ESSAY
1. Assume that you are teaching an accounting course. At one class session, you hear the students
using the terms gross profit and net income interchangeably. You make a note to talk to them
about the difference between these terms during the next class session. How will you explain the
difference between the two terms?
ANS:
Gross profit is the difference between net sales and cost of goods sold. Net income, however, is the
difference between gross profit and operating expenses plus other income (if any) and less other
expenses (if any).
PTS: 1 OBJ: 1
2. You are the owner of a business. Your accountant tells you that your working capital is $10,000.
Is this good or bad? Explain.
ANS:
Knowing that we have $10,000 in working capital does not give us a full measure of the firm’s
liquidity. To more accurately measure liquidity, we need to know more. We need to calculate the
current ratio.
For example, if we have $100,000 in current assets and $90,000 in current liabilities, we would
have $10,000 in working capital. However, our current ratio would only be 1.11 to 1 (100,000 ÷
90,000). This means that we may not be able to meet our short-term obligations.
But suppose that we have $20,000 in current assets and $10,000 in current liabilities. We
would still have $10,000 in working capital. However, our current ratio would be 2 to 1 (20,000 ÷
10,000). This would indicate that we are in a very good position to meet our short-term
obligations.
We have $10,000 in working capital in both examples above. However, as illustrated, we need
to know the ratio between current assets and current liabilities in order to evaluate liquidity. This
is why we use the current ratio.

ANS:
The general journal entries recovered are the closing entries for the accounting period. These
entries show the revenue, costs, and expenses as well as net income for the period. A simple
income statement can be constructed if the detail of the Cost of Goods Sold section is not needed.
Although the third closing entry makes it possible for us to calculate what the balance in Income
Summary must have been after adjusting for inventories, this entry alone does not give us a value
for beginning and ending inventory. We will need to know the beginning and ending balances in
merchandise inventory to prepare a detailed Cost of Good Sold section of the income statement.
If only the ending inventory balance is available, the beginning inventory can be derived.
PTS: 1 OBJ: 2
4. Suppose that the junior bookkeeper in your office sends you an e-mail asking if it is necessary to
reverse adjusting entries. She says that she feels it is an extra step that is just a waste of time. How
would you answer her question?
ANS:
Reversing entries are not necessary, but they can be helpful. For example, reversing the adjusting
entries for accrued expenses allows the accountant to make routine entries when the accrued
expenses are paid in the next accounting period. Even though reversing entries take a little more
time now, they will save time later because the accountant does not have to look back at the
previous period to see how much of a payment relates to that period and how much relates to the
current period.
PTS: 1 OBJ: 4
ANS:
Anyone who does accounting work for a business has a responsibility to keep its financial
information confidential. It is unethical to show private records and reports to outsiders.
