Step-by-Step Analysis
We are given a list of items from Amazing Read’s year-end transactions and asked to classify each item as a financial statement item (Current Asset, Non Current Asset, Current Liability, Non Current Liability, Owners Equity) and indicate the report (Balance Sheet or Income Statement) on which the item would appear. For clarity, I will go item by item, noting the type of account and where it typically appears, and then comment on the provided classifications/reports when appropriate. Throughout, I’ll also call out common misclassifications and why they’re incorrect.
1) Accumulated depreciation – 6600
- Typical classification: This is a contra-asset account that reduces a non-current asset (such as property, plant, and equipment) on the balance sheet. It is not a standalone asset.
- Correct report: Balance Sheet (as a deduction from the related long-term asset, not on the income statement).
- Why the given option (Non Current Asset / Balance Sheet) is partly correct in report, but misleading in classification: It should be under Non Current Asset as a contra-asset? Conventionally it's shown as a separate contra-asset line under Property, Plant and Equipment on the Balance Sheet. So the item is conceptually linked to Non Current Asset, but the exact presentation is as a contra-asset reducing the asset, not an asset itself.
2) 5 year bank loan – 124000
- Classification: This is a liability (a loan payable) and, since it is due over more than one year, it is a Non Current Liability.
- Report: Balance Sheet.
- The provided option (Non Current Liability / Balance Sheet) aligns with standard practice.
3) Amounts owing to employees – 5600
- Classification: This is typically a liability arising from unpaid wages/salaries; if they are due within the next year, it’s a Current Liability. If it’s long-term, it would be Non Current. Based on usual payroll timing, it is a Current Liability.
- Report: Balance Sheet.
- The given entry (Current Liability / Balance Sheet) matches standard treatment.
4) Amounts owing to family – 46000
- Classification: This would be a liability if the firm owes money to related parties; typically treated as a current liability if pay......Login to view full explanationLog in for full answers
