You were appointed the manager of Drive Systems Division (DSD) at Tunes2Go, a manufacturer of portable music devices using the l

atest developments in hard drive technology, on December 15 last year. DSD manufactures the drive assembly, M-24, for the company's most popular product. Your bonus is determined as a percentage of your division's operating profits before taxes.
One of your first major investment decisions was to invest $6.0 million in automated testing equipment for the M-24. The equipment was installed and in operation on January 1 of this year.

This morning, J. Bradley Finch III, the assistant manager of the division (and, not coincidentally, the grandson of the company founder and son of the current CEO) told you about an offer by Pan-Pacific Electronics. Pan-Pacific wants to rent to DSD a new testing machine that could be installed on December 31 (only two weeks from now) for an annual rental charge of $1,410,000. The new equipment would enable you to increase your division's annual revenue by 8 percent. This new, more efficient machine would also decrease fixed cash expenditures by 7 percent.

Without the new machine, operating revenues and costs for the year are estimated to be as follows. Sales revenue and fixed and variable operating costs are all cash.
Sales revenue $ 9,010,000
Variable operating costs 1,140,000
Fixed operating costs 4,380,000
Equipment depreciation 970,000
Other depreciation 760,000

Would you rent the new aquipment?

Zigmanuir [339]

Complete Question:

The Company has the following transactions related to its top-selling Mongoose mountain bike for the month of March. The Company uses a periodic inventory system.

Date Transactions Units Unit Cost Total Cost

March 1 Beginning inventory 20 $230 $4,600

March 5 Sale ($360 each) 15

March 9 Purchase 10 250 2,500

March 17 Sale ($410 each) 8

March 22 Purchase 10 260 2,600

March 27 Sale ($435 each) 12

March 30 Purchase 8 280 2,240

For the specific identification method, the March 5 sale consists of bikes from beginning inventory, the March 17 sale consists of bikes from the March 9 purchase, and the March 27 sale consists of four bikes from beginning inventory and eight bikes from the March 22 purchase.

Required:

a. Calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015, using the specific identification method. The March 5 sale consists of bikes from beginning inventory, the March 17 sale consists of bikes from the March 9 purchase, and the March 27 sale consists of four bikes

from beginning inventory and eight bikes from the March 22 purchase.

b. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015.

c. Using LIFO, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015.

d. Using weighted-average cost, calculate ending inventory and cost of goods sold at March 31, 2015.(Round your intermediate and final answers to 2 decimal places.)

e. Calculate sales revenue and gross profit under each of the four methods.

Answer:

The Company

Ending Inventory:

a. Specific Identification:

Beginning inventory 1 * $230 = $230

March 9 purchase  2 *  $250 =  500

March 22 purchase 2 * $260 = 520

March 30   Purchase 8 * $280 =2,240

Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490

Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,490

= $8,450

b. FIFO:

March 22   Purchase     5   260     1,300

March 30   Purchase     8   280    2,240

Ending Inventory          13           $3,540

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $3,540

= $8,400

c. LIFO:

Ending Inventory:

March 1  Inventory     13    $230         $2,990

Cost of goods sold = Goods available for sale Minus Ending Inventory

= $11,940 - $2,990

= $8,950

d) Weighted -Average Cost:

Ending Inventory = $248.75 * 13 = $3,233.75

Cost of Goods Sold = $248.75 * 35 = $8,706.25

                               Identification                                           Average

Sales                           $13,900       $13,900      $13,900       $13,900.00

Cost of goods sold        8,450           8,400         8,950         $8,706.25

Gross profit                 $5,450         $5,500      $4,950          $5,193.75

Explanation:

Dat and Calculations:

Shop uses periodic inventory system

Date           Transactions               Units      Unit Cost    Total Cost   Total

March 1      Beginning inventory     20          $230         $4,600       Sales

March 5     Sale ($360 each)                   15   $360                          $5,400

March 30   Purchase                      8             280           2,240

Total Goods available for sale     48   35                     $11,940   $13,900

Ending Inventory = 13 (48 - 35)

Weighted average cost = Cost of goods available for sale/Units of Goods available for sale

= $11,940/48 = $248.75

Specific Identification:

March 5 sale 15 consists of bikes from 15 beginning inventory Bal 5 - 4 = 1

March 17 sale 8 consists of bikes from the March 9 purchase  Bal  = 2

Total value of inventory 13 units = $3,490

FIFO:

March 22   Purchase     5   260     1,300

March 30   Purchase     8   280    2,240

Ending Inventory          13           $3,540

LIFO:

March 1      Beginning inventory     13    $230         $2,990

Weighted-Average Costs:

Ending Inventory = $248.75 * 13 = $3,233.75

Amanda [17]

Answer:

<u>Budgeted functional income statement for 2015</u>

Gross sales ($2,000,000  × 1.04 × 1.06)                                       $2,204,800

Less: Estimated uncollectible accounts ($2,204,800 × 2 %)         ($44,096)

Net sales                                                                                        $2,160,704

Cost of goods sold (1,100,000 × 1.03)                                          ($1,133,000)

Gross profit                                                                                     $1,027,704

Operating expenses (475,000 × 1.10)                                            ($522,500)

Depreciation                                                                                     ($25,000)

Net income                                                                                       $480,204

Explanation:

Make the adjustments stated on the 2014 Income Statement.

For Operating Expenses, it is wise to first remove the depreciation expense and apply the increment of 10% to reflect Operating Costs for 2015.

Treat Depreciation Expense separately and at the same amount as for 2014, since depreciation is calculated on straight line method.

Country Able and Country Baker initially have the same real GDP per capita. Country Able experiences no economic growth, while C
muminat

Answer:

The correctt answer that fills the gap is Double.

Explanation:

GDP per capita, income per capita or income per capita is an economic indicator that measures the relationship between the level of income of a country and its population. For this, the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of said territory is divided by the number of inhabitants.

The use of per capita income as an indicator of wealth or economic stability of a territory makes sense because through its calculation, national income is interrelated (through GDP in a specific period) and the inhabitants of this place.

The objective of GDP per capita is to obtain data that shows in some way the level of wealth or welfare of that territory at a given time. It is often used as a measure of comparison between different countries, to show differences in economic conditions.

What can a food surplus lead to?
gayaneshka [121]
A food surplus in a society can lead to many different things. But based on the principles of supply and demand a surplus of food should lead to a reduction in the price of food, because the quantity supplied is most likely higher than the quantity demanded. In addition a food surplus could lead a country or companies to sell their food surplus internationally or to "dump" the goods on another country or market by selling the goods for a very cheap price most likely lower than the price of the good in that market prior to the entry of this new producer or country with the food surplus.
