    @yo831CA Wiley showed an easy way to solve this problem. If cost is marked up 40%, in the equation sales – cost = gross margin, sales will equal 1 plus whatever the markup of cost is. So 1+.4 = 1.4.

    Now, the equTion is

    Sales 1.4
    -Cost .4
    =Gross profit 1.0

    Now, divide 1 by 1.4 to get the gross margin percentage, which is .71.

    Bake Co.'s trial balance included the following at December 31, 20X1:

    Accounts payable $ 80,000
    Bonds payable, due 20X2 300,000
    Discount on bonds payable 15,000
    Deferred income tax liability 25,000

    The deferred income tax liability is not related to an asset for financial accounting purposes and is expected to reverse in 20X2. What amount should be included in the current liability section of Bake's December 31, 20X1, balance sheet (statement of financial position)?

    A.
    $365,000 – my answer

    B.
    $390,000 – correct answer

    C.
    $395,000

    D.
    $420,000

    Can someone explain why 365k is incorrect? With the simplification method and ASU 2015-07, deferred income taxes should be reported as non-current. Unless I'm mistaken?

    You are correct, they are non-current. My main man @sticknicky sent this one in last quarter. You might have to e-mail Roger's support to have this one updated.

    Just did sims for the lease/contingency, equity/partnerships, and bond chapters back-to-back-to-back. I am now brain dead (x_x)

    You guys were all right I was stressing out for nothing. A spot just opened up at the end of May in the Prometric center closest to me!!! It feels like a big load was lifted off of my shoulders.

    Forgot how much I hated contract accounting… don't know why but I have always been terrible at it, and found out today that still holds true

    @hwasup7 So far I've hear nothing except killer sims on FAR..expect a lot of DRS and enhance sims on your testlet. MCQ seems to be the same old same old.
