Greene, Inc. uses the LIFO inventory method for external reporting and for income tax purposes but maintains its internal records using FIFO. The following disclosure note was included in a recent annual report:

Inventories ($ in millions):
2021 2020
Total inventories $600 $580
LIFO reserve (75) (50)

The company's income statement reported cost of goods sold of $2,750 million for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Required:
a. Drew adjusts the LIFO reserve (Allowance to Reduce Inventory to LIFO) at the end of its fiscal year. Prepare the December 31, 2021, adjusting entry to record the cost of goods sold adjustment.
b. If Drew had used FIFO to value its inventories, what would cost of goods sold have been for the 2021 fiscal year?

Answers

Answer:

a. Debit Cost of goods sold for $25; and Credit LIFO Reserve for $25.

b. Cost of goods sold in 2021 if FIFO is used would have been $2,775.

Explanation:

a. Greene adjusts the LIFO reserve (Allowance to Reduce Inventory to LIFO) at the end of its fiscal year. Prepare the December 31, 2021, adjusting entry to record the cost of goods sold adjustment.

Change in LIFO reserve =  Current year LIFO reserve = LIFO Reserve balance in 2021 - LIFO Reserve balance in 2020 = $75 - $50 = $25

The adjusting entry will therefore look as follows:

Date                   General Journal                Debit ($'m)       Credit ($'m)    

31 Dec 2021      Cost of goods sold               25

                             LIFO Reserve                                           25

                          (To record the cost of goods sold adjustment.)            

b. If Green had used FIFO to value its inventories, what would cost of goods sold have been for the 2021 fiscal year?

This can be calculated as follows:

Cost of goods sold in 2021 if FIFO is used = Cost of goods sold reported in the income statement + Change in LIFO reserve = $2,750 + $25 = $2,775

What matters more to Larry and Megan?
The relative price of rice and beans
The overall inflation rate

Answers

Answer:

a.  

Inflation = (2017 price of basket - 2016 price of basket) / 2016 price of basket

2016 price of basket = 1 + 4 = $5

2017  price of basket = 2 + 8 = 10

Inflation

= (10 - 5) / 5

= 100%

Both Megan and Larry would be unaffected by the changes in prices because the prices doubled for both of them.

__________________________________________________________

b. Now suppose that in 2017 the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $4.80.  

Market basket in 2017 = 2 + 4.8 = $6.80  

Inflation

= (6.8 - 5) / 5

= 36%

Larry will be better off because the price of beans increased by 100% which is more than the inflation rate of 36%.

Megan's price increase = (4.8 - 4)/4 = 20%.

Inflation is 36%.

Megan will be worse off as inflation is higher than the increase in price of rice.

__________________________________________________________

c. Now suppose that in 2017, the price of beans was $2 and the price of rice was $1.60.  

Market Basket in 2017 = 2 + 1.6 = $3.60  

Inflation = (3.6 - 5)/5 = -28%

Larry will be better off because his prices have risen while general inflation has fallen.  

Megan's price decrease = ( 1.6 - 4)/4 = -60%. Inflation was -28%.

Megan will be worse off because inflation decreased less than her prices did.

__________________________________________________________

d. What matters more to Larry and Megan?

The relative price of rice and beans

This matters more to them because a change in prices of the commodities they sell could either benefit them or give them a loss regardless of the inflation rate.

The management of Wheeler Company has decided to develop cost formulas for its major overhead activities. Wheeler uses a highly automated manufacturing process, and power costs are a significant manufacturing cost. Cost analysts have decided that power costs are mixed. The costs must be broken into their fixed and variable elements so that the cost behavior of the power usage activity can be properly described. Machine hours have been selected as the activity driver for power costs. The following data for the past eight quarters have been collected:
Quarter Machine Hours Power cost
1 20000 26000
2 25000 38000
3 30000 42500
4 22000 37000

Answers

Answer:

Explanation:

1-a See the attached photo for the a scattergraph.

1-b. Yes, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.

2. The power cost formula using the high and low points is as follows:

Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours)

3-a. The power cost formula using the method of least squares is as follows:

Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours)

3-b. R² = Coefficient of determination = 0.8969, or 89.69%

Explanation

1-a. Prepare a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.

Note: See the attached photo for the a scattergraph by plotting power costs against machine hours.

1-b. Does the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost?

Note that Scattergraph is interpreted by looking by looking for trends in the data as there is movement from left to right.

From the attached a scattergraph, it can be observed that there is an uphill pattern as there is a movement from left to right. This indicates that there a near positive relationship between power costs against machine hours.

Therefore, the scattergraph show a near relationship between machine hours and power cost.

2. Using the high and low points (i.e., the high-low method), compute a power cost formula.

2-a. Calculation of variable cost elements

Variable cost per machine hour = (Highest Power Costs - Lowest Power Costs) / (Highest machine hours – Lowest machine hours) = (42500 - 26000) / (30000 - 20000) = 1.65 per hour

2-b. Calculation of fixed cost elements

Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + Total Variable Cost ................. (1)

Where;

Total Variable Cost = Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours ……….. (2)

Substitute equation (2) into equation (1), we have:

Total power cost = Total Fixed Cost + (Variable cost per machine hour * Machine hours) ……………………. (3)

Using highest machine hours and substitute relevant values into equation (3), we have:

42500 = Total Fixed Cost + (1.65 * 3000)

42500 = Total Fixed Cost + 49,500

Total Fixed Cost = 42500 - 49,500

Total Fixed Cost = -7000

2-c Computation of a power cost formula

Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.65 and Total Fixed Cost = -7000 into equation (3), we can compute the power cost formula as follows:

Total power cost = -7000 + (1.65 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)

Equation is the power cost formula.

3. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.

Note: See the attached excel file for the calculations of Total of Machine Hours (x), Power cost (y), xy, x^2, and y^2.

Since Σ = Total of or summation of, we can therefore obtain the following from the attached excel file:

Σx = 190,800    

Σy = 282,500

Σxy = 6,878,400,000

Σx² = 4,666,540,000

Σy² = 10,188,250,000

N = Number of quarters = 8

3-a. Use the method of least squares to compute a power cost formula

Step 1: Calculation of variable cost per rental return

To calculate the variable power cost per machine hour, the following formula is used:

Variable power cost per machine hour = (NΣxy − ΣxΣy) /((NΣx²) − (Σx)²) ……………… (5)

= (Σxy – (1/8)ΣxΣy) /((Σx²) – (1/8)(Σx)²)

=(6,878,400,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800 * 282,500)) / (4,666,540,000 – ((1/8) * 190,800²))

Substituting the relevant values into equation (5), we have:

Variable cost per rental return = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) - (190,800 * 282,500)) /((8 * 4,666,540,000) - 190,800²)

Variable power cost per machine hour = 1.21

Step 2: Calculation of quarterly fixed power cost

This can be calculated using the following formula:

Fixed Cost per quarter = {Σy - (Variable power cost per machine hour * Σx) / N ....... (6)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (6), we have:

Fixed Cost per quarter = (282,500 - (1.21 * 190,800)) / 8

Fixed Cost per quarter = 6,454

Step 3: Computation of the power cost formula

Substituting Variable cost per machine hour = 1.21 and Total Fixed Cost = 6,454 into equation (3) in part 2 above, we can compute the power cost formula as follows:

Total power cost = 6454 + (1.21 * Machine hours) ………………. (4)

Equation (4) is the power cost formula.

3-b. Evaluate the coefficient of determination.

This can be evaluated using the following formula:

R² = Coefficient of determination = (NΣxy – ΣxΣy) / ((NΣx² - (Σx)²) * (NΣy² - (Σy)²))^0.5 ……….. (5)

Substituting the relevant values into equation (5) we have:

R² = ((8 * 6,878,400,000) – (190,800 * 282,500)) / (((8 * 4,666,540,000) – 190.800²) * ((8 * 10,188,250,000) – 282,500²))^0.5

R² = 0.8969, or 89.69%

The charter of Vista West Corporation specifies that it is authorized to issue 212,000 shares of common stock. Since the company was incorporated, it has sold a total of 145,000 shares (at $16 per share) to the public. It has bought back a total of 15,000. The par value of the stock is $6. When the stock was bought back from the public, the market price was $23.
Required:
1. Determine the authorized shares.
2. Determine the issued shares.
3. Determine the outstanding shares.

Answers

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

1. Determine the authorized shares.

The authorized share simply refers to the maximum number of shares that can be issued by a particular company. In this case, the authorised share is 212000.

2. Determine the issued shares.

The issued share simply means the shares sold. In this case, the answer is 145000 shares.

3. Determine the outstanding shares.

The outstanding shares will be:

= 145000 - 15000

= 130000

Actual usage of the truck was recorded as 10,000 miles for the first year. What is the amount of depreciation expesne for the first year calculated by the double

Answers

Answer:

$65,000

Explanation:

Depreciation Expense = 2 x SLDP x BVSLDP

where,

SLDP = 100 ÷ 4 = 25 %

BVSLDP = $130,000 (FIRST YEAR)

therefore,

Depreciation Expense = 2 x 25 % x $130,000 = $65,000

"We are certainly in a better position in terms of diversity management than we were five years ago," said Patricia Collins-Jones, CEO of BetterFit, Inc. "We certainly have a more diverse employee population, and we have taken steps to involve people from different backgrounds in our business operations. However, I expect us to do more. We must be an organization where diversity not only exists, but is valued. We must ____________________."

Answers

Answer: fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally.

Explanation:

The options are:

a. Encourage monitory group members to adopt the norms of the majority.

b. fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally.

c. strive to build a more homogeneous employee population.

d. focus primarily upon employees visible differences like race or sex.

e. encourage more intergroup productive conflict.

Diversity simply refers to when people from different social, ethnic backgrounds or people from different races, religions, genders, etc are involved in a company or a particular thing.

Since the CEO calls for diversity to exist and be valued, the best option will be to fully integrate minority group members both formally and informally. This will help in making the minority group valued and also bring about diversity.

Other options are wrong as they either bring about discrimination or can bring about quarrel. Therefore, the correct option is B

One reason critics think advertising is wasteful is that: a. advertising is silent about things like product quality. b. businesses use deceptive methods of advertising which is harmful for consumers. c. large sums of money are spent on advertising that produces no consumer benefit. d. most ads are distasteful and send the wrong messages to consumers.

Answers

Answer:

c. large sums of money are spent on advertising that produces no consumer benefit

Explanation:

Critics consider advertising to be a waste because they believe that there is a large amount of financial resources being spent on advertising that will not be converted into benefits for the consumer, that is, they believe that it is a lot of money spent on communication marketing that it should be spent on product development, for example, in the form of converting investments into physical benefits that add greater value to the product and greater satisfaction for the consumer.

But a company that wants to become competitive and well positioned in the market, must allocate financial resources so that both things can be carried out, because advertising is extremely necessary to attract and retain potential consumers, since there is currently a great offer of them products available on the market and the company needs to develop a strategy that attracts consumers to its product, which can occur through well-developed advertising that generates consumer engagement and identification with the offered product.

Testbank Multiple Choice Question 81 At the beginning of 2020, Sunland Company issued 8% bonds with a face value of $5700000. These bonds mature in the five years, and interest is paid semiannually on June 30 and December 31. The bonds were sold for $5259870 to yield 10%. Sunland uses a calendar-year reporting period. Using the effective-interest method of amortization, what amount of interest expense should be reported for 2020

Answers

Answer:

$527,737

Explanation:

The Bond Payment or Coupon always includes the Interest Portion and the the Capital Potion. The question only requires the Interest Portion of the Bond.

The Bond Parameters can be set as :

PV = - $5,259,870

FV = $5,700,000

PMT = ($5,700,000 x 8%) ÷ 2 = $228,000

N = 5 x 2 = 10

YTM = 10 %

P/YR = 2

Constructing an amortization schedule for 2020 gives :

Date            Capital Portion         Interest              Balance

June 30           $34,994              $262,994        $5,294,864

Dec 30             $36,743               $264,743         $5,331,607

Total                  $71,737                $527,737         $5,331,607

therefore,

The amount of interest expense to be reported for 2020 is $527,737

Deborah's Performance Pizza is a small restaurant in San Francisco that sells gluten-free pizzas. Deborah's very tiny kitchen has barely enough room for the two ovens in which her workers bake the pizzas. Deborah signed a lease obligating her to pay the rent for the two ovens for the next year. Because of this, and because Deborah's kitchen cannot fit more than two ovens, Deborah cannot change the number of ovens she uses in her production of pizzas in the short run.

However, Deborah's decision regarding how many workers to use can vary from week to week because her workers tend to be students. Each Monday, Deborah lets them know how many workers she needs for each day of the week. In the short run, these workers are__________ inputs, and the ovens are__________ inputs.

Two alternatives, code-named X and Y, are under consideration at Guyer Corporation. Costs associated with the alternatives are listed below. Alternative X Alternative Y Materials costs $ 41,000 $ 59,000 Processing costs $ 45,000 $ 45,000 Equipment rental $ 17,000 $ 17,000 Occupancy costs $ 16,000 $ 24,000 Are the materials costs and processing costs relevant in the choice between alternatives X and Y

Answers

Answer: Only Material costs are relevant

Explanation:

The material cost under alternative X is given as $41000 while under alternative Y is given as $59000.

The processing cost under alternative X is given as $45000 while under alternative Y, the processing cost is given as $45000 as well.

Then, we can deduce that only the materials costs are relevant since the processing costs are thesame.

Jim is a lawyer who requires that his clients pay him in advance of legal services rendered. Jim routinely credits Legal Service Revenue when his clients pay him in advance. In June Jim collected $12,000 in advance fees and completed 75% of the work related to these fees. What adjusting entry is required by Jim's firm at the end of June

Answers

Answer:

Legal Service Revenue Dr $3000

Unearned Revenue Cr $3000

This is due to the fact that the amount of 25% of the work is undone. Hence, it is recorded as a liability and since it is earned, it is shown as unearned revenue.

The adjusting entry required as a result of Jim collecting money in advance is:

Date                 Account Title                                   Debit              Credit

June XXXX     Legal Service Revenue               $3,000

                        Unearned Revenue                                               $3,000

Revenue should only be recognized when the work related to it has been done. Jim only managed to do 75% of the work which means that revenue cannot be recognized on 25%.

This 25% is:

= 25% x 12,000

= $3,000

This amount will be credited to the Unearned Revenue account until Jim completes the work.
