Following this approach, why is a loss on sale of a land added to net income in computing net cash flow from operating activities. Group of answer choices The amount of the loss recognized was not equal to the cash received The sale resulted in a cash receipt in an accounting period different from the period in which the loss was recognized This type of transaction is not classified as an operating activity. The sale of land did not result in the receipt of any cash Question 15 An income statement is the primary source of information needed to evaluate a firm’s: Group of answer choices Solvency Operating Capability Performance Financial Flexibility Question 16 In a multi-step income statement, which of the following would be classified as an operating expense? Group of answer choices Depreciation Expense Interest Expense Cost of Goods Sold Income Taxes Expense Question 17 In a statement of cash flows, the term cash includes: Group of answer choices Only bank accounts and cash on hand Bank accounts, cash on hand and cash equivalents Bank accounts, cash on hand, cash equivalents and marketable securities classified as current assets. Only money on deposit in bank accounts Question 18 A statement of cash flow is not intended to assist investors in evaluating: Group of answer choices The profitability of business operations. Non-cash aspects of investing and financing activities. Reasons for differences between the amount of net income and net cash flow from operations The company’s ability to meet its obligations and to pay dividends. Question 19 Which of the following is not classified among the investing activities in a statement of cash flows?

Group of answer choices Non-operating gains and losses Depreciation Expense Timing differences between credit sales and collections from customers Payment of a cash dividend Question 21 Which of the following statements regarding the direct and indirect methods of reporting cash flow from operating activities is false? Group of answer choices The direct method shows the specific cash inflows and outflows constituting the operating activities of the business The direct and the indirect method can be used to present the cash flow Under the indirect method, the computation of net cash flow from operating activities begins with net income as shown in the income statement. Although both methods result in the same net increase or decrease in cash for the year, net cash flow from operating activities will be different under the two methods. Question 22 Which of the following transactions would not appear on a statement of cash flows prepared by the direct method? Group of answer choices A net loss from operations Payment of last year’s income tax liability The payment of cash dividends that were declared last year The amount paid to acquire treasury stock Question 23 Assume that net sales are increasing faster than the rate of inflation, and that the company’s gross profit rate is rising. Of the following, the most logical conclusion is that: Group of answer choices The company has achieved an increase in sale volume by reducing its sales prices The company’s cost of purchasing merchandise is rising rapidly Demand for the company’s products is very strong Operating expenses are falling Question 24 For purposes of preparing a cash flow statement, which of the following is not considered cash equivalent? Group of answer choices A money market fund Commercial paper An investment in bonds Treasury bills Question 25 When net cash flow from operating activities is presented by the direct method, the statement of cash flow is accompanied by supplementary schedule reconciling: Group of answer choices Net income with net cash flow from operating activities Net cash flow from operating activities with net sales Net income with the net increase or decrease in cash and cash equivalents Net cash flow from operating activities shown in the statement with that which would result from use of the indirect method Question 26 Which statement is true? Group of answer choices In the statement of cash flows, the sale of treasury stock for cash is classified as a financing activity, while the purchase of treasury stock for cash is classified as an investing activity. Both stock dividends and stock splits reduce the book value per share. The sale of treasury stock at a price in excess of cost results in a realized gain that should be presented as a non-operating item in the income statement. The purchase of treasury stock for cash causes no change in total assets. Question 27 Which statement is true? Group of answer choices Retained Earnings represents the cash available for dividends. Neither stock dividends nor stock splits cause any change in the total amount of stockholders equity. In a dividend action by the board of directors, the date of record usually follows the date of payment. When a corporation presents both “primary” and “fully diluted” earnings per share, primary earnings per share will be the smaller of the two figures. Question 28 The return on assets usually is computed as: Group of answer choices Net sales divided by average total assets Gross Profit divided by average total assets Operating income divided by average total assets Net income divided by average total assets Question 29 A successful and growing business is most likely to show a negative cash flow from: Group of answer choices Transactions with customers Investing Activities Operating Activities Financing Activities Question 30 In a statement of cash flows, cash transfers between a bank and a money market fund are classified as: Group of answer choices Operating activities None of the above Financing activities Investing activities Question 31 Which of the following transactions would increase the net cash flow from operating activities? Group of answer choices The purchase of delivery truck by issuing a note payable. The sale of equipment for cash at a gain. The issuance of capital stock for cash at a price above par The collection of an account receivable from a customer Question 32 Which of the following accounts will not appear on a post-closing trial balance? Group of answer choices Retained Earnings Accounts Payable Dividends Dividends Payable Question 33 Owners assume greater personal liability for the debts of: Group of answer choices Small corporations Large corporations Companies with debt ratios over 50% Unincorporated businesses Question 34 Which statement is false? Group of answer choices Fully diluted earnings per share represents a hypothetical case, showing what earnings per share would be if certain securities were converted into additional shares of common stock. An income statement for a year in which a segment of the business has been discontinued shows both earnings per share from continuing operations and net earnings per share. The earning per share statistic indicates the total amount of a corporation’s assets that which belong to each shareholder. The amount of cash dividends paid to common stockholder does not enter into the computation of earnings per share. Question 35 Which statement is false? Group of answer choices A company may issue a stock dividend in lieu of cash dividend when it wishes to declare dividends in some form but is short on cash. When par value common stock is issued, Common Stock is credited with the par value of the shares issued, regardless of whether the issuance price is equal to par or more than par. The Retained Earnings account is a reservoir of cash used to pay dividends and make capital expenditures. Appropriations of Retained Earnings are rare Question 36 In a classified balance sheet, the asset categories usually include: Group of answer choices Current assets and non-current assets Cash and non-current assets Operating assets and non-operating assets Current assets, plant and equipment and other assets Question 37 Which of the following sets of data is sufficient to compute the amount of cash paid for merchandise? Group of answer choices Increase or decrease in cash, increase or decrease in inventory, increase or decrease in accounts payable Cost of Goods sold, increase or decrease in inventory, increase or decrease in accounts payable. Cost of goods sold, increase or decrease in accounts payable Cost of goods sold Question 38 Which statement is true? Group of answer choices Discontinued Operations need not be a segment of the business in order to qualify for separate presentation in the income statement. A loss due to strike of a company’s employees is an extraordinary loss. Retained Earnings deficits occur frequently in corporations that are “going concerns”. A segment of a business represents a separate distinct line of business activity or that provides a service to a distinct category of customers. Question 39 Which of the following indicated cash receipts? Group of answer choices A decrease in accrued expenses, such as wages payable A decrease in accounts receivable A decrease in accounts payable An increase in inventory Question 40 Which of the following is true? Group of answer choices Common stock may be issued in exchange for cash but not for noncash assets. Stocks must have either par value or stated value. If a corporation has cumulative preferred stock and it fails to pay cash dividend, the cash dividend to the preferred stockholders is said to be in arrears. The cumulative feature of preferred stock guarantees that the preferred shareholders will receive cash dividends Question 41 Excess Paid In capital would never be associated with Group of answer choices Treasury stock No par stock Authorized but unissued stock Issued but not outstanding stock Excess Question 42 The “bottom line” in a statement of cash flows shows: Group of answer choices Net increase or decrease in cash during the period The cash (including cash equivalents) on the balance sheet at the end of the period Net income, computed by cash basis of accounting Net cash flow from operating activities Question 43 Which statement is false? Group of answer choices A small stock dividend increases total stockholders’ equity by the market value of the shares. A stock dividend is a distribution of additional shares to common stockholders in proportion to their holdings. A distribution of cash by a corporation to its stockholders is called a cash dividend. When recording a small stock dividend, the debit to the Retained earnings account must be equal to the current market value of the stock. Question 44 KKK Corporation’s reported net income for 2010 is more than its net cash flow from operating activities. One reason for this could be: Group of answer choices A decrease in inventory levels during 2010 An error in the preparation of the statement of cash flows: net income should be less than or equal to net cash flow from operating activities The sale of machinery at a gain in 2010 The sale of investments at a loss in 2010 Question 45 Which of the following statement is false? Group of answer choices Computing Earnings Per Share by dividing the company’s net income by the number of common shares outstanding is acceptable when the corporation has common stock only, and the number of shares has not changed during the year. The resulting loss from discontinued operations is shown in the income statement net of income taxes. The earnings per share on net earnings is less significant than the earnings from continuing operations when evaluating the possible future operating results. When there are preferred dividends in arrears, the dividend in arrears and the year’s cumulative dividends are deducted in the earnings per share computation. Question 46 In the long run it is most important for a business to generate positive cash flow from its: Group of answer choices None of the above, in terms of generating positive cash flow, these activities are of equal importance Financing Activities Operating Activities Investing Activities Question 47 In a multi-step income statement, income taxes are not classified as operating expense because: Group of answer choices Income taxes do not contribute to the production of revenue Not all forms of business organization are subject to income taxes Income taxes stem from the manner in which assets are financed, not the manner in which they are used in business operations The statement is incorrect; income taxes are classified as operating expense Question 48 Which statement is false? Group of answer choices One of the requirements to declare a cash dividend is having adequate retained earnings. The price earnings ratio is computed by dividing the current market price per share of the common stock by the par value per share of the common stock Net Income applicable to common stock divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the year is called the basic earnings per share. Diluted earnings per share are computed under the assumption that all convertible securities have been converted into additional common shares at the beginning of the period. Question 49 Which of the following is true? Group of answer choices A liability cannot be classified as current if its maturity date is beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date. Liabilities with uncertain amounts, uncertain due dates and uncertain payees cannot be included among the liabilities in the balance sheet. Notes payable discounted is a contingent liability. Trade liabilities are classified as current liabilities even if their maturity date is beyond 12 months from the balance sheet date. Question 50 The quick ratio: Group of answer choices Is always higher than the current ratio May be higher or lower than the current ratio Cannot be higher than the current ratio Is computed by dividing current assets by current liabilities Question 51 On October 12, 20x1, Jocelyn Corporation invested P700,000 in short-term available for sale marketable securities. The market value of this investment was P730,000 at December 31, 20x1, but had slipped to P725,000 by December 31, 20x2.

A P725,000 debit to Investments in Marketable Securities. A P25,000 credit to Unrealized Holding Gain on Investments. A P5,000 debit to Unrealized Holding Gain on Investments. Question 52 The purpose of the mark-to-market adjustment for securities classified as “FVOCI securities” is: Group of answer choices To recognize the proper amount of gain or loss on fluctuations in the market value of these securities in the current period income statement. To adjust a corporation’s capital stock account to reflect the current market value of the outstanding capital stock. To adjust the valuation of a company’s investment to current market value. Both A and B are correct. Question 53 Investments in FVOCI securities: Group of answer choices Are adjusted to current market value at the end of each accounting period. May be reported in the balance sheet at market values lower than cost, but never at values in excess of original cost. Are carried in the accounting records at current market values, and therefore do not generate gains or losses when sold at market values. Only include investments in the capital stock of publicly traded corporations.
