<u>An </u><u>auditor </u><u>should perform alternative procedures to substantiate the existence of accounts receivable when </u><u>no reply to a</u><u> positive </u><u>confirmation </u><u>request</u><u> is received.</u>

<u></u>

<u>What procedure you would perform to test the existence of receivables?</u>

The primary test that can be performed is to obtain the aged trial balance of receivables and trace the total balance to the general ledger. This provides the auditor comfort that all outstanding receivables are included in the financial statements.

<u></u>

<u>How to Audit Accounts Receivable</u>

  • Trace receivable report to general ledger.
  • Calculate the receivable report total.
  • Investigate reconciling items.
  • Test invoices listed in receivable report.
  • Match invoices to shipping log.
  • Confirm accounts receivable.
  • Review cash receipts.
  • Assess the allowance for doubtful accounts.

When Should auditors not perform alternative procedures?

  • Auditors must maintain control of confirmations until they are returned from the customer.
  • When a customer does not return an accounts receivable confirmation, it is acceptable, without performing alternative procedures, to assume the amount is 100% overstated when generalizing from the sample to the population.

Amster Corporation has not yet decided on the required rate of return to use in its capital budgeting. This lack of information
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The answer is D - No,Yes, No

Explanation:

The payback period is the time it will take the company to recover the initial investment given the estimated cash-flows over the life of the project. This payback period can be calculate even when the company does not yet know the required rate of return to use in its capital budgeting.

Net Present value is the sum of the discounted cash-flows over the life of the project, including the initial outlay. In order to calculate the discounted cash-flows, the required rate of return must be known, and therefore without it, the net present value of the project cannot be calculated.

The internal rate of return  is the rate that equates the sum of the discounted cash-flows to zero. In other words, irrespective of what the required rate of return is, one can calculate this rate that would result in a net present value of zero from the given initial outlay and  cash-flows expected over the life of the project.

Mike Village sold $1,000,000 of general obligation bonds on October 1, 2018, maturing at the rate of $100,000 every 6 months sta
Bad White [126]

Answer:

Accrued expense means the expense which has been incurred and recorded in the financial statement during the accounting period but payment for the same has not been made.

Stub period means the period in which the interest due on the bonds is not equivalent to interest as per interest cycle .

Explanation:

Part A)

No interest is matured during 2018 and hence, no expense will be    recorded in fund statement of revenue, expenditures, and changes in fund balances for the year 2018.

Compute interest for the year ended on December 31, 2019:  

By adding the interest due on $1,000,000 principal at the rate of 4% for six months and interest due on $900,000 principal at the rate of 4% for six months, the total expenditure can be calculated as follows:

Interest expenditure = ($1, 000, 000 x 4% x 0.5) + ($900,000 x 4% x 0.5)

= $20, 000 + $18, 000  

= $38, 000  

$20,000 represents interest on $1,000,000 for half the year and $18,000 represents interest on amount computed after deducting first maturity of $100,000, computed for half of the year.  

Hence, for the year ending December 31, 2019 M will report 1$38,000 as interest expenditure in  

Its fund statement of revenues, expenditure and changes in fund balance.

Part B)

Compute interest expenditure that M will report in its government-wide statement of activities for the year ended December 31, 2018 and 2019:

For the year ended December 31, 2018

Interest due on the principal of $1,000,000 at the rate of 4% for three months:

Interest expenditure = [$1,000,000 x 4% x 0.25]

= $10,000

Hence, for the year ending December 31, 2018 M will report 10,000 as interest expenditure in its wide statement of activities.

For the year ended December 31, 2019:

By adding the interest due on $1,000,000 principal at the rate of 4% for three months and interest due on $900,000 principal at the rate of 4% for six months, the total expenditure can be calculated as follows:

Interest expenditure = [($1,000,000 x 4% x 0.25) + ($900,000 x 4% x 0.5) + ($800,000 x 4% x0.25)]

= $10,000 + $18000 + $8,000

= $36,000

$900,000 is computed by reducing the first maturity of $100,000 due on April 1, 2019 and $800,000 is computed by reducing the second maturity of $100,000 due on September 30, 2019.

$10,000 is computed for the period January 1, 2019 to March 30, 2019 and $18,000 is computed for 6 months period from April 1, 2019 to September 30, 2019. $8000 is computed for the period October 01, 2019 to December 31, 2019.

Hence, for the year ending December 31, 2019 M will report 36,000 as interest expenditure in its government-wide statement of activities.

Part C)

Prepare journal entries required to adjust fund financial statements so that government-wide statements:

Date Account Title                               Debit               Credit

               Net Position                                   10000

                   Accrued interest payable                                 10000

        Accrued interest payable            2000

                   Interest expense                                                 2000

 

Accrued interest payable is a liability account having a credit balance, to record increase in interest payable, its account is credited. Interest payable for the period October 31 to December 31, 2018 increases the balance of accrued interest payable balance and hence, its account is credited with $10,000.

Interest expense is an expense account with debit nature balance, to record decrease in expense, its account is credited. Hence, to record the net effect of interest payable computed as the difference between balance of $10,000 outstanding at the end of 2018 and $8,000 outstanding at the end of 2019, the interest expense is credited.

Complete the explanation of how polygenic inheritance could be the basis of a trait showing continuous phenotypic variation.
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

Additive; continuous; homozygous; homozygous.

Explanation:

The variation in weight in a population may be explained by the segregation of 10 genes that control weight in a simple <u>additive</u> genetic fashion, the distribution will be<u> continuous</u> from the lowest value <u>homozygous</u> for one allele at all 10 genes to the highest value <u>homozygous</u> for the other allele at all 10 genes.

Continuous phenotypic variation can be caused by many genes affecting a trait and/or environmental variation.
