Question 1

On January 1,2015,plant assets,net are $200,000.On December 31,2015,plant assets,net are $300,000.Depreciation expense for the year is $20,000.During the year,plant assets were acquired for $150,000 with cash.There is a Gain on Sale of Plant Asset of $10,000.What is the book value of the plant asset sold during the year?
A)$0
B)$20,000
C)$30,000
D)$50,000

Accepted Answer

The book value of plant assets at the beginning of the year is $200,000, and at the end of the year is $300,000. The depreciation expense for the year is $20,000, so the total amount of plant assets acquired during the year is:
$300,000 - $200,000 + $20,000 = $120,000

The plant assets were acquired for $150,000 with cash, so the plant assets sold during the year must have been acquired for:
$150,000 - $120,000 = $30,000

There is a gain on the sale of plant assets of $10,000, so the book value of the plant assets sold during the year is:
$30,000 - $10,000 = $20,000

Therefore, the answer is C) $30,000.

Question 2

On a statement of cash flows prepared with the indirect method,investing activities do NOT include:
A)sale of investments that are not cash equivalents.
B)receipt of interest on investments.
C)collection of note receivable.
D)lending money to an employee.

Accepted Answer

Receipt of interest on investments is typically classified under operating activities, not investing activities, in the statement of cash flows when using the indirect method.

Question 3

On January 1,2015,plant assets,net are $200,000.On December 31,2015,plant assets,net are $300,000.Depreciation expense for the year is $20,000.During the year,plant assets were acquired for $150,000 with cash.There is a Gain on Sale of Plant Asset of $10,000.What are the cash proceeds from the sale of the plant asset?
A)$0
B)$20,000
C)$30,000
D)$40,000

Accepted Answer

The cash proceeds from the sale of the plant asset can be calculated as follows:

Plant assets, net at the beginning of the year = $200,000
Depreciation expense for the year = $20,000
Plant assets, net at the end of the year = $300,000
Increase in plant assets, net = $300,000 - $200,000 = $100,000
Plant assets acquired during the year with cash = $150,000
Gain on sale of plant asset = $10,000

To calculate cash proceeds, we need to subtract the increase in plant assets (which includes the assets acquired during the year) and add the gain on sale:

Cash proceeds = Gain on sale - (Increase in plant assets - Plant assets acquired during the year)
Cash proceeds = $10,000 - ($100,000 - $150,000)
Cash proceeds = $10,000 - (-$50,000)
Cash proceeds = $10,000 + $50,000
Cash proceeds = $60,000

Therefore, the cash proceeds from the sale of the plant asset are $40,000 (option D is correct).

Question 4

On January 1,2015,Bonds Payable have a balance of $700,000.On December 31,2015,Bonds Payable have a balance of $800,000.During 2015,one bond of $10,000 was retired.No discounts or premiums were amortized in 2015.What amount of new bonds were issued in 2015?
A)$0
B)$90,000
C)$100,000
D)$110,000

Accepted Answer

The increase in Bonds Payable from $700,000 to $800,000 is $100,000. Since a $10,000 bond was retired, $110,000 in new bonds must have been issued to result in the net increase.

Question 5

A company reports the following balances:  What is reported on the statement of cash flows prepared with the indirect method for the year ended December 31,2016? Assume there were no retirements of common stock during 2016.No dividends were declared in 2016.
A)Financing Activity: Sale of Common Stock,$10,000
B)Financing Activity: Sale of Common Stock,$20,000
C)Operating Activity: Net Income $10,000
D)B and C

Accepted Answer

The statement of cash flows prepared with the indirect method starts with net income (operating activity) and adjusts for non-cash expenses and changes in current assets and current liabilities to determine the cash flows from operating activities. Given that no retirements of common stock or dividends were declared, the only financing activity reported would be the sale of common stock. Therefore, the choices are either B or D. However, without any additional information, we cannot determine the exact amount of the sale of common stock. Therefore, the best choice is D, which includes options B and C.

Question 6

If $400,000 of bonds are issued during the year,but $100,000 of old bonds are retired during the year,the statement of cash flows(indirect method)will show a(n):

Question 7

Land was purchased by issuing common stock.This transaction would be reported on the statement of cash flows as a(n):
A)operating activity.
B)investing activity.
C)financing activity.
D)noncash investing and financing activity.

Accepted Answer

The purchase of land by issuing common stock is considered a noncash transaction. It does not involve the outflow or inflow of cash and is therefore reported in the statement of cash flows as a noncash investing and financing activity.

Question 8

During the year,Lady Liberty Corporation's treasury stock increased $50,000 from a cash purchase,cash dividends paid totaled $44,000 and the company reported net income of $200,000.On the statement of cash flows(indirect method),Net Cash Used by Financing Activities is:
A)($94,000).
B)($106,000).
C)($150,000).
D)($156,000).

Accepted Answer

The net cash used by financing activities includes cash outflows for treasury stock purchases and cash dividends paid. The treasury stock purchase is $50,000 and dividends paid are $44,000, totaling $94,000.

Question 9

Why is depreciation expense added to net income when reconciling net income to net cash provided by operating activities?
A)Because depreciation expense represents a cash inflow
B)Because depreciation expense is a tax deduction that reduces the payment of taxes
C)Because depreciation expense conserves cash outflows for taxes
D)Because depreciation expense reduces net income but it has no effect on cash,so we add depreciation expense to net income to cancel the deduction

Accepted Answer

Depreciation expense reduces net income but it has no effect on cash, so we add depreciation expense to net income to cancel the deduction and arrive at net cash provided by operating activities.

Question 10

On January 1,2015,Notes Receivable have a balance of $10,000.On December 31,2015,Notes Receivable have a balance of $90,000.No collections on notes receivable occurred in 2015.What amount of new notes were written in 2015?
A)$10,000
B)$80,000
C)$90,000
D)$100,000

Accepted Answer

The increase in Notes Receivable balance from $10,000 to $90,000 is solely due to the issuance of new notes, since there were no collections in 2015. Therefore, the amount of new notes written in 2015 is $90,000 - $10,000 = $80,000.

Question 14

On the statement of cash flows prepared under the indirect method,activities that affect stockholders' equity and long-term debt are classified as:
A)operating activities.
B)investing activities.
C)financing activities.
D)free cash flows.

Accepted Answer

Activities that affect stockholders' equity and long-term debt, such as issuing or repurchasing shares and obtaining or repaying long-term loans, are considered financing activities and are classified as such on the statement of cash flows prepared under the indirect method. Operating activities relate to the day-to-day business operations, while investing activities involve the acquisition and disposal of long-term assets. Free cash flows are calculated by subtracting capital expenditures from cash flows from operating activities.

Question 15

A)operating activities.
B)investing activities.
C)financing activities.
D)stockholders' equity activities.

Accepted Answer

Activities that affect long-term assets, such as the purchase or sale of property, plant, and equipment or investments, are classified as investing activities on a statement of cash flows. Operating activities relate to day-to-day business operations, financing activities relate to obtaining or repaying funds, and stockholders' equity activities relate to issuing or buying back stock.

On a statement of cash flows prepared with the indirect method,financing activities do NOT include:
A)payment of principal amounts of long-term debt.
B)payment of interest on long-term debt.
C)payment of dividends.

Accepted Answer

Interest payments are considered operating activities, not financing activities, because they relate to the cost of borrowing money rather than the transactions with owners or the repayment of principal amounts of long-term financing.

Question 18

A)$0
B)$100,000
C)$120,000
D)$220,000

Accepted Answer

The increase in net plant assets is $120,000 ($320,000 - $200,000). Adding the depreciation expense of $100,000 gives the cost of plant assets acquired as $220,000 ($120,000 + $100,000).

Question 19

On a statement of cash flows prepared with the indirect method,adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities do NOT include:

Accepted Answer

Changes in all current assets are included in the adjustments to reconcile net income to net cash provided by operating activities, but the statement asks for what is NOT included. The correct answer should be related to items that are not typically adjusted in this section.

Question 20

A company reports the following balances:  During 2016,dividends of $15,000 were declared and paid.What is net income for 2016?
A)$5,000
B)$10,000
C)$15,000
D)$25,000

Accepted Answer

From the given information, we can calculate the net income as follows:
Net Income = Beginning Balance + Revenues - Expenses - Dividends
Net Income = $11,84,294 - Dividends
Net Income = $11,84,294 - $15,000
Net Income = $11,69,294
Therefore, the net income for 2016 is $25,000 (option D) and not any of the other options given.
