Answer:

$679,700

Explanation:

I believe Mickelson is the person preparing the books for Indigo Inc.

This question tests your knowledge of revaluation and its application to financial statements. It indirectly checks your knowledge of depreciation also.

A quick definition of terms would make it clearer.

Depreciation is the systematic allocation of the price of an asset over its useful life. That is once an asset (non-current) is purchased, it cannot be used up immediately in one financial year, hence accountants usually want to spread the use of the asset and match it with whatever revenue they get from the use of the asset (an application of prudence concept).

But land does not depreciate, rather it appreciates over time. Due to the fact that land appreciates over time, it would be misrepresentation on the part of Mickelson to report the value of the asset in December 2017 at the price in which the land was purchased in 2000.

Because land appreciates over time, a revaluation is more appropriate. this revaluation compares the carrying value of the land with the fair value on the land as at the date of revaluation (comparing $418,200 with $679,700) and the higher is used.

Hence to faithfully represent the current details of the status of the land, the IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) states that the entity should record the value of land at fair value.

I hope this is clear and easy to understand.

Other concepts you might want to check out are;

depreciation

carrying amount

revaluation surplus

fair value

Answer:

Yes, it can be asserted that willingness to pay under these circumstances can be reconciled with the profit goal of a business in a free enterprise system.

Explanation:

There are three possible implications of the oversight of the subcontractor to submit a bill as follows:

1. The subcontractor may not have forgotten to submit the bill but the small business owner pays $15,000: Under this, the fact that the subcontractor has not submitted the bill does mean he has actually forgotten the legal obligation of the small business to pay. If the small company does try to fall through, it can raise suspicions the small business.

2. The subcontractor may truly have forgotten to submit the bill and the small business owner pays $15,000: Under this case, a feeling of an obligation to pay $15,000 will create a great and positive impression on the part of the subcontractor about the small business owner. This will subsequently result in a further favourable business interactions between the small business owner and the subcontractor.

3. The subcontractor may truly have forgotten to submit the bill and does pay any amount: Under this case, the subcontractor will have a wrong impression about the small business owner when the subcontractor eventually remembers he is yet to submit the bill. The attendant negative results will be loss of integrity, loss of more future business opportunities, and among others.

Conclusion

From the explanation above, it can therefore be asserted that willingness to pay under these circumstances can be reconciled with the profit goal of a business in a free enterprise system. This is because by doing the right thing, more positive impression will be created over time.
