A company acquires a subsidiary and will prepare consolidated financial statements for external reporting purposes. For internal

reporting purposes, the company has decided to apply the initial value method. Why might the company have made this decision?Consolidation is not required when the parent uses the initial value method.It is a relatively easy method to apply.GAAP now requires the use of this particular method for internal reporting purposes.Operating results appearing on the parent's financial records reflect consolidated totals.

Answer:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

Explanation:

When accounting for a subsidiary, equity method is followed, whenever the shareholding percentage is equal or more than 20%.

But here, the parent company uses, initial value method for internal reporting.

Under initial value method the value of investment in subsidiary is recorded at cost, and then adjusted at year end at fair value, this clearly shows the gain or loss at each year end from such investment as per market norms.

There is no statutory requirement to follow such initial value method for internal reporting.

The correct reason therefore, is:

It is a relatively easy method to apply.

pryor frosted flakes company offers its customers a pottery cereal bowl if they send in 4 boxtops from flakes boxes and $1.00. T
trasher [3.6K]

Answer: $30,000

Explanation:

Company estimates that 60% of boxtops will be redeemed.

They sold 500,000 boxes

= 500,000 * 60%

= 300,000 boxtops will be sent in.

So far, 220,000 have been sent in. How many left;

= 300,000 - 220,000

= 80,000 boxtops are still to be sent in

4 boxtops are needed to receive a pottery bowl so with 80,000;

= 80,000/4

= 20,000 pottery bowls are due to be issued.

Each bowl costs $2.50 to make.  Customers will send in $1 however so effectively it will cost the company;

= 2.50 - 1

= $1.50

With 20,000 still left to be issued, each costing $1.50, the total liabilitiy for outstanding premiums to be recorded at the end of 2007 is;

= 20,000 * 1.5

= $30,000

Demur Inc., a manufacturing company, has provided the following data for the month of April. The balance in the Work-in-Process
Verizon [17]

Answer:

$135,400

Explanation:

Given that,

Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory = $10,800

Ending Work-in-Process Inventory = $22,800

Direct materials cost = $63,800

Direct labor cost = $39,800

Actual manufacturing overhead cost = $40,800

Manufacturing overhead cost applied to Work-in-Process = $43,800

Prime cost = Direct materials cost + Direct labor cost

                  = $63,800 + $39,800

                  = $103,600

Factory cost = Prime cost + Manufacturing overhead cost applied

                     = $103,600 + $43,800

                     = $147,400

Cost of goods manufactured for April:

= Factory cost + Beginning Work-in-Process Inventory - Ending Work-in-Process Inventory

= $147,400 + $10,800 - $22,800

= $135,400
