Batch Co. employs knowledge workers and is finding that its employees are retiring closer to age 75 than to age 65. As a result,

they recently amended their defined benefit pension plan such that benefits will begin at age 72, with certain exceptions for those employees demonstrating an earlier need, instead of at age 60. Batch Co. has been able to measure the actuarial present value of this amendment, which is the change in the projected benefit obligation (PBO) that results from the change. How will this affect pension expense in current and future periods?

Debit Rent expense $4,650

Credit Miscellaneous Expense $4,650

Correct Entry:

Debit Rent expense $4,650

Credit Cash $4,650

b. Reversal entry:

Debit Accounts payable $3,700

Reverse entry is to simply close to zero the original entry that has been made in mistake. Afterwards, record the correct entry to properly account the transaction.

To reverse the previously made entry, we simply debit what is credited and debit what is credited.

a. We need to close the rent expense credited by debiting it and credit the miscellaneous expense that is previously debited to zereod out the mistake recording. Then to record the correct entry, Debit Rent expense and Credit Cash at the amount $4,650

b. Just ike what we did on the previous transaction, we will debit the Accounts payable and credit the cash that has been recorded by mistake to zereod out the balance and then make the correct entry. Debit Cash $3,700 and credit Accounts receivable $3,700.

Strike441 [17]

Answer:

The gain on the sale of investment is $145,325

Explanation:

In determining the gain on the sale of half of the stock,the first thing to do would be determine the cost of the stock sold such that the cost can then be compared with the proceeds from the sale of the investment so as to determine the gain therein.

The total investment should be valued in such a way that the share of profits should be added to the investment while the dividends received would be deducted.

Jan,1 2021                                                                   $890,000

Share of profit($367,000*30%)                                  $110,100

less dividends(since it already received in cash

($228,000*30%)                                                         ($68,400 )

Value of investment at 31 Dec,2021                         $931,700  

Share of profit(30%*$467000)*6/12                           $70,050

Dividends(30%$128,000)                                          ($38,400 )

Value of investment as at 1 july  2022                     $963,350  

Note that as at I july 2022 Marigold Corporation is only entitled to half year profits on the investment as well as half year dividends

Cost of half of investment=$963,350*1/2=$ 481,675.00  

Gain= proceeds-cost=$627,000- 481,675 =$145,325

Marks Consulting purchased equipment costing $45,000 on January 1, Year 1. The equipment is estimated to have a salvage value of
Tasya [4]

Answer:

B) Debit to accumulated depreciation for $22,500.

Explanation:

As for the information provided,

Depreciation under straight line method for each year = ($45,000 - $5,000)/8 = $5,000 for each year.

Depreciation for 4 years = $5,000 \times 4 = $20,000

Depreciation in 5th year for 6 months = $5,000/2 = $2,500

Total depreciation till 1 July Year 5 = $20,000 + $2,500 = $22,500

Carrying value of equipment in books as on date of sale = $45,000 - $22,500 = $22,500

Sale price = $20,000

Profit or loss on sale of equipment = $20,000 - $22,500 = - $2,500

So therefore, there is loss of $2,500

Thus, option c and option d are invalid.

Further cash received on sale is debited and not credited thus, option a is also invalid.

As the total accumulated depreciation = $22,500

The correct entry will include debit to accumulated depreciation of $22,500.

Thus, option b is correct.
