Answer:

AFS 2004 market price decline exceeded 2005 market price recovery

No No

The security cannot be classified as available-for-sale because the unrealized gains and losses are recognized in the Income Statement. Unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are recognized in owners' equity, not earnings.

The second part of the question is somewhat ambiguous. The 2004 price decline could exceed or be exceeded by the 2005 price recovery. The loss in the first year is not related in amount and does not constrain the realized gain in the second year.

The way to answer the question is to read the right column heading as implying that the earlier price decline must exceed the later price recovery. With that interpretation, the correct answer is no.

For example, assume a cost of $10 and a market value of $4 at the end of the first year. An unrealized loss of $6 is recognized in earnings. During the second year, the security is sold for $12. A realized gain of $8 is recognized-the increase in the market value from the end of the first year to the sale in the second year. Thus, the market decline in the first year did not exceed the recovery in year two. (It could have exceeded the recovery in year two but there is no requirement that it must.)

Changing to the successful efforts method of accounting for natural resource exploration costs.

Changing to the successful efforts method of accounting for natural resource exploration costs.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The particular technique initially underwrites the enthusiasm on explicit obligation. With financing costs on the decay, enthusiasm on lower rate obligation is promoted and more is expensed, comparative with the weighted normal technique, which underwrites at the normal rate over all obligation.

The weighted normal strategy would underwrite more enthusiasm on more established (higher loan cost) obligation, in this way diminishing the present measure of premium cost and expanding income. Expanding profit lessens the danger of rebelliousness for this firm.

Cr. Common stock                                                   $100,000

Cr. Paid-in capital excess of par, Common stock  $20,000

2.

Dr. Company expenses                                                        $22,000

Cr. Common stock, $1 stated value                                     $2,500

Cr. Paid-in-capital excess of stated value common stock $19,500

3.

Dr. Company expenses                 $22,000

Cr. Common stock, no-par value  $22,000

4.

Dr. Cash                                                                   $53,250

Cr. Preferred stock, $25 par value                         $31,250

Cr. Paid-in capital excess of par preferred stock  $22,000

Explanation:

1. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Common Stock, $20 Par Value = 5,000 shares × $20 per share = $100,000

Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock = $120,000 – $100,000 = $20,000

2.The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of stated value, common Stock account.

Common stock = $1 x 2,500 = $2,500

Paid-in capital in excess of stated value, common stock = $22,000 - $2,500 = $19,500

4. The Excess of common stock and cash received will be recorded in the Paid in capital in excess of par value, common Stock account.

Preferred Stock, $25 Par Value = 1,250 shares × $25 per share = $31,250

Paid in capital in excess of par value, preferred Stock = $53,250 – $31,250 = $22,000

Mary buys a new toaster for $500. the toaster's label bears a disclaimer stating that the manufacturer is not liable for consequ
Damm [24]

Answer:

The answer is<u> "$500".</u>

Explanation:

The amount of monetary damages Mary can likely recover from the manufacturer of the toaster is $500, because the disclaimer label on the toaster clearly states that, the manufacturer company is not liable for consequential damages. The damage of the electrical wiring in the kitchen refers to consequential damage because it is not the direct result of the damage of toaster but it is due to the spark in the toaster.
