Answer:
A. 136.2 days
Explanation:
To compute the average days inventory outstanding, first, we have to find out the inventory turnover ratio
Inventory turnover ratio = Cost of goods sold ÷ average inventory
where,
Average inventory = (Opening balance of inventory + ending balance of inventory) ÷ 2
= ($546,745 + $585,764) ÷ 2
= $566,254
And, the cost of good sold is $1,517,397
Now put these values to the above formula
So, the answer would be equal to
= $1,517,397 ÷ $566,254.50
= 2.67 times
Now, Days in inventory = Total number of days in a year ÷ inventory turnover ratio
= 365 days ÷ 2.67 times
= 136.70 days approx
Answer: value proposition
Explanation:
In simple terms, a value proposition makes a case for why a customer should pick one product over another, citing the unique value the product provides over its contenders.
The Business Model Canvas value proposition provides a unique combination of products and services which provide value to the customer by resulting in the solution of a problem the customer is facing or providing value to the customer. This is the point of intersection between the product you make and the reason behind the customer’s impulse to buy it. A product can have a single value proposition or multiple value propositions.
Most start-ups fail to define their value proposition before they launch their products. This is because entrepreneurs tend to give too much credence to the ‘idea’ they have and run with it as opposed to exploring how this idea would actually perform in the market.
Answer:
Closing value of inventory = $357 for 21 units
Explanation:
As for the provided information we have,
Under FIFO method we know,
FIFO means First In First Out, under this the goods bought at earliest are sold earliest.
That means first opening inventory is sold, then the inventory purchased at the earliest.
Now we have,
Opening Inventory = 27 units @ $17 = $459
Purchases:
Aug 5 22 units @ $16 = $352
Aug 12 26 units @ $17 = $442
Provided 54 units are sold on Aug 15, that means, opening inventory of 27 units, 22 units bought on Aug 5, and 54 - 27 - 22 = 5 units from purchases on Aug 12.
Therefore, after sale units left = 26 - 5 = 21 units
Thus, closing value of inventory = $357 for 21 units
Answer:
a) Taylor Industries can successfully cut back its labor cost in inventory stockrooms by counting only high-value items. These items are determined by reference to their Annual Usage values. The items' annual usage values should be used as the activity cost pool for accumulating and allocating labor cost in inventory stockrooms. Taylor Industries can establish a benchmark or cutoff point so that only the items meeting this benchmark are counted. For example, the items with annual usage value above $5,000 should be included in the items to be counted. This strategy will reduce the number of items to be counted and therefore the labor cost.
b) Since item 15 is critical to Taylor Industries' continued operations, it should be classified as a direct materials cost and not an overhead cost.
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
a random sample of 20 of Taylor's items:
ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE ITEM NUMBER ANNUAL USAGE
1 $ 1,500 11 $ 13,000
2 12,000 12 600
3 2,200 13 42,000
4 50,000 14 9,900
5 9,600 15 1,200
6 750 16 10,200
7 2,000 17 4,000
8 11,000 18 61,000
9 800 19 3,500
10 15,000 20 2,900
Average annual usage value = $12,657.50
