Answer:

The answer is: $70,000

Explanation:

70% of the total damages equals $70,000 (70% x $100,000)

Comparative negligence refers to a legal defense used by the defendant to reduce the amount of damages that a plaintiff can recover. This is based on what percentage of the plaintiff's damages could be attributed to the plaintiff's own negligence.

Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

The value of cost of goods sold is $2,730 as shown below

Explanation:

The sale of 120 units made on January 17 is valued at $1,080  (120*$9) taking from stock purchased last on January 1

The sale of 160 units on January 29 is valued at $1,650    (150 units*$11) taking the items purchased last on January 20

The cost of goods sold =$1,080+$1,650

Cost of goods sold=$2,730

The value of closing inventory=30*$9+10*$11

                                                   =$270+$110

                                                   =$380

Hence value of costs of good sold is $2,730 while closing inventory is valued at $380

Dovator [93]

Answer:

B) A loss of $6,000 in the income statement.

Explanation:

The appropriate journal entry should be:

December 31 (recognition of loss on purchase commitments)

  • Dr Loss on Purchase Commitments account 6,000
  • Cr Accrued Loss on Purchase Commitments account 6,000

Since the price of raw materials lowered by $6,000, the company lost money on its purchase commitments:

Purchase commitments loss = contracted price - market value = $32,000 - $26,000 = $6,000

The loss on purchase commitments is an expense, and accrued loss on purchase commitments is a liability.
