Answer:

2021

Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000

Cr Cash $3,600,000

2022

Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000

Dr Software and development costs 594, 000

Cr Cash 2,094,000

B. $148,500

Explanation:

1. Preparation of the journals entry

2021

Dr Research and development expense $3,600,000

Cr Cash $3,600,000

(To record the expenses incurred on research and development)

2022

Dr Research and development expense 1,500,000

Dr Software and development costs 594, 000

Cr Cash 2,094,000

(1,500,000+594,000)

(To record the software development costs incurred)

2.Calculatation for the amortization for 2022

Using percentage of revenues method

Amortization= Current revenue/Total revenue* Software development costs

Amortization=$1,560,000/$7, 800,000*$594,000

Amortization=0.2*$594,000

Amortization=$118,800

Using straight line method

Amortization =1/Useful life* Software devel opment costs

Amortization=1/4*$594,000

Amortization=$148,500

Based on the above calculation Tmte expense amounts under straight-line method is higher . Which means that , the amortization is $148,500.

Answer:

<em>b. $ 90,000.</em>

Explanation:

Net realizable value(Market value) for apparel=Selling price minus associated selling expenses e.g sales commission.

Market value for  Apparel= $ 120,000-(120,000*10%)

                                          =$ 120,000-12,00

Market value for  Apparel =$108,000

Apparel cost=$90,000

The lower of the above costs is $90,000.

Lower of cost or market is one of approaches of valuing and reporting inventory. Ending inventory is usually stated at historical cost. When original cost of the ending inventory is greater than the net realizable value, meaning that the inventory has lost value. The inventory has decreased in value below historical cost, then its carrying value is reduced and reported on the balance sheet. The method for reporting this is called current market value.

Her variable costs are $1,000 for the first thousand posters, Her variable costs are $800 for the second thousand Her variable costs are $750 for each additional thousand posters. To calculate Average fixed cost that is AFC per poster we need two factors: Total fixed cost = 250 and Number of poster = 1000 So now AFC will be (250/1000) that is 0.25.</span>
