...Chapter 3 Accrual Accounting and the Financial Statements Questions 1. Under accrual accounting, the accountant recognizes the impact of a business transaction on an entity when the transaction occurs, whether or not cash is received or paid. Revenues are recognized when they are earned, and expenses are recognized when they are incurred—not necessarily when the cash changes hands. The cash basis of accounting recognizes revenues only when cash is received and expenses only when cash is paid. 2. The revenue principle provides guidance on (a) when to record revenue. (b) the amount of revenue to record. 3. The matching principle directs the accounting for expenses. Accountants identify all the expenses incurred during the period, measure those expenses, and match them against the revenue earned during the period. Matching expenses against revenues means to subtract the expenses from the revenues to compute net income or net loss for the period. Chapter 3 Accrual Accounting and the Financial Statements 153 4. Five categories of adjusting entries, with examples, are: a. Prepaid expenses — prepaid rent, prepaid insurance, and supplies b. Amortization — amortization of buildings, furniture, and equipment c. Accrued expenses — accrued salary expense and accrued interest expense d. Accrued revenues — accrued service revenue and accrued interest revenue e. Unearned revenues — unearned service revenue and unearned subscription revenue 5. Yes, all adjusting entries affect...

...ECON545 Quiz 2 Guidelines Recall that Keller courses are built around Terminal Course Objectives (TCOs). At the conclusion of the course, you will even be asked to rate the extent to which the TCOs have been covered. There are 9 TCOs specified for GM545. Review the TCOs by clicking on Course Syllabus at the top of the course home page, and then clicking on the Terminal Course Objectives link. Also, please note that the TCO(s) to be covered during any given week are specified in the Objective section for that course week. Quiz 2 addresses material covered in Weeks 4 and 5 of the course. The TCOs at issue are: Course Objective Description E Given an introduction to key macroeconomic variables, distinguish between real and nominal output variables, between various inflation measures, and demonstrate the derivation of the unemployment rate; assess the sensitivity of strategic policy decisions based on these measures to the quality of available statistical data. F Given increasing interdependencies between trading nations and the analogy of foreign currency as a commodity, analyze the effects of demand and supply pressures on exchange rates; students must demonstrate an understanding of trade barriers in general, as well as the effectiveness of institutional entities (e.g., GATT, NAFTA, and EU). You will note that the problems that have been assigned from the book focus on these TCOs. The problems address the basics while Discussions topics focus on applications...

Therefore, the long introduction has been shortened, the confusing diagram (former Figure 12-2) has been removed, and the extra part concerning outline of the chapter has been removed. The derivation of the IS curve section has been rewritten at the beginning. Box 11-1 and Box 11-2 and 11-3 are new The LM curve section has been rewritten to make it more clear, and the relevant diagrams are now side by side, which makes much more sense. The last section of the chapter is rewritten to show the comparative statics of shifts in IS and LM; this serves as a good introduction to Chapter 12. Learning...

...CHAPTER 17 Process Costing Overview This chapter explains how process-costing systems determine the cost of products or services. In the simplest case, a process has no beginning or ending work-in-process inventory. Considerable complexity is added when a process has both beginning and ending work-in-process inventory; this case necessitates selecting an inventory costflow method. The chapter illustrates two of these methods: the weighted-average method and the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. Many detailed exhibits are included in the chapter because process costing is highly procedural. The chapter also explains how operation-costing systems determine the cost of products. The Appendix to the chapter describes the standard-costing method of process costing. Case 1 Case 2 Case 3 Beginning Inventory No No Yes Ending Inventory No Yes Yes 3. Case 1 is simple because there is no workin-process inventory in the Assembly Department. That is, all units of SG-40 are started and completed during the accounting period. The unit cost of the 400 units of SG-40 in this case is computed as follows: Direct material costs $32,000 ÷ 400 Conversion costs $24,000 ÷ 400 Cost per unit $ 80 60 $140 Highlights 1. In a process-costing system, the unit cost of a product (or service) is obtained by assigning total costs to many identical or similar units of output. A process-costing system separates costs into cost categories according...

...Chapter 8: Profit Maximization and Competitive Supply CHAPTER 8 PROFIT MAXIMIZATION AND COMPETITIVE SUPPLY TEACHING NOTES This chapter begins by explaining what we mean by a competitive market and why it makes sense to assume that firms try to maximize profit. The chapter then covers the choice of optimal output in the short run, thereby revealing the underlying structure of short-run supply curves, the choice of output in the long run and long-run competitive equilibrium. Along the way, the concepts of producer surplus and economic rent are introduced, and the chapter ends with development of the long-run industry supply curve. Section 8.1 identifies the three basic assumptions of perfect competition and section 8.2 discusses the assumption of profit maximization as the goal of the firm. Students often find some of these assumptions to be unrealistic and/or very restrictive, so it is important to acknowledge that the world is more complex, but remind them that our goal is prediction. Although the world does not work quite as simply as the model of perfect competition suggests, the model predicts quite well even when some of the assumptions hold loosely at best. To put perfect competition in perspective, it can be helpful to give a brief overview of monopoly, oligopoly, and monopolistic competition before or after presenting the assumptions of perfect competition. Restrict this discussion to identifying the number of firms in the industry, product differentiation...
