How is a Trial Balance used?

Business
1 answer:
Sloan [31]1 year ago
3 0

In order to create balance sheets and other financial accounts, trial balances are a crucial document for auditors. To identify any accounting problems, a trial balance is performed to ensure that the general ledger accounts' debit and credit column totals match.

<h3>What purpose does a trial balance serve?</h3>

Any mathematical mistakes that have occurred in a double entry accounting system can be found using a trial balance. There shouldn't be any arithmetic errors in the ledgers if the sum of the debits and credits equals the total of the trial balance.

<h3>What exactly does a trial balance contain?</h3>

It varies. A trial balance can be used by businesses to monitor their financial status, and they may create multiple different types of trial balances over the course of the fiscal year.  All of the significant accounting items, including as assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, gains, and losses, may be included in a trial balance.

You want to buy a house that costs $140,000. You have $14,000 for a down payment, but your credit is such that mortgage companie
rodikova [14]

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Explanation:

Given the following :

Cost of house = $140,000

Down payment = $14000

Take back mortgage = 126000 = PV

Rate (r) = 5%

Yearly payment one can afford = 22000

a. If the loan was amortized over 3 years, how large would each annual payment be? Could you afford those payments?

Number of period = 3

Using the relation:

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-3

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.8638375)

PMT = 46,268.23

He won't be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is larger than the affordable amount of $22000

b. If the loan was amortized over 30 years, what would each payment be? Could you afford those payments?

PMT = r(PV) / 1 - (1 + r)^-n

PMT = 0.05(126000) / 1 - 1.05^-30

PMT = 6300 / (1-0.2313774)

PMT = 8196.48

He would be able to afford it, as the monthly payment is lower than the affordable amount of $22000

c. To satisfy the seller, the 30-year mortgage loan would be written as a balloon note, which means that at the end of the third year, you would have to make the regular payment plus the remaining balance on the loan. What would the loan balance be at the end of Year 3, and what would the balloon payment be?

Present value of remaining balance after the 3rd year:

Present Value (PV) = PMT[(1 - (1 + r)^-n) / r]

Where

PMT = periodic payment = 8196.48

r = Interest rate = 5% = 0.05

n = number of periods = 30 - 3 = 27

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1 + 0.05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[(1 - (1. 05)^-27) / 0.05]

PV = 8196.48[0.7321516 / 0.05]

PV = 120,021.32

Balloon payment :

120,021.32 + 8196.48 = 128,217.80

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

C. Create a rotating assignment so each team member shares note taking.

Explanation:

In the case noted in the question above, there is a situation that could be unpleasant if it were decided by some type of bias.

Therefore, the most appropriate alternative for the team to address this situation would be to create a rotating assignment for each team member to share the notes. This way it would not happen that a team member is always chosen to perform a task that causes dissatisfaction in the whole team. Creating a rotating assignment to carry out the task would guarantee the uniformity of the task assignment and avoid possible dissatisfactions, inequalities and interpersonal conflicts that could arise.
