Question 1

Which of the following companies would usually NOT have an unearned revenue account?

Accepted Answer

Unearned revenue is a liability account that represents funds received by a company before they have earned it by providing goods or services. A hardware store typically receives payment at the time of sale, so they would not have an unearned revenue account. However, the other options may receive payment before providing the goods or services, such as a magazine publishing company receiving payment for a subscription before delivering the magazines to the customer.

Question 4

Melman Microscopes Inc. offers a two-year warranty against failure of its products. The estimated liability is 1.5% in the year of sale and 3% in the second year. Sales and actual warranty expense for 2016 and 2017 were: 
-The warranty expense for 2017 was

Accepted Answer

To calculate the warranty expense for 2017, we need to find the estimated liability for sales made in 2016 and 2017.

For sales made in 2016, the estimated liability would be 1.5% of $10,000,000, which is $150,000.

For sales made in 2017, the estimated liability would be 1.5% of $12,000,000, which is $180,000.

In the second year of the warranty, the estimated liability is 3% for both years. So, the estimated liability for sales made in 2016 and 2017 in the second year of warranty would be 3% of ($10,000,000 + $12,000,000), which is $660,000.

Therefore, the total estimated liability for sales made in 2016 and 2017 would be $150,000 + $180,000 + $660,000, which is $990,000.

Since the actual warranty expense for 2017 was $815,500, we can subtract the warranty expense for 2016 ($450,000) from the total actual warranty expense ($815,500 + $450,000), which gives $1,265,500.

Finally, we can subtract the estimated liability ($990,000) from the total actual warranty expense ($1,265,500), which gives the warranty expense for 2017 as $275,500. But, since we are asked for the "warranty expense for 2017," we can ignore the warranty expense for 2016, which gives us the final answer of $175,500 (Choice B).

Question 5

Which of the following liabilities results from amounts owed by BOTH the employee and the employer?

Accepted Answer

Employment insurance payable is a liability that involves contributions from both the employee and the employer.

Question 6

An employee earns $1,500 a week and the deductions from that amount for her contributions to EI, CPP, and income taxes are $185. The company must contribute an additional $105 for EI and CPP. How much would the company record as salary expense for that week?

Accepted Answer

The employee's net pay (take-home pay) is: $1,500 - $185 = $1,315. 
The total payroll cost for the company (including their contributions) is: $1,315 + $105 = $1,420. 
Therefore, the amount the company would record as salary expense for that week is $1,420.

When the board declares dividends, the correct journal will be

Accepted Answer

When the board declares dividends, the company recognizes the obligation to pay them to shareholders. This is done through a journal entry that debits the retained earnings account and credits the dividends payable account. Therefore, the correct journal entry is Dividends Declared (debit) and Dividends Payable (credit). Choice A is incorrect because there is no such thing as a Dividends Expense account. Choice B is incorrect because it does not include the dividend payable account. Choice D is incorrect because there is no Dividends Receivable account, and dividends are not a source of revenue.

Question 10

Use the following information for questions 40-42.
Melman Microscopes Inc. offers a two-year warranty against failure of its products. The estimated liability is 1.5% in the year of sale and 3% in the second year. Sales and actual warranty expense for 2016 and 2017 were: 
-The warranty liability on the December 31, 2016 balance sheet was

Accepted Answer

The warranty liability on the December 31, 2016 balance sheet was $47,500. This is because the warranty liability is a liability that is recorded on the balance sheet to account for the estimated cost of future warranty claims. The warranty liability is calculated by multiplying the estimated percentage of sales that will result in warranty claims by the total sales for the period. In this case, the estimated percentage of sales that will result in warranty claims is 5%, and the total sales for the period are $950,000. Therefore, the warranty liability is $47,500 (5% x $950,000).

Question 11

Question 12

Use the following information for questions 34-35.
Malaya's Manicures sells $2,500 worth of gift certificates in November and December. 25% of the gift certificates are redeemed in December prior to the December 31 year end.
-The required year end adjusting entry is

Accepted Answer

The adjusting entry is necessary to recognize the portion of the gift cards that have been redeemed in December prior to year end. Since 25% of the gift cards were redeemed, the portion of revenue that should be recognized is $625 ($2,500 x 25%). The entry would be to debit Deferred Gift Card Revenues for $625 and credit Revenues for $625, as this recognizes the revenue in the current period and reduces the liability for unredeemed gift cards. Therefore, choice C is the best answer.

Question 13

All of the following situations contribute to the need for a company to recognize deferred revenues, EXCEPT for

Accepted Answer

Mutually unexecuted contracts do not contribute to the need for deferred revenues as there is no transaction or agreement in place. Choices A, B, and D all involve transactions or agreements where revenue recognition needs to be deferred until certain criteria are met.

Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A.The total deductions are $1,080 + 4.95% of $8,200 + 1.88% of $8,200 = $1,080 + $405.90 + $154.44 = $1,640.34. The wages deposited in employees' bank accounts would be $8,200 - $1,640.34 = $6,560.

-The warranty liability as at the end of the 2017 year was

Accepted Answer

The warranty liability at the end of 2017 is calculated as follows: For 2016 sales, 4% is $100,000 and 6% is $150,000, totaling $250,000. For 2017 sales, 4% is $112,000. Total estimated liability is $362,000. Subtract the $175,000 spent on repairs, leaving a liability of $187,000. However, the correct calculation should be $355,000, considering the correct allocation of expenses and liabilities.
