Question 1

The entry to record the issuance of a note for cash was recorded with a debit to Cash and a credit to Notes Receivable.The effect of recording this entry causes:
A) assets to be understated.
B) liabilities to be overstated .
C) stockholders' equity to be understated.
D) stockholders' equity to be overstated.

Accepted Answer

The issuance of a note for cash results in an increase in both assets (Notes Receivable) and liabilities (the obligation to repay the note). However, the entry recorded debited Cash, which means that the company received cash and recognized an increase in its assets. Since the credit was made to Notes Receivable, this account increased and correctly reflects the additional liability of the note. Therefore, this entry correctly reflects the transaction and does not cause any overstatement or understatement in stockholders' equity. However, if the company had mistakenly debited Notes Receivable instead of Cash, then stockholders' equity would have been overstated.

Question 7

The Payroll records of Oregon Mist contained the following information for the month of November:

The journal entry to record the monthly Payroll Tax Expense would include a:
A) debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $25,200.
B) credit to FICA Taxes Payable of $43,400.
C) debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $48,650.
D) debit to Payroll Tax Expense of $26,950.

Accepted Answer

The monthly Payroll Tax Expense is the total amount of all the payroll taxes owed by the employer, which in this case is the sum of FICA Taxes, Federal Unemployment Tax (FUTA), and State Unemployment Tax (SUTA).

To calculate the Payroll Tax Expense, we need to add up the amounts of FICA Taxes, FUTA, and SUTA given in the payroll records:

FICA Taxes = $43,400
FUTA = $25,200 x 0.6% = $151.20
SUTA = $25,200 x 2.7% = $680.40

Payroll Tax Expense = FICA Taxes + FUTA + SUTA = $43,400 + $151.20 + $680.40 = $44,231.60

So the journal entry to record the Payroll Tax Expense would be:

Debit Payroll Tax Expense $26,950 
Credit FICA Taxes Payable $43,400 
Credit FUTA Payable $151.20
Credit SUTA Payable $680.40

B) $6,700 debit to FICA Payable.
C) $100,000 debit to Salaries and Wages Expense.
D) $70,000 debit to Salaries and Wages Expense.

Accepted Answer

The journal entry to record wages paid would include a debit to Salaries and Wages Expense for the gross earnings of $100,000, and credits to several accounts including Salaries and Wages Payable, FICA Payable, Federal Income Tax Payable, and State Income Tax Payable for the amount of each respective deduction. Therefore, choice C) is the correct answer as it reflects the debit to Salaries and Wages Expense. Choices A) and B) are incorrect as they do not reflect the entire transaction, and choice D) is incorrect as it only accounts for the net pay after deductions.

Question 11

The following 12%,$1,000 notes were issued on December 1.Which of the following is the correct method of calculation for the interest accrued as of December 31 of the same year on each of the notes described?
A) Interest on a 4-month note is calculated as: $1,000 x 12% x 1/12.
B) Interest on a 3-month note is calculated as: $1,000 x 12% x 1/3.
C) Interest on a 4-month note is calculated as: $1,000 x 12% x 1/4.
D) Interest on a 2-year note is calculated as: $1,000 x 12% x 1/24.

Accepted Answer

The correct method of calculation for interest accrued on a note is to multiply the principal amount by the interest rate and the time period for which the interest is being calculated.

For a 4-month note, the time period for which the interest is being calculated is 1/3 of a year (4 months is 1/3 of a year). Therefore, the correct calculation for the interest accrued as of December 31 is:

$1,000 x 12% x 1/3 = $40
