In 2021, internal auditors discovered that PKE Displays, Inc. had debited an expense account for the $350,000 cost of equipment

purchased on January 1, 2018. The equipment’s life was expected to be five years with no residual value. Straight-line depreciation is used by PKE.
Required:

1. Determine the cumulative effect of the error on net income over the three-year period from 2018 through 2020, and on retained earnings by the end of 2020.

2. Prepare the correcting entry assuming the error was discovered in 2021 before the adjusting and closing entries. (Ignore income taxes.)

3. Assume instead that the equipment was disposed of in 2022 and the original error was discovered in 2023 after the 2022 financial statements were issued. Prepare the correcting entry in 2023.

Answer:

1. 210.000

2. 140.000

3. No entral journey is required.

Explanation:

  1. To calculate the accumulated depreciation of the equipment:

Accumulated depreciation = depreciation expected for 1 year * 3 years

                    = (Cost of the asset - Residual Value)/Life of the asset  * 3 years  

                    = ((350.000 - 0) / 5) * 3              

                    = 210.000        

   2. Calculate the amount to be adjusted to the retained earnings as show below:

Amount to be adjusted = Expense Wrongly debited - depreciation expense for 3 years.

= 350.000 - 210.000

=140.000

3. No journal entry is required to record in the books of accounts because the equipment will not have any value after 2019.

Thus, no journal entry is required.

Answer:

I would choose to invest in C-T bank since it offers $7.3675 more compared to Bank Wan

Explanation:

The two options can be expressed as shown;

Option 1: Bank Wan

A=P(1+r/n)^nt

where;

A=Total amount after a given time

P=Initial deposit

r-Annual interest rate

n=number of times the interest is compounded annually

t=number of years of the investment

In our case;

P=$1,500

r=2.5%=2.5/100=0.025

n=365 days

t=1 year

Replacing;

A=1,500(1+0.025/365)^(365×1)

A=1,500(1.02530

A=1,537.97

Total amount after a year=$1,537.97 for Bank Wan

Option 2: C-T Bank

P=$1,500

r=3%=3/100=0.03

n=2

t=1

Replacing;

A=1,500(1+0.03/2)^(2×1)

A=1,500(1.015)^2

A=1,545.3375

Total amount after a year=$1,545.3375 for C-T Bank

Total amount received to be received from C-T Bank-Total amount to be received from Bank Wan

=(1,545.3375-1,537.97)=$7.3675

I would choose to invest in C-T bank since it offers $7.3675 more compared to Bank Wan

All of the following are reasons to use an estimated method of costing inventory except: A. perpetual inventory records are not
morpeh [17]

Answer:

The answer is: B) purchase records are not maintained.

Explanation:

There are two methods for estimating inventory costs:

  1. Gross Profit Method : uses the information from the income statement. If operating conditions remain similar, the proportion between total sales, profits and COGS should be similar (lets say profit is 30% and COGS is 70% of total sales). You can estimate your inventory costs by using the information on total sales.  
  2. Retail Method: It is used mostly by merchandising firms (retailers) that have consistent mark-ups. You have to determine the proportion between cost and retail price (lets say the COGS is 80% of the retail price). Then if you are given the retail inventory, you can determine the COGS using the proportion determined previously.

frosja888 [35]

Answer:

C) Hire a litigator who will agree to a contingent fee structure and require payment only if Marcos obtains a settlement or jury verdict.

Explanation:

Generally when lawyers agree to a contingent fee structure is because they are convinced their chances of winning are high. Lawyers will accept a fixed percentage of the amount recovered, usually this percentage is around 1/3 of the final settlement.

This type of agreement is very useful since you don't need to invest a lot of money, and the lawyer's pay comes from the money awarded by the jury (or a settlement).

Eastern Motors Auto Dealership wanted to estimate the average CLV over a 5 year time horizon of a customer who purchases a new v
NARA [144]

Answer:

The total estimated CLV over a 5 year time horizon for someone who purchases a new vehicle at Eastern Motors is $3,410.40.

Explanation:

Margin on selling vehicle = Average vehicle selling price * Margin = $23,700 * 11% = $2,607

Margin generated by 78% of people who return for service over 5 years = Number of times * Margin generated on each service = 10 * $103 = $1,030

Total estimated customer lifetime value (CLV) = Margin on selling vehicle + (Margin generated by 78% of people who return for service over 5 years * 78%) + (Margin generated by 226% of people who do not return for service over 5 years * 22%) = $2,607 + ($1,030 * 78%) + ($0 * 22%) = $3,410.40

Therefore, the total estimated CLV over a 5 year time horizon for someone who purchases a new vehicle at Eastern Motors is $3,410.40.
