This practice exam is in the same multiple-choice format as is the actual exam.
This practice exam contains many more questions than does the actual exam; the
actual exam has only 25 questions.
Every topic covered in a question on the actual exam is addressed in one or
more questions on the practice exam.
Some of the questions on the actual exam will be more difficult than these practice
exam questions; some of the questions will be less difficult.
Of course, no question on the actual exam will be exactly like any question on this
practice exam.
A few of the questions are similar to questions that were on the Blackboard quizzes.
The best way to use the practice exam is to allow it to guide your study of the
material you need to know to do well on the actual exam. You should do the
following.
Complete the practice exam questions WITHOUT peeking at the answers.
Only in this way will you be able to make an accurate assessment of
whether you understand the question material.
Go back to the underlying material either Enhancement Day material or
Blackboard quiz material to study the topics that you dont understand on
the practice exam.
Dont get the mistaken impression that if you memorize every question on
the practice exam you will nail the actual exam. We are familiar with all of
the questions on the practice exam, and we intentionally make the actual
exam questions different. Our intent is to reward students who are not rote
memorizers but who instead attempt to understand the concepts and the
techniques of setting up problems.

Solutions
1.
The answer is D. Financial accounting reports are used primarily by creditors and investors and
are based on generally accepted accounting principles that are standardized across companies.
Financial accounting reports do NOT include budget information; this type of information is
kept internal to the company and is reported in managerial accounting reports.

Solution: c.
By definition, gross profit is the amount of sales revenue left, after taking out the cost of goods sold,
to cover other expenses.
Therefore, Gross Profit = Sales Revenue Cost of Goods Sold
By using algebra, Cost of Goods Sold = Sales Revenue Gross Profit
In this problem, Cost of Goods Sold = $500,000 $200,000 = $300,000
None of the other accounts were relevant in determining this answer.

Solution: c.
Tarazi received $3,600 for a years worth of services. Assuming the services were performed equally
each month, this $3,600 payment covers $300 of services each month. If Tarazi had received this
prepayment on January 1, then no adjusting entry would be necessary because all of the services
would have been performed and the recognition of $3,600 of revenue would be justified. However, at
the end of the year, Tarazi still has an obligation to perform 3 months (or $900) of services. Thus,
Tarazi can only recognize the portion of Sales Revenue that has actually been earned for the year
which is 9 months (or $2,700) of services. Accordingly, the following entries were made:
Aug. 1
Dec. 31
Service Revenue

Revenue, expense, and dividend accounts are subcategories of retained earnings. These accounts are
closed to retained earnings at the end of the year. In this example, because this is the companys first
year of business, the beginning balance in retained earnings is zero.
Assets Liabilities = Stockholders Equity
$484,000 - $299,000 = $185,000

Solution: c
The number of days purchases in accounts payable reveals the average length of time that elapses
between the purchase of inventory on account and the cash payment for that inventory.
Number of Days Purchases = _
365 Days
_
In Accounts Payable
Purchases/Average Accounts Payable
Average Accounts Payable (A/P)= *[A/P (ending balance) A/P (beginning balance)]
Amount of Inventory Purchased during the Year = Cost of Goods Sold for the year + the change in
Inventory (ending balance beginning balance) for the year
Average Accounts Payable = ($46,858 + $50,228)/2 = $48,543
Purchases = $500,385 + ($165,225 - $109,861) = $555,749
Number of Days Purchases in Accounts Payable = 365 / ($555,749 / $48,543) = 32 days

Solution: d.
Times interest earned is the ratio of the income that is available for interest payments to the annual
interest expense. This ratio serves as an indication of the borrowing companys ability to meet the
required interest payments.
Times interest earned = Income before interest and taxes (operating profit)
Annual interest expense
Income before interest and taxes = Net income + Interest expense + Income tax expense
Income before interest and taxes is often called EBIT (earnings before interest and taxes).

Solution: a.
The DuPont framework provides a systematic approach for breaking down return on equity into
three ratios: profit margin (profitability), asset turnover (efficiency), and assets-to-equity ratio
(leverage)
Return on equity = Profitability * Efficiency * Leverage

17. Solution a
EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes = Operating income
EBIT = Sales - Cost of Goods Sold Operating Expenses
EBIT = $1,000 - $600 - $220 = $180
Interest Expense = $40
Times interest earned = EBIT / Interest Expense = $180 / $40 = 4.5

This practice exam is in the same multiple-choice format as is the actual exam.
This practice exam contains many more questions than does the actual exam; the
actual exam has only 25 questions.
Every topic covered in a question on the actual exam is addressed in one or
more questions on the practice exam.
Some of the questions on the actual exam will be more difficult than these practice
exam questions; some of the questions will be less difficult.
Of course, no question on the actual exam will be exactly like any question on this
practice exam.
A few of the questions are similar to questions that were on the Blackboard quizzes.
The best way to use the practice exam is to allow it to guide your study of the
material you need to know to do well on the actual exam. You should do the
following.
Complete the practice exam questions WITHOUT peeking at the answers.
Only in this way will you be able to make an accurate assessment of
whether you understand the question material.
Go back to the underlying material either Enhancement Day material or
Blackboard quiz material to study the topics that you dont understand on
the practice exam.
Dont get the mistaken impression that if you memorize every question on
the practice exam you will nail the actual exam. We are familiar with all of
the questions on the practice exam, and we intentionally make the actual
exam questions different. Our intent is to reward students who are not rote
memorizers but who instead attempt to understand the concepts and the
techniques of setting up problems.

Payments of dividends
Proceeds received from sale of equipment
Proceeds from issuance of common stock
11,250
225,000
56,250
6.
Solution D
Entries on the debit side of the accumulated depreciation account are associated with equipment that
has been sold. Entries to the credit side are associated with depreciation expense for the period.
Because we know depreciation expense for the period and we know the beginning and ending
balances in the account, we can infer the accumulated depreciation associated with the equipment
that was sold.
Accumulated Depreciation
$
2,000 Beginning Balance
800 Depreciation Expense
Sale of Equipment*
1,400
$
1,400 Ending Balance
*$1,400 = $2,000 + 800 - 1,400
Since we know the book value of the equipment sold, we can back into the historical cost of the
equipment sold. The sale of equipment decreases the PP&E account. Because we know the ending
and beginning balances and we know the historical cost of the equipment sold, the purchases of
equipment becomes the plug figure for the T-account to balance. (Purchases of equipment increase
PP&E.)
Property, Plant, & Equipment
Beginning Balance $
7,000
2,600 Sale of Equipment*
Purchases** $
3,000
Ending Balance $
7,400
*$2,600 = $1,200 book value + 1,400 accumulated depreciation
**$3,000 = $7,400 - 7,000 + 2,600
The following journal entry would have been made to record the sale of the equipment:
Cash
1,100
Accumulated Depreciation
1,400
Loss on Sale of Equipment
100
Property, Plant, & Equipment
2,600
7.
Solution C
The best way to solve for purchases is to create the T-accounts for Accumulated Depreciation and for
Property, Plant & Equipment. (As a side note, the fact that accumulated depreciation ending
balance and PP&E purchases are equal is coincidencethis will not always be the case!)
Accumulated Depreciation
$
50,000 Beginning Balance
2,000 Depreciation Expense
Sale of Equipment*
7,000
Sale of Equipment**
3,000
$
42,000 Ending Balance
* 7,000 = 9,000 historical cost - 2,000 book value
** 3,000 = 3,000 historical cost - 0 book value (fully depreciated)
(Note: The debits to accumulated depreciation could be netted to $10,000)
In this problem, depreciation expense is not given, but you can compute it using the other data given.
However, you dont need to compute depreciation expense to do the problem.
Property, Plant, & Equipment
Beginning Balance $
70,000
9,000 Sale of Equipment*
3,000 Sale of Equipment*
Purchases** $
42,000
Ending Balance $
100,000
*This number could be netted to $12,000
**42,000 = 100,000 - 70,000 + 9,000 + 3,000
8.
solution B
The best way to see where the solution comes from is by using T-accounts. Of all the accounts listed,
only Buildings and Land impact the net cash provided by investing activities.
Buildings
42,000
Purchases*
55,000
0 Buildings Sold
97,000
*55,000 = 97,000 - 42,000
Land
20,000
Purchases*
15,000

*15,000 = 35,000 - 20,000
($55,000)

The first thing to do is classify the various cash receipts and payments as operating, financing, or
investing cash flows.

We know that Owners Equity is composed of two componentscommon stock and retained
earnings. The retained earnings account can be further classified as net income minus dividends
paid. Thus, to find the correct answer, the Retained Earnings T-account should be used. Because
the beginning and ending balances and the net income are all given, the amount of dividends paid
becomes the plug figure to make the T-account balance.

solution C
An accounts receivable DECREASE would create an increase in cash flow. The matrix shows -40.
An inventory DECREASE would create an increase in cash flow. The matrix shows -50.
A wages payable INCREASE would create an increase in cash flow. The matrix shows +15, so this is
correct.

solution F
FREE CASH FLOW = Operating cash flow plus investing cash flow
$1,200 inflow + $2,000 outflow = $800 outflow
30.
solution B
The (5,000) associated with the change in inventory means that the inventory
INCREASED, using more cash.
The 7,000 associated with the change in accounts receivable means that the accounts
receivable DECREASED, generating extra cash.
Depreciation does NOT create cash.
