The Correct Answer and Explanation is :
Here are the correct answers and explanations for each question:
51) Cash collected from customers can be computed by the formula:
Answer: C) beginning accounts receivable minus ending accounts receivable plus sales
Explanation:
The formula adjusts sales for changes in accounts receivable. If accounts receivable increases, less cash was collected than the sales reported. If accounts receivable decreases, more cash was collected than sales.
52) Payments to suppliers for inventory during the period were:
Answer: C) $412,200
Calculation:
Cost of Goods Sold = $358,000
Increase in Inventory = $45,000
Increase in Accounts Payable = $9,200
Payments = Cost of Goods Sold + Inventory Increase – Accounts Payable Increase
Payments = $358,000 + $45,000 – $9,200 = $412,200
53) Receipts from customers total:
Answer: A) $60,800
Calculation:
Sales = $65,000
Increase in Accounts Receivable = $4,200
Receipts = Sales – Increase in Accounts Receivable
Receipts = $65,000 – $4,200 = $60,800
54) Payments to suppliers for inventory during 2010 were:
Answer: B) $523,000
Calculation:
Cost of Goods Sold = $480,000
Inventory Increase = $25,000
Accounts Payable Decrease = $18,000
Payments = Cost of Goods Sold + Inventory Increase + Accounts Payable Decrease
Payments = $480,000 + $25,000 + $18,000 = $523,000
55) Payments to suppliers for inventory during the year were:
Answer: A) $621,340
Calculation:
Cost of Goods Sold = $597,600
Inventory Decrease = $37,500
Accounts Payable Decrease = $13,760
Payments = Cost of Goods Sold – Inventory Decrease + Accounts Payable Decrease
Payments = $597,600 – $37,500 + $13,760 = $621,340
56) Cash payments to employees:
Answer: A) $289,150
Calculation:
Salary Expense = $264,780
Salary Payable Decrease = $24,370
Payments = Salary Expense + Salary Payable Decrease
Payments = $264,780 + $24,370 = $289,150
57) Salary Expense for the year ended December 31, 2011:
Answer: B) $281,500
Calculation:
Cash Paid = $280,000
Increase in Salaries Payable = $16,000 – $14,500 = $1,500
Salary Expense = Cash Paid + Increase in Salaries Payable
Salary Expense = $280,000 + $1,500 = $281,500
58) Payments for insurance during 2010:
Answer: C) $42,100
Calculation:
Insurance Expense = $37,490
Prepaid Insurance Decrease = $4,610
Payments = Insurance Expense + Prepaid Insurance Decrease
Payments = $37,490 + $4,610 = $42,100
59) Payments for insurance during the year:
Answer: C) $50,930
Calculation:
Insurance Expense = $49,310
Prepaid Insurance Increase = $8,320 – $6,700 = $1,620
Payments = Insurance Expense + Prepaid Insurance Increase
Payments = $49,310 + $1,620 = $50,930
