    yeah it could be the difference between a 73 and a 75.

    on another note, did timing issues in F2 and got an 82%–some stupid mistake I'm not happy cause it could have been higher.

    long term contracts- 83%

    nonmonetary exchanges- 77%

    i better retain this stuff come 8/31!!

    I just finished a SIM. Took me 45 minutes and I got it ALL wrong. Couldn't understand until I realized I had done all my inventory calculations for FIFO when they specifically asked (in bold) for LIFO! ARGH! Better now than next Tuesday!

    I'm the same CPA50, I get caught up in details trying to make sure I understand everything perfectly, but I feel like I don't have time for that! I will start doing some random mcq sets in between my specific topics ones to get a feel for what I don't remember. I also have trouble making sure I pick out the dates, methods, and exactly what the question is asking for – hopefully I get that squared away before next week lol

    On December 31, 20X1, Largo, Inc ., had a $750,000 note payable outstanding, due July 31, 20X2. Largo borrowed the money to finance construction of a new plant. Largo planned to refinance the note by issuing long-term bonds. Because Largo temporarily had excess cash, it prepaid $250,000 of the note on January 12, 20X2. In February 20X2, Largo completed a $1,500,000 bond offering. Largo will use the bond offering proceeds to repay the note payable at its maturity and to pay construction costs during 20X2. On March 3, 20X2, Largo issued its 20X1 financial statements. What amount of the note payable should Largo include in the current liabilities section of its December 31, 20X 1, balance sheet?

    Answer:??

    contrast that against….

    At December 31, Year 1, Cain, Inc. owed notes payable of $1,750,000, due on May 15, Year 2. Cain expects to retire this debt with proceeds from the sale o f 100,000 shares of its common stock. The stock was sold for $15 per share on March 10, Year 2, prior to the issuance of the year-end financial statements. Jn Cain's December 3 1, Year 1, balance sheet, what amount of the notes payable should be excluded from current liabilities?

    Answer:??

    250,000 for 1st one

    1,500,000 exclusion for 2nd one…

    Confusing right? It was for me at least. I stared at these problems for a bit today.

    First one my theory is if I see excess cash, i'm saying they will keep whatever is cash and any other non-refinanced.

    Second one, no cash involved, but see that they will refi 15*100k, so 1,500,000. so that is the exclusion and 250k would actually be included on B/S for this one as well.

    The Appleton Museum was established in the current year as a not-for-profit organization. It operates as a privately-funded museum and curator of the historical and artistic treasures of the Town of Appleton. The museum received a $500,000 donation of securities from Uri Appleton with the stipulation that the donation would be kept intact but that earnings from the principal could be used for the museum's art acquisition program. During the year, the museum received $50,000 in unrestricted contributions to fund operations. The donation of Mr. Appleton yielded $30,000 in dividends and the fair market value of the donation was $525,000 at year-end. The museum purchased local treasures for display in the museum valued at $38,000 during the year. What were the values of the net asset classes at the end of the year?

    those bonds/ current liability questions were on my marked list earlier this week. i did a super simple one and got it wrong because now i overthink them 🙁

    as for NFP question: hmmm would it be $42? (50+30-38) or would we use the 25 rather than 30?
