Answer:

$5000

Explanation:

Since Elm City issued a purchase order for supplies with an estimated cost of $5,000, although when the supplies were received, the accompanying invoice indicated an actual price of $4,950, the amount that Elm should credit to encumbrances outstanding in its general fund after the supplies and invoice were received; is $5000

Notice that encumbrances are set aside funds for a purpose, therefore upon ordering, encumbrances balance would increase, and Elm would have passed the following entry

Dr. Encumbrances...$5000

Cr. Fund Balance.....................$5000

Therefore even if the supply came with a shortfall in amount, in order for Elm City to show that the purpose for making that encumbrance has been met, it has to be liquidated by crediting the Encumbrance account by the full amount of $5000

Answer:

Encumbrances outstanding must be debited by $5,000

Explanation:

The original transaction included a credit to encumbrances outstanding for $5,000, but since the invoice varied, that transaction must be reversed by a $5,000 debit in order to record the appropriate transaction for $4,950.

In public accounts, encumbrances are used to prevent overspending, but when underspending happens, they must be reversed, you cannot record a purchase discount. You must do the whole accounting process over.

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

The answer of each requirement is given below.

A.) record the events under an accounting equation

Accounting equation is given below.

Asset = Equity + Liability

Land + Cash = Equity + liability

12,000 + 4000 = 10,000 + 6,000

16,000 = 16,000

B.) After all events have been recorded, Jones's obligations to creditors represent what percent of total assets

Percentage = 6,000/16,000*100 = 37.5%

C.) after all events have been recorded, Jones stockholders equity represents what percent of total assets?

Equity percentage = 10,000/16,000* 100 = 62.5%

D.) assume the debt is due. given that jones has $10,000 in stock holders' equity can the company repay the creditors at this point? why or why not

No, the company will not be able to pay debt as the company has acquired land of 12,000 dollars and has only 4,000 dollars in liquid form.

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

IBM could either diversify by the strategy of market penetration, which consists in increasing the market share in a particular sector (in this case, cloud computing) through more marketing efforts.

Or it could integrate horizontally, acquiring a possible competitor that is more advanced in the cloud-computing business. Or even a start-up with good prospects, because with the amount of capital that IBM has, it could more easily expand the start-up operation as a new internal business division.
