Statements
Q1.
A company receives $12,000 cash on December 1 for services to be performed evenly over
the next six months. Under accrual accounting, what amount of revenue is recognized on
the December 31 income statement?
A. $12,000 B. $2,000
C. $10,000 D. $0
Correct: B - $2,000
Rationale:Under accrual accounting and the revenue recognition principle (ASC 606),
revenue is recognized as performance obligations are satisfied. One month of the six-month
service has been performed, so $12,000 ÷ 6 = $2,000 is recognized in December. The
remaining $10,000 is a liability (deferred revenue) until earned.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Recognizing the full $12,000 ignores the unearned portion and violates the revenue
recognition principle.
C. $10,000 is the unearned (deferred) portion, a liability, not December revenue.
D. Zero revenue would be correct only if no service had been performed at all during
December.

Recognition).
Q2.
A firm reports current assets of $450,000, inventory of $150,000, and current liabilities of
$300,000. What is the quick (acid-test) ratio, and what does it indicate?
A. 1.50; strong immediate liquidity B. 1.00; adequate immediate liquidity
C. 0.50; weak immediate liquidity D. 2.00; excessive liquidity
Correct: B - 1.00; adequate immediate liquidity
Rationale:Quick ratio = (Current assets " Inventory) ÷ Current liabilities = ($450,000 "
$150,000) ÷ $300,000 = 1.00. A ratio of 1.00 indicates the firm can cover current liabilities
with its most liquid assets, generally considered adequate. Including inventory (current ratio)
would give 1.50.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. 1.50 is the current ratio, which includes inventory; the quick ratio excludes it.
C. 0.50 results from dividing inventory by current liabilities, an incorrect formula.

D. 2.00 would require quick assets of $600,000, which the data do not support.

(Analysis of Financial Statements).
Q3.
Which of the following transactions increases both total assets and total stockholders'
equity?
A. Purchasing equipment with cash B. Issuing common stock for cash
C. Paying a cash dividend D. Collecting an accounts receivable
Correct: B - Issuing common stock for cash
Rationale:Issuing common stock for cash increases assets (cash) and increases contributed
capital, a component of stockholders' equity. The other transactions are asset exchanges or
reductions that do not simultaneously increase both totals.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. Purchasing equipment with cash is an asset exchange; total assets are unchanged.
C. Paying a dividend decreases both assets and equity.
D. Collecting a receivable increases cash but decreases receivables; total assets are
unchanged.
Reference: Libby, Libby & Hodge (2025). Financial Accounting, 12th Ed., Ch. 2 (Investing and Financing
Decisions).
Q4.
A company uses the allowance method. It writes off a $5,000 customer account as
uncollectible. What is the immediate effect of this write-off on total assets and net
income?
A. Assets decrease; net income decreases B. Assets unchanged; net income
unchanged
C. Assets decrease; net income unchanged D. Assets unchanged; net income
decreases
Correct: B - Assets unchanged; net income unchanged
Rationale:Under the allowance method, a write-off debits Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
and credits Accounts Receivable. Both are asset contra/asset accounts, so total net
receivables (and total assets) are unchanged, and no expense is recognized at write-off
because the expense was recorded when the allowance was established.
Why the other answers are wrong:
A. The write-off does not change total assets or net income under the allowance method.
C. Total assets do not decrease because the allowance already reduced net receivables.
