On January 1, Fonk City approved the following general fund resources for the new fiscal period:

Property taxes $ 5,000,000

Licenses and permits 400,000

Intergovernmental revenues 150,000

Transfers in from other funds 350,000

What amount should Fonk record as estimated revenues for the new fiscal year?

a.

$5,550,000

b.

$5,900,000

c.

$5,750,000

d.

$5,400,000

Explanation

Choice “a” is correct. Revenues include property taxes, licenses and intergovernmental revenues. Transfers would be considered estimated other financing sources. Estimated revenues are:

Property taxes $ 5,000,000

Licenses and permits 400,000

Intergovernmental revenues 150,000

Total estimated revenues $ 5,550,000

I selected choice d. $5400,000 because I understand that intergovernmental revenues and transfers in from other funds are estimated other financing sources.

Can someone please correct me how I am wrong and give the explanation for the correct answer.

Thanks

CPA – I'm having a hard time with the selection list formatting, but here goes…

1. cr inventory dr cogs

2. dr sales cr a/r

3. dr sales cr inventory – this is to reverse what was done and didn't need to be done. the only entries that might have been made would be to move the inventory to consignee inventory accounts for tracking purposes. you still own the inventory when using a consignee,

4. cr sales dr a/r

5. no adj necessary

5. is DR Sales and CR A/R

Why? Because it is FOB destination and there were no sales in year 2 so that entry has to reverse out.

4. DR AR and CR Sales

Why? Because FOB shipping point is a sale right when it is delivered. So the company has to record a sale which it didn't.

Alright…I just scheduled my first exam, FAR, for November 24th. Here we go!

Dunne Co. sells equipment service contracts that cover a 2-year period. The sales price of each contract is $600. Dunne's past experience is that, of the total dollars spent for repairs on service contracts, 40% is incurred evenly during the first contract year and 60% evenly during the second contract year. Dunne sold 1,000 contracts evenly throughout 20X1. In its December 31, 20X1, balance sheet, what amount should Dunne report as deferred service contract revenue?

Incorrect A.

$540,000

B.

$480,000

C.

$360,000

D.

$300,000

Answer mentions something about a Average “exposure” of contracts which I have no idea why it's being applied.

Wall Co. sells a product under a 2-year warranty. The estimated cost of warranty repairs is 2% of net sales. During Wall's first two years in business, it made the following sales and incurred the following warranty repair costs:

Year 1

---

Total sales $250,000

Total repair costs incurred 4,500

Year 2

---

Total sales $300,000

Total repair costs incurred 5,000

What amount should Wall report as warranty expense for Year 2?

A.

$1,000

B.

$5,000

Incorrect C.

$5,900

D.

$6,000

For this prob. shouldn't total repair costs for Yr-two be subtracted to arrive at ‘net sales'? Or was I over-thinking this somehow?

Thanks.

Servicing Assets, can anyone give a some examples of this . I understand what they are, just having difficulty understanding why collecting payments would be considered an asset.

[rzrbkfaith]

@aspiring – Not yet studying FAR, but these would be my answers…

Dunne Co. question – wouldn't the answer be C – $360,000? If you sell a contract but only earn 40% of it, then 60% of it would be deferred. 600,000 x 0.60 = 360,000

Wall Co. question – wouldn't the answer be D – $6,000? If you are recording warranty expense, then you would DR warranty expense and CR warranty reserve (at least that is what we called it). Repairs would be recorded against the reserve, not expensed. 300,000 x 0.02 = 6,000

I just gave up on Consolidate FS

way too much 🙁

[Anonymous]

Just remember this, all equity accounts of the subsidiary get eliminated along with the investment account for the parent. So if a question asks what is the RE or SE on the consolidated worksheet, use just the parent number. Also, all receivables and sales are eliminated so when asked how much of the receivable is owed, answer 0. If you get these two parts down along with knowing how to calculate goodwill, you will be fine.

[Mehwish]

Really? I've been reviewing the wiley chapter all day on on Investments. The example there is really long. It has the I/S, Statement of Retained earnings, and B/S.

It includes everything you mentioned plus noncontrolling interest,and unrealized inventory assets!
