SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS – DISCUSSION

 

1. What are the differences between net farm income computed on a cash basis versus an accrual basis?

 

A cash basis income statement would include only cash revenue received and cash expenses paid during the accounting period even though the revenue may have been earned or the expense incurred in another accounting period.  An accrual basis income statement would also include changes in inventory, accounts receivable, accounts payable, prepaid expenses, and accrued expenses.

 

2. Which is the preferred measure of net farm income? Explain why.

 

While the total net farm income over the entire life of the business would be the same with either system, the accrual income statement is a much better measure for any given year.

As an extreme example, assume, all crops produced in a year are stored for sale in the following year.  There would be no cash income from crop sales but there would be expenses incurred from producing this crop.  Net farm income would be negative (very negative!) and not a good indicator of how profitable the farm actually was that year.

 

3. Briefly explain why the following cash inflows — New loans received, Capital asset sales, and Nonfarm income — are not included on the net income statement?

In all three cases, these are revenue, but not income originating from the production and sale of a good or service, so they should not appear on a net income statement.

2. Given the following chart of accounts, what 2-digit codes and $ amount would you assign to each of the cash transactions listed below? Some may have two entries.

Transaction code (1st digit):  1 – operating income

2 – capital asset sales (investment)                                                                                         3 – new loans received (financing)

4 – operating expense

5- capital asset purchases (investment)

6 – loan principal repaid (financing)

 

Enterprise code (2nd digit):    1 – tomatoes

2 – sweet corn

3 –  pumpkins

Code               $ amount

1. $450 received from sale of tomatoes at the farmers market ________ _________
2. $500 paid for weeding tomatoes (20 hours) and pumpkins (30 hours)________ _________

________        _________

1. $1,000 for construction of a roadside stand to sell sweet corn ________ _________
2. $800 borrowed for purchase of materials for the roadside stand ________ _________

 

Code               $ amount

1. 11 $450
2. 41 $200

                                                                                                            43                    $300

1. 52 $1,000
2. d. 32 $800

 

3. Consider the amount and timing of the following transactions made by I.M. Farmer:

 

December, 2021:  Purchased, paid for and applied fertilizer for the 2022 grain crop. $5,000.

 

April, 2022:  Purchased and paid for seed, chemicals, fuel, etc.  $60,000.

 

November, 2022:  Part of grain sold for $100,000.  The rest placed in storage to sell in 2023,           valued currently at $90,000.

 

December 31, 2022:  Accrued interest, $500.

 

January 15, 2023:  Paid accrued interest, $500.

 

May, 2023:  Remaining 2022 grain sold. $105,000.

 

1. A) What is the 2022 profit under cash accounting? (Show work)

 

 

$100,000 – $60,000 = $40,000  (consider only cash received and cash spent during 2022)

 

 

1. B) What is the 2022 profit under accrual accounting? (Show work.)  4 points

 

($100,000 + $90,000) – ($60,000 + $5,000 + $500) = $124,500

 

Consider all items that increase or decrease net worth over the accounting period.  The May, 2023 sale of grain in excess of its inventory value does not affect 2022 income.  It counts as a change in inventory value that affects 2023 income.

 

 

 

	Original Cost	Salvage Value	Useful Life
Tractor	$75,000	0	5 years
Tillage implement	$84,000	$21,000	7 years

 

 

 

4. Use the information above to fill in the annual depreciation for these machines in the table below, using both straight line (columns 1 and 2) and double declining balance (columns 3 and 4). Round depreciation values to the nearest dollar. For the tractor on DDB, be sure to switch to straight line (on the remaining value for the remaining life) as soon as you get more depreciation by making the switch.  For the tillage implement on DDB, be careful not to depreciate below the salvage value.

 

Year	Straight Line		Double Declining Balance
	Tractor	Tillage Implement	Tractor	Tillage Implement
1	15,000	9,000	30,000	24,000
2	15,000	9,000	18,000	17,143
3	15,000	9,000	10,800	12,245
4	15,000	9,000	8,100	8,746
5	15,000	9,000	8,100	866
6		9,000
7		9,000

 

 

5. Use the information below to answer the questions about Farmer Brown.

 

(*Note:  The “interest paid” has already been included in the expenses in the left-hand column but is listed separately so that you can use it in some calculations, as needed.)

 

_______________________________Show All Work!__________________________

 

1)  Compute Net Farm Income from Operations :   $46,000

 

NFIO = total revenue (250,000 +95,000) – total expenses (175,000 + 90,000 +35,000) +/- inventory change + 1.000

 

2)  Calculate Net Farm Income: $47,500

NFI = NFIO +/- Gain/loss capital assets

 

3)  Calculate Adjusted Net Farm Income from Operations:  $74,000

ANFIO = 46.000 + 28,000

 

4)  Calculate Rate of Return on Assets:  ($74,000 – 32,000)/600,000 = 7.0%

 

 

5) Calculate Rate of Return on Equity: ($46,000 – 32,000)/250,000 = 5.6%

Note: This farm is covering the opportunity cost of equity capital (5.6% > 4%)

 

6) Calculate Return to Labor and Management:

46,000 – (250,00X.05) = 46,000 – 12,500 = 33,500

 

Note:  This farm is covering the OCLM

7) Is borrowed capital earning an average loss or an average profit?   Average loss (RoE < RoA)

 

8)  If Farmer Brown paid $5,000 in income taxes and spent $25,000 on living expenses, how much did net worth change over this accounting period?

 

$47,500- $30,000 = $17,500     This is NFI – (living expenses + taxes)
