View answer resolution

【Answer to question 1】B

【analysis】

B is correct. Only the cash flows for the purchase of the shares in an affiliated company is cash from investing activities, thus the net amount is –$275,000. Cash flows from trading securities is an operating activity, and cash flow from issuing bonds is a financing activity.

A is incorrect. It also includes the proceeds from the issuance of the bond, but that is a financing activity: –275,000 – 240,000 + 300,000 + 500,000 = 285,000.

C is incorrect. It includes the proceeds and purchase of the trading securities, but they are operating activities: –275,000 – 240,000 + 300,000 = –215,000

【Answer to question 2】C

【analysis】

C is correct. The converged standards aim to take a principles-based approach that avoids the provision of specific rules and requirements characteristic of current US GAAP revenue recognition standards.

A is incorrect. Neither current US GAAP nor the new standard suggests aligning revenue recognition with receipt of payments, except where collectability is uncertain.

B is incorrect. Current US GAAP includes extensive guidance on specific industries and transactions. The new standard moves away from this approach.
