14. SOLUTIONS
SOUTION 1 There are generally multiple valid equations to get to the correct answers.
These are just examples. Also, note the order of performing these calculations is not simply
a→i. Up to -2 marks per error.
a) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity
a+70+80+40+b=175+200+310+(300)
a = 90
b) Net Cash from Investing = (Incr in Land) +
(Incr in PPE) (145) = (40) -b
b = 105
c) REend = REbegin + NI - Dividends (300) = 0
+ (300) - c
c = 0
d) Assets = Liabilities + Shareholder Equity
110+60+d+40+140=110+200+310+e
d=170
e) REend = REbegn + NI - Dividends e =
(300)+f-0
e=(100) liveexamhelper.com
15. f) NI = Income + Expenses f = 1300 + (1100)
f = 200
g) REend = REbegin+NI-Dividends g = e + 300-
100
g = 100
h) NI = Income + Expenses 300=1500+h
h=(1200)
i) Net Cash from Financing = Incr in Cash -
Net Cash from Operating - Net Cash from
Investing
i = 50-220-(20)
i = (150)

16. SOUTION 2 We accepted two alternative calculations for the Leverage Ratio (Debt to
Equity Ratio or The Current Ratio). Accordingly, there were multiple right answers to
some of the sections (for the effect on the Leverage Ratio part). The correct answers are
marked in Bold and Underlined.
Each Transaction was worth 4 points (including 1 point for the effect on the ratio).
You were required to record ALL the effects of each of the
transactions. Recording the ones listed below provides a complete answer. Here are some
comments about reoccurring mistakes:
1. Transaction 2B is the end of year adjustment for the prepaid rent expenses.
2. Transaction 3B is depreciation (End of year).
3. Transaction 6B is required to record interest expenses for the period from July 1st to
December 31 of 2010.

19. SOUTION 3 In the next page you can find the complete answer for this question. The
maximum score for a complete answer for each line is described on the right column.
In addition, for every additional entry (something that should not appear in this report
but you added it anyway) we reduced 1 point.
Here are some comments about reoccurring mistakes:
1. Since the Income statement includes a loss of 100$ (due to the stolen property)
which did not have an effect on cash -you were required to add an adjustment in the
Non Cash adjustments part.
2. Although it seems the PP&E did not change during the year (Beginning Balance and
Ending Balance are the same), since we know property in a value of 100$ was stolen
(reduced the PP&E by a 100$) than we must assume the company purchased additional
PP&E in the same amount.

SOUTION 4 “Shareholder's Equity" was meant to read IShareCapital", such that you
were supposedto add all three lines to get $280,000 in Shareholder Equity. However, if
you directly used Shareholder Equity of $80,000 and made the correct conclusion given
that choice, you were not penalized. Also, if you elected to use long-term debt in these
ratios instead of the more common total liabilities, you should have realized that a one-
year loan is not long-term debt. In real life, you would clarify these conditions with your
debtors. Also, note that taking a loan provides cash assets in addition to showing up as a
liability with interest. Up to 5 marks per calculation, 5 marks for conclusion. There were
4 possible correct solutions:

22. If equity is $80,000 and debt is considered to be total liabilities, WinBig should choose
alternative 2 since it is the only possibility:

23. If equity is $280,000 and debt is considered to be long-term debt, WinBig should choose
alternative 1 since both are possible, but alternative 1 has a lower interest rate:
SOUTION 5 (Bonus)
The answer is b could increase current ratio if the ratio is currently less than unity. 5 marks
with good explanation , 2 marks for what could have been a lucky guess with a
missing/incorrect/incomplete or otherwise unsatisfactory explanation.
