17.
Sales tax payable = Gross sales * 7% / 107% = ($3,500,000*7%)/107% = $228,971.96
Hence, correct answer is (b) $228,972
18.
Correct answer is (b)
Out of $26,000 initial estimate, $13,000 has already been accounted as expense and liability during first six months. The six months expense and liability as per actual bill should be $12,500 ($25,000/2). The excess expense and liability of $500 has to be reversed.
19.
Correct answer is (b) $150,000
The equipment shall be recorded at the purchase price of $150,000 by crediting the long term note by the fair value of note.
18.
Interest expense = $115,000 * 10% = $11,500
Correct answer is (a) $11,500
19.
Discount reported on issue of note = $150,000 - $115,000 = $35,000
Interest paid = $150,000 * 3% = $4,500
Discount on notes payable amortised = $11,500 - $4,500 = $7,000
Discount reported on December 31, 20X0 = $35,000 - $7,000 = $28,000
Correct answer is (d) $28,000
