- Expense Recognition Question: How do you indicate the amount of expense that should be recognized for each of the following events of a company, that occurred during the year of 2018? 1.

Incurred $27,350 of research costs for new products. Although no new items have been created, management is certain that the research will result in new products. 3.

Please Explain.arrow_forwardEthics and Sale of Operating Component It is the end of 2019, and, as an accountant for Newell Company, you are preparing its 2019 financial statements. On December 29, 2019, Newells management decided to sell one of its major divisions, subject to some legal work that is expected to be completed during the first week in April 2020 after the 2019 financial statements have been issued). During 2019, the division earned a small operating income that is just enough for the company to report record earnings for the year. However, the estimated fair value of the division at the end of 2019 is less than its net book value, so that management anticipates the component will be sold at a loss. Newells president stops by your office and says, You have been doing a fine job. Keep up the good work because you are heading for a promotion in early 2021. Once we report the record earnings for 2019, our shareholders and creditors will be happy. Then I think our earnings for 2020 will be high enough so that the loss we expect to report in 2020 on the sale of the division will not look so bad. After the president leaves your office, you continue preparing the 2019 financial statements. Required: From financial reporting and ethical perspectives, what information, if any, will you include about the upcoming sale of the division in the 2019 financial statements?arrow_forwardCOURSE: ACCOUNTABILITY - INFLATION EFFECTS A company closes its fiscal year with assets of $150,000 and liabilities of $68,000.
