Answer:

1. False

2. False

3. False

4. True

5. True

Explanation:

1.

Sarbanes-Oxley Act was a federal law that was established by congress to sweep auditing and financial statements for public companies. The main aim for this was to improve the investor confidence by improving reliability in accounting statements. Errors in the financial statements for the public companies were to be minimized following this law especially in the wake of numerous cases of corporate crime. This law was never passed to ensure that investors only invest in companies that will be profitable, since the choice of which company to invest in is exclusively left to the investor. So the above statement is false.

2.

Ethics can be defined as a set of rules and regulation that govern the moral behavior of someone. Ethical standards vary from one region to another since they are majorly cultural, for example; a behavior in the United States can be considered as appropriate while the same behavior in a different place can be inappropriate. Ethical standards are either right or wrong, and the actions are judged on these terms. Ethics don't measure whether a actions are loyal or disloyal, thus the statement is false.

3.

The primary accounting standard setting body in the United States is Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB). This body is charged with regulating and setting the best standard of accounting practice. The FASB usually constitutes a board whose officials are rigorously assessed. The board members have to be professionals in the field of accounting.  Securities and Exchange Commission on the other hand is an independent federal agency with the authority to enforce federal security laws. Thus the statement above is false.

4.

The historical cost principle suggests that the companies record assets cost at their original cost and continue to report them at their original cost over the time the asset is held. The historical cost principle is a generally accepted accounting principle that has been in use for a long time. The definition about the historical cost principle in the question above is therefor true.

5.

The monetary unit assumption dictates that business related activities be converted to monetary units. There are some business transactions that are however quite difficult to convert into monetary units, therefor the accountant in using this principle is only obliged to record only the transactions that can be measured in money terms. The statement about monetary units in the question above is thus true.

Pavlova-9 [17]

The number of bonds that GE must sell to net $190 million after flotation costs is 200,000 bonds.

<h3>Number of bonds</h3>

First step is to calculate the amount issue

Net proceeds = Amount of issue x (1 - Flotation costs)

$190,000,000 = Amount of issue x (1 - 0.05)

Amount of issue = $190,000,000/0.95

Amount of issue= $200,000,000

Second step is to calculate number of bonds

Number of bonds = $200,000,000/$1,000

Number of bonds= 200,000 bonds

Inconclusion the number of bonds that GE must sell to net $190 million after flotation costs is 200,000 bonds.

erastova [34]

Answer:

C. Ron’s basis in his stock is $27,000

Explanation:

Income recognized on services rendered $21,000

Add basis of $6,000

Ron stock basis $27,000

The property contributed by Ron is not considered insignificant compared to the value of the services he has rendered, which is why the entire contribution is counted as being for property.

Hence, the control requirement is satisfied and a valid § 351 transaction results. Ron’s stock basis is $27,000 [$6,000 (basis of cattle transferred) + $21,000 (income recognized on services rendered)]

You need some money today and the only friend you have that has any is your miserly friend. He agrees to loan you the money you
Serggg [28]

Answer:

The correct option is (b)

Explanation:

Given:

Monthly payment for 6 months = $30 per month

Time period = 6 month (6 periods)

Monthly interest rate = 2%

In order to compute borrowed amount, present value of these payments need to be computed which is an annuity as same amount of $30 is paid.

Checking PVIFA table for 2%, 6 periods, annuity factor is 5.6014.

Borrowed amount = Monthly payment × PVIFA(2%,6)

                            = 30 × 5.6014

                            = $168.042

Borrowed amount is $168.042 or $168.22 approximately (difference in value due to annuity factor being rounded off)

Donardo Inc. has some material that originally cost $68,400. The material has a scrap value of $30,100 as is, but if reworked at
lyudmila [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

For computing the incremental effect on the company's overall profit between reworking and selling the material rather than selling it as is as scrap, we have to do the comparison between these two.

The calculation is shown below:

= Scrap value of material - rework sale value

= $30,100 - $30,800

= - $700

The other items which are shown in the question are irrelevant for comparison. Thus, it is ignored.

Hence, the incremental effect on the company's overall profit of reworking and selling the material rather than selling it as is as scrap is show a loss of $700
