Answer:
The warranty period is for three years.
Explanation:
A warranty is a promise a buyer receives from the seller that the latter will repair or replace the product should it develop defects within a stated period. Warranties are granted with specific conditions. The universal condition is that the defects in the product are a result of the manufacturing process and not the buyers' misuse. The defect must occur within a stated period.
In the case of XYZ, the stated period is three years. However, the seller has introduced another condition of "or 30,000 miles whichever comes first." For business reasons, and from market experience, the seller expects that XYZ will use the vehicle at an average rate of 10,000 miles per year. At this rate, the warranty will last for three years. Should the buyer use the vehicle at a faster rate than this, the 30,000 miles will be exhausted earlier, which will bring the warranty to an end. If XYZ uses the vehicle at a slower or the expected rate, the warranty will last for three years.
Answer:
Option C. Debit Cash and credit Stock Investments
Explanation:
The reason is that in the equity method of recording the dividends receipts, it is always deducted from the stock investment and the relevant share of reported net income of the associate is added to the stock investment.
So mathematically,
Stock Investment Under Equity Method = Opening Value for the year + Share of Net Income - Dividend received
Stock Investment Under Equity Method = $300,000 + $160,000 * 25% + $60,000 * 25% = $325,000
The above treatment shows that the recording of dividends include credit to stock investment and the cash receipt is always debited.
So the double entry would be:
Dr Cash $15,000
Cr Dividends $15,000
So the option C is correct.
