    • A television with 2560 x 1440 display resolution.

    • A television with 3840 x 2160 display resolution.

    Correct Answer
    A. A television with 3840 x 2160 display resolution.

    • Liabilities are decreased by $150,000; assets are decreased by $150,000.

    • Liabilities are increased by $150,000; assets are increased by $150,000.

    Correct Answer
    A. Liabilities are increased by $150,000; assets are decreased by $150,000.
    Explanation
    When a company pays its employees $150,000 in salary, it is considered an expense for the company. This expense reduces the company's assets, specifically its cash reserves, by $150,000. At the same time, the company incurs a liability for the amount of salary owed to the employees, which increases the company's liabilities by $150,000. Therefore, the correct statement is that liabilities are increased by $150,000, and assets are decreased by $150,000.

    In the U.S., which of the following is an example of tax evasion?

    • Using inventory accounting methods to report lower profits.

    • Omitting insignificant revenue from an income statement.

    • Duplicating expense items to increase liabilities and report lower profits.

    • Filing an extension to delay payment.

    Correct Answer
    A. Duplicating expense items to increase liabilities and report lower profits.
    Explanation
    Duplicating expense items to increase liabilities and report lower profits is an example of tax evasion because it involves intentionally manipulating financial records to reduce taxable income. By duplicating expense items, a company can inflate its expenses, which in turn decreases its reported profits and tax liability. This practice is illegal as it misrepresents the true financial position of the company and results in underpayment of taxes.

    DIRECTIONS: Refer to the following chart to answer the questions below. Using FIFO, what is the total cost of goods sold for 2018?

    • $100,000  

    • $135,000  

    • $140,000   

    • $160,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $135,000  
    Explanation
    The total cost of goods sold for 2018 can be calculated using the FIFO (First-In, First-Out) method. This method assumes that the first items purchased are the first ones sold. Looking at the chart, the cost of goods sold for 2018 can be calculated by adding the costs of the items sold in 2018. The cost of goods sold in 2018 is $135,000.

    Rate this question:

  • 32. 

    Using LIFO, what is the total cost of goods sold for 2018?

    • $100,000

    • $135,000

    • $140,000

    • $160,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $140,000
    Explanation
    The total cost of goods sold for 2018 is $140,000. This is determined by using the LIFO (Last In, First Out) method, which assumes that the most recently purchased inventory is sold first. Therefore, the cost of goods sold is calculated by adding up the costs of the inventory purchased throughout the year, starting with the most recent purchases. In this case, the total cost of goods sold is $140,000.

    • $160,000

    • $100,000

    • $135,000

    • $165,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $160,000
    Explanation
    The gross profit is $160,000 because LIFO (Last In, First Out) assumes that the most recently acquired inventory is sold first. Since the question does not provide any additional information or context, we can assume that the cost of goods sold is equal to the total value of inventory, which is $160,000.

    Rate this question:

  • 35. 

    Using FIFO, what is the gross profit margin?

    • 10%

    • 25%

    • 55%

    • 100%

    Correct Answer
    A. 55%
    Explanation
    The gross profit margin is a financial metric that measures the profitability of a company by calculating the percentage of revenue that remains after deducting the cost of goods sold. FIFO (First-In, First-Out) is a method of inventory valuation where the oldest inventory items are sold first. This method can result in a higher cost of goods sold and therefore a lower gross profit margin. Therefore, the correct answer of 55% suggests that using the FIFO method, the company's gross profit margin is 55% of its revenue.

    Using LIFO, what is the gross profit margin?  

    • 10%

    • 53%

    • 25%

    • 100%

    Correct Answer
    A. 53%
    Explanation
    The correct answer is 53% because using LIFO (Last In, First Out) method means that the most recent inventory costs are matched with revenue first. This results in higher costs of goods sold and lower gross profit margin compared to other inventory costing methods. Therefore, the gross profit margin would be 53% in this case.

    Using FIFO, what is the net profit?  

    • $75,000

    • $72,500

    • $100,000

    • $70,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $75,000
    Explanation
    The net profit using FIFO is $75,000. FIFO stands for "First In, First Out" and is a method of inventory valuation. It assumes that the first items purchased are the first ones sold. In this case, the cost of goods sold is deducted from the revenue to calculate the net profit. Since the cost of goods sold is $0, the net profit is equal to the revenue of $75,000.

    Why would it be advantageous for this business to use LIFO instead of FIFO when calculating profit?

    • The business will pay less in taxes.

    • The business will pay more in taxes.

    • The business will get a higher return on investments.

    • The business will have more inventory for next year.

    Correct Answer
    A. The business will pay less in taxes.
    Explanation
    Using LIFO (Last In, First Out) instead of FIFO (First In, First Out) when calculating profit can be advantageous for this business because LIFO assumes that the most recently purchased inventory is sold first. This means that the cost of goods sold will include the higher-priced inventory, resulting in lower reported profits and, consequently, lower taxable income. By paying less in taxes, the business can retain more of its earnings, which can be reinvested or used for other purposes to further grow the business.

    DIRECTIONS: Refer to the following chart to answer the question below. H2 Oh! Water Filters Income Statement Based on the income statement above, explain why the gross profit margin was higher in 2016 than  2017 even though H2 Oh! Water Filters recognized higher revenues in 2017.

    • The cost of production was lower in 2016 than in 2017.  

    • The beginning inventory was less in 2016 than in 2017.

    • The ending inventory was more in 2017 than in 2016.  

    • The sale price was higher in 2016 than in 2017.

    Correct Answer
    A. The cost of production was lower in 2016 than in 2017.  
    Explanation
    The gross profit margin is calculated by subtracting the cost of production from the revenue and dividing it by the revenue. Since the cost of production was lower in 2016 than in 2017, the difference between the revenue and cost of production was higher in 2016, leading to a higher gross profit margin. Even though the revenue was higher in 2017, the increase in cost of production offset the increase in revenue, resulting in a lower gross profit margin.

    • Revenue recognition principle

    • Cost principle

    • Going concern principle

    Which of the following is an example of a capital expenditure?

    • Printer paper

    • Luncheon for clients

    • Materials for a construction project

    • New office building

    Correct Answer
    A. New office building
    Explanation
    A capital expenditure refers to a significant investment made by a company to acquire or improve a long-term asset that will benefit the business over an extended period. While printer paper and luncheon for clients are considered regular operating expenses, materials for a construction project can be classified as a capital expenditure if they are used to enhance or expand the company's physical infrastructure. However, a new office building is the best example of a capital expenditure as it involves a substantial investment in a long-term asset that will provide ongoing benefits to the business.

    • Taxes payable

    • Accounts receivable

    • Capital expense

    • Loan interest payments

    Correct Answer

    Silva would like to set aside money for the future. She has $1,000 now and would like to contribute a  set amount over time. She wants a federally insured account and she wants some check writing abilities.  Which of the following options would be most appropriate for the employee?

    • Regular savings account

    • Certificates of deposit

    • Money market accounts

    • U.S. savings bonds

    Correct Answer
    A. Money market accounts
    Explanation
    A money market account would be the most appropriate option for Silva because it offers both federal insurance and check writing abilities. This type of account typically pays higher interest rates compared to regular savings accounts, making it a good option for setting aside money for the future. Additionally, money market accounts are known for their liquidity, allowing Silva to easily access her funds when needed. Certificates of deposit and U.S. savings bonds may offer higher interest rates, but they do not provide the same level of flexibility and check writing abilities.

    Lucie makes $60,000 a year. She puts 10% of her annual salary in savings and pays $6,000 in annual  taxes. What is Lucie's monthly take home pay?

    • $4,000

    • $5,000

    • $6,000

    • $10,000

    Correct Answer
    A. $4,000
    Explanation
    Lucie makes $60,000 a year and pays $6,000 in annual taxes. To find her monthly take home pay, we need to subtract the amount she saves and the amount she pays in taxes from her annual salary. Lucie saves 10% of her annual salary, which is $60,000 * 0.10 = $6,000. Subtracting this from her annual salary gives us $60,000 - $6,000 = $54,000. To find her monthly take home pay, we divide this amount by 12 (the number of months in a year): $54,000 / 12 = $4,500. Therefore, Lucie's monthly take home pay is $4,500.
