Answer: The management may have to either underestimate current asset or overstate current liabilities

Current liabilities are typically settled using current assets, which are assets that are used up within one year. Examples of current liabilities include accounts payable, short-term debt, dividends, and notes payable as well as income taxes owed.

Explanation:

An overstated balance is an account balance that is reported as having a greater balance than it actually does, while an understated balance is one that is reported as having a lesser balance than it actually does... Because an expense account is understated, net income (or loss) is overstated.

Liabilities and expenses are exaggerated to understate the amount of profit and to avoid distributing funds to shareholders and pay less tax on the taxable profits. When a company is overstating its expenses and liabilities, it is showing the untrue inflated amount of obligations and expenses to the shareholders.

Rufus Inc. and Hardy Company are negotiating a nontaxable exchange of business properties. Rufus’s property has a $50,000 tax ba
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

Which party to the exchange must pay boot to make the exchange work?

  • Rufus must pay boot since the FMV of its property is less than the FMV of Hardy's property.

How much boot must be paid?

  • $90,000 - $77,500 = $12,500

Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Rufus realize and recognize on the exchange, and what tax basis will Rufus take in the property acquired?

  • Rufus doesn't have any gain, and the tax basis for the new asset will be $50,000 + $12,500 = $62,500

Assuming the boot payment is made, how much gain or loss will Hardy realize and recognize on the exchange and what tax basis will Hardy take in the property acquired?

  • Since Hardy's property basis is $60,000 and it would be receiving $50,000 (Rufus's property) + $12,500 = $62,500, then it must recognize a $2,500 gain. The basis of Hardy's new property will be $62,500.

A metal sphere of radius 15 cm has a net charge of 3.0 $ 10#8 C. (a) What is the electric field at the sphere’s surface? (b) If
denis-greek [22]

Answer:

E = 1.20 × 10^{4} N/C

V = 1800 V

x = 0.058 m

Explanation:

given data

radius = 15 cm

net charge = 3 × 10^{-8} C

electric potential decreased = 500 V

solution

we get here electric field at the sphere’s surface that is

electric field at the sphere’s surface E  =  \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon _o R^2}   ............1

put here value

electric field at the sphere’s surface E  = \frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 8.99\times 10^9}{ 0.15^2}    

E = 1.20 × 10^{4} N/C

and

potential on surface of sphere is

V =  \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon _o R} ................2

V = \frac{3\times 10^{-8}\times 8.99\times 10^9}{ 0.15}  

V = 1800 V

and

now we get distance that is x

and we know here

ΔV = V(x) - V   ..............3

substitute here value

-500V = \frac{q}{4\pi \epsilon _o } \times (\frac{1}{R+x} - \frac{1}{R})

-500 V = {3\times 10^{-8}\times 8.99\times 10^9} \times (\frac{1}{0.15+x} - \frac{1}{0.15})

solve it we get x

x = 0.058 m

United Airlines' 2012 balance sheet reported the following (in millions) Total Assets $40,091 Total Liabilities 31,485 Contribut
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

C. $ 8,606 million

Explanation:

By the accounting equation you now that :

Total Assets = (Total Liabilities + Owner’s Equity)

In this case it´s

$40,091 = $31,485 + $8,606

It means that the company works with total assets, but it needs to finance these assets through liabilities (mainly suppliers of any kind) and equity, which is the money that the owner put in the company hoping to make a profit.

Choose the answer which best describes the relationship between the attribute given for a financial statement account and the li
Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

There is a direct relationship among the adequacy of the internal control as well as the ability of the auditor to rely on the procedures of the substantive analytical. When the entity does not have the efficient internal controls, then the auditor will rely on the procedures.

There is an inverse relationship among the RMM ( stated as risk of the material misstatement) as well as the ability of the auditor to rely on the procedures. And high RMM states that the internal control cannot be relied on to detect the material misstatement on the financial statements, which cause the auditor to rely on the tests of controls.

And there is a direct relationship among the predictability of the relationships among the data and the ability of the auditor to rely on the procedures. When the relationships are predictable, then the auditor could create a meaningful expectations which cause the procedures to be more efficient in detection of material misstatement.
