Some potential economic consequences that Richard did not consider before making his decision are:

  • The cost of maintenance for used trucks.
  • The cost of gasoline from the town to the nearest city.
  • The location of the places that goods will be transported to and from.

<h3>What are economic considerations?</h3>

These are the factors that will affect the profitability and viability of a business.

In Richard's case, he needed to have considered various costs such as the higher cost of maintaining used trucks and the cost of gasoline that he will incur for living so far from big cities.

He also needs to consider the distance his trucks will have to travel to pick up good and deliver them.

Calculation of Cost of Goods Sold: Periodic Inventory System with Sales Returns and Allowances
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

 73,450  COGS

Explanation:

From the beginning inventory we add up purchase and freight cost and subtract the return made to the suplier and discount and allowance granted.

This will be the total cost available for sale.

Then we subtract the ending inventory to get the COGS

  27,000 beginning inventory

+ 78,000 purchases

+      350 freight-in

-   3,900 return and allowance

<u>-   6,000 </u>discount  

 95,450   good available for sale

<u>- 22,000 </u>ending inventory

 73,450  COGS

The sales return impact the sales revenue not the COGS

Charlie sells cookies only in packages of 10. It costs him $3.50 in materials per package. Additionally, he has overhead costs o
yaroslaw [1]

Let x represent the number of packages Charlie needs to sell to make a monthly income of $5, 000 
Since he sells cookies only in packages of 10 then he has to sell 10x to make that income. But Charlie has expenses that has to be deducted from his total sales to make that figure.  
So the total expenses is $1, 500 in overhead and an extra $3.50 per material per package. So the total expenses = 1500 + 3.50x 
If he has to make $5, 000 at the end of the month we have
 10x - (1500 + 3.50x) = 5000
 10x - 1500 - 3.50x = 5000
 6.50x = 5000 + 1500 = 6500
 Solving we find:
 x = 1, 000 packages

Beginning inventory, purchases, and sales for an inventory item are as follows: Sep. 1 Beginning Inventory 23 units $16 5 Sale 1
Allisa [31]

Answer:

(a) the cost of the goods sold for the September 30 sale and

  • COGS = $415

(b) the inventory on September 30.

  • Ending inventory = 9 units at $17 = $153

Explanation:

date        transaction           units         unit price          total

1              beginning inv.        23                $16               $368

5             sale                        -13                                    ($208)

17            purchase               24                 $17               $408

30           sale                       -25                                    ($415)

30           ending inv.              9                 $17               $153

When we use first in, first out (FIFO) inventory method, the price of the units sold are calculated using the oldest units in inventory.

The COGS of the units sold on Sept. 5 = 13 units x $16 = $208

The COGS of the units sold on Sept. 30 = (10 units x $16) + (15 units x $17) = $160 + $255 = $415

Ending inventory = 9 units at $17 = $153

Deep Water Mining added $411 to retained earnings last year on sales of $24,646. The administrative expenses were $4,370, deprec
ki77a [65]

Answer:

$18,290

Explanation:

The computation of the cost of goods sold is given below;

The profit after tax is

= Retained earnings + dividend

= $411 + $285

= $696

The profit before tax = $696 ÷ (1 - Tax rate)

= $696 ÷ (1 - 0.35)

= $1,071  

Now  

Sales = $24,646

Let us assume the Cost of goods sold be X

admin expenses = $4,370

Depreciation = $812

Interest = $103

Profit before tax = $1.071

Cost of goods sold (X) = $24,646  - $4,370 - $812 - $103 - $1,071

= $18,290
