In-Class Exercise Chapter 1 Name Victoria Scavone _______________________________ 1. Use this information to answer the following questions : Alpaca Corporation had revenues of $200,000 in its first year of operations. The company has not collected on $20,000 of its sales and still owes $25,000 on $70,000 of merchandise it purchased. The company had no inventory on hand at the end of the year. The company paid $15,000 in salaries. Owners invested $20,000 in the business and $20,000 was borrowed on a five-year note. The company paid $2,000 in interest that was the amount owed for the year, and paid $6,000 for a two-year insurance policy on the first day of business. Alpaca has an effective income tax rate of 40% (Assuming that tax is paid in cash). 1) Compute net income for the first year for Alpaca Corporation. 2) Compute the cash balance at the end of the first year for Alpaca Corporation. 1. Net Income = Revenue – Expense = $200,000 – (70000 + 15000+2000+3000) = $110,000 After Tax Net Income = 110,000 – 110,000*40%=66,000) 2. 2. Net operating Cash Flow = Cash Receipt – Cash payments = 180,000 + 20000 +20000 – (45,000 + 15000 + 2000 + 6000 +44000) = 180,000
3. Listed below are five terms are followed by a list of phrases that describe or characterize five of the terms. Match each phrase with the correct number code for the term.

For each of the following situations, state whether you agree or disagree with the financial reporting practice employed, and briefly explain the reason for your answer. (1) Cantor Corporation's accountant increased the book value of a patent from its original cost of $1 million to its recently appraised value of $6 million Disagree violation of historical cost principal. Patent should be measured at its original cost. (2) Stanton Corporation paid for the personal travel of its chief financial officer and charged travel expense. Disagree. Violation of economic entity assumption. CFO’s personal activity shouldn’t be recorded on corporate books. (3) At the end of its 2021 fiscal year, Dower, Inc., received an order from a customer for $60,000. The merchandise will ship early in 2022. Because the sale was made to a longtime customer and the invoice was paid in 2021, the controller recorded the sale in 2021.
Disagree. Violation of revenue recognition principles. The seller has not delivered goods yet. So the earnings process is not complete. (4) In the middle of its 2021 fiscal year, Sanguinetti, Inc. paid $12,000 to its insurance company for one-year comprehensive insurance coverage. Sanguinetti recorded the entire expenditure as an expense in 2021. Disagree. Violation of matching.
