    @ CPA2014dream We are reversing that debit because technically its a prepay, so should be a prepaid expense. Entry below:

    Prepaid expense Dr. 50,000

    Accounts payable Cr 50,000

    Originally the accounts payable balance was 850,000, but the credit will increase the balance to 900,000.

    The key is “to be manufactured” which means we technically don't owe the money yet and the amount we paid is a prepay.

    To answer your first question, we are trying assign cost to each lot. When we bought the land, we paid for the whole thing in bulk and added the costs of subdividing the land. No cost was assigned for each individual parse of land, so we will determine cost relative to the parse of lands sales price. If I have 4 pieces of land, and i'm selling each for 250, than 1 must be worth 25% of the sales price for all four together. So when i bought the land, 25% of the total cost must be allocated to each parcel of land.

    @NYCaccountant thank you very much, always most helpful!! Can you just explain exactly what numbers and percentages we came up with for the ($1,200/$3,000) in the $1,050,000 × ($1,200/$3,000) = $420,000 ÷ 100 = $4,200 formula.

    Plot A = 1,200,000/3,000,000=40%

    40% * purchase price + price of subdivision

    40% * 1,050,000=420,000

    So of the 1,050,000 purchase price, 40% is allocated to Plot A.

    Now we divide the 420,000 by the total number of lots for A

    420,000/100=4,200 per lot

    @NYCaccountant – yes, NBV is Net Book Value (just assets minus liabilities, without any adjustment up [presumably] to FV). I can't imagine I wrote it out that many times while watching the Becker videos and got it wrong every time… ? If I had more energy I would re-watch that section–but I don't.

    Anyway, the important thing is it is really Fair Value (not NBV). That makes total sense to me and I going to do some more questions and make sure I'm 100% solid.

    Thank you!

    How long is everyone giving themselves for pure review? 1 week? less? more? I wanted to be through 100% of my Gleim chapters with 2 weeks left to review and go back over my weak areas but it's looking more like a week now.

    @nbad311 I'm going through review right now. I would have 3 weeks of review time when it's all said and done.

    I spent 1 full week just doing governmental and non-profit over. I'm going to spend the next two weeks reviewing my weak chapters.

    @NYCaccountant I actually spent a lot of time in the last week also doing just governmental and NFP. I'm already much better prepared for this next test in those areas than I was on the last one. NFP is not all that hard in my opinion, just foreign.
