with accounting theory may be examined in the actual examination, so it is important to review and

1. When an asset is held for sale, what basis is used to determine the amount to report on the
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Balance Sheet, and how is it presented on the Balance Sheet?

Solution:
A perpetual system records purchases to Inventory, while periodic records purchases to
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Purchases. Forperpetual, freight-in,purchase returns/allowances/discounts arerecorded to
w1 w1 w
1 w1 1
w w1 w1 w
1 w1
Inventory while periodic records these to separate accounts. For perpetual, the Cost of Goods
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Sold is recognized and recorded at the time of each sale by debiting COGS and crediting
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Inventory. For periodic no such entry is done, and COGS is a residual amount that depends on
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
separately calculating the cost of ending inventory at the end of each period, usually by costing
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
the physical count. Under a perpetual inventory system, the balance of the Inventory account
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
should always represent the ending inventory amount. For periodic, the Inventory balance is
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
adjusted to equal the costed physical count. Even under the perpetual system, an annual count
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
is needed to test the accuracy of the records.

and accumulated other comprehensive income.
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Solution:
Other comprehensive income is made up of revenues, gains, expenses, and losses that
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
accounting standards say are included in comprehensive income, but excluded from net
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
income. Comprehensive income is the total of net income and other comprehensive
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
income and represents the change in equity (orthe net assets) of any entity during a period
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w
1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
from non-owner source transactions and events. Accumulated other comprehensive
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
income is the balance of all past charges and credits to other comprehensive income to
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
the balance sheet date. It is included in the shareholder’s equity section of the balance
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
sheet.

4. When a note is received for property and the market rate is unknown, how is the
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
transaction’s fair value determined? How is fair value determined when neither the market rate w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
nor the property’s fair value is known?
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
Solution:
The fair value of the property that is given up can be used as an estimate of the fair value of the
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
note received. If neither fair value is known, then a market rate must be imputed and then used
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
to determine the note’s present value. The objective of calculating the appropriate interest
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
rate is to approximate the rate that would have been agreed on if an independent borrower and
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
lenderhad negotiated a similartransaction.The choice of arate is affected by the prevailing rates
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w
1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w
1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
for similar instruments by issuers with similar credit ratings. It is also affected by factors such as
w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1 w1
restrictive covenants, collateral, the payment schedule, and the existing prime interest rate.
