Answer:

D) Debit income summary 187000, credit revenues 187000

Explanation:

When dividend is declared, following journal entry is passed

Retained Earnings                                    Dr.

    To Dividend Payable

(Being declared dividend recorded)

When dividends are actually paid, the journal entry is

Dividend Payable A/C                              Dr.

     To Cash A/C

(Being dividend paid recorded)

Income summary account is prepared as a temporary account while income statement represents permanent account.

Income summary shows net income balance i.e Revenue less expenses.

As per the given information in the question, debiting income summary account with total revenues of $187000 would be wrong.

On January 1, 2021, the Excel Delivery Company purchased a delivery van for $46,000. At the end of its five-year service life, i
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

Given

Cost $46000

Life= 5 years

Salvage Value= $ 4000

Total miles = 165,000

Formula

Depreciation Straight Line Method= Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Straight Line Rate= 100%/ useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

1. Depreciation Straight Line Method= Cost - Salvage Value/ Useful Life

Depreciation Straight Line Method= $ 46000- $4000/ 5= $ 8,400

The depreciation expense using the straight line method does not change unless the salvage value is reached

Years        Depreciation      Accumulated Dep          Book Value

                                                                                (Cost - Accu. Dep)

a. 2021       $ 8,4000               8400                            37600

b. 2022       $ 8,4000               16,800                         29,200

c. 2023        $ 8,4000              25200                          20,800  

d. 2024       $ 8,4000              33,600                        12,400

e. 2025       $ 8,4000             42000                        4000

2. Straight Line Rate= 100%/ useful Life= 100%/5 = 20%

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate

Double Declining Method = 2 * Straight Line Rate= 2*20%= 40%

In double declining method the rate is multiplied to the cost to get the depreciation expense. 40 % of $ 46000= $ 18400

Each year the rate is multiplied with the remaining book value after deducting the depreciation expense from the cost as $ 46000- $ 18400= $ 27600

Next years depreciation will be $ 27600 * 40%= $ 11040.

This will be added in the original depreciation expense $ 18400 + $ 11040 = $ 29440 and deducted from cost to get the book value. $ 46,000- $ 29440 = $ 16560.

Again rate will be multiplied and each years depreciation will be calculated similarly.

It has been summarized in the table below.

Years       Dep Rate      Dep Expense       Accu. Dep.     Book Value

a. 2021        40%           18400                   18400               27600

b. 2022       40%           11040                     29440               16560

c. 2023       40%             6624                     36064               9936

d. 2024       40%             3974.4                  40,038.4         5961.6

e. 2025       40%            2384.64                   42,0423.4     3576.96

3. Depreciation per unit= (Cost -Salvage value) / Total units of production* Units of Production

Years       Mileage      Depreciation                    Depreciation

a. 2021      35,000     ($ 42000/165000)*35000        8909.09

b. 2022     37,000      ($ 42000/165000)*37000       9418.18

c. 2023      28,000     ($ 42000/165000)*28000        7127.27

d. 2024      33,000      ($ 42000/165000)*33000        8400

e. 2025      34,000    ($ 42000/165000)*34000         8654.54

Has anyone done the managing payroll quiz for Personal Finance on connexus???
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

a) withholdings

b) deductions

c) payroll register

d) methods of paying employees

e) commission

f) specific required deductions

g) hourly rate

h) voluntary deductions

i) Salary

j) standard deductions

Explanation:

A)

Withholdings are the amount that is associated with the payroll deductions from an employee's gross wages. The employer does not include withholdings in the employee's paycheck. Instead of adding it to the salary, the amount is transferred to the federal, state, or local government or tax authorities. It also decreases the tax that an employee has to pay during the yearly tax return.

B)

When an employer withholds any amount from an employee's gross salary, such as taxes, insurance, wage responsibilities, saving plans, and child support payments, it refers to deductions. The payroll deduction is also known as involuntary deductions because the employer is withholding the amount. Those deductions are legally deductible; therefore, it is automatic deductions.

C)

A list of periodic reports that enlist the hourly wages, additionals, gross pay, deductions, net pay, and the date of payrolls refers to the payroll register. More precisely, it is a summary of each employee's paycheck throughout a period. It starts with the current quarter's or month's total hourly wages and ends with the net pay of the employee.

D)

The commission is the percentage paid to an employee for his or her additional service provided for the company. For example, a company asks an employee to produce anything over 500 shirts per week will receive 10% additions, if the employee contributes in 510 shirts, he will receive an extra payment, it is commission. The hourly rate is the amount paid to the employee per hour. The salary is the monthly or weekly amount paid to an employee for his periodic contribution towards a business.

E)

The commission is the portion given to an employee for his or her supplementary service rendered for the company. For example, a manager of a firm urges the sales representative to sell $10,000 per month to receive an extra 10% of the total sales. If the sales representative sells $10,000 or more, he will receive an additional fee as a percentage. That percentage refers to the commission.

F)

Specific payroll deduction means deduction from paycheck to meet the obligations of income tax and other required duties. Every individual and corporation whose income is taxable is obliged to pay a tax. In the case of specific payroll deduction, an employee is legally obligated to withhold this money from an employee's payroll check based on federal and state laws. But specifically required deduction is not only used for tax provisions but also used for employee-related benefits like health insurance and short time disability plans that are offered by the employer.

G)

According to the Cambridge dictionary, hourly rate means the amount of money that is charged, paid, or earned for every hour worked. An employer is bound to pay a minimum hourly wage to the employee. It is one of the critical issues as many workers work as a part-time job. Since it is not a fixed job, so monthly or weekly payment is not applicable here. To adjust the amount for every type of employment, whether it is a permanent or temporary hourly rate of wage, is the best solution.

H)

When any deductions from employees salary or wages are not legally binded, those deductions are termed as Voluntary deductions. Voluntary deduction does not need any imposition of law. As it is not legally required, it is offered by the employer for employee's acceptance. This kind of deduction may include health, accident, disability, retirement plans; flexible spending accounts such as parking and transit costs; union dues; and deductions for paycheck advances and other company-sponsored benefits.

I)

Salary is most commonly known as compensations paid by the employer to an employee in return for required job performance. Salary generally paid in fixed intervals for an individual's performance. The intervals may be weekly, monthly, etc. and these are set up by a mutual contract between employer and employee. Salary mainly includes base pay and other benefits,  bonuses, or rises. Salary mainly gives security towards the employee as it is fixed payment for their work performances.

J)

Standard deduction means deduction of some amount of money from the total amount of income to reduce total taxable income. In short, it means a portion of income that is not subject to tax. The amount of one's standard deduction depends on one's filing status, age, or whether one is disabled or claimed as a dependent on someone else's tax return. But all the taxpayers are not qualified to enjoy this provision. Nonresident husbands and wives, married people filing separately whose spouses itemized, and trusts and estates cannot entertain this benefit.
