Answer:

$55,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Income in 2016 = $50,000

Nominal income in 2017 = $70,000

CPI in 2016 = 100

CPI in 2017 = 110

Now,

Purchasing power in 2017 = [ CPI of 2017 ÷ CPI of 2016 ] × Income in 2016

or

Purchasing power =  [ 110 ÷ 100 ] × $50,000

or

Purchasing power = 1.1 × $50,000

or

Purchasing power = $55,000

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

B) the sale of goods to a customer.

Explanation:

When goods are sold to a customer, the cost of goods sold account is debited by the same value that the finished goods inventory is credited.

For example, suppose a company sells $1,000 worth of goods to a customer, and the sales price is $1,200. The customer pays by cash the full value of the goods. The journal entry would be:

Account                                    Debit           Credit

Cash                                         $1,200

Sales Revenue                                             $1,200

Cost of Goods Sold                $1,000

Finished Goods Inventory                           $1,000

zvonat [6]

Answer:

Cole should record amortization expense for the leased machine at $9,000.

Explanation:

Machine cost would be recorded in book at = present value of Aggregate lease payments

Machine cost would be recorded in book at = $108,000

Depreciation (amortization) expense for the leased machine in first year= (Machine cost - salvage value)/Useful life

Depreciation (amortization) expense for the leased machine in  first year= ($108,000 - 0)/12

Depreciation (amortization) expense for the leased machine in  first year= $ 9,000

Therefore, Cole should record amortization expense for the leased machine at $9,000.
