Answer:
A. Unaffected
B. Unaffected
C. Understated
D. Overstated
Explanation:
C. Understated.
Understated balance is one that is reported as having a lesser balance than it actually does. example of what could cause the situation in which cash is understated is that when check is written on the disbursing bank on the last day of December with a credit to cash, and an associated debit to some expense account so as to decrease reported profits and taxes be it (direct or indirect tjaxes) for the year.
Another example is when a utility bill that is suppose to be paid by the last day of the month but failed to record the expenses, under the accrual basis of accounting, the company should recognize the expenses now even though the bill is not yet due. Until the bill is recorded, the utilities payable is understated
d. Overstated.
An overstated balance is an account balance that is reported as having a greater balance than it actually does, example of such situation is that in which an employee has misappropriated funds during the year, and draw a check transferring funds to the account with the shortage so as to cover the shortage. As of December 31, the shortage is replaced, with no reduction as yet recorded in the account on which it is drawn.
In second example of understated, expense account is understated and because of this net income is overstated.
The answer is a manager should search diligently for ways the strategy can be improved
Answer:
cash 96,535 debit
discount on BP 3,465 debit
Bonds Payable 100,000 credit
Explanation:
We need to determinate the price at which the bonds were issued:
Which is the present value of the coupon payment and maturity
Coupon payment: 100,000 x 10% / 2 = 5,000
time 4 (2 years x 2 payment per year)
rate 0.06 (12% annual / 2 = 6% semiannual)
PV $17,325.5281
Maturity (face value) $100,000.00
time 4.00
rate 0.06
PV 79,209.37
PV c $17,325.5281
PV m $79,209.3663
Total $96,534.8944
As the bonds are issued below face value there is a discount:
100,000 - 96,535 = 3,465
the entry will recognize the cash procceds and the creation of a liaiblity
we will also use an auxiliar account for the discount on the bonds
