is necessary to recognize the portion of the prepaid insurance that has expired during the period as an expense. This ensures that the financial statements accurately reflect the expenses incurred during the period.

Rate this question:
19.

Basic Accounting Concepts: Which of the following is correct?
- Capital can only come from profit
- Profit does not alter capital
- Profit increases capital
- Profit reduces capital
Correct Answer

A. Profit increases capital

Explanation

Profit increases capital because profit is the excess of revenue over expenses, and it is considered a source of funds for a business. When a business earns a profit, it adds to its capital or owner's equity. This increase in capital allows the business to have more resources to invest, expand operations, or distribute dividends to shareholders. Therefore, profit is an essential factor in growing and strengthening the capital base of a business.

Basic Accounting Copcept: Which of the following would not be reported as a separate component on the income statement?
- Income from continuing operations
- Discontinued operations
- Prior period adjustment
- Extraordinary item
Correct Answer

A. Prior period adjustment

Explanation

A prior period adjustment refers to a correction made to the financial statements of a company for errors or omissions in previous periods. It is not reported as a separate component on the income statement because it is considered an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or other appropriate equity accounts. It does not represent the ongoing operations or activities of the company in the current period. Instead, it is a retrospective adjustment that corrects the errors of previous periods and ensures the accuracy of the financial statements.

Rate this question:
22.

Accounting Application: C. Miller service purchased a microscope for $1,500. It has an expected life of 30 months and no residual value. The adjusting journal entry for the month is:
- Debit Depreciation Expense $50, credit Accumulated Depreciation $50.
- Debit Depreciation Expense $500, credit Accumulated Depreciation $500.
- Debit Accumulated Depreciation $50, credit Depreciation Expense $50.
- Debit Accumulated Depreciation $500, credit Equipment $500.
Correct Answer

A. Debit Depreciation Expense $50, credit Accumulated Depreciation $50.

Explanation

The correct answer is debit Depreciation Expense $50, credit Accumulated Depreciation $50 because this journal entry reflects the monthly depreciation expense for the microscope. Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of an asset over its useful life, and in this case, the microscope has an expected life of 30 months with no residual value. By debiting Depreciation Expense, we record the expense for the month, and by crediting Accumulated Depreciation, we accumulate the total depreciation expense over time. This journal entry follows the matching principle in accounting, which requires expenses to be recognized in the same period as the related revenue or asset usage.

Rate this question:

Accounting Application: Amy flew to Philadelphia on a business trip. The purchase price of the ticket was $400 on account. The entry to record the transaction is:
- Debit Accounts Payable, $400; credit Travel Expense, $400.
- Debit Travel Expense, $400; credit Accounts Payable, $400.
- Debit Capital, $400; credit Accounts Payable, $400.
- Debit Travel Expense, $400; credit Cash, $400.
Correct Answer

A. Debit Travel Expense, $400; credit Accounts Payable, $400.

Explanation

The correct answer is debit Travel Expense, $400; credit Accounts Payable, $400. This is because the purchase of the ticket is an expense for the business, which is recorded as a debit to the Travel Expense account. Since the purchase was made on account, it is recorded as a credit to the Accounts Payable account, representing the amount owed to the supplier.

Rate this question:

Accounting Application: Carmen's catered a reception. The total price was $1,200. The customer paid $200 cash and charged the remainder. The journal entry to record this transaction is:
- Debit Cash $200 and Accounts Receivable $1,000; credit Catering Service Fees $1,200.
- Debit Cash $200; credit Accounts Receivable $200.
- Debit Cash $1,000 and Accounts Receivable $200; credit Catering Service Fees $1,200
- Debit Accounts Receivable $1,200; credit Cash $200 and Catering Service Fees $1,000.
Correct Answer

A. Debit Cash $200 and Accounts Receivable $1,000; credit Catering Service Fees $1,200.

Explanation

The correct answer is debit Cash $200 and Accounts Receivable $1,000; credit Catering Service Fees $1,200. This is the correct journal entry because $200 was received in cash, reducing the amount owed by the customer, and $1,000 was charged to the customer's Accounts Receivable, representing the amount they still owe. The Catering Service Fees account is credited for the total price of $1,200 to record the revenue earned from the reception.

Rate this question:

Accounting Application: Carr Hardware has total assets of $75,000. What are the total assets if new baking equipment is purchased for $10,000 cash?
- $85,000
- $65,000
- $10,000
- $75,000
Correct Answer

A. $75,000

Explanation

The correct answer is $75,000. This is because the question asks for the total assets after the new baking equipment is purchased for $10,000 cash. Since the purchase is made in cash, it does not affect the total assets. Therefore, the total assets remain at $75,000.

Rate this question:

Accounting Application: Ellen's Bakery collects $3,500 of its account receivables. The expanded accounting equation changes include:
- Cash and Ellen, Capital increases, $3,500
- Cash and Revenue increases, $3,500
- Cash increases and Accounts Receivable decreases, $3,500
- Accounts Receivable decreases and Ellen, Capital increases, $3,500
Correct Answer

A. Cash increases and Accounts Receivable decreases, $3,500

Explanation

When Ellen's Bakery collects $3,500 of its accounts receivables, it means that the bakery is receiving cash from its customers who owed money. This results in an increase in the cash account because the bakery now has more cash on hand. At the same time, the accounts receivable balance decreases because the bakery has received payment and no longer has outstanding receivables. Therefore, the correct answer is "Cash increases and Accounts Receivable decreases, $3,500".

Accounting Application: Sun Glow Glass estimated depreciation for office equipment is $100. The adjusting entry would include:
- A credit to Accumulated Depreciation for $100.
- A credit to Depreciation Expense for $100.
- A debit to Accumulated Depreciation for $100
- A credit to Office Equipment for $100.
Correct Answer

A. A credit to Accumulated Depreciation for $100.

Explanation

The correct answer is a credit to Accumulated Depreciation for $100. This is because the adjusting entry for depreciation involves increasing the Accumulated Depreciation account, which is a contra-asset account that represents the total depreciation expense incurred over time. By crediting Accumulated Depreciation, the account balance is increased, reflecting the accumulated depreciation for the office equipment.

Excel Application: If you copy the formula =$B38 into another cell, the result will be:
- The column part will remain the same
- The row part will remain the same
- Both the column and row will remain the same
- Both will change
Correct Answer

A. The column part will remain the same

Explanation

When the formula =$B38 is copied into another cell, the column part (B) will remain the same. This is because the dollar sign ($) in front of the column reference locks it in place, preventing it from changing when the formula is copied to a different column. However, the row part (38) is not locked with a dollar sign, so it will change relative to the new cell location.

Excel Application: If you copy the formula =B38 into another cell, the result will be:
- The column part will remain the same
- The row part will remain the same
- Both the column and row will remain the same
- Both will change
Correct Answer

A. Both will change

Explanation

When you copy a formula in Excel to another cell, the cell references in the formula will adjust accordingly. In this case, since the formula being copied is "=B38", both the column (B) and the row (38) references will change based on the new location of the copied formula. So, if you copy the formula to a different cell, the new formula will reference a different column and row.

- Manual calculation is turned on and the cell has not been re-calculated.
- Someone has keyed the number 0 into B7.
- The function contains a circular reference.
- The function is still being edited so hasn't calculated a result yet.
Correct Answer

A. The function contains a circular reference.

Explanation

The SUM function in B7 shows zero because it contains a circular reference. A circular reference occurs when a formula refers back to the cell it is located in, creating an infinite loop. In this case, the SUM function in B7 is referring to itself, causing it to continuously calculate and result in zero.
