Answer :

Estimated inventory loss = $233,750

Explanation :

As per the data given in the question,

Inventory = $231,000

Purchases = $461,000

Cost of goods for sale (A) is

= $231,000 + $461,000

= $692,000

Sales = $611,000

Gross Profit = $611,000 × 25% = $152,750

Cost of goods Sold (B) is

= ($611,000 - $152,750)

= $458,250

So, Estimated inventory loss  is

= (A - B)

= ($692,000 - $258250)

= $233,750

We simply applied the above formula

When using the periodic system the physical inventory count is used to determine Select one: a. both the cost of the goods sold
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

a. both the cost of the goods sold and the cost of ending inventory.

Explanation:

The physical count is used in the periodic inventory system to calculate the amount of ending inventory. However the cost of goods sold can be derived from using the ending inventory count. Suppose we have ending inventory of 100 units and Purchases were 500 units  Also there were no beginning inventory units so the Cost of goods Sold can be calculated as

Cost of Goods Sold= Beginning Inventory Add Purchases Less Ending Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold=  0 + 500- 100= 400

20. Anna reports the following income and loss: Salary$ 135,000 Income from activity A60,000 Loss from activity B( 35,000) Loss
Dmitry [639]

Answer:

Based on this information, Anna has the following suspended losses:

A) Activity B    Activity C

     $11,667      $18,333

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Income and Loss:

Salary                         $ 135,000

Income from activity A  60,000

Loss from activity B    ( 35,000)

Loss from activity C   ( 55,000)

The loss from activity B and activity C are reduced by the income from activity A in proportion.

Thus, the income from activity A reduces the losses in B and C:

Income from activity A  $60,000

Activity B loss of $35,000 is reduced by $60,000 * $35,000/$90,000 = $23,333 to $11,667 ($35,000 - $23,333)

Activity C loss of $55,000 is reduced by $60,000 * $55,000/$90,000 = $36,667 to $18,333 ($55,000 - $36,667)

b) Note that the losses from activities B and C cannot be reduced by the salary income because both activities are passive sources of income and not active like salary.

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

$19,380

Explanation:

The computation of the net sales for the two months is shown below:

= Sale value of merchandise as on July 12 + Sale value of merchandise  as on June 15 +  Sale value of merchandise  as on July 20 - sales discounts from July 15 sale

= $3,500 + $10,500 + $5,800 - $10,500 × 4%

= $3,500 + $10,500 + $5,800 - $420

= $19,380

Since the payment is collected on June 23 i.e within 10 days so it is eligible for sales discounts

And from July 20 sale no sales discounts is eligible as it is exceeded than 10 days

Answer:

Total explicit cost = $39,000

Implicit cost = $40,420

Accounting profit = $108,600

Economic profit = $68,180

Explanation:

Total explicit costs will be the total amount spent.

Therefore explicit costs =

Rent + office supplies + office staff + telephone expenses

Explicit costs = 10000 + 1000 + 24000 + 4000 = $39,000

Implicit costs= 40000 + (6000 * 0.07) =$40,420

Accounting profit = Total revenue - Total explicit costs

Accounting profit = $147,600 - $39,000 = $108,000

Economic profit = Total revenue - Total opportunity cost.

(Where total opportunity cost= explicit cost + implicit cost)

Therefore economic profits =

$147,600 - ($39,000+$40,420)

= $68,180.

Therefore,

Total explicit cost = $39,000

Implicit cost = $40,420

Accounting profit = $108,600

Economic profit = $68,180
