Answer:

In the fourth quarter only.

When the loss is probable and estimable, the expected loss must be recorded in full. This loss becomes such at the end of the fourth quarter. Therefore, the inventory must be valued on the year-end at the lower of cost or market, recognizing the loss at that time.

Please find the complete question in the attachment.

Explanation:

\beta the margin of contribution unit= 130-25-22-17-14 \ \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =52

\alpha Margin Contribution Unit = 90-10-21-7-10\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 42

8

Contribution losses =62000\times 42 \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = -2604000

Fixed cost avoidable =102000\times 20 \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ = 2040000

The margin of Alpha contributions =17000\times 52 \  \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ =884000

Malika just got hired by Amazon to work in upper management. She currently lives in South Carolina, and has to move to Californi
zzz [600]

Answer: Malika's job starts in one month, so she will have one month without work. Therefore, the opportunity cost of moving herself is low during this month.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Malika just got hired by Amazon to work in upper management and that she currently lives in South Carolina, and has to move to California for the job.

A good economic reason for her to move her personal belongings on her own rather than hiring someone else is Malika's job starts in one month, so she will have one month without work. Therefore, the opportunity cost of moving herself is low during this month.

Since her job will start in a month, that means that she can use the available time she has to move her personal belongings. Assuming, she has something else to do or she'll be busy and will be hard for her to move it on her own, then it'll be logical to request for someone to help her move it but in this case, she can move it herself as the opportunity cost is low.

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Direct Materials    = $969,000

Direct Labor     = $699,400

Factory overhead    = $214,600

WIP       = $2,200

Finished Goods            = ($2,000)

Cost of Goods      = $1,883,200

Explanation:

Direct Materials  = $969,000

403,500 x 6 square yards = 2,421,000

2,421,000 + (40,400 - 38,900)  = 2,422,500

2,422,500 x 0.40 per square yard = $969,000

Direct Labor  = $699,400

403,500 personal journals

403,500 * 8 minutes  = 3,228,000 minutes

3,228,000/60 minutes  = 53,800

53,800 x $13.00 = $699,400

Prepare a cost of goods sold budget for Daybook Inc. using the information above

Direct Materials        = $969,000

Direct Labor         = $699,400

Factory overhead        = $214,600

WIP  ($16,500 - $14,300)     = $2,200

Finished Goods ($28,000 - $30,000)    = ($2,000)

Cost of Goods         = $1,883,200
