Answer:
1.C
C is corrent because an accountant will perform mathematical computation in an agreed-upon procedures engagement.
A is incorrect because an accountant may (1) compare procedures to written requirements, (2) discuss procedures to be applied with specified users, and/or (3) review relevant contracts or communication from specified users to report on management’s assertions. In reporting to users, only specific information will be presented.
B is incorrect because an agreed-upon procedures engagement is to present specific findings to assist users in evaluating management’s assertions about an entity’s compliance with specified requirements, not to evaluate the competence or objectivity.
D is incorrect because a CPA should not interpret any documents, rather, only use specific findings.
2.D
Choice “d” is correct. Under oligopoly, strategic plans focus on maintaining market share and call for the proper amount of advertising (to ensure product differentiation) and ways to properly adapt to price changes or required changes in production volume.
3.B
Choice "B" is correct. A noncompensated surety will be discharged from liability if the principal debtor and the creditor modify the terms of the contract in any way. A partial surrender of the debtor's collateral is a modification that will release a noncompensated surety from liability.Choice "d" is incorrect. One of the reasons creditors seek sureties is to have someone who can pay the debt if the principal debtor goes bankrupt. Bankruptcy of the principal debtor will not discharge the surety. Choice "a" is incorrect. The creditor becoming incompetent after the debt arose has no bearing on the liability of either the debtor or the surety.Choice "c" is not as good an answer as "B". The principal's duress will discharge the surety's obligation only if the creditor knew about the duress when the creditor accepted the surety.
4.A
A is corrent. ASC Topic 825 provides that the fair value option does not apply to leases.
B is incorrect because the fair value election applies for warranties that can be settled by paying a third party.
C is incorrect because the fair value election applies for firm commitments that involve financial instruments.
D is incorrect because the fair value election applies for held-to-maturity investments.
