In 2021, CPS Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the FIFO method to the average cost method. At December 31, 20

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Entry to record adjustment:

COGS Dr $9.4m

Inventory Cr $9.4m

Explanation:

The question relates to a change in accounting policy. According to IAS 8 (changes in accounting policy and estimate), a change in accounting policy is to be reflected retrospectively and prospectively, which means any changes should be implemented by bringing changes in the past records. Since CPS company has been using FIFO method, the inventory has been overstated in the financial statements. A shift to AVCO has resulted in a decrease in inventory value.

The value of inventory has to be reduced as a result of change in accounting policy (i.e $38m - $28.6m). This is the closing inventory so a reduction in the value of closing inventory results in an increase in cost of goods sold (COGS), therefore, the adjusting entry will be aimed at reducing inventory and increasing cost of goods sold, see as follows:

Entry:

COGS Dr $9.4m

Inventory Cr $9.4m

The slope of the _________________ is determined by the relative price of the two goods, which is calculated by taking the price

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

BUDGET LINE

Explanation:

Budget Line is graphical representation of product combinations that a consumer can buy, given product prices & income (all spent)

It is downward sloping because of inverse relationship between goods - one good's consumption has to be decreased to increase other good's consumption, given same prices & income.

Budget Line Equation : x.px + y.py = m

[x = quantity of good x, px = price of good x, y = y good quantity, py = good y price, m = money income].

Slope of Budget line is : Amount of a good sacrifised to attain the other good, given same prices & income. The sacrifise ratio gets derived from the price ratios of the two goods.

Budget Line Slope = ΔY / ΔX = PX / PY

Biarritz Corp. is growing quickly. Dividends are expected to grow at a rate of 25 percent for the next three years, with the gro

mel-nik [20]

Answer:

The current share price is $82.85

Explanation:

D1 = (2.85*1.25)

= 3.56

D2 = (3.56*1.25)

= 4.45

D3 = (4.45*1.25)

= 5.566

Value after year 3 = (D3*Growth rate)/(Required rate - Growth rate)

= (5.566*1.045)/(0.105 - 0.045)

= $96.95

current price = Future dividend and value*Present value of discounting factor

= 3.56/1.105 + 4.45/1.105^2 +5.566/1.105^3 + $96.95/1.105^3

= $82.85

Therefore, The current share price is $82.85

A business will want to borrow to undertake an investment project when the rate of return on that project is:

pychu [463]

Answer:

B) higher than the interest rate.

Explanation:

In the case when the business wants to borrow for a project so the rate of return would be greater than the rate of interest

And in the case when the rate of interest is lesser than the expected return so the investment would look attractive due to this there is a rise in the borrowing for that investment

Hence, the option b is correct
