Answer:
a. Total liabilities = $280,000
b. Total liabilities = $250,000
Total equity -= $250,000
Explanation:
As we know that
Total assets = Total liabilities + shareholder equity
So in the first case
The amount of the liabilities is
Total liabilities = Total assets - Total equity
= $700,000 - $420,000
= $280,000
And, in the second case, the total assets is $500,000
And, the liabilities and equity amounts are equal to each other
So in this case, the liabilities is $250,000 and the equity is $250,000
A is the answer
Because the rest do not make sense
Answer:
2nd January
Dr Machinery $178,000
Cr Cash $178,000
( to record the purchase of used machine)
3rd January
Dr Machinery $4,000
Cr Cash $4,000
(to capitalized the cost of wire electricity and installation to put the purchased machine in a ready-to-use stage).
Explanation:
- According to the information, all the expenses relating to the purchase of used machine are in cash. Thus, Cash is credited at the total amount of $182,000, in which $178,000 is credited in 2nd January to record the purchased price and the other $4,000 (2,840 + 1,160) is credited in 3rd January.
- Under GAAP, the recorded costs of a purchased fixed asset should included all the costs incurred which are necessary to bring the fixed asset to a ready-to-use stage. As wire electricity cost & cost for securing the machine in its position are all necessary for the machine's operation, these costs should be capitalized.
Answer:
B. Debit Budgetary Fund Balance -- Reserve for Encumbrances for $550,000.
Explanation:
X City made an order for goods worth $550,000 and when the goods were received the invoice states $551,000. The company should indicate in the invoice the correct amount received and work with that.
Reserve for encumbrances is an account that contains funds that have been reserved for a particular purpose. In this case since the order was made in February, the funds of $550,000 would have been put in this account.
On receipt of the goods we debit Budgetary Fund Balance -- Reserve for Encumbrances for $550,000 (the correct value of goods received).
