问题如下:
White Flag, a women’s clothing manufacturer, reported salaries expense of $20 million. The beginning balance of salaries payable was $3 million, and the ending balance of salaries payable was $1 million. How much cash did the company pay in salaries?
选项:
A.$18 million.
B.$21 million.
C.$22 million.
解释:
C is correct.
Beginning salaries payable of $3 million plus salaries expense of $20 million minus ending salaries payable of $1 million equals $22 million. Alternatively, the expense of $20 million plus the $2 million decrease in salaries payable equals $22 million.
解析:所有资产负债表科目都可以用BASE法则。salaries payable期初是3,期末是1,当期新增的salaries expense是20。根据BASE法则,3+20-salaries paid=1,可以算出salaries paid=22。
答案的3+20-salaries paid=1,我明白。但是我自己的“应付工资期末3=应付工资期初1-发了的+新增应付20,所以发了的=-18.”好像也没错啊,,,绕不出来了。
