Answer:

A. FIFO - 78 units and $7,770 and Cost of Goods Sold $12,738

B. LIFO - Inventory Valuation $7,312 and Cost of Goods Sold $13,196

C. Weighted Average - inventory Valuation $7,304 and Cost of Goods Sold $13,204

Explanation:

Detailed calculation as under:

A. FIFO

First 73 Units are sold from the inventory on May 1. Therefore, we first take the beginning inventory units and then we take the next in line purchases made during the period. In this case the first 34 units are completely taken and then out of the 44 units only 39 units are taken.

Next 68 units are sold from the inventory on October 28. Now we will take the remainder 5 units bought on March 28 (which are not yet sold). Then we take 63 units out of the 68 units purchased on August 22.

The company's ending inventory on FIFO Basis is remaining 5 units bought on 22 August and 73 units bought on 14 October. There total value is (5 x 94) + (73 x 100) = $7,770

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Goods Cost available for sale - Inventory ending valuation

$12,738 = $20,508 - $7,770

B. LIFO

First 73 Units are sold from the inventory on May 1. Therefore, we first take the units purchased on 28 March and then we take the beginning inventory. In this case the first 44 units are completely taken and then out of the 34 units only 29 units are taken.

Next 68 units are sold from the inventory on October 28. Now we will take the units bought on 14 October i.e. 68 units out of the 73 units bought.

The company's ending inventory on LIFO Basis is remaining 5 units in the beginning inventory, remaining 5 units bought on 14 October and 68 units bought on 22 August. There total value is (5 x 84) + (5 x 100) + (68 x 94) = &7,312

Cost of Goods Sold = Total Goods Cost available for sale - Inventory ending valuation

$13,196 = $20,508 - $7,312

C. Weighted Average

In order to calculate Weighted average cost method we divide the total cost of inventory (Beginning and Purchased) with the total units, this yields average cost per unit. Then we multiple the average cost per unit with the units remaining after sales. As shown below:

$20,508 / 219 = $93.64 per unit

$93.64 x 78 units = $7,304

What should you do if you suspect your boss of unethical business practices?

Zina [86]

The other day, someone asked me about the last time my ethics had been tested at work and how I reacted.

I wasn’t sure how to respond. It’s a good question, and I wanted to answer it. Still, I hesitated to reveal too much about some of the less-than-honest bosses I’ve reported to in the last two decades.

These are bosses who lied, gossiped about their staff to other staff, broke confidences, fudged numbers to governmental agencies, botched payroll tax withholdings and covered it up, and willfully and recklessly turned a blind eye to leadership abuse — for starters.

steposvetlana [31]

If the company requires a return of 10 percent for such an investment, calculate the present value of the project.

The present value of the project is $72349.51.

Since we consider only incremental cash flows for a project, we consider $21,600 for year one and calculate a 4% increase for each of the additional years.

We then calculate the Present Value Interest Factor (PVIF) at 10% for four years using the formula :

PVIF = 1 / [(1+r)^n]

Next, we find the product of the respective cash flows and PVIF for each year.

Finally, we find the total of the discounted cash flows for the four years to find the Present Value of the project.

sasho [114]

Answer:

The correct answer is the option A: True.

Explanation:

To begin with, the contracts inside the law are regulated by the Anglo-America common law that defines a contract as the agreement between two or more parties in which they establish the basis and principles of the agreement and the clauses that could cause to end the contract. Moreover, a contract is also part of the civil law and therefore that it does not implicate the public as a whole in any way due to the fact that in order to be a correct contract the parties must accept the bond between only them and nobody else.

Because there isn't one single measure of inflation, the government and researchers use a variety of methods to get the most balanced picture of how prices fluctuate in the economy. Two of the most commonly used price indexes are the consumer price index (CPI) and the GDP deflator. The CPI for this year is calculated by dividing the value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using this year's prices by the value of all goods and services produced in the economy this year using the base year's prices and multiplying by 100. However, the GDP deflator reflects only the prices of all goods and services bought by the consumers.

Explanation:

GDP is the gross domestic product of a country which specifies the level of growth of the country. The value of the goods and the services of the country produced by the people of the country are all reflected in the gross domestic product of the country.

Greater the rate of GDP is of a particular country, higher would be the growth of the country. It is also used as a measure of comparison of the growth rate of the country.
