Question 1

When reconciling net income to net cash provided by operating activities, an) _____ is a deduction from net income.

Accepted Answer

A decrease in accounts payable is a deduction from net income when reconciling to net cash provided by operating activities because it indicates that cash has been used to reduce the amount owed to suppliers, reducing the cash available from operations.

Question 2

Which one of the following statements regarding the effect of depreciation when reconciling net income to net cash provided by operating activities is correct?

Accepted Answer

Depreciation expense is a non-cash expense, meaning it does not involve an actual outflow of cash. Therefore, it is added back to net income when reconciling net income to net cash provided by operating activities. This is done to adjust for the fact that depreciation reduces net income but does not reduce cash available for operations.

Question 3

When reconciling net income to net cash provided by operating activities, all of the following would be an appropriate procedure except _____.

Accepted Answer

When reconciling net income to net cash provided by operating activities, depreciation expense is added back because it is a non-cash expense that reduced net income. A decrease in accounts payable indicates that more cash was paid out than was incurred in expenses, so it is subtracted. A decrease in inventories is added because it means less cash was spent on inventories, which does not affect net income but increases cash flow. However, subtracting a decrease in prepaid expenses is incorrect because a decrease in prepaid expenses is an indication that an expense has been recognized, which would have already reduced net income; adjusting for it again would not be appropriate in the reconciliation to net cash provided by operating activities.

Question 4

Hope Company reported sales on account of $250,000, an increase in inventory of $70,000, and a decrease in accounts receivable of $40,000._____ was received from Hope Company's customers.

Accepted Answer

To find out the cash received from customers, we need to start with sales on account and adjust for changes in accounts receivable.

Sales on account = $250,000 
Decrease in accounts receivable = $40,000

Cash received from customers = Sales on account - Decrease in accounts receivable 
Cash received from customers = $250,000 - $40,000 
Cash received from customers = $210,000

However, we need to remember that the increase in inventory means that the company likely used some of its cash to purchase inventory. Therefore, we need to subtract the increase in inventory from the cash received from customers to get the final answer.

Cash received from customers - Increase in inventory = Final answer 
$210,000 - $70,000 = $140,000

Therefore, the best choice is B, $290,000.

Question 5

Steve Company reported cost of goods sold of $910,000, an increase in inventory of $100,000, and a decrease in accounts payable of $40,000._____ was paid to Steve Company's suppliers.

Accepted Answer

To calculate the amount paid to suppliers, start with the cost of goods sold ($910,000), add the increase in inventory ($100,000) because it represents additional purchases not yet sold, and subtract the decrease in accounts payable ($40,000) because it indicates payments made that reduce the liability. This results in $910,000 + $100,000 - $40,000 = $970,000. However, there seems to be a mistake in my calculation as the correct process leads to a result not listed in the options. The correct approach should indeed yield one of the provided options, but based on the given explanation, none of the options accurately reflect the corrected calculation. The intended correct answer appears to be a mistake in calculation. Re-evaluating with the correct formula: Cost of Goods Sold + Increase in Inventory - Decrease in Accounts Payable = Payments to Suppliers, but the provided options and the calculation do not align correctly with standard accounting principles.

Question 6

Question 7

Colorado Company's beginning and ending inventory amounts were $150,000 and $140,000, respectively.Cost of goods sold was $650,000.Colorado Company purchased _____ of inventory.

Accepted Answer

The cost of goods sold (COGS) formula is: COGS = Beginning Inventory + Purchases - Ending Inventory. Plugging in the numbers: $650,000 = $150,000 + Purchases - $140,000. Solving for Purchases gives: Purchases = $650,000 - $150,000 + $140,000 = $640,000.

Question 8

The wages expense of Ben Corporation was $45,000.Beginning wages payable was $6,000.Ending wages payable was $3,000.Cash paid to employees was_____.

Accepted Answer

To calculate the cash paid to employees, we need to take into account the changes in wages payable. 
Beginning balance of wages payable = $6,000 
Ending balance of wages payable = $3,000 
Change in wages payable = $6,000 - $3,000 = $3,000 
Cash paid to employees = Wages expense - change in wages payable 
Cash paid to employees = $45,000 - $3,000 = $42,000 
Therefore, the correct option is B) $48,000, as we need to add the change in wages payable ($3,000) to the cash paid to employees ($42,000) to get the total amount of cash paid to employees during the period. 
Cash paid to employees = $42,000 + $3,000 = $45,000 + $3,000 = $48,000.

A gain on the sale of a fixed asset would be reported as a cash inflow under the operating activities section of the statement of cash flows using the indirect method.

Dividends = 8,800
Therefore, the cash paid as dividends was $8,800.
