Answer:

Average receivables = $157,500,000

Explanation:

<em>Account receivable represent the amount of credit made by a business which remain uncollected as at the reporting date. In other words, they represent the amount that customers are owing the business in respect of credit sales.</em>

Average account receivables

=(opening balance + closing balance)/2

At the end of the fiscal year, the usual adjusting entry to update Prepaid Rent for the portion of the benefit that was used up
TEA [102]

Answer:

d. net income for the year will be overstated.

Explanation:

The prepaid rent account is used to record the amount paid in advance for rent. Once the amount is paid, the entries required are

Debit Prepaid rent

Credit Cash account

On subsequent use of the rent, the required entries are

Debit Rent expense

Credit Prepaid rent

As such where at the end of the fiscal year, the usual adjusting entry to update Prepaid Rent for the portion of the benefit that was used up / expired was accidentally omitted, net income for the year will be overstated as the rent expense that would have been posted to reduce it would have been omitted.

Zepler [3.9K]

Answer: The answer is Discontinued Operation.

Explanation: Discontinued Operation in financial accounting is a term that is used to refer to part(s) of a company’s line of businesses or products that have been sold or shut down.

Discontinued operations are reported on the income statement, but separately from continuing operations.

The decision to list discontinued operations separately on the income statement is useful because it shows investors where the profits are coming from and which operations have ceased to function, especially useful when companies are about to merge.
