* Assuming Purchases and Sales are made on Account

2.

Sales Value = $5,924,500  

Opening Inventory = $175,000

Closing Inventory = $307,200

Purchases =  $3,396,880

Cost of Goods Sold =  $3,264,680

Gross Profit = $2,659,820

3.

As the prices are increasing the Inventory value using last-in, first-out will be lower because all the unit sold at last are sold and inventory of the old items which was purchased on the lower cost remains in the closing inventory. The cost of Goods sold will be higher in this case.

Explanation:

First In First out (FiFO) is an Inventory method which determines the inventory value and it requires that the unit purchased first will be sold first.

Cost of Goods Sold = Opening Inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory

Cost of Goods Sold = $175,000 + $3,396,880 - $307,200 =

Gross Profit = Sales Value - Cost of Goods Sold

Gross Profit = $5,924,500 - $3,264,680

Gross Profit = $2,659,820

The Missing Link Chain-Link Fence Company is trying to determine how many chain-link fabricating machines to buy for its factory
OleMash [197]

Answer:

Explanation:

What is given:

The price of a new fabricating machine - 60

The price of a one-year-old machine - 51

The real interest rate is 10% per year

Marginal product of fabricating machines 165-2K (K - desired number machines)

If calculate the depreciation, (60-51)/51 = 15%

a) Find user cost of capital

User cost of capital is the sum of interest rate and depreciation cost multiplied by the price of new machine

= 60*(0.10+0.15) = 15 units

b) Determine the number of machines that will allow Missing Link to maximize its profit

165-2K=15

2K = 150

K = 75 machines

c)

Suppose that Missing Link must pay a tax equal to 40% of its gross revenue. What is the optimal number of machines for the company?

165-2K = 15/(1-0.4)

165-2K=14/0.6

165-2K=25

2K=140

K=70 macines

If the stadium made $2,150,000 last year for sports events but only made $1,650,000 this year, what is the percentage decrease i
stellarik [79]

23% decrease.


We can do this by simply dividing 1,650,000 by 2,150,000. That would give us 0.7674. Multiply that by 100 and you have 76.74%.

However, this is the percent amount of how 1,650,000 is out of 2,150,000. So, we need to simply minus this answer by 100 to get 23.26, or 23%.

The board of directors authorizes a cash or distribution of cash to its investors.a. Trueb. False
Novosadov [1.4K]

This assertion is accurate. A cash dividend or other cash payment to investors is approved by the board of directors.

<h3>Is the board of directors involved in the decision to distribute dividends?</h3>

Before a cash dividend is announced and later delivered to shareholders, a company's board of directors must determine whether to pay one and how much. The Board shall determine the amount of cash to be delivered to the Shareholders, both individually and collectively.

<h3>Dividends have been announced by the board of directors.</h3>

A company's interim dividend is the sum that the board of directors declares between two annual general meetings. Interim dividend is included in the definition of dividend under Section 2(35) of the Companies Act. It is at the board of directors' discretion to declare an interim dividend.
