Answer and Explanation:

The Residential properties are depreciated over 27.5 years

Then:

The total amount of depreciation is $15,635. We assume that the property is sold in 2015.

Therefore, depreciation will be allowed only for 5 years such that the annual depreciation will be $3127 for 5 years.

He saves $781.75 annually (0.25*$3127).

If he holds the property for 5 years and then sells it, his 5 years' worth of depreciation will have saved him $3908.75  and it a $10,000 gain taxed at a maximum of 15%

$10,000 gain taxed at a maximum of 25% (or 33% if the gain pushes the taxpayer into a higher tax bracket).

$10,000 gain taxed at a maximum of 25%

zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

1. The company's shareholders and management are the stakeholders in this circumstance.

2-a. The president's request is unethical.

2-b. Zoe's action is unethical.

3. It is possible for Zoe to accrue revenues and defer expenses while remaining ethical.

4. Again, it is possible for Zoe to accrue revenues and defer expenses while remaining ethical.

5. The person that can discover Zoe’s accrued revenues and deferred expenses is the auditor

Explanation:

1. Who are the stakeholders in this situation?

The company's shareholders and management are the stakeholders in this circumstance. The reason is that, in this circumstance, manipulating the company's profitability will have a direct impact on stock prices, which will affect the company's shareholders. The company's management is also a stakeholder in this scenario because they are involved in decision-making and make accounting-related choices and changes to the books of accounts. Lenders, employees, vendors, and lenders are secondary or non-primary stakeholders who will be impacted by the decision of the management to accrue as much revenue as feasible and defer every possible expenses.

2. What are the ethical considerations of (a) the president’s request and (b) Zoe dating the adjusting entries December 31?

2-a. The president's proposal goes against sound accounting practices. This will be interpreted as an attempt to window dress and manipulate accounting entries by the management in order to present a profit figure that is higher than reality. This is unethical behavior.

2-b. Zoe's decision to date the adjusting entries December 31 rather than January 17 was carried out with the explicit intention of distorting accounting figures, and inflating revenues by incorrectly accruing certain revenues and deflating expenses by incorrectly deferring some expenses. This is not only unethical, but also unlawful behavior.

3. Can Zoe accrue revenues, defer expenses, and still be ethical?

It is possible for Zoe to accrue revenues and defer expenses while remaining ethical if he does it in accordance with accounting principles and the GAAP and IFRS framework. It will not be ethical otherwise. When sales have occurred but have not been recorded through standard invoicing paperwork, it is legitimate to record them as accrued sales. However, declaring such transactions as accrued revenues will be unethical if buyers have paid in advance and items will be supplied next year.

4. Can Zoe’s accrued revenues and deferred expenses be illegal?

Again, it is possible for Zoe to accrue revenues and defer expenses while remaining ethical if he does it in accordance with accounting principles and the GAAP and IFRS framework, and if the federal and IRS regulations have not been breached. However, Zoe's behavior of accruing revenues and deferring expenses will be against the law if those modifications break accounting conventions and federal regulations.

5. Who do you think can discover Zoe’s accrued revenues and deferred expenses?

The person that can discover Zoe’s accrued revenues and deferred expenses is the auditor when he is reviewing the books of accounts of the company.

Silk Company issued $500,000 of 7%, 10-year bonds on one of its interest dates for $431,850 to yield an effective annual rate of
Rudiy27

Answer:

interest expense 38,866.5 debit

discount on bond payable          3,866.5 credit

cash                                            35,000    credit

   

Explanation:

The effective method calculates the interest expense considering the carrying value and the market rate. Then, the difference with the coupon payment is amortization of the premium or discount

carrying value (issued price of the bonds) 431,850

market rate: 9%

interest expense: 431,850 x 9% = 38,866.5

coupon payment 500,000 x 7% = 35,000

this is the cash outlay for the bonds

Difference: 38,866.5 - 35,000 = 3,866.5

As the proceeds are lower than face value, this is a discount.
