问题如下:
On 30 April 2006, Pinto Products received a cash payment of $30,000 as a deposit on production of a custom machine to be delivered in August 2006. This transaction would most likely result in which of the following on 30 April 2006?
选项:
A. No effect on liabilities.
B. A decrease in assets of $30,000.
C. An increase in liabilities of $30,000.
解释:
C is correct.
The receipt of cash in advance of delivering goods or services results in unearned revenue, which is a liability. The company has an obligation to deliver $30,000 in goods in the future. This balances the increase in cash (an asset) of $30,000.
解析:P公司先收到了产品定金,产品还没交货,属于负债,因此现金和负债均增加30000。
前面有道题也是关于deposit的,解析里说押金以后会退,也就是未来会有经济利益流入,因此也是asset。这二道题是否相悖?
