Answer:

The statement is false

Explanation:

The statement is false as the both the methods that is LIFO and FIFO are the methods of inventory valuation, not for computing the depreciation.

As LIFO (Last in first out), this method involves the inventory which is purchased last is expensed first whereas FIFO (First in first out), this method of inventory valuation, involves the inventory in which the inventory which is purchased first is expensed first.

For computing the depreciation for the tangible assets involves straight line, diminishing or double declining methods.

<u>Solution and Explanation:</u>

Calculation of Minimum lease annual payments from (MLP)

Year MLP from lessor Present value Present valur of

point of view factor 8% cash flows

1 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)=0925$ $4,350.28

2 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 2=0.857$ $4,030.47

3 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 3=0.793$ $3,729.48

4 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 4=0.735$ $3,456.71

5 $4,703 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge} 5=0.680$ $3,198.04

Total of Minimum

lease Payments $23,515 $ 18,764.97

Add

Unguaranteed

residual value(ugrv) 4000 $1 /(1.08)^{\wedge 5}=0.680$ $2,720.00

Asset to be recorded

in the books of lessor

(sum of mlp +ugrv) $27,515 $ 21,484.97

Here

Gross Investment=$27515

Lease receivable recorded in in the books of lessor(Phelps)(Mimum lease payments + Unguaranteed residual )value = $21484 $21,484

Walsh (lessee) shoiuld be recorded the amount of present value of minimum lease payments + Guaranteed Residual value=$18764.97 as asset and liabilty

b) In the books of phelps (lessor)

2017.01.01 Lease Recievble from walsh ….Dr $21,484

to Asset $21,484

(Being Lease receivable recorded )

In the books of Walsh (lessee)

2017.01.01 Asset ac ……………Dr $18,764

to Lease Liabilty(Lessor) $18,764

(Being the asset and liabilty recorded )

2017.12.31 Depreciation ……Dr 3752

to Asset 3752

(Beint Depreciation recorded charged during the year recorded 18764/5 provided for 5 years)

Here annual payment started from the at the beginning of year i.e annual lease payments start from 01.01.2018.

c) If expected residual value of $4000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books. But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset I.e $18764+Present vlue of $4000 $18764+2720=21484

d) If expected residual value of $3000 is guaranteed by walsh no changes will be made in classification of lease and there is no chages in asset recorded in Lessor books But changes will be made in the books of lessee as present value of guaranteed residual value should be added to asset I.e $18764+Present vlue of $3000 $18764+$2040=$20804

Common stock, par $12 per share, 49,000 shares outstanding. Preferred stock, 8 percent, par $17.5 per share, 7,710 shares outsta

Vlad [161]

Answer:

<h2>a. The Preferred stock is noncumulative.</h2>

Preferred stock

= 7,710 * 17.5 * 8%

= $‭10,794‬

Per share

= 10,794/7,710

= $1.40

Common Shareholders.

= 63,800 - 10,794

= $‭53,006‬

Per share

= ‭53,006‬/49,000

= $1.08

<h2>b. Preferred stock is cumulative. </h2>

This means that if preferred dividends are not paid in a year, they will be accrued and paid when they can.

Preferred stock

= 7,710 * 3 years (2017,2018,2019)

= $‭23,130‬

Per share = 23,130/7,710

= $3

Common stock

= 63,800 - 23,130

= $‭40,670‬

Per share

= 40,670/49,000

= $0.83

c. Why were the dividends per share of common stock less for the cumulative preferred stock than the noncumulative preferred stock?

b. The dividends in arrears on the preferred stock had to be fulfilled before dividends could be paid for the current year.
