Answer:

Peter is maximizing his profit and is making an economic profit.

Explanation:

Peter's Pencils is a pencil producing firm in a perfectly competitive firm.

It produces 1,000 pencils an hour.

The total cost of producing 1,000 pencils is $500.

The market price of each pencil is $2.

The marginal cost of producing the last unit of a pencil at this point is $2.  

An individual firm in a perfectly competitive market faces a horizontal line demand curve which also represents the average revenue and marginal revenue.

This means that the marginal revenue earned from the 1,000th pencil is $2.  

The marginal revenue is equal to marginal cost, this implies that the firm is maximizing profits.

The average total cost of the firm is  

= \frac{TC}{Q}

= \frac{500}{1,000}

= $0.5

The average total cost is $0.5 which is lower than the price. This means that the firm is earning economic profits.

Giant Ltd acquired 80 percent share capital of Expert Ltd. On 1 July 2018 for a cost of $1,600,000. As at the date of acquisitio
sweet [91]

Answer and Explanation:

1. For computation of the non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 is shown below:-

Adjusted profit = Profit tax after the year - Unrealized gain in stock - Gain on machinery

= $200,000 - $10,500 - $10,500

= $179,000

Non-controlling interest as at 30 June 2019 = Share capital + Retained earning + General reserve + Profit of the year June 2019

= ($800,000 × 20%) + ($200,000 × 20%) + ($400,000 × 20%) + ($179,000 × 20%)

= $160,000 + $40,000 + $80,000 + $35,800

= $315,800

2. The Journal entries are shown below:-

a. Profit for the year Dr, $21,000

         To Stock reserves $10,500

         To Equipment reserve $10,500

(Being reserves is recorded)

Working note:

For stock reserve

Sale price $120,000

Cost $60,000

Profit before tax $60,000

Tax at 30% $18,000

Profit after tax $42,000

Unsold stock 25%

Unrealized profit $10,500

For net gain on sale of machinery

Sale price $80,000

Cost $60,000

Profit before tax $20,000

Tax at 30% $6,000

Profit after tax $14,000

Unsold stock 75% (3 years from 4 years)

Unrealized profit $10,500

b. Profit for the year Dr, $179,000

         To Consolidated reserves and surplus $35,800

          To Non controlling interest $143,200

(Being profit of expert ltd. is recorded)

Working note

Share of non controlling stakeholders = 20% × $179,000

= $35,800

Share of Giant Ltd. = 80% × $179,000

= $143,200
