Total Asset and Expense Misstatements:

                  Assets                            Expenses

              Overstatement                  Understatement  

2017        $24m ($24m -$0)             $24m  

2018        $46m (24 -8 + 30)m         $22m ($30m- $8m)

2019       $64m (46 -18 + 36)m        $18m ($36m - $18m)

b. The Retained Earnings account will be misstated as a result of the above accounting treatment at the end of fiscal 2019.

c. Journal Entries:

June 30, 2019:

Debit R&D expense $82m

Credit Total assets $64m

Credit Amortization Expense $18m

To correct the R&D amortization and inappropriate capitalization.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

30 June 2019:

Total assets = $280m

Net income = $20m

             Amortization      R&D              Amount

               Expense         Costs          Capitalized

2017             $0               $24m          $24m ($24m - $0)

2018            $8m             $30m          $46m ($24m - $8m + $30m)

2019           $18m            $36m          $64m ($46m - $18m + $36m)

Calculation of amortization expenses:

2017 R&D costs =  $24m/3 = $8m

2018 R&D costs = $30m/3 = $10m

2019 R&D costs = $36m/3 =$12m

GaryK [48]

The answer for this question would be you will both go to the store on the same day in 20 days. The reason behind this is you go every 4 days so at the time you go on your fifth round of those 4 days it would be your friend's 2nd time shopping in your friend's 10 shopping days.

All parties need to communicate about strategy and schedule. which communication channel is most likely to meet their needs? mul
Nina [5.8K]
The most suitable strategy for all parties to communicate is by using a videoconference in which allows all of the people to have a meeting and to be able to see each of the people involved in a meeting. Using a conference call may also be useful but the lacking of it is that you may not be able to see the people you're talking to. Other choices aren't suitable as this will not allow you to talk to everyone all in the same time.

The following transactions pertain to 2018, the first-year operations of Gibson Company. All inventory was started and completed
kari74 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

The preparation is shown below:

                                         Gibson Company

                                        Income statement

                                        For the year 2018

Particulars                                                    Amount

Sales (360 units × $25)                               $9,000

Less: Cost of goods sold                           -$7,200

Gross profit                                                 $1,800

Less:  rental fee                                          -$400

Less: administrative employees                -$350

Net income                                                  $1,050

The computation of cost of goods sold would be

= Materials used to produce inventory + production workers + rental fee for production equipment

= $4,700 + $2,400 + $900

= $8,000

So, the cost of goods sold would be

= $8,000 × 360 units ÷ 400 units

= 7,200

And, the ending balance of finished goods inventory would be

= $8,000 - $7,200

= $800

                                        Gibson Company

                                        Balance sheet

                                        For the year 2018

Liabilities                           Amount      Liabilities                           Amount

Common stock                $12,000       Cash                                  $12,250

Add: Retained earning   $1,050          Finished goods inventory $800

Total                                  $13,050      Total                                  $13,050  

The cash balance would be

Cash flow from Operating activities  

Sales                          $9,000

Less: cost of goods sold -$7,200

Less: admin expenses     -$750

Less: Increase in inventory -$800

Net Cash flow from Operating activities -$250

Cash flow from Investing activities  $0

Net Cash flow from Investing activities $0

Cash flow from Financing activities  

Issuance of common  stock $12,000

Net Cash flow from Financing activities $12,000

The computation of the cash balance

Net Cash flow from Operating activities $250

Net Cash flow from Investing activities $0

Net Cash flow from Financing activities $12,000

Cash balance                                            $12,250
