Expenses decreases retained earnings; therefore, to increase any expense, one would debit the expense account

What does retained earnings mean?

Retained earnings are profits retained in the business  for reinvestment and for expansion purposes, in essence, expenses would reduce the retained earnings, the higher the expenses, the lesser the retained earnings become.

From a double entry point of view, an increase in expenses would be debited to expense account and a decrease is credited instead.

kirza4 [7]

Answer:

<u>projects</u>

Explanation:

Remember, among the 'Project selection' stage is the first stage of the Project Process Stages. This stage typically involves examining each project and then determining which is of utmost importance.

Exercise 6-16 Kaleta Company reports the following for the month of June. Date Explanation Units Unit Cost Total Cost June 1 Inv
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

Cost of goods available for sale=$1,640

Explanation:

To calculate the cost of goods available for sale, we need to first calculate the available units of inventory;

Available inventory=Inventory purchased-inventory sold

where;

Inventory purchased are as follows;

On June 1>>>>>purchased 410 units each at $8

On June 12>>>>purchased 820 units each at $9

On June 23>>>>purchased 615 units each at $10

Total inventory purchased=(410+820+615)=1,845 units

Inventory sold are as follows;

On June 15>>>>sold 902 units each at $11

On June 27>>>>sold 738 units each at $12

Total inventory sold=(902+738)=1,640 units

Available inventory=(1,845-1,640)=205 units

The cost of goods sold can be expressed as;

Cost of goods available for sale=Cost per unit×number of units

where;

Number of units of inventory=205

Cost per unit=least cost per unit=$8

replacing;

Cost of goods available for sale=(8×205)=1,640

Cost of goods available for sale=$1,640
