2. The correct answer is b. Failure to record a liability will have no effect on net income.
3. The correct answer is d. The total amount of interest to be paid over the life of the loan is $21,000.
5. The correct answer is d. If bonds have been issued at a discount, the carrying value of the bonds will decrease over the life of the bonds.
To check your answers to these accounting questions, I'll go through each question and explain how to arrive at the correct answer.
1. The current portion of long-term debt should:
The correct answer is d. be classified as a long-term liability. To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the concept of current portion of long-term debt. The current portion of long-term debt refers to the portion of a long-term debt that is due to be repaid within one year. It is considered a long-term liability because it will be repaid beyond the current operating cycle of the business (which is usually one year). Therefore, the current portion of long-term debt should be classified as a long-term liability on the balance sheet.
2. Failure to record a liability will probably:
The correct answer is b. have no effect on net income. To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the impact of failing to record a liability. When a liability is not recorded, it means that the corresponding expense is not recognized. However, since the expense is not recorded, it does not affect net income. However, failing to record a liability will result in an understatement of total liabilities and could potentially result in an overstatement of total assets.
3. The total amount of interest to be paid over the life of the loan is:
The correct answer is d. $21,000. To determine the correct answer, you need to calculate the total interest based on the loan details provided. The loan amount is $300,000, and the interest rate is 7% per year. The loan requires annual payments of $114,315. To calculate the total interest paid over the life of the loan, subtract the loan amount from the total payments made: $300,000 - $114,315 = $185,685. Therefore, the total interest paid over the life of the loan is $185,685 - $300,000 = $21,000.
4. If bonds have been issued at a discount, then over the life of the bonds the:
The correct answer is d. carrying value of the bonds will decrease. To determine the correct answer, you need to understand the concept of bond discount. When bonds are issued at a discount, it means that the bonds are sold at a price below their face value. This discount needs to be amortized over the life of the bonds, which means that the carrying value of the bonds will decrease over time. The carrying value is the face value of the bonds minus the unamortized discount. Therefore, if bonds are issued at a discount, the carrying value of the bonds will decrease over the life of the bonds.
By following these explanations, you should be able to check your answers to these accounting questions.
