Answer 1

Duck Corporation

Rock Concert

a) Income Statement for the year ended December 31, 2020:

Gross receipts $300,000

Less: Coliseum rental 25,000

Food 30,000

Souvenirs 60,000

Performers 100,000

Total expenses 215,000

Net income for 2019 85,000

b) The true cost is $116,240.

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Rental of coliseum $25,000 December 21, 2020

Cost of goods sold:

Food 30,000 December 30, 2020

Souvenirs 60,000 December 30, 2020

Performers 100,000 January 5, 2021

Cleaning the coliseum $10,000

b) The Cleaning expense is excluded because the services had not been rendered as at December 31. The inclusion of the Performers' compensation is necessary because the services had been enjoyed and incurred as at December 31.

c) The true cost = the Present value of the $100,000 performers' compensation plus additional tax expense of $21,000 ($100,000 * 21%) that would have been deducted.

= $116,240 ($95,240 + $21,000)
