Answer:

Retained earnings for year 1 would be lower by $6000

Explanation:

A change in inventory valuation method resulted in higher cost of goods sold for the previous year.

This means had the new method of inventory valuation i.e weighted average been followed, the gross profit would have been lower by $10,000.

Had gross profits been lower by $10,000 , it would've led to net income being lower by $10,000. After deduction of 40% tax rate on such income, the after tax income would've been $6000 lower.

This further means the balance of retained earnings would've been reduced by $6000.

Assume the average annual CPI values for 2015 and 2016 were 207.3 and 215.3, respectively. What was the percent increase in the
mart [117]

Answer:

The correct answer is 3.859 %

Explanation:

Year 2015 = 207.3

Year 2016 = 215.3

Year 2016 (215.3) - Year 2015 (207.3) =  8

Rule of three

207.3 ------- 100%

8   ----------      ?

(8 x 100) ÷ 207.3 = 3.859%

For the past 8 months, Jinan Corporation has experienced a steady increase in its cost per unit even though total costs have rem
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

a decrease in the total amount of units produced while fixed costs remain the same (that is why they are called fixed).

Explanation:

For example, company A produces 1,000 units with a total variable cost per unit of $10 plus $10,000 total fixed costs. Company A's total costs = $20,000

If company A's production level decreases to 950 units, their total costs = $19,500. Therefore a 5% decrease in production units only decreases fixed costs by 2.5%.

Company A's total costs were evenly split between variable and fixed costs, but sometimes either variable or fixed costs are proportionally larger. If the fixed costs of company A had been 67% of total costs instead of 50%, the 5% decrease in units produced would have reduced total costs by only 1.7%.

So the larger the proportion of fixed costs, a change in the number of units produced will have a smaller impact in the total costs of the company.

Paladinen [302]

Answer: Assuming no other changes to Retained earnings, the balance in the Retained earnings account at the end of the year would be: $123000.

Explanation: First we must calculate the accumulated earnings to date with the equity equation: Assets = Liabilities + Equity

We know that equity is made up of capital + retained earnings.

If the asset is 195,000, the Liability 15,000 and the capital 60000

195000 = 15000 + 60000

195000 = 75000

195000 - 75000 = Retained earnings

$ 120000 = Retained earnings.

The result of the year is Income - expenses

226000 - 175000 = $ 51000.

Then the company's total earnings are retained earnings + Profit for the year = 120000 + 51000 = 171000.

We subtract the distribution of dividends and obtain the balance of the retained earnings account: 171000 - 48000 = $123000.
