,Section A - Financial Statement Analysis AND Ratios
Q1.
A company enters into a contract to provide a customer with a customized software
license and future updates. The license is functional intellectual property, and updates are
deemed distinct. How should the transaction price be allocated to the performance
obligations?
A. Entirely to the software license because B. Based on the relative standalone selling
updates are incidental prices of the license and updates
C. Based on the residual approach, D. Defer all revenue until both obligations
allocating the remainder to updates are satisfied
Correct: B - Based on the relative standalone selling prices of the license and updates
Rationale:ASC 606 requires allocation of the transaction price to distinct performance
obligations based on their relative standalone selling prices. The residual approach is only
used when one obligation's selling price is highly variable or uncertain. Updates are distinct,
so they cannot be incidental.
Q2.
A lessee signs a 10-year lease for equipment with no renewal option. The lease contains a
purchase option at a price significantly below expected fair value at the end of the lease.
How should the lessee classify and initially measure the lease liability?
A. Operating lease; liability measured at B. Finance lease; liability measured at
present value of lease payments present value of lease payments
C. Finance lease; liability measured at fair D. Operating lease; liability measured at the
value of the underlying asset sum of undiscounted lease payments
Correct: B - Finance lease; liability measured at present value of lease payments
Rationale:The bargain purchase option makes it reasonably certain the lessee will exercise it,
classifying the lease as a finance lease under ASC 842. The lease liability is measured at the
present value of lease payments, including the exercise price of the option.
Q3.
A company has a temporary difference of $100,000 that will reverse in equal amounts over
the next two years. Enacted tax rates are 30% for year 1 and 25% for year 2. What is the
deferred tax liability at the end of the current year?
A. $27,500 B. $30,000
C. $25,000 D. $55,000
Page 3
, Section A - Financial Statement Analysis AND Ratios
Correct: A - $27,500
Rationale:Deferred tax liabilities are measured at the enacted tax rates expected to apply
when the temporary difference reverses. The reversal is $50,000 each year: $50,000 × 30% +
$50,000 × 25% = $15,000 + $12,500 = $27,500.
Q4.
A company sponsors a defined benefit pension plan. During the year, the projected
benefit obligation increased by $200,000 due to service cost and interest cost, while the
fair value of plan assets increased by $150,000. Actuarial gains of $20,000 were recognized
in OCI. What is the effect on the company's comprehensive income?
A. Net expense of $50,000 in net income B. Net expense of $50,000 in net income
and OCI gain of $20,000 and OCI loss of $20,000
C. Net expense of $30,000 in net income D. Net expense of $50,000 in net income
and OCI gain of $20,000 with no OCI effect
Correct: A - Net expense of $50,000 in net income and OCI gain of $20,000
Rationale:The increase in PBO from service cost and interest cost creates a pension
expense of $200,000, while the increase in plan assets reduces it by $150,000, resulting in a
net expense of $50,000. Actuarial gains are recognized in OCI, increasing comprehensive
income.
Q5.
Which of the following is most likely to indicate aggressive revenue recognition?
A. A decrease in days sales outstanding B. An increase in accounts receivable
(DSO) turnover
C. A decrease in the ratio of operating cash D. A decrease in the allowance for doubtful
flow to net income accounts as a percentage of gross
receivables
Correct: C - A decrease in the ratio of operating cash flow to net income
Rationale:A declining ratio of operating cash flow to net income suggests that earnings are
not being converted into cash, often due to aggressive revenue recognition. The other options
generally indicate healthier receivables management.
Q6.
A company issues $1,000,000 face value, 5-year bonds with a stated interest rate of 8%
when the market rate is 10%. Interest is paid semiannually. What is the carrying amount of
the bonds immediately after the first interest payment using the effective interest method?
A. $927,711 B. $932,096
