You have been engaged to review the financial statements of Flounder Corporation. In the course of your examination, you conclud

e that the bookkeeper hired during the current year is not doing a good job. You notice a number of irregularities as follows.
1. Year-end wages payable of $3,410 were not recorded because the bookkeeper thought that "they were immaterial."
2. Accrued vacation pay for the year of $30,000 was not recorded because the bookkeeper "never heard that you had to do it."
3. Insurance for a 12-month period purchased on November 1 of this year was charged to insurance expense in the amount of $2,868 because "the amount of the check is about the same every year."
4. Reported sales revenue for the year is $1,928,140. This includes all sales taxes collected for the year. The sales tax rate is 6%. Because the sales tax is forwarded to the state’s Department of Revenue, the Sales Tax Expense account is debited. The bookkeeper thought that "the sales tax is a selling expense." At the end of the current year, the balance in the Sales Tax Expense account is $94,140.

Prepare the necessary correcting entries, assuming that Headland uses a calendar-year basis.

2. Debit Wages $ Salaries Account $30,000

Credit Wages & Salaries Payable $30,000

5. Debit Sales Tax Payable $94,140

Credit Sales Tax Expense $94,140

To record sales tax paid.

Explanation:

1. In accordance with the accrual concept and the matching principle of the US Generally Accepted Accounting Principles, all wages payable must be accrued.  This ensures that expenses are matched to the period's revenue.

2. As in 1, all accrued vacation pay must be recorded.

3. Prepaid insurance must be accrued so that only the period's expense is recognized against the period's income.

4. The Sales Tax is calculated as follows:

Sales Revenue, including sales taxes divided by 106% to give the sales revenue figure.  Then 6% is applied on sales revenue figure to get the Sales Taxes for the year.

Sales Revenue = $1,928,140/106% = $1,819,000

Sales Taxes = 6% of $1,819,000 = $109,140

Suppose that the government is going to auction off permits equal to one third of total emissions in the economy (so two-thirds
LenaWriter [7]

Answer:

TRUE

Explanation:

TRUE, in the question, the government is going to auction off permits equal to one third of total emissions in the economy (so two-thirds of all emissions must be abated)

however, the firm will buy 100 permits even though thir marginal cost is below $ 15. because here the firm will get a monopoly in holding the permits of one third of total emissions in the economy. this is such a huge benefit for the firm and by acquiring this permits the firm can transfer the permission permits to other firm with high price or they can distribute the permits of emission among the different firms below the size of the emission permits holding firm. thus, even though marginal abatement cost of$8 has a special opportunity to buy 100 permits at a price of $15 per permits, the firm will resort to buy the permits. the power in handling the emission permits and the monopoly getting the firm in holding the permits allow the firm to act as a leader in the economy compared to other firm who don't have the emission permits. thus, the money gain and the authority gaining in emission permit hold the firm to buy the permits even though their marginal cost is below $15

Jagadison Co. leases computer equipment to customers under sales-type leases. The equipment has no residual value at the end of
Rasek [7]

Answer: $235,844

Explanation:

Interest revenue = Total lease payments - Fair value of equipment

The lease payments are constant and so are an annuity and will be an annuity due because the first lease payment of such leases are made immediately.

Present value of lease payments = Annuity * Present value factor of Annuity due, 5 years, 12%

989,065 = Annuity * 4.0373

Annuity = 989,065 / 4.0373

= $244,981.79

Total lease payments = Lease payments * number of years

= 244,981.79 * 5

= $1,224,908.95

Interest revenue = 1,224,908.95 - 989,065

= $235,843.95

= $235,844
