Fifo reports higher gross profit and net income than the lifo method when

1 answer:

4 0

FIFO (First in, First Out) reports higher gross profit and net income than the LIFO (Last In, First Out) method when prices are increasing. The FIFO method refers to an inventory system wherein the first items purchased are thought to be sold while the most recent purchases make up the ending inventory. On the other hand, the LIFO method assumes the opposite. The ones sold are the most recent purchases while the earlier purchases are included in the ending inventory.

cupoosta [38]

Answer:

Taylor can withdrawn 1,374.20 dollars each month

Explanation:

Timeline:

deposits of 444 for 20 years = withdrawals of X for 15 years

<-----/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/-/---\\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\->

We must calcualte amount to satisfy:

future value of his deposits = present value of his withdrawals

We first need to get the future value of the retirement account

and then the PMT this fund can do.

deposits future value:

$C \times \frac{(1+r)^{time} -1}{rate} = FV\\$

C $ 444

time 240 (20 years x 12 months er year)

rate 0.003333333 ( 0.04 annual rate / 12 months = monthly rate)

$444 \times \frac{(1+0.003333333)^{240} -1}{0.003333333} = FV\\$

FV $162,847.9340

withdrawals PMT:

$PV \div \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = C\\$

PV $162,847.93

time 180

rate 0.005

$162847.93 \div \frac{1-(1+0.005)^{-180} }{0.005} = C\\$

C $ 1,374.203

Selected operating data for two divisions of Outback Brewing, Ltd., of Australia are given below: Division Queensland New South

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

Queensland 14.7%

New South Wales is 24.0%

Explanation:

This is a case of modified return on investment since the question was specific that the return on investment should in terms margin and assets turnover.

The first task would be to compute margin and turnover whereas the return on investment would be the multiples of both performance measures.

Margin =operating income/sales

Asset turnover=sales/average operating assets

operating income/sales*sales/average operating assets=operating income/average assets

This question also require proofing the above formula as I have done.

Margin Assets turnover ROI

Queensland$82,320/$784,000=10.5%$784,000/$560,000=1.4 14.7%

South Wales$118,800/$1,485,000=8% $1,485,000/$495,000= 24.0%

R0I=margin*assets turnover

Queensland=10.5%*1.4=14.7%

New south sales=8%*3=24%

Slim made a single deposit of $5,000 in an account that pays 7.2% in 2015. What equal-sized annual withdrawals can Slim make fro

evablogger [386]

Answer:

annual withdrawals is $1,393.87

Explanation:

given data

Amount Deposited = $5,000

Annual Interest Rate = 7.2%

First withdrawal = 2020

last withdrawal = 2025

solution

we consider equal sized annual withdrawals = x

so we can say that Amount Deposited amount will be as

$5,000 = $\frac{x}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^6} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^7} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^8} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^9} + \frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{10}}$ ..........1

we take common here $\frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}}$

$5,000 = $\frac{x}{(1+0.72)^{4}} \times ( \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^1} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^2} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^3} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^4} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^5} + \frac{1}{(1+0.72)^{6}} )$

solve it we get

x = $1,393.87

so that annual withdrawals is $1,393.87

Radovilsky Manufacturing Company , in Hayward, California, makes flashing lights for toys. The company operates its production f

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given Demand D = 12,500 lights per year

Set up cost S = $51

Cost of each light (C) = $1 .05

Holding cost = $0.1 per light per year

Production p= 100 lights per day

Usage (d) = 12,500/300 days = 41.66(round up to 42)

= 42 lights per day

a) What is the optimal sizeof the production run?

Q =√{(2×D×S) / (H(1-(d / p)))}

Q =√{(2×12500×51)/(0.1(1-(42/100)))}

= 4688.577 = 4689 units

Q = 4689 units

b) What is the average holding cost per year?

Average holding cost per year = average inventory level * H

= (Q/2)H[1- (d/p)]

= (4689/2)0.1[1-(42/100)]

= $135.98

c) What is the average setup cost per year?

average setup cost per year = (D/Q)S

= (12,500/4689)× 51

= 135.97

d) What is the total cost per year, including the cost of the lights?

Total cost = D*C + total set up cost + total holding cost

12,500 ×1.05 + 135.98 + 135.97

Total cost = $ 13,396.95
