Van Frank Telecommunications has a patent on a cellular transmission process. The company has amortized the $18.90 million cost

of the patent on a straight-line basis since it was acquired at the beginning of 2017. Due to rapid technological advances in the industry, management decided that the patent would benefit the company over a total of six years rather than the nine-year life being used to amortize its cost. The decision was made at the end of 2021.
Required:
Prepare the appropriate adjusting entry for patent amortization in 2013 to reflect the revised estimate.

Answer:

The appropiate Journal Entry would be the following:

Amortization Expense Dr. $5.25  million

                                     Patent Cr. $5.25 million

Explanation:

According to the given data, we have the following:

Original Cost of patent = $18.90 million

Hence, Annual Amortization (Old) = 18.90/9 = $2.1 million

Amortization till Date (2017 - 2021) = 2.1*4 = $8.4 million

Hence, Unamortized Value = 18.90 - 8.4 =$ 10.5 million

Also, Remaining Life = 6 - 4 = 2 Years

Therefore, The New Amortization = Unamortized Value/Remaining Life = 10.5/2 = $5.25 million

The appropiate Journal Entry would be the following:

Amortization Expense Dr. $5.25  million

                                     Patent Cr. $5.25 million

In a retail cash sales environment, which of the following controls is often absent?
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question is option b) Separation of functions.

Explanation:

In a retail environment , the cash management process starts when a customer pays the cashier for the product or services he or she has purchased. The cashier then counts the cash in till drawer and then at end of the day cashier takes that cash to the third party who can be either manager or owner or a supervisor. Then cashier would receive a receipt against the cash for till drawer.

Now supervisor would collect cash from all the cashier and prepare the cash to be deposited in bank. So from this process it is quite clear that here there is separation of functions here and while all other options given in the question are present in the process.

If both an asset group and goodwill in one of a company's reporting units have to be tested for impairment, which of the followi
irga5000 [103]

Answer: A. The other asset group should be tested for an impairment loss before goodwill is tested.

Explanation:

According to the IFRS standards, it is important and necessary to revalue your assets according to their net realizable value, i.e, assets should be reported after deducting accumulated depreciation or amortization in the case of goodwill. In the case of inventory, NRV should be calculated by estimating impairments.

The other asset groups are tested to check for impairment loss and later the goodwill is tested.

2014 ending inventory was overstated by $25,000, but it was too late to correct the financial statements. Which of the following
expeople1 [14]

Answer:

C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.

Explanation:

In the income statement , ending inventory is deducted from the addition of the beginning inventory and net purchases to arrive at the cost of goods sold. Therefore, the cost of goods can be stated as an equation stated as follows:

Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Net purchases - Ending inventory

From the above equation, it can be observed that if the ending inventory is overstated, cost of goods sold will be understated by that amount.

Since gross income is determined by deducting cost of goods sold from the net sales, an understated cost of goods sold will result in an overstated gross income and subsequently overstated net income.

Since net income is one of the components of the stockholders' equity, an overstated net income will leads to an overstated stockholders' equity.

Therefore, the correct option is C. Net income and stockholders' equity are both overstated.

Determine the beginning cash balance for Sweet Treats Eats if the net cash provided by operating activities is $35,000, net cash
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

$50,000

Explanation:

Given the following information for Sweet Treats Eats

net cash provided by operating activities = $35,000

net cash used by investing activities = $42,000

net cash provided by financing activities = $12,000

ending cash balance = $55,000

Beginning cash balance + $35,000 - $42,000 + $12,000 = $55,000

Beginning cash balance = $55,000 - $35,000 + $42,000 - $12,000

                                         = $50,000
