ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS
 1. Adjusting entries are made at the end of the accounting period to record all
    revenues and expenses that have not been recorded but belong in the current
    period. They update the balance sheet and income statement accounts at the end
    of the accounting period.
 6. Adjusting entries have no effect on cash. For deferred revenues and deferred
    expenses, cash was received or paid at some point in the past. For accruals, cash
    will be received or paid in a future accounting period. At the time of the adjusting
    entry, there is no cash being received or paid.
 7. Earnings per share = Net income ÷ Weighted average number of shares of stock
    outstanding during the period.
       Earnings per share measures the average amount of net income for the year
       attributable to one share of common stock.
 8. Total asset turnover ratio = Net Sales (or Operating Revenues) ÷ Average Total
    Assets
       The total asset turnover ratio measures sales generated during the period per dollar
       of assets, which suggests how effective the company is at generating sales by
       utilizing assets. If the ratio increases over time, the company is more effective.
10. Permanent accounts -- balance sheet accounts; that is, the asset, liability, and
       stockholders’ equity accounts (these are not closed at the end of each period).
    Temporary accounts -- income statement accounts; that is, revenues, gains,
       expenses, and losses (these are closed at the end of each period).
11. The income statement accounts are closed at the end of the accounting period
    because, in effect, they are temporary subaccounts to retained earnings (i.e., a part
    of stockholders' equity). They are used only for accumulation during the accounting
    period. When the period ends, these accumulated accounts must be transferred
    (closed) to retained earnings. The closing process serves to:
       Balance sheet accounts are not closed at the end of the period because they reflect
       permanent accumulated balances of assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity.
       Permanent accounts show the entity's financial position at the end of the period and
       are the beginning amounts for the next period.
12. A post-closing trial balance is a listing taken from the ledger after the adjusting and
    closing entries have been journalized and posted. It is not a necessary part of the
    accounting information processing cycle but it is useful because it demonstrates the
    equality of the debits and credits in the ledger after the closing entry has been
    journalized and posted and that all temporary accounts have zero balances.
   * Due to the nature of this project, it is very difficult to estimate the amount of time
   students will need to complete the assignment. As with any open-ended project, it is
   possible for students to devote a large amount of time to these assignments. While
   students often benefit from the extra effort, we find that some become frustrated by the
   perceived difficulty of the task. You can reduce student frustration and anxiety by
   making your expectations clear. For example, when our goal is to sharpen research
   skills, we devote class time to discussing research strategies. When we want the
   students to focus on a real accounting issue, we offer suggestions about possible
   companies or industries.

Total asset turnover ratio = Net Sales (or Operating Revenues) ÷ Average Total Assets
                           = $109,000 ÷ [($58,020 + $65,180)/2]
                           = $109,000 ÷ $61,600 = 1.77
The total asset turnover ratio indicates that, for every $1 of assets, Jay earns $1.77 in
rental revenue. This ratio is lower than the industry average total asset turnover of 2.31,
implying that Jay is less effective at utilizing assets to generate revenue than the
average company in the industry.

Net income of $3,465 is correct because this amount includes all revenues and all
expenses (after the adjusting entries). This amount incorporates the effects of the
revenue recognition and expense recognition (matching) principles applied to all
transactions whose effects extend beyond the period in which the transactions
occurred. Net income of $8,930 was not correct because expenses of $7,285 and
revenues of $1,820 were excluded that should have been recorded in the current year.
Req. 3
Earnings per share = $3,465 net income ÷ 3,000 shares = $1.16 per share
Req. 4
Total asset turnover ratio = Net Sales (or Operating Revenue) ÷ Average Total Assets
                          = $66,220 ÷ [($110,000 + $136,220)/2]
                           = $66,220 ÷ $123,110 = 0.54 (rounded to two decimal places
The total asset turnover ratio indicates that, for every $1 of assets, Ramirez generated
$0.54 in revenues. Compared to the industry average of 0.49, Ramirez is more effective
at utilizing assets to generate revenues than the average company in the industry.

Net income of $13,950 is correct because this amount includes all revenues and all
expenses (after the adjusting entries). This amount incorporates the effects of the
revenue and matching principles applied to all transactions whose effects extend
beyond the period in which the transactions occurred. Net income of $27,000 was not
correct because expenses of $22,550 and revenues of $9,500 were excluded that
should have been recorded in the current year.
Req. 3
Earnings per share = $13,950 net income ÷ 5,000 shares = $2.79 per share
Req. 4
Total asset turnover = Net Sales (or Operating Revenue) ÷ Average Total Assets
                     = $92,500 ÷ [($136,000 + $158,300)/2]
                     = $92,500 ÷ $147,150 = 0.63 (rounded to two decimal places)
The total asset turnover ratio indicates that, for every $1 of assets, Taos generated
$0.63 of service revenue. This ratio is a measure of the company’s effectiveness at
utilizing assets to generate revenue.

            This suggests that H & H Tool has sufficient current assets to pay current
            liabilities.
            This suggests that H & H Tool generated $1.50 of service revenue for every

            This result suggests that Furniture Refinishers, Inc., has sufficient current assets
            to pay current liabilities in the coming period.
(b)         Total asset turnover = Net Sales (or Operating Revenue) ÷ Average total assets
                                 = $70,000 ÷ [($26,000 + $74,000) ÷ 2]

                                 = 1.40
            This suggests that Furniture Refinishers, Inc., generates $1.40 of revenue for
            every dollar of assets.
(c)         Net profit margin                         = Net income ÷ Sales (or Operating Revenue)
                                                      = $16,000 ÷ $70,000
                                                      = 0.23 or 23%
            This suggests that Furniture Refinishers, Inc., earns $0.23 for every dollar in
            service revenue that it generates.
            For all of the ratios, a comparison across time and a comparison against an

Req. 4
Req. 5
Transaction (a):
1.     This transaction will affect Carey’s financial statements for 14 years (from the
       beginning of 2023 through the end of 2036) in conformity with the matching
       principle. [$14,000 ÷ $1,000 per year = 14 years]
2. Income statement:
      Depreciation expense, as given                                                                                            $1,000 each year
4. An adjusting entry each year over the life of the asset would be recorded to reflect
   the allocation of the cost of the asset when used to generate revenues:
Transaction (b):
1. This transaction will affect Carey’s financial statements for 2 years--2024 and 2025-
   -because four months of rent revenue was earned in 2024, and two months of rent
   revenue will be earned in 2025.
2. The 2024 income statement should report rent revenue earned of $20,000 ($30,000
   x 4/6). Occupancy was provided for only 4 months in 2024. This is in conformity
   with the revenue recognition principle.
4. Yes, an adjusting entry must be made to (a) increase the Rent Revenue account by
   $10,000 for two months’ rent earned in 2025 and (b) to decrease the liability to $0
   representing no future occupancy owed (in conformity with the revenue principle).
        December 31, 2025--Adjusting entry:
            Unearned Rent Revenue (-L) ........................ 10,000
                   Rent Revenue (+R, +SE).......................         10,000
Transaction (c):
1. This transaction will directly affect Carey’s financial statements for two years, with
   the expense incurred in 2024 and the cash payment in 2025.
2. The $7,500 should be reported as wages expense on the 2024 income statement
   and as a liability, Wages Payable, on the 2024 balance sheet. On January 5, 2025,
   the liability will be paid. Therefore, the 2025 balance sheet will reflect a reduced
   cash balance and reduced liability balance. The transaction will not directly affect
   the 2025 income statement (unless the adjusting entry was not made).
3. Yes, an adjusting entry must be made to (a) record the $7,500 as an expense in
   2024 (following the expense recognition (matching) principle) and (b) to record the
   liability which will be paid in 2025.
           December 31, 2024--Adjusting entry:
              Wages expense (+E, -SE) .............................   7,500
                     Wages payable (+L) .............................       7,500
Note: On January 5, 2025, the liability, Wages Payable, of $7,500 will be paid. Wages
      Expense for 2025 will not include this $7,500. The 2025 related entry will debit
      (decrease) Wages Payable, and credit (decrease) Cash, $7,500.
Transaction (d):
1. Yes, service revenue of $45,000 (i.e., $60,000 x 3/4) should be recorded as earned
   by Carey in conformity with the revenue principle. Service revenue is recognized as
   the service is performed in the amount the company expects to be entitled to
   receive.
2. Recognition of revenue earned but not collected by the end of 2024 requires an
   adjusting entry. This adjusting entry is necessary to (a) record the revenue earned
   (to be reported on the 2024 income statement) and (b) record the related account
   receivable (an asset to be reported on the 2024 balance sheet). The adjusting entry
   on December 31, 2024 is:
      Accounts receivable (+A) ........................................... 45,000
             Service revenue (+R, +SE) ..............................             45,000
      ($60,000 total price x 3/4 completed)
3. February 15, 2025--Completion of the last phase of the service contract and cash

Req. 3
Omission of the adjusting entries caused:
   (a) Net income to be overstated by $27,050.
   (b) Total assets to be overstated by $13,200.
   (c) Total liabilities to be understated by $13,850.
Req. 4
(a) Earnings per share:
      Unadjusted -- $38,000 net income ÷ 10,000 shares = $3.80 per share
      Adjusted -- $10,950 net income ÷ 10,000 shares = $1.10 per share (rounded)
(b) Total asset turnover:
    Unadjusted -- $85,000 revenue ÷ [($46,400 + $82,000)/2] average total assets
                   $85,000 ÷ $64,200 = 1.32
    Adjusted -- $78,000 revenue ÷ [($46,400 + $68,800)/2] average total assets
                   $78,000 ÷ $57,600 = 1.35
Each of the ratios was affected by inclusion of the adjustments with net income,
revenue, and assets decreasing.
   • For earnings per share, the numerator net income decreased while the
      denominator did not, resulting in a significantly lower figure.
   • For the total asset turnover ratio, both the numerator and denominator
      decreased, but the denominator average total assets decreased by a higher
      percentage (10.28%) than the percentage decrease (8.24%) in the numerator
      revenues, causing an increase in the ratio.

Req. 4
Req. 5
a. $9,000 revenue target based on cash sales:
      This target is not clearly defined. Does management mean any cash
      subscriptions received during the period? Your region generated $36,000 in cash
      subscriptions. By this assumption, your region far exceeded the company’s
      target. You may be entitled to a generous bonus due to your strong performance.
            On the other hand, management may mean any sales revenue earned that has
            also been received in cash during the period. Under this assumption, sales
            revenue earned and received in cash is $7,000 (the accrual accounting basis
            amount). If this is the company’s intention of its target, then your region did not
            meet the goal, only generating 77.8% of the target. You may need to provide an
            analysis to management regarding this below par performance.
