Answer:

a) $3,000 compensation to a consultant who spent three weeks in January 20x7 analyzing B’s internal control system.

  • $3,000 recognized in 20x6

Cash basis accounting doesn't recognize prepaid expenses that last less than 12 months, therefore, this expense will be recognized in the year that it was paid for regardless if the actual expense took place on a later date. The same applies for rent, insurance, etc.  

b) $500,000 to purchase a new piece of manufacturing equipment. The equipment was delivered on January 8, 20x7 and has a useful life of 5 years.

  • $0 recognized in 20x6

If you use modified cash basis accounting, you must capitalize fixed assets and depreciate them. You would recognize depreciation expense during the following 5 years.

c) $16,900 property tax to the local government for the first six months of 20x7.

  • $16,900 recognized in 20x6

Since you paid your taxes in 2016, you must recognize them.

d) $50,000 for a two-year lease beginning on February 1, 20x7.

  • $0 recognized in 20x6

The 12 month rule doesn't apply, therefore, you must recognize rent during 20x7 and 20x8.

e) $23,700 of inventory items held for sale to customers.

  • $0 recognized in 2016

Even for cash basis accounting, inventory is a permanent account in the balance sheet and it cannot be expensed until sold.

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the depreciation expense using straight line method is shown below:

For 2021

= ($35,000 - $5,000) ÷ (10 years)

= $3,000

For 4 months, it would be

= $3,000 × 4 months ÷ 12 months

= $1,000

And, for the year 2021, it would be the same i.e. $3,000
