Answer:

Current liability refers to the short term obligations of the firm which need to be settled down within a period of one year or within a normal operating cycle.

(a) $0 would be reported as current liability, as it is not a current liability. It is a contingent liability.

(b) The amount of current liability is $192,900 because it is a liability of a firm to pay bonuses to the employees.

(c) The amount of current liability is as follows:

= $900,000 × 0.08 × (1/12)

= $6,000

Payment of interest on loan is a liability of the firm.

(d) $0 would be indicated in current liability, because provision for doubtful accounts is subtracted from the total accounts receivable to determine the net account receivables.

(e) Proposed dividend is a part of current liability and the amount of dividend to be shown as current liability is as follows:

= Dividend per share × No. of shares outstanding

= $3.50 per share × 41,810

= $146,335

(f) Customer advances is a current liability and the amount of customer advances to be reported in current liability is calculated as follows:

= Customer advances - Amount earned this year

= $193,100 - $57,900

= $135,200

Assoli18 [71]

Answer:

reported as income for all three years   is $7,000

Explanation:

given data

cost of the ending inventory = $181,000

market value  inventory =  $160,000

Income per year =  $7000

so reported as income for all three years   is $7,000

Gardner Company expects sales for October of $249,000. Experience suggests that 45% of sales are for cash and 55% are on credit.
yarga [219]

Answer:

$68,475

Explanation:

Data provided

Sales in October = $249,000

Credit percentage = 55%

Following month percentage = 50%

The calculation of accounts receivable is shown below:-

Credit sales in October = $249,000 × 55%

= $136,950

Collection collected in October

= $136,950 × 50%

= $68,475

Therefore, for computing the collection collected in October we simply multiply the credit sales in October with following month percentage.
