At the end of the current year, how should Golden report the $75,000 in the net assets section of the statement of financial position?
A. Permanently restricted.
B. Unrestricted.
C. Temporarily restricted.
D. Donor restricted.
Answer:
1.C
This answer is correct because all such audits require auditors to document an understanding of internal control established to ensure compliance with the applicable laws and regulations.
2.C
C is correct. The use of indirect materials would be recorded by a credit to stores control (i.e., inventory of direct and indirect materials) and a debit to manufacturing overhead (MOH) control. Debiting MOH control increases the balance of this account.
A is incorrect. Stores control would be credited, thereby decreasing this account.
B is incorrect. No entry is made to work in process control for the use of indirect materials. However, if the question had asked about the use of direct materials, this answer would have been correct.
D is incorrect. The MOH applied account is used to apply MOH to production based on a predetermined rate. Therefore, MOH applied is not used to record the actual use of indirect materials.
3.A
A is correct because classification of a principal as disclosed, undisclosed, or partially disclosed affects the contractual liability of the agent toward third parties. The authority given the agent, however, is not affected. An agent representing an undisclosed principal has the same implied authority as an agent representing a disclosed principal.
4.B
This answer is correct because the donation was unrestricted. The board elected to create the endowment.
