Answer:

A) The GAAP statement is based on cost function rather than cost behavior.

Explanation:

Income statements that follow GAAP rules categorizes expenses based on their business function: product, selling or administrative.

While cost behavior categorizes costs based on how they influence a company's activities: variable, fixed and mixed. When a manager wants to measure the impact of any decision he/she makes, they need to use this type of categorization. For example, if fixed costs increase, what is the new break even point? If variable costs decrease, how is the marginal cost affected?

A TIPS was issued with a par value of $1000, a coupon rate of 2.5 percent, and a reference CPI of 204.89. What is the correct ca
Andre45 [30]

Answer:

$12.53

Explanation:

Data provided in the question

Par value = $1,000

Coupon rate = 2.5%

Reference CPI = 204.89

Now CPI = 205.44

By considering the above information, the correct calculation of the current interest payment is

= Par value × Current CPI ÷ Reference CPI × Coupon rate ÷ 2

= $1,000 × 205.44 ÷ 204.89 × 2.5% ÷ 2

= $12.53

We assume the interest is on semi annual payments

frutty [35]

Answer:

No reversing entry is needed as they are all posted correctly

Explanation:

1. Rent Expense 1,000 Prepaid Rent 1,000

This entry is correct because it rent had been prepaid, then the entry would have been to debit 'Prepaid Rent'and credit Cash/Bank. However at the end of the period when rent is accrued, you debit 'rent expense' and credit 'prepaid rent'

2.Taxes Expense 1,750 Taxes Payable 1,750

This entry is correct because at the end of the period when Tax is accrued, you debit 'Tax expense' and credit 'Tax payable' because tax is always paid much later in a future period not the current period

3. Deferred Rent Revenue 1,550 Rent Revenue 1,550

This entry is correct because at the end of the period when rent income is earned, but has been paid for before: you debit 'Deferred Rent Revenue' and credit 'Rent Revenue' because (at least a portion of) the deferred rent revenue is now earned.

4. Salaries Expense 150 Salaries Payable 150

This entry is correct because at the end of the period when Salary is accrued, you debit 'Salary expense' and credit 'Salaries payable'
