Electrodo Co. purchased land for $55,000 with $20,000 paid in cash and $35,000 in notes payable. What effect does this transacti
Archy [21]

Answer:

(c). Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000

Explanation:

Accrual basis of accounting attempts to record transactions as and when they arise and not on the basis of  when money is actually received or paid. Once a liability is certain, such a liability is provided for immediately.

The journal entry for purchase of Land partly by cash and partly for issuing a notes payable would be:

Land                                                  Dr. $55,000

     To Cash                                                          $20,000

     To Notes Payable                                           $35,000

(Being land purchased by payment of $20,000 in cash and a note being issued against the balance amount)

Land and cash are assets whereas Notes Payable is a liability.

So, the effect of the above transaction would be:

Net increase of $35,000 ( $ 55,000 - $ 20,000) as debit in fixed assets account increases their balance whereas cash being a real account, the rule being debit what comes in, credit what goes out. So credit in cash account would reduce the cash balance by $ 20,000.

Notes Payable account which is to be paid in future is a liability which shall increase the liabilities by $ 35,000.

So, the correct answer is (c), Net increase in assets of $35,000 and a net increase in liabilities of $35,000.

Lynette Company's Inventory balance at 12/31/04 was $200,000 and was $188,000 at 12/31/05. Its Accounts Payable balance e at 12/
Viefleur [7K]

Answer:

A) $704,000.

Explanation:

For computing the cash payments we need to calculate the following amounts which are as follows

Total purchases = cost of goods sold + ending inventory - opening inventory

= $720,000 + $188,000 - $200,000

= $708,000

Now cash payment to merchandise is

= Beginning account payable balance + purchased made - ending account payable balance

= $80,000 + $708,000 - $84,000

= $704,000

Hence, the correct option is A. $704,000

babymother [125]

Answer:

The correct answer is: may have equal or increasing amounts applied to the principal from each loan payment.

Explanation:

Amortization can be defined as the process of spreading out the loan in monthly payments. An amortized loan has scheduled periodic payments for both interests as well as principal. If the payments for each period are equal it is called a fully amortized loan.

In amortized loans the interest is paid off first then the amount excess of interest reduces the principal. A common example of amortized loans is auto loans, home loans.

The payments for amortized loans can be equal or unequal for each period.
