Answer:

Historical cost principle

Explanation:

Assets must be recorded at cost value, not market value. When you record an asset, you cannot change its value every period, you have to keep using the historical value. This is why we use a separate account to record accumulated depreciation of assets, so that the purchase cost is always constant, but the net carrying value will vary depending on depreciation expense.

Market value changes and can be very volatile. Imagine a house, whose initial value was $300,000, then it increased to $500,000 but the market went down and its value was $350,000. It would be a mess to change the value and pay capital gains taxes, or then report a loss.

Sin Qua Corporation is a company listed on the stock exchange and issues corporate bonds. Which statement is most likely true?
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

Investors will have to pay tax on the interest income received from the bonds.

Explanation:

Interest earned from corporate bonds and capital gained through corporate bond transactions is taxable income.  The interest earned from a corporate bond is subject to taxation by both the federal and state governments.

The government will not sell sin Qua corporation bonds as it is a public company.  Bonds do not pay interest quarterly but rather semi-annually or annually.  Again, the maturity of the bond is determined at the time they are issued. Creditworthiness will only affect the bond price but not its maturity period.

Investors will have to pay tax on the interest income received from the bonds is thus the correct statement.

Virty [35]

Answer:

Option (D) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

In 2016,

Allowance for doubtful accounts = $7.2 million

Total accounts and other receivables, net = $486.6 million

In 2015,

Allowance for doubtful accounts = $9.3 million

Total accounts and other receivables, net = $520.2 million

Therefore,

Company’s current gross accounts and other receivables at the end of 2016:

=  net receivable(2016) + allowance for doubtful(2016)

= $486.6 + $7.2

= $493.8
