Journal Entry for Goods Sold on Credit [Video]

When a company sells inventory on credit, the company must debit the accounts receivable account and credit the sales revenue account. If the company uses a perpetual inventory system, then the company must also debit cost of goods sold and credit the inventory account at the time of the sale (if the company uses a periodic inventory system, cost of goods sold is not debited and the inventory account is not adjusted until the end of the period).When the company later collects cash from the customer, the company must debit the cash account and credit the accounts receivable account.— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

Tax Deduction for Sex Worker? [Video]

Can you get a tax deduction for paying a prostitute?In 2004 and 2005, a tax lawyer named deducted more than $100,000 he had paid to prostitutes for services rendered. He categorized this as a medical expense per § 213 of the tax code. He described it as “sex therapy”Now, § 213(a) does allow a deduction for medical/dental expenses. But the Treasury Regulations say you can’t get a deduction for illegal medical treatments. Since prostitution was illegal in the taxpayer’s state of New York, the Tax Court disallowed the deductionThe taxpayer also tried to deduct several thousand dollars for pornographic materials, but the Tax Court said that didn’t count as a medical expense either. The materials weren’t prescribed by a doctor, and were thus a personal expense. And the tax code doesn’t give many deductions for personal expensesSo, if you want to deduct the cost of sex therapy:• It needs to be legal in your state• It needs to be prescribed by a doctor— Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, an award-winning professor who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.

IFRS 16 Lessee Accounting Example 3 [Video]

This video shows how the lessee should account for a lease under IFRS 16 when (1) there is an unguaranteed residual value and (2) the lessor's implicit interest rate is unknown to the lessee. Because the residual value is not guaranteed, the lessee will not be required to compensate the lessor if the residual value fails to meet a certain threshold. Because the lessor's implicit interest rate is unknown to the lessee, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate will be used to discount cash flows when measuring the lease liability. — Edspira is the creation of Michael McLaughlin, who went from teenage homelessness to a PhD.
