Wall Street Prep1 ALL ANSWERS 100% CORRECT
SPRING FALL-2022 SOLUTION GUARANTEED
GRADE A+
Question 1
Assume US GAAP to answer this question.

In 2017, $2 million in wages were earned and no cash wages were paid.
In 2018, $8 million in wages were earned and $7 million in cash wages were paid.
Cash wages were used to first pay wages earned in 2017 with the remainder used to pay wages earned
in 2018.
Any earned but unpaid wages will be paid during the first quarter of 2019. Using only the information
provided, which of the following statements is most accurate?
Liabilities increased by $1.0 million in 2018 Liabilities
increased by $3.0 million in 2018 Assets decreased by $5.0
million in 2018
Retained earnings decreased by $10.0 million in 2018 Retained earnings
decreased by $7.0 million in 2018 Your answer is correct.

Since wages were earned in 2017 but not yet paid, the opening balance sheet in 2018 would have an
accrued wages liability of $2.0. These were paid in 2018, reversing the liability. However, since there
is only $5.0 million in cash ($7.0 less the $2.0 million used to pay 2017 wages) available to pay wages
earned in 2018, that leaves $3.0 million in earned wages unpaid, raising the accrued wages liability to
$3.0 million. The net impact to the liability is $1.0 million (-$2.0 + $3 million). The only asset
impacted is cash, which decreases by $7.0 million, while retained earnings decreases by $8.0 million,
since wages are expensed when they are earned, not when they are paid.

See Lesson: Payable, Accrued Expenses, Deferred Revenue & Debt Question 2
A company issued its CEO 100,000 shares of restricted stock in the beginning of 2018 that are restricted
for two years. The current share price is $10.

Based on the information provided, which of the following statements is true? An unearned
compensation liability in the amount of $1 million is created at the grant date
An unearned compensation asset in the amount of $1 million is created at the grant date

Stockholders' equity increases by $1 million at the grant date
An unearned compensation contra equity account in the amount of $500,000 is recognized at the
grant date
Stockholders' equity is unchanged at the grant date Your answer is correct.

The entire value of restricted stock issued at grant date is recognized as an equity account and is
immediately offset by a contra equity account in the same amount so there is no change to
stockholders’ equity at the grant date. This contra equity account is reversed over the service period.
In this case, a
$1 million contra equity account is created and reduced by $500,000 over the next two years, with an
offsetting reduction in retained earnings.

See Lesson: Stock Based Compensation Accounting: Journal Entries Question 3
A company issued its CEO 100,000 stock options in the beginning of 2018 that will vest equally over 2
years. Assume the following:

The share price at grant date is $10 per share The option exercise

, price is $10 per share
The fair value of each option at grant date is $5 per share No options are
exercised until after year 2
Based only on the information provided, which of the following statements is true?
Stockholders' equity increases by $1,000,000 at the grant date Stockholders' equity increases by
$500,000 at the grant date Stockholders' equity increases by $250,000 at the grant date
Stockholders' equity decreases by $250,000 at the end of year 1 Stockholders' equity does not
change at the end of year 1
Your answer is correct.

No journal entries occur at the grant date. Stock options are expensed as they vest with a
corresponding entry in "APIC – Stock options" account. Since both accounts are part of stockholders’
equity, there is no change to stockholders’ equity. No asset or liabilities are recognized on the grant
date.

See Lesson: Stock Based Compensation Accounting: Journal Entries Question 4
A company recorded the following activities in 2018:

$5 million in capital expenditures were made in 2018
$4 million in depreciation expense was recognized in 2018
$3 million in affiliate income recognized on the income statement from a 25% investment in an affiliate
$1 million of insurance proceeds were received in cash due to hurricane damage on the company’s
corporate headquarters
Based only on the information provided, calculate the impact of the activities described above on the
company’s 2018 operating income and cash flows (ignore taxes).
Operating income decreased by $1.0 million. Cash flows decreased by $4.0 million.
Operating income decreased by $5.0 million. Cash flows increased by $6.0 million.
Operating income decreased by $4.0 million. Cash flows decreased by $4.0 million.
Operating income decreased by $6.0 million. Cash flows decreased by $1.0

million.
Operating income decreased by $6.0 million. Cash flows decreased by $3.0 million.
Your answer is correct.

Only the $4.0 million in depreciation expense impacts operating income. Capital expenditures are not
recognized on the income statement. Affiliate income and insurance proceeds are recognized below
operating income. Capex reduces cash flows, offset by the $1 million insurance proceeds.
Depreciation is non-cash and the investment income is an accrual – its cash impact is not provided.

Cash Flow Statement).

Your answer is correct.
