Answer: Debit: Cost of goods sold $1400

Credit: Inventory $1400

Explanation: The lower of cost or LCM rule indicates that a company needs to value it's inventory at the end of the year at whatever cost is lower, between the actual cost of the inventory or its market price currently. This is in accordance with US GAAP.

In Mariah Company the historical cost, which is the actual cost of the inventory and thus what it is valued at in the books, is $74000. Replacement cost, which is how much it would cost to replace an asset based on market rates, is only $72600. The replacement cost is thus lower. Since the inventory is still valued at historical cost in the books, it will have to been written down to the replacement cost value. To do this the difference between both costs will need to be deduced. Difference is thus: $74000 - $72600 =$1400.

When write down occurs, this is expensed to cost of goods sold. This is because there is a decrease in closing inventories. If there is a decrease in this figure then it will lead to a subsequent increase in cost of goods sold, leading to it being debited to show this increase (remember the formula to calculate cost of goods sold). Inventory is credited as the value of this inventory has decreased, and inventories decrease on the credit side.

Kaylis [27]

When a customer who wants to buy new furniture for his living room uses his mobile phone and opens an app that uses the camera to overlay different furniture options, this is a type of technology corresponding to augmented reality.

<h3 /><h3>Augmented reality technology</h3>

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.
