Explanation / Answer

Q4a)

Answer: Debit, bonds payable; credit, cash

Bonds payable is debited, since the liability obligation is met. Cash is credited, since there is outgoing of cash.

Q5a)

i)LTL; because bonds are matured to be repaid in more than 1 year

ii) CL; because accounts payable (like credit purchase) is a short-term loan

iii) LTL; because mortgage loans are taken for long period of time

iv) CL; because accounts payable (like credit purchase) is a short-term loan

v) CL; this is the amount of tax paid equally by employer and employee out of payroll and must be paid within the stipulated date that is in short-run.

Q6a)

Required ratio = Total liabilities / Stockholders’ equity

Both liability and equity are reflected in a firm’s balance sheet. It indicates financial leverage of the firm.

Q6b)

Required ratio = Total liabilities / Stockholders’ equity

                        = (Current liabilities + Long-term liabilities) / Stockholders’ equity

                        = (10,000 + 20,000) / 40,000

                        = 30,000 / 40,000

                        = 0.75 (Answer)
