    Encumbrances do not close out to fund balance. expenditures and revenues close out to fund balance. Encumbrances are part of the fund balance breakdown required per GASB 54.

    i thought all deferred tax assets/liabilities are now non-current…here is a a ninja mcq #: 74 Category: 1C1 Balance Sheet/Statement of Financial Position

    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)?

    Incorrect A.
    $365,000

    B.
    $390,000

    C.
    $395,000

    D.
    $420,000

    explanation:
    All of the liabilities are current liabilities because all will be paid within the next year.

    Accounts payable $ 80,000
    Bonds payable 300,000
    Discount on bonds payable (15,000)
    Deferred income tax liability 25,000
    ——–
    Total $390,000

    I'm having trouble interpreting this statement:

    A company is preparing its financial statements (12/31 year end) and has to find the proper accounting procedure for …

    “For the year ended December 31, XXX has a loss carry forward of $180,000 available to offset future taxable income. However, there are no temporary differences.”

    I thought it meant that there was a loss in a prior year that could be used to offset current year taxes – but the answer to the problem seems to imply that the loss is in the year being reported. For those with the question numbers, it is CPA-00857, number 31 of 61 in the Becker F6 MCQs on income tax accounting.

    @ginic when I looked at the question I chose zero simply because they actually had not decided to sell the patent therefore there's not going to be any income recognized as far as the Deferred tax asset of 54000. I think what the explanation is trying to tell you is that if the company was expecting a loss in future years they should have a valuation allowance to reduce that DTA

    Does anyone happen to know this? I think the total gain on income statement is the gain on disposal + restring gain = 25 =50= 75. Why the answer is 50?

    Ace Corp. entered into a troubled debt restructuring agreement with National Bank. National agreed to accept land with a carrying amount of $75,000 and a fair value of $100,000 in exchange for a note with a carrying amount of $150,000. Disregarding income taxes, what amount should Ace report as a gain in its income statement?
    a. $75,000
    b. $50,000
    c. $25,000
    d. $0

    Choice “b” is correct. $50,000 is reported as a gain related to a troubled debt restructuring. The calculation is as follows:
    Cancellation of debt $ 150,000
    Less: FMV asset exchanged (100,000)
    Gain on restructuring $ 50,000
    FMV asset exchanged 100,000
    NBV asset exchanged (75,000)
    Gain on disposal/exchange $ 25,000

    credit gain on land 25,000
    credit land 75,000
    credit gain on rest 50,000

    So I just googled that question because it's so weird. I found three different versions – yours, it specifically asking for restructuring debt amount, then one asking for the extraordinary gain. I'm assuming the question was reworded to account for no more extraordinary gain and it was left as a badly worded question????? Or I don't understand.

    @monicasanta – looking at the solution, I would send that question in to the source (Becker, Wiley, etc) and ask why, when the questions asks for “gain” with no type of gain indicated, the solution shows gains totaling $75,000 but the answer designated correct is $50,000. They could clarify, and they might need to correct it for future candidates.

    Hello everyone,

    Gave my FAR exam on the 8th Jan. I am pretty surprised with the exam not sure even if I would pass. I marked atleast 15-18 questions which I was not sure of. On simulations I'm pretty sure my research was right. 4 simulations would be about 80 percent right. 2 of them should be about 50 to 60 percent right. What do you think are my chances of passing. My paper went so horrible, I studied much more and didn't expect the paper to get so bad. The first testlet was very easy. By the time 3rd testlet came it seemed impossible as the number of questions I flagged on the third one just increased.

    @PrachiJain, you may want to post to that in the exam experience thread, to see whether any one who sat in Q1 can relate.
