2. 如果当estimate useful life 变长和salvage value变大的情况下,relative life变小
Solution:这个表述修改为relative life变小。我们有一个公式是这样的
estimate useful life变长和salvage value变大的情况,根据ST的公式,depreciation会变小。accumulated 自然会变小。根据公式使得relative life变小。
3. Assume U.S. GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) applies unless otherwise noted. The Regional Bank of Australia receives interest income on the loans it has outstanding. Durango Manufacturing Inc. also receives interest income on some surplus funds they currently have invested in corporate bonds. For each company, respectively, the interest income they receive would be classified as which type of business activity for financial reporting purposes?
| The Regional Bank of Australia | Durango Manufacturing Inc. |
A. | Operating activity | Operating activity |
B. | Operating activity | Investing activity |
C. | Investing activity | Operating activity |
Correct answer = B 很多考生质疑,为什么制造公司的利息收入答案选择的是投资活动现金流量。那么这道题目的考点不是在考现金流的归类,我们看下题目中的问题:the interest income they receive would be classified as which type of business activity for financial reporting purposes。这个问题问的是在income statement中,这个行为是应该记为operating item还是nonoperating item?
在原版书第三册中说道:对于nonfinancing company,所有的interest和dividend都是被看做nonoperating item;但是financing firm,都是视为operating item。这道题目的考点不是cash flow statement中的那些经营性,投资性行为,而是for financial reporting purposes,在I/S报表中是operating item还是nonoperating item。
