Answer: Total assets will decrease by $101 and shareholders' equity will decrease by $101

Explanation:

Inventory is initially Valued at Historical costs, Situations or conditions may change in the market which may affect the value of inventory on hand. When The cost of inventory is above the market price it is an indication that Inventory has lost its value and as a result the value of inventory must be adjusted.

The Lower of Cost or Market value method is a method of valuing inventory which stipulates that inventory should be value at the lower of cost or current market value. Determining inventory Market Value involves calculating  lower limits, Net realizable value , upper limits. The question provided us with the Market Values therefore we donot need to get into the process of calculating the Market Value.

Using Lower of Cost or Market to Value inventory

Inventory item 1

unit cost = $ 4.40 , Market value per unit = $4.60

Use cost per unit, cost per unit is lower than Market Value per unit. Inventory Value = 220 units x $4.40 = $968

Inventory item 2

unit cost = $ 6.20 , Market value per unit = $6

Use Market Value per unit, Market Value per unit is lower than  cost per unit. Inventory Value = 130 units x $6 = $780.

Decrease inventory by = (6.20 - 6) x 130 = $26

Inventory item 3

unit cost = $ 10 , Market value per unit = $9.25

Use Market Value per unit, Market Value per unit is lower than cost per unit. Inventory Value = 100 units x $9.25 $925.

Decrease inventory by = (10 - 9.25) x 100 = $75

Inventory item 4

unit cost = $ 20.50 , Market value per unit = 25

Use cost per unit, cost per unit is lower than Market Value per unit. Inventory Value = 25 units x $20.50 = $512.50

When The lower of cost or Market value rule is implemented, inventory will be written down by a total amount of $101 ($75 + $26). Total assets will decrease by $101 and shareholders' equity will decrease by $101 because  inventory write downs losses decrease profits which will effectively affects Shareholders' equity

Answer:

The correct answer is that the valuation would decrease total assets and stockholders’ equity by $101.00

Explanation:

Item             Cost                      Market price            Impact

Quantity

1 220 $ 4.40  $ 4.60        no impact as cost is lower

2 130 $ 6.20  $ 6.00 ($6.20-$6.00)* 130=$26

3 100 $ 10.00  $ 9.25 ($10-$9.25)*100    =$75

4 25 $ 20.50  $ 25.00 No impact as cost is lower

The total reduction in the value of inventory as a result of adopting the lower of cost or market price valuation is $101 ($75+$26),hence decreases total assets by $101 and the stockholders' equity(retained earnings which is a component of stockholders' equity ) by the same amount

erastova [34]

Answer:

B. shifts rightward, and the point at which the PPF touches the good-X axis has to be something more than 40 units of good X and the point at which the PPF touches the good-Y axis has to be something more than 60 units

Explanation:

PPF is the graphical representation of two goods combinations which an economy can produce given resources & technology.

It is downward sloping because of two goods inverse relation given same resources & technology.

The points at which PPF touches both axis represents maximum amount of that axis good which can be produced by given resources & technology , Points on PPF reflect full efficient utilisation of resources. Points inside PPF reflect underutilisation of resources. Points outside PPF reflect unattainable combinations outside economy's productive capacity, given resources & technology unless either of them grow.

Resource increase usable for production of both goods: shifts the PPF outwards/ rightwards & the maximum potential production of both goods increases. PPF touching axis points increases from pervious at each axis - more than 40 at good X axis, more than 60 at Y axis.

34kurt

Answer:

If the company upgrades the units, income will increase by $20,000 (compared to sell as-is).

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Units= 400

If these computers are upgraded at a total cost of $100,000, they can be sold for a total of $160,000.

As an alternative, the computers can be sold in their present condition for $40,000.

We won't take into consideration costs before the upgrade, because they will remain in both options.

<u>Sell as-is:</u>

Effect on income= $40,000 increase

<u>Continue processing:</u>

Effect on income= 160,000 - 100,000= $60,000 increase

If the company upgrades the units, income will increase by $20,000 (compared to sell as-is).

Taking a cash advance on your credit card for daily living expenses may not be a wise financial decision because interest begins
Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The statement is true

Explanation:

Credit card is the card which provide the benefit to the people to purchase the items without cash. In short, it is that card which the person could use when the person is short of cash or does not have cash while purchasing the item.

The benefit which is provided, it is against the interest which is being charged from the day the amount is spent till the date the whole amount (which is principle amount plus the interest amount) is paid to the company.

So, taking the cash in advance from the credit card would not be a wise decision as the interest begin from the day the advance is taken.
