Question 1

A company reported an increase in accounts receivable and an increase in unearned sales revenues during 2014. Which of the following statements is correct?
A) Cash collected from customers equals sales revenues plus both the increase in accounts receivable and the increase in unearned sales revenues.
B) Cash collected from customers equals sales revenues minus both the increase in accounts receivable and the increase in unearned sales revenues.
C)Cash collected from customers equals sales revenues plus the increase in accounts receivable, minus the increase in unearned sales revenues.
D)Cash collected from customers equals sales revenues minus the increase in accounts receivable, plus the increase in unearned sales revenues.

Accepted Answer

Cash collected from customers is calculated by adjusting sales revenues for changes in accounts receivable and unearned sales revenues. An increase in accounts receivable means less cash was collected than sales made, so it is subtracted. An increase in unearned sales revenues means cash was collected in advance, so it is added.

Question 2

Bold Company's 2014 income statement reported total sales revenue of $250,000. During 2014, accounts receivable decreased by $20,000 and accounts payable increased $10,000. How much cash was collected from customers during 2014?
A) $230,000.
B) $270,000.
C)$250,000.
D)$280,000.

Accepted Answer

The decrease in accounts receivable indicates that more cash was collected than the sales revenue reported. Therefore, cash collected = Sales revenue + Decrease in accounts receivable = $250,000 + $20,000 = $270,000. The change in accounts payable does not affect cash collected from customers.

Question 3

KAJ Incorporated purchased a machine costing $250,000 by paying $35,000 cash and signing a $215,000 note payable. How would this transaction be reported within the cash flow from financing activities section of the cash flow statement?
A) An inflow of $215,000.
B) An outflow of $215,000.
C)An outflow of $35,000.
D)It would not be reported in the financing activities section.

Accepted Answer

The transaction involves a cash outflow of $35,000, which is reported in the investing activities section, and the note payable is a non-cash financing activity, so it is not reported in the financing activities section.

Question 4

Amanda Company reported income tax expense of $250,000. Beginning income taxes payable was $30,000, while ending income taxes payable was $25,000, and accounts payable decreased $10,000. How much cash was paid for taxes?
A) $280,000.
B) $255,000.
C)$245,000.
D)$265,000.

Accepted Answer

The cash paid for taxes can be calculated by adjusting the income tax expense for the change in income taxes payable. The calculation is as follows: Income tax expense ($250,000) + Decrease in income taxes payable ($30,000 - $25,000 = $5,000) = Cash paid for taxes ($250,000 + $5,000 = $255,000). The change in accounts payable is not relevant to the calculation of cash paid for taxes.

Question 5

Slipper Company sold a productive asset, a machine, for cash. It originally cost Slipper $20,000. The accumulated depreciation at the date of disposal was $15,000. A gain on the disposal of $2,000 was reported. What was the asset's selling price?

Question 6

Which of the following would not be reported as a financing activities cash flow?
A) Issuing common stock for cash.
B) Cash dividend payments.
C)Purchasing treasury stock.
D)Purchase of a building by signing a note payable.

Accepted Answer

Purchasing a building by signing a note payable would be reported as a cash flow from investing activities, not financing activities. Financing activities involve transactions related to raising or repaying capital, while investing activities involve transactions related to purchasing or selling long-term assets. Issuing common stock for cash, cash dividend payments, and purchasing treasury stock would be reported as financing activities cash flows.

Question 8

During 2014, Tommy's Toys reported the following: long-term debt repayments, $503 million; interest paid, $143 million; proceeds from exercise of stock options, $27 million, and issue of common stock in exchange for land costing $10 million. What is the 2014 net cash flow from financing activities?
A) $476 million net cash outflow.
B) $530 million net cash outflow.
C)$673 million net cash outflow.
D)$76 million net cash outflow.

Accepted Answer

Net cash flow from financing activities is calculated as: long-term debt repayments ($503 million) + interest paid ($143 million) - proceeds from exercise of stock options ($27 million) = $619 million net cash outflow. However, the issue of common stock in exchange for land is a non-cash transaction and does not affect cash flow. Therefore, the net cash outflow is $476 million.

Question 9

KAJ Incorporated purchased a machine costing $250,000 by paying $35,000 and signing a $215,000 note payable. How would this transaction be reported within the cash flow from investing activities section of the cash flow statement?
A) An outflow of $250,000.
B) An outflow of $215,000.
C)An outflow of $35,000.
D)It would not be reported in the investing activities section of the cash flow statement.

Accepted Answer

The cash paid of $35,000 is reported as an outflow in the investing activities section of the cash flow statement. The note payable is reported as a financing activity. Therefore, the total cash outflow of $250,000 is divided between investing and financing activities.

A) Sale of a depreciable asset for cash.
B) Purchasing land in exchange for common stock.
C)Selling a long-term investment at a loss for cash.
D)Purchase of a patent in exchange for cash.

Accepted Answer

Purchasing land in exchange for common stock is not reported as a cash flow from investing activities because it is a non-cash transaction where two assets are being exchanged instead of cash being received or paid out. A) Sale of a depreciable asset for cash is reported as a cash inflow from investing activities. C) Selling a long-term investment at a loss for cash is reported as a cash outflow from investing activities. D) Purchase of a patent in exchange for cash is reported as a cash outflow from investing activities.

Question 13

Aaron Inc. reported operating expenses during 2015 of $765,000 (including $80,000 of depreciation expense). Prepaid expenses increased $25,000 while accrued liabilities increased $43,000. How much cash was paid for operating expenses during 2015?
A) $702,000.
B) $622,000.
C)$667,000.
D)$703,000.

Accepted Answer

To find the cash paid for operating expenses, adjust the reported operating expenses for changes in prepaid expenses and accrued liabilities. Start with the reported operating expenses of $765,000, subtract the increase in prepaid expenses of $25,000 (since this represents cash paid but not yet expensed), and subtract the increase in accrued liabilities of $43,000 (since this represents expenses incurred but not yet paid). Therefore, the cash paid for operating expenses is $765,000 - $25,000 - $43,000 = $697,000. However, since depreciation is a non-cash expense, it should be added back: $697,000 + $80,000 = $667,000.

Question 14

Halbur Company reported the following for its recent year of operation: $\begin{array}{lr}
\text { From the income statement: } \
\text { Depreciation expense } & \$ 1,000 \
\text { Loss on sale of equipment } & 3,000\
\text { From the comparative balance sheet: } & \
\text { Beginning balance, equipment } & \$ 12,500 \
\text { Ending balance, equipment } & 8,000 \
\text { Beginning balance, accumulated depreciation } & 2,000 \
\text { Ending balance, accumulated depreciation } & 2,400
\end{array}$ No new equipment was purchased during the year. What was the selling price of the equipment?
A) $3,900.
B) $1,000.
C)$900.
D)$600.

Accepted Answer

The equipment's book value at the time of sale was $8,100 ($12,500 - $2,000 - $1,000). The loss on sale was $3,000, so the selling price was $8,100 - $3,000 = $5,100. The ending balance of equipment is $8,000, so the equipment sold was $4,500 ($12,500 - $8,000). Therefore, the selling price was $900 ($5,100 - $4,500).

C)Using the indirect method, net income is decreased by the $10,000 gain on the sale of the equipment.
D)A $60,000 cash inflow is reported from the equipment sale.

Accepted Answer

The sale of equipment resulted in a $50,000 cash inflow ($60,000 cash inflow from the sale minus $10,000 gain), not a $30,000 cash inflow as stated in option A. All other statements are correct.

Question 20

A company reported an increase in prepaid rent and an increase in accrued liabilities during 2014. Which of the following statements is correct?
A) When determining cash paid for operating expenses, both the increase in prepaid rent and the increase in accrued liabilities are subtracted from operating expenses.
B) When determining cash paid for operating expenses, both the increase in prepaid rent and the increase in accrued liabilities are added to operating expenses.
C)When determining cash paid for operating expenses, the increase in prepaid rent is added to operating expenses and the increase in accrued liabilities is subtracted from operating expenses.
D)When determining cash paid for operating expenses, the increase in prepaid rent is subtracted from operating expenses and the increase in accrued liabilities is added to operating expenses.

Accepted Answer

When prepaid rent increases, it means that the company paid in advance for rent expenses that will be recognized as an expense in future periods. Therefore, the increase in prepaid rent should be subtracted from operating expenses to determine cash paid for operating expenses.
On the other hand, when accrued liabilities increase, it means that the company incurred expenses but had not yet paid for them. Therefore, the increase in accrued liabilities should be subtracted from operating expenses to determine cash paid for operating expenses.
Therefore, the increase in prepaid rent is added to operating expenses, and the increase in accrued liabilities is subtracted from operating expenses. Hence, choice C is correct.
