From the warehouse to the customer
From the asset (inventory) account to the revenues (sales) account
From the revenues (sales) account and to the expense (cost of goods sold) account

Better matching of revenue and expense is achieve than under FIFO
Net income will be greater than if FIFO is used
Cost of goods sold will be the same as if FIFO was used
Cost of goods sold will be greater than if FIFO was used
The balance sheet evaluation of inventory is:

A higher selling price can be established
Balance sheet inventory values will be higher
Net income will be higher
Income tax will be lower

Allocation of the cost of an asset to the period in which services are received from the asset
Regular reductions of asset value to correspond to changes in the market value as the asset ages
Which of the following statements concerning repair and maintenance expenditures is true?
Maintenance expenditures that extend the useful life and/or increase the salvage value of an asset should be capitalized and depreciated over the asset’s remaining useful life.
Routine repair costs and preventive maintenance expenditures are capitalized as assets in the period in which they are incurred.
All repair and maintenance expenditures are accounted for as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.
For income tax purposes, most taxpayers would prefer to capitalize an expenditure and depreciate the asset over time rather than expensing the expenditure and deducting the entire amount in the year it is incurred.
Many companies use accelerated depreciation for tax purposes because:
It results in lower taxable income than straight-line depreciation.
It reflects the amount of cash used in depreciation.
It is easier to calculate than straight-line depreciation.
It is used for determining net income reported to stockholders.
When a firm buys land on which there is a building, and the building is torn down so that an appropriate new building can be constructed on the land:
The total cost of the land and old building are capitalized as land cost.
Any of the purchase cost allocated to the old building is reported as a loss.
The cost assigned to the land excludes the cost of the old building.
Any of the purchase cost allocated to the old building is capitalized as part of the cost of the new building.
The intangible asset goodwill:
May arise when one company purchases another company.
Represents the management team's assessment of its value to the company.
Arises because the market value of a company's assets is greater than cost.
All of the above are correct.
Expenditures capitalized as long lived assets generally include those expenditures that:
Are material in amount and that have an economic benefit to the entity that extends beyond the current year.
Are made for normal repairs to maintain the usefulness of the asset over a number of years.

An accurate measurement of the economic usefulness of an asset.

Which of the following statements concerning the accounting for leases is not true?
The economic impact of a financing lease isn't really any different from buying the asset outright and signing a note payable that will be paid off, with interest, over the life of the asset.
At the inception of a financing lease, the lessee's total assets and total stockholders' equity are both increased for the present value of the lease payments to be made over the life of the lease.
A financing lease results in the lessee assuming virtually all the benefits and risks of ownership of the leased asset.
Assets rented under a short-term operating lease are not reflected on the lessee's balance sheet, and the rent expense (or lease expense) involved is reported in the income statement as an operating expense.
If an organization has an obligation to pay $25,000 to a supplier two years from now, the present value of the obligation:
Is $25,000.

The principal challenge to calculating depletion is estimating:
The cost of the asset
The salvage value of the exploration equipment
The demand for the product
The quantity of material to be recovered
Accounting for natural resources
Involves using the accumulated depreciation account
Involves estimating the quantity of natural resources to be recover
Involves an exception to the matching concept
Involves sum-of-the year's digit depletion calculations
When an accelerated depreciation method is used to calculate depreciation expense:
Depreciation expense will be less in the early years of the asset's life than if straight-line depreciation is used.
The net book value of the asset halfway through its useful life will be less than if straight-line depreciation is used.
The accumulated depreciation account balance will increase by a larger amount in the last half of an asset's life than if straight-line depreciation is used.
The net book value of the asset at the end of its useful life will be less than if straight-line depreciation is used.
The present value concept is widely applied in business because
Money has value over time
Inflation erodes the purchasing of power of money
Most obligations are settled within a year
Accounting for operating leases require its use
When a depreciable asset is sold:
A loss arises if the sale's proceeds exceed the net book value
Depreciation expenses is adjusted so there is no gain or loss
Any cash received results in a gain
A gain arises if the sale's proceeds exceed the net book value
