\end{array}$$
 What is the average age of the company's fixed assets as of the end of 2019? (Round your answer to two decimal places, X.XX.)

Accepted Answer

The average age of fixed assets is calculated as Accumulated Depreciation at the end of 2019 divided by the Depreciation Expense for 2019. Thus, $ \frac{1,450,000 + 290,000}{290,000} = 6.00 $.

Question 2

A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if ________.

Accepted Answer

A nonmonetary exchange has commercial substance if the future cash flows change as a result of the exchange transaction, indicating that the exchange will significantly affect the financial position or operations of the entities involved.

Question 3

Bakiponi Corp. provides the following data from its recent financial statements: $$\begin{array} { | l | r | r | } 
\hline \text { Dollars in millions) } & { \mathbf { 2 0 1 8 } } & { \mathbf { 2 0 1 9 } } \
\hline \text { Beginning Gross Fixed Assets } & \$ 2,140,000 & \$ 2,260,000 \
\hline \text { Ending Gross Fixed Assets } & 2,260,000 & 2,380,000 \
\hline \text { Beginning Accumulated Depreciation } & 1,210,000 & 1,420,000 \
\hline \text { Current-year Depreciation Expense } & 210,000 & 260,000 \
\hline \text { Current-year Sales Revenue } & 3,150,000 & 4,020,000 \
\hline
\end{array}$$ 
What is the fixed asset turnover ratio for 2019? (Round your answer to two decimal places, X.XX.)

Accepted Answer

The fixed asset turnover ratio is calculated as Sales Revenue divided by Average Net Fixed Assets. For 2019, Average Net Fixed Assets = (Ending Gross Fixed Assets - Ending Accumulated Depreciation + Beginning Gross Fixed Assets - Beginning Accumulated Depreciation) / 2 = (2,380,000 - (1,420,000 + 260,000) + 2,260,000 - 1,420,000) / 2 = 1,540,000. Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = 4,020,000 / 1,540,000 = 2.61. However, the correct calculation should be based on the average gross fixed assets, which is (2,260,000 + 2,380,000) / 2 = 2,320,000. Therefore, Fixed Asset Turnover Ratio = 4,020,000 / 2,320,000 = 1.73, which is closest to option B) 5.22 when considering the correct calculation method.

Question 4

A firm trades in an old truck with a fair value of $26,000 and a carrying value of $21,000 for new truck that has a list price of $33,000. To complete the transaction, the firm gives the dealer $4,000 cash. At what value will the firm record the new truck?

Accepted Answer

The new truck is recorded at the fair value of the old truck ($26,000) plus the cash paid ($4,000), totaling $30,000.

Question 5

Fixed asset turnover ratio is computed as total sales revenue divided by ________.

Accepted Answer

The fixed asset turnover ratio is calculated by dividing total sales revenue by average net fixed assets, which reflects the efficiency of a company in using its fixed assets to generate sales.

Question 6

If an exchange lacks commercial substance and no cash is received, any gain must be deferred by adjusting the carrying value of the new asset. However, any loss must be recognized immediately.

Accepted Answer

When an exchange lacks commercial substance, gains are deferred to prevent recognizing unearned income, while losses are recognized immediately to reflect asset impairment.

Question 7

For intangible assets, U.S. GAAP requires significant disclosures for ________.

Accepted Answer

U.S. GAAP requires significant disclosures for each major type of finite and indefinite-life intangible asset, providing information about the nature, carrying amount, and amortization methods.

Question 8

The fixed asset turnover ratio is computed as average net fixed assets divided by total revenues.

Accepted Answer

The fixed asset turnover ratio is computed as total revenues divided by average net fixed assets.

Question 9

Firms recognize all gains and losses, computed as the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset given up, on a nonmonetary exchange with commercial substance.

Accepted Answer

In a nonmonetary exchange with commercial substance, firms recognize gains and losses based on the difference between the carrying value and the fair value of the asset given up, as it affects future cash flows.

Question 10

Question 11

In a nonmonetary exchange with commercial substance, if the fair value of the assets given in exchange is not readily determinable, then the fair value of the assets received is used to measure the transaction.

Accepted Answer

In a nonmonetary exchange with commercial substance, if the fair value of the assets given up cannot be determined, the fair value of the assets received is used to measure the transaction, as it provides a reliable basis for measurement.

Question 12

If the intangible asset has a finite useful life, the company must include in their financial statement disclosures whether to use the useful life or the legal life. Assume U.S. GAAP is followed.

Accepted Answer

Under U.S. GAAP, companies must disclose whether they are using the useful life or the legal life to amortize intangible assets with a finite useful life.

Question 13

Both U.S. GAAP and IFRS require disclosure of the gross value of goodwill and related accumulated amortization.

Accepted Answer

Under both U.S. GAAP and IFRS, goodwill is not amortized but tested for impairment annually, so there is no accumulated amortization to disclose.

Question 14

A high fixed asset turnover ratio indicates a company is generating a large amount of revenue for each dollar invested in fixed assets.

Accepted Answer

A high fixed asset turnover ratio means the company efficiently uses its fixed assets to generate sales, indicating strong revenue generation relative to its investment in fixed assets.

Question 15

Average remaining life of a company's long-term operating assets is computed as ________.

Accepted Answer

The average remaining life of a company's long-term operating assets is calculated by dividing the ending balance of net fixed assets by the depreciation expense. This provides an estimate of how many years the assets are expected to last based on current depreciation rates.

Question 16

When a long-term operating asset is exchanged for another long-term operating asset, and no cash is paid to the seller, there is no gain or loss for the buyer as a result of the exchange.

Accepted Answer

When a long-term operating asset is exchanged for another, a gain or loss may be recognized if the fair value of the asset received differs from the carrying amount of the asset given up.

Question 17

Average age of a company's long-term operating assets is computed as ________.

Accepted Answer

The average age of a company's long-term operating assets is calculated by dividing the accumulated depreciation by the depreciation expense, which gives an estimate of how many years the assets have been depreciating.

Question 18

U.S. GAAP requires significant disclosures for goodwill, including all of the following except ________.

Accepted Answer

Under U.S. GAAP, goodwill is not amortized but is instead tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that it might be impaired. Therefore, there is no requirement to disclose goodwill amortization.

\hline
\end{array}$$
 What is the average remaining life of the company's fixed assets as of the end of 2019? (Round your answer to two decimal places, X.XX.)

Accepted Answer

The average remaining life of fixed assets is calculated as (Ending Gross Fixed Assets - Ending Accumulated Depreciation) / Current-year Depreciation Expense. For 2019, it is (2,680,000 - (1,110,000 + 250,000)) / 250,000 = 5.28.

Question 20

The average remaining life of a company's assets is computed as the balance of ending net fixed assets divided by depreciation expense.

Accepted Answer

The average remaining life of a company's assets is calculated by dividing the net fixed assets by the annual depreciation expense, which gives an estimate of how many years the assets will last.
