otez555 [7]

Answer:

Instructions are listed below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Jessica’s Office Supply, Inc., had 300 calculators on hand on January 1, 2017, costing $16 each.

Purchases and sales of calculators during January were as follows:

January 12: 200 units for $25

J 14: 150 for $17

J 29: 100 for $18

J 30: 150 for $30

According to a physical count, 200 calculators were on hand on January 31, 2017.

FIFO:

Inventory= 150*30 + 50*18= $5,400

COGS= 300*16 + 200*25 + 150*17 + 50*18= $13,250

LIFO:

Inventory= 200*16= $3,200

COGS= 150*30 + 100*18 + 150*17 + 200*25 + 100*16= 15,450

Average cost method:

Average cost= (16 + 25 + 17 + 18 + 30)/5= 21.2

Inventory= 21.2*200= $4,240

COGS= 21.2* 700= $14,840

. Doug purchased a new factory building on January 15, 1990, for $400,000. On March 1, 2017, the building was sold. Determine th
erma4kov [3.2K]

Answer:

e. None of the above

Explanation:

Purchase Value of Machinery = $4,000,000

Life of building = 30 years

Depreciation per year (assuming no 5% residual value)

= (4,000,000 - 200,000)/30

= $ 126,667

Dep. till December 31, 2016 = 126667*21 years

                                               = $2,660,000

Dep. till March 1, 2017 from December 31, 2016

= (122667*2)/12

= $21,111  

Total Dep. till March 1, 2017 =  $2,660,000 + $21,111

                                              = $ 2,681,111

Cost of recovery deduction = $4,000,000 - $2,681,111

                                              = $ 1,318,889

Therefore, The cost recovery deduction for the year of the sale is $ 1,318,889

Suppose that when the price of peanut butter falls from $2 to $1 per jar, the quantity of jelly purchased rises from 14 million
yan [13]

Answer:

-0.20

Explanation:

Cross price elasticity of demand measures the responsiveness of quantity demanded of good A to changes in price of good B.

If cross price elasticity of demand is positive, it means that the goods are substitute goods.

Substitute goods are goods that can be used in place of another good.

If the cross-price elasticity is negative, it means that the goods are complementary goods.

Complementary goods are goods that are consumed together

Cross Price elasticity of demand = midpoint change in quantity demanded / midpoint change in price  

Midpoint change in quantity demanded = change in quantity demanded / average of both demands

change in quantity demanded = 16 million - 14 million = 2 million

Average = (16 million + 14 million) / 2 = 15 million

2 / 15 = 0.133

midpoint change in price = change in price / average of both price

change in price = 1 - 2 = - 1

average of price =(2 + 1) / 2 = 1.5

-1/1.5 = -0.67

0.1333 / -0.67
