What is the purpose of information presented in notes to the financial statements?
Choice 'a' is correct. Information presented in notes to the financial statements have the purpose of providing disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles. SFAC 5 para. 7
On January 2, 1993, Quo, Inc. hired Reed to be its controller. During the year, Reed, working closely with Quo's president and outside accountants, made changes in accounting policies, corrected several errors dating from 1992 and before, and instituted new accounting policies.
Quo's 1993 financial statements will be presented in comparative form with its 1992 financial statements.
This question represents one of Quo's transactions. List A represents possible clarifications of these transactions as: a change in accounting principle, a change in accounting estimate, a correction of an error in previously presented financial statements, or neither an accounting change nor an accounting error.
Item to Be Answered
Quo changed from LIFO to FIFO to account for its finished goods inventory.
List A (Select one)
Choice 'a' is correct. Change from LIFO to FIFO is a change in accounting principle.
Which of the following factors determines whether an identified segment of an enterprise should be reported in the enterprise's financial statements under SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information?
1. The segment's assets constitute more than 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments.
2. The segment's liabilities constitute more than 10% of the combined liabilities of all operating segments.
Choice 'a' is correct. For segment reporting, if an identified segment's assets constitute more than 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments, the segment should be reported. The same rule does not apply for the segment's liabilities. The candidate does have to remember the 10% and also the 10% of 'what.'
Choice 'b' is incorrect. For segment reporting, if an identified segment's assets constitute more than 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments, the segment should be reported. The same rule does not apply for the segment's liabilities.
Choice 'c' is incorrect. For segment reporting, if an identified segment's assets constitute more than 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments, the segment should be reported. The same rule does not apply for the segment's liabilities, so the correct answer cannot be 'Both.'
Choice 'd' is incorrect. For segment reporting, if an identified segment's assets constitute more than 10% of the combined assets of all operating segments, the segment should be reported. The correct answer cannot be 'Neither.'
Is the cumulative effect of an inventory pricing change on prior years earnings reported on the financial statements for
Choice 'b' is correct. The cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle is now reported as an adjustment to beginning retained earnings when it is considered practicable to calculate the cumulative effect. When making a change to LIFO, it is generally considered impracticable to calculate the cumulative effect of the change (in most cases, data on the historical LIFO layers in not available). In a change to LIFO, the beginning inventory dollar amount becomes the first LIFO layer. No cumulative effect adjustment is made. The change is accounted for prospectively.
A change from LIFO to weighted average, there is no such impracticability. The cumulative effect is computed and the change is handled retrospectively.
Choices 'a', 'c', and 'd' are incorrect, per the above Explanation: .
During 1990, Fuqua Steel Co. had the following unusual financial events occur:
* Bonds payable were retired five years before their scheduled maturity, resulting in a $260,000 gain. Fuqua has frequently retired bonds early when interest rates declined significantly.
* A steel forming segment suffered $255,000 in losses due to hurricane damage. This was the fourth similar loss sustained in a 5-year period at that location.
* A component of Fuqua's operations, steel transportation, was sold at a net loss of $350,000.
This was Fuqua's first divestiture of one of its operating segments.
Before income taxes, what amount of gain (loss) should be reported separately as a component of income from continuing operations in 1990?
Choice 'b' is correct. $5,000.
The steel forming segment's hurricane damage (4th in 5 years) of $255,000 is only 'unusual in nature' and does not occur infrequently, therefore, it is not an 'extraordinary item,' and should be reported separately as a component of 'income from continuing operations.'
The retirement of debt, although unusual, is not infrequent for the company; therefore, the gain does not qualify for classification as an extraordinary item per APBO No. 30 (and SFAS No. 145).
