    Multiple Accounting Homework Questions
    The net income of Reliable Provision company decreased sharply during 2007. Clay Rollins, owner of the store, anticipates the need for a bank loan in 2008. Late in 2007, he instructed the accountant to record a $70,000 sale of recreational gear to the Smith family, even though the goods will not be shipped from the manufacturer until January 2008. Rollins told the accountant not to make the following adjusting entries:


    Salary owed to employees: $1,000

    Expired prepaid insurance: $500


    Is income overstated or understated? Why did Rollins take these actions? Are they ethical? Give reasons for your answer. As a friend, what advice would you give the accountant?

    On December 31, 2008, Tie one On reported net income for the year of $265000 and the following account balance?
    On December 31, 2008, Tie one On reported net income for the year of $265000 and the following account balances: Cash $175000, Accounts receivable $21000, Prepaid rent $6000, Equipment and Furnishing $230000, Accumulated depreciation-Equipment and Furnishing ($43000), Accounts payable $39000, Wages payable $13000, Owners Equity (including net income of $265000) $337000.
    After this information was prepaid, the bookkeeper discovered that they failed to prepare two adjusting entries. These were not reflected in the balance shown. Here is the information on these two entries (1) The prepaid rent account was paid on April, 2008, for one year for $6000. The account has been adjusted since. (2) A bill received in January for utilities incurred in December 2008 for $1400 was mistakenly not entered into system
    Please calculate the year end corrected balances for the following three accounts. Assets, liabilities, and equity. You can enter your answer in the following format for each category.
    Assets= $X (Show your work in parentheses numbers only) no title necessary
    Liabilities = $X (Show your work in parentheses numbers only) no title necessary
    Equity = $X (Show your work in parentheses numbers only) no title necessary

    1) The prepaid rent account was paid on April, 2008, for one year for $6000. The account has been adjusted since.
    6,000 x 8/12 = 4,000 adustment
    Dr Rent Expense 4,000 (decrease equity)

    Both entries are for expenses, so expenses are understated.

    Now you should have an idea of whether net income is overstated or understated.

    The actions are not ethical.

    It's nice that you copied all your homework questions. But did you read the sticky note first? Could have saved you some time.

    We won't do your homework questions for you.
    You were given the assignment for you to learn.
    There are plenty of resources on the web for you to research this.

    If you come up with your own answer and post it for us to critique that is within reason.
    If you have some SPECIFIC questions that you couldn't find or didn't understand, we may help with that.
    But this is your assignment, show us you have at least attempted to complete it on your own.
    Thank you.

    LaJuana did you read the guidelines for posting homework? I think not!!

    You need to prepare a statement of Stockholders Equity. If you do not know how to do this I suggest you look in your accounting textbook for examples of what a Statement of Stockholders equity looks like.

    Also you sholud not be giving out reddies because you do not know how to follow this site's rules regarding homework. Also you do not even know how to post a proper question!!

    I am sorry, it is you that is being rude, that is not allowed here on this site. I will be forced to delete or close your thread if you do not wish to follow site rules.

    First you have been told several times, that we do not "DO" you home work for you, but if you will show up or tell us what you think and what you would do first, we can offer advice on how you can do things or what you should consider.

    Also your report of the thread has been ignored since you merely reported an expert who was trying to tell you the rules

    Gross Profit is revenues minus Cost of Sales(COGS).

    Operating expenses are your expenses except for income taxes.

    Pretax income is revenues minus expenses other than your income tax expense. Also known as EBIT (Earnings before Income Taxes)

    Net income is EBIT minus income tax.

    Earnings per Share (EPS) is Net Income divided by average Shares Outstanding.
