Q 4.35: McGinnis Construction is a cash-basis company with a fiscal year-end of June 30. McGinnis’ employees earn a normal weekl

hjlf

Answer: Understatement, $30,900

Explanation:

There will be an UNDERSTATEMENT of McGinnis' net income for the most recent fiscal year of $30,900.

The Understatement arises because as of year end which is June 30th, McGinnis were not paid for their services that cost $40,900 and instead will only be paid on the 8th of the next month so it was not accounted for in the net income.

The reason the net income understatement is $30,900 and not $40,900 is because McGinnis will still have to account for the payment to it's employees. If in a five day week they earn $12,500, that would mean that they earn $2,500 a day (12,500/5). Seeing as June ended on a Thursday, that is a 4 day week which means $2,500*4= $10,000.

That $10,000 will reduce the net income by that amount.

The net effect is a $30,900 UNDERSTATEMENT.

Answer:

c) relatively high variable costs

Explanation:

Operating leverage is a ratio that is used to analyze and understand the cost structure of a business. It gives the relation between the variable and fixed cost to the the total cost of running the business.

Athens Delivery Service is hired on October 31, 2018 to perform services, beginning on November 1, 2018. The delivery services w

solmaris [256]

Answer: $6600 Explanation: Athens' entered into a contract to deliver services from November 1. This contract is valid for 6 months. Their fiscal year ends on December 31. This means that only 2 months worth of services will be delivered in 2018. Even if Athens received cash for the full 6 months they can only record the revenue when they have fulfilled the obligations and rendered the service. Because only 2 months were rendered in 2018, they can only record $6600 ($3300 × 2 months) in the 2018 fiscal year. The outstanding 4 months' balance will remain in income received in advance account until these 4 months' services are actually rendered and the obligation is fulfilled by Athens.
