Answer:

b) 6824 units

Explanation:

According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:-  

Assume volume of unit = x  

Cash flow = profit × volume per unit

                 = $6.70 × x

                  = $6.70x

= Cash flow × Present value of annuity factor(15%, 6 year) - initial investment

=$6.70x × Present value of annuity factor(15%, 6 year) - $173,000  

=$6.70x × 3.7845 - $173,000

=$25.36x - $173,000

X = $173,000 ÷ 25.36

= 6,821.76 units

The minimum volume of sales for the project to break even is 6,821.76 units

Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

At the end of March, Paul’s Painting hired five temporary employees to work on a project that began on April 5 and ended on April 28. Paul’s received 100% of the total payment for the project on May 3. In this situation, both cash basis accounting and GAAP require that Paul’s recognize the employees’ total salary expense in April.

Explanation:

A collection of accounting rules and standards usually followed, for financial reporting is known as GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) .

For businesses, GAAP needs accrual accounting.

Accrual accounting operates on the basis of matching both revenue and expenses. Revenues and the related expenses occur concurrently, though the cash transaction concerning thereto might happen in some other period.

In the situation given in the question, the revenue from the project is earned in April, subsequently, the salary expense related to that work should also be recognized in the same period due to an accrual basis.

The cost constraint suggests that, even when the cost of providing accounting information exceeds its benefit, the financial acc
Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

The GAAP established that when the benefits of obtaining accounting information are lower than the costs of providing that information, the information should not be provided.

For example, sometimes there are very small differences in certain accounts that don't allow a balance sheet to be balanced. If the accounting error is very small, e.g. just a few hundred dollars, then it is not reasonable to have a whole audit team check all the financial statements again to determine what caused the error. An adjusting entry could be made to close the account balances.

Imagine you are an auditor that must check the physical inventory of a factory and some boxes containing supplies are misplaced. It might take you a whole day to count again all the supplies and materials, but is it worth it? If the supplies were really expensive, probably yes, but if they were cheap components, then probably no.
