Answer:

b. No - the increase in lease expense is a fixed cost.

Explanation:

If the owner of Italian restaurant increases the prices of its product it will result in low customers as the restaurant is already at the competitive price among its other competitors. If the restaurant raises prices the customers will move to the competitors which are offering same quality product at reduced price. The rent is increased by 20% which is considered as a fixed cost because it does not affect the per unit production and is not associated with the numbers of customers.

Which of the following journal entries is recorded correctly and in the basic format? a. Salaries and Wages Expense 550, Cash 1,
Yuki888 [10]

Answer:

d.  Salaries and Wages Expense 550, Advertising Expense 950, Cash 1,500

Explanation:

Whenever a new entry is posted firstly the accounts which are debited are entered.

Secondly the accounts which are credited are posted.

And, the total of debit and total of credit shall always be same, so that the entry is recorded properly.

As an expense, it reduces income and is always debited.

And as for settling the expenses cash is paid, cash being an asset when reduced will be credited.

Total expenses debited = Salaries and Wages + Advertising Expense = 550 + 950 = 1,500

Therefore, as against it cash paid = $1,500 shall be credited.

Cash = $1,500

Thus, correct option is d.

On December 1, 2021, the company received $9,000 in cash from another company that is renting office space in Falwell’s building
MrMuchimi

Answer:

From all indications,the two rents received have been posted wrongly, I want to believe that you are required to post the adjusting entries,hence my answer below:

The first $9000 was posted to deferred revenue,whereas only two months should have been

First rent:

DR Deferred revenue $3000

CR Revenue                 $3000

Second Rent

DR Revenue                  $6000

CR Deferred revenue    $6000

Explanation:

The first $9000 was posted to deferred revenue,whereas only two months should have been deferred and December rent recognized as rent.

As far as the second rent is concerned only one month has been earned,as a result the revenue should be credited with just $3000  for December.

This then mean that revenue from the second property has been overstated in December by $6000,this necessitated by adjustment above.

Sheffield Company signed a long-term noncancelable purchase commitment with a major supplier to purchase raw materials in 2021 a
Sphinxa [80]

The journal entry to record the purchase of the raw materials by Sheffield Company is as follows:

Debit Purchases $1,031,600

Credit Accounts Payable $1,031,600

  • To record the purchase of the raw materials in 2021.

The December adjusting entry can be revised with:

Debit Estimated Liability $53,300

Credit Unrealized holding Loss $53,300

  • To reverse the December 31 adjusting entry.

<h3>What is an unrealized holding loss?</h3>

In this instance, the unrealized holding loss arose from the fact that the market value of the raw materials is less than the purchase amount because of the noncancelable commitment.

Thus, the unrealized holding loss arose as the difference between the market value and the purchase amount.

<h3>Data Analysis:</h3>

Purchases $1,031,600 Accounts Payable $1,031,600

Estimated Liability $53,300 Unrealized holding Loss $53,300

Thus, the entry to record the purchase is a debit to the purchases account and a credit to accounts payable.
