Question 1

or the normal operating cycle, whichever is longer.
Current assets are economic resources that are expected to be converted to cash or used up by
the business within one year or the normal operating cycle, whichever is shorter.
Question 2
Land or a building which is currently not used in operation is considered to be a longterm
investment.
A company purchased a tract of land on which it expects to build a production plant on in
approximately five years. During the five years before construction, the land will be idle. In
what classification should the land be reported?
Question 3
Common stock and retained earnings are both elements of stockholders’ equity.
Common stock of $50,000 plus retained earnings of $70,000 equals $120,000 in
stockholders’ equity.
Current liabilities are $10,000, long-term liabilities are $20,000, common stock is $50,000,
and retained earnings totals $70,000. How much is total stockholders' equity?
Question 4
Net income ($24,000) divided by average shares outstanding (6,000) = $4.00/share.
For 2014, Stoneland Corporation reported net income, $24,000; net sales, $400,000; and
average shares outstanding, 6,000. There were no preferred stock dividends. How much was
the 2014 earnings per share?

Question 5
The beginning balance of retained earnings is the ending balance minus net income
plus dividends. Working backwards, $X + $402,000 - $34,000 = $2,184,000. Therefore,
beginning retained earnings = $1,816,000.
At December 31, 2014, Shorts Company had retained earnings of $2,184,000. During 2014,
the company issued stock for $98,000, and paid dividends of $34,000. Net income for 2014
was $402,000. How much was the retained earnings balance at the beginning of 2014?
Question 6
The current ratio measures liquidity and higher means the company is more liquid.
The debt to assets ratio measures solvency and higher is not always better. We don’t know
how many outstanding shares each company has so we cannot compare profitability.
The following ratios are available for Leer Inc. and Stable Inc.
Current Ratio Debt to Assets Ratio Earnings per Share
Leer Inc. 2:1 75% $3.50
Stable Inc. 1.5:1 40% $2.75
