Answer: False

Rationale: The general journal is also known as the book of original entry.

 

 

Topic: Posting

LO: 2

5.   The process of transferring debit and credit entries from the journal to their related general ledger accounts is called “posting.”

Topic: Accrued expense

LO: 3

6.   An accrued expense is one that has been incurred but not yet paid.

 

Answer: True 

Rationale: An expense is accrued when it becomes owed if it has not yet been paid.

 

 

Topic: Adjusted trial balance

LO: 3, 5

7.   An adjusted trial balance is a listing of all the year-end balance sheet accounts, since all the income statement accounts have been closed to zero.

 

Answer: False

Rationale: The adjusted trial balance lists all general ledger accounts after adjustments have been posted.  It contains much of the data needed to construct the financial statements, including the income statement.

 

 

Topic: Deferred revenue

LO: 3

8.   Deferred revenue and unearned revenue both refer to cash that has been received but not yet earned.

 

Answer: True

Rationale: Both unearned revenue and deferred revenue refer to fees received before services are performed to earn those fees.

 

 

Topic: Prepaid asset

LO: 3

9.   Prepaid rent is an example of a contra account, and is used to record a reduction to its related account, rent expense.

 

Answer: False

Rationale: Prepaid rent is an asset account reflecting the benefit owed the company from paying cash in advance for rent.  Rent expense is used to accumulate costs associated with using property rented from others.

 

 

Topic: Unadjusted trial balance

LO: 3

10.  The purpose of an unadjusted trial balance is to be sure the general ledger is in balance.

 

Answer: True

Rationale: The primary purpose of the unadjusted trial balance is to ensure the general ledger is in balance before management posts adjusting entries.

 

 

Topic: Adjusting entries

LO: 3

11.  Adjusting entries always impact the income statement and the cash account.

 

Answer: False

Rationale: Adjusting entries affect a balance sheet account and an income statement account, but never the cash account.

 

 


 

Topic: Preparing financial statements

LO: 6

12.  The income statement, statement of changes in equity, and statement of cash flows report on time periods that depict flows.

 

Answer: True

Rationale: Specific periods of time are reported on all financial statements, except the balance sheet. They depict changes or flows in levels over a period of time.

 

 

Topic: Temporary accounts

LO: 5

13.   All accounts in the general ledger are closed at a company’s fiscal year end in order to facilitate preparation of the financial statements and to ready the accounts for the activities of the next year.

Topic: Asset book value

LO: 4

14.  The book value of a building is equivalent to its historical cost.

 

Answer: False

Rationale: A building’s book value is its historical cost minus the accumulated depreciation associated with the building.

 

 

Topic: Adjusting unearned revenues

LO: 3

15.  Adjusting unearned revenues causes a liability to decline.

 

Answer: True

Rationale: The adjustment of unearned revenues reduces Unearned Revenue, a liability, and increases Service Revenue or Sales.

Answer: D

Rationale:

The original entry was:

On April 1, 2022, CMP NV paid €60,000 for rent on warehouse space one year in advance.  On October 1, 2022, CMP NV entered into a lease agreement to rent out its old warehouse space it was no longer using.  This agreement calls for CMP to receive €4,000 per month from the lessee, due and payable at the end of the 4-month lease term. At December 31, 2022, none of the rental payments from the lessee had yet been received.

 

 

 

Topic: Adjusting entries

LO: 4

9.   If CMP makes the appropriate adjusting entry, how much will be reported on the December 31, 2022 income statement for rent expense?

A)   €42,500

B)   €24,500

C)   €7,500

A)   €15,000 and €12,000

B)   €7,500 and €8,000

C)   €15,000 and €7,500

D)   €15,000 and €6,000

 

Answer:  A

Rationale: Prepaid rent remaining = €60,000 × 3/12 = €15,000

Rent receivable = €4,000 × 3 = €12,000

 

 

Topic: Deferral

LO: 3

11.  Which of the following is a distinguishing characteristic of a deferral?

A)   It affects at least one liability account.

B)   It always impacts the cash account.

C)   It includes the adjustment of an amount previously recorded in a balance sheet account.

D)   It increases a balance sheet account and decreases an income statement account.

Rationale: A deferral adjusts an amount previously recorded in a balance sheet account.

 

 

Topic: Accruals

LO: 3

12. A company provides services to clients during the period that are neither paid for, nor billed to the clients. What must the company do?

A)   Bill the client prior to year end in order to recognise the revenue.

B)   Record the revenues as a liability at the end of the year.

C)   Accrue revenue by making an adjusting entry at the end of the period.

D)   All of the above are true.

 

Answer: C

Rationale: Services earned but not yet billed or collected require an accrual to recognise the revenue and the account receivable at the end of the period.  The bill does not have to be sent prior to year end and there is no liability at year end since money is owed to the company.

 

 

Topic: Statement of changes in equity

LO: 4

13.  Which statement is true of the statement of changes in equity?

A)   It reports a company’s assets, liabilities, and equities.

B)   It reports a company’s revenue and expenses for a period.

D)   It shows a company’s share issuances and dividends paid to shareholders.

 

Answer: D

Rationale: The balance sheet is described in “A,” the income statement in “B,” and “C” applies primarily to the income statement.  Answer “D” is the best choice as it shows changes in all equity accounts.

 

 


 

Topic: Closing entries

LO: 5

14.  Maker Corporation has the following normal account balances in its general ledger at the end of a period:

 

Sales revenue

$ 530,000

Advertising expense

     90,000

 

Which of the following gives the correct entry required to close only the accounts above?

A)  Advertising Expense                     90,000

      Retained Earnings                     440,000

                  Sales Revenue                                      530,000

 

B)  Retained Earnings                     440,000

                  Net Income                                           440,000

 

C)   Sales Revenue                          530,000

                  Advertising Expense                                 90,000

                  Retained Earnings                                 440,000

 

D)   None of the above.  These accounts are not closed.

 

Answer:  C

Rationale: The closing process requires that revenue accounts are debited and retained earnings are credited for the amount equal to the revenue balance.  The closing process also requires that expense accounts are credited and retained earnings debited for an amount equal to the expense balance.  The net amount of retained earnings credited in this problem is equal to $440,000 (or $530,000 – $90,000), since revenues are greater than expenses.

LO: 5

18.  Which one of the following will never appear on a post-closing trial balance?

A)   Unearned revenue

B)   Retained earnings

C)   Rent expense

D)   Share Capital

 

Answer: C

Rationale: All temporary accounts (revenues and expenses) have zero balance after closing, so only balance sheet accounts appear on the post-closing trial balance.

LO: 6

19.  What is a ‘flow’ as it relates to financial statements?

A)   An amount that varies over time

B)   A change in a level over a period of time

      B)   The asset’s book value declines.

      C)   The cost of the equipment declines.

      D)   The market value of the equipment declines.

A.

During January, €3,600 worth of supplies were purchased.  If the amount in Supplies Expense represents the January 31 adjustment for the supplies used in January, what was the January 1 beginning balance of Supplies?

B.

The insurance premium purchased was valid for one year.  The amount in the Insurance Expense account represents the adjustment made at January 31 for January insurance expense.  What was the amount of the premium and on what date did the insurance policy start?

C.

No beginning balance existed in Wages Payable or Wages Expense on January 1.  How much cash was paid as wages during January?

D.

The truck has a useful life of five years, what is the monthly amount of depreciation expense and how many months has LLL AG owned the truck?

 

Answer:

A.    Balance, January 1 = €2,200‒ €3,600 + €5,200= €600

B.    Amount of premium = € 360 ´ 12 = €4,320.

Therefore, nine months' premium (€4,320 - €3,240 = €1,080 / 360 = 9) has expired by January 31. The policy term began on May 1 of the previous year.

C.    Wages paid in January = €48,800 - €3,200 = €45,600     

D.    Monthly depreciation expense = €44,400 / 60 months = €740 per month

            LLL AG has owned the truck for 12 months (€8,880 / €740= 12 months).

Topic: Fiscal year-end

LO: 1

1.   Why would a company want to have a fiscal year-end that does not match the calendar year-end?

 

Answer:

A company might set a fiscal year-end that is different from its calendar year end to allow them to prepare closing accounting records that does not coincide with the busiest shopping season of the year or busiest production time.  Thus the decision about a fiscal year may minimise workload compression and move it to the slowest part of the business year.  As such, the fiscal year serves as a period of accounting cycle reference, with the decision allowing a better match for submission of accounting documents to regulatory agencies and inspection by auditors.    

 

 

Topic: Accounting cycle

LO: 1

2.   Do the steps in the accounting cycle occur with equal frequency?  Why or why not?

 

Answer:

No, the steps in the accounting cycle do not occur with equal frequency because companies analyse and record daily transactions throughout the accounting period.  However, they only adjust and report when management requires financial statements, often monthly or quarterly, but at least annually.  The last step in the accounting cycle is closing, which only occurs once during the accounting cycle, at the period-end.

 

 

Topic: Closing process

LO: 5

3.   What are the two major steps in the closing process?  Why is the closing process necessary?

 

Answer:

The first step is to close revenues to retained earnings.  The second step is to close expenses to retained earnings.  The closing process has two purposes:  1) to transfer temporary balances to the permanent accounts and 2) to ready the accounts for the next accounting period.
