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.

dybincka [34]

Answer:

D) or E) (are this the same?) 50 units of grain and 130 units of incense

Explanation:

Agland has an advantage producing Organic grain, and Zealand producing Incense, So:

If Agland specialices in producing organic grain it would produce with 20 workers 200 units of grain a year.

If Zealand specialices in producing Incense, it would produce with 10 workers 150 units of incense a year.

This gives a Total combined output of 200 units of grain and 150 unit of incense a year.

Given that the total current output of the two countries is 150 units of grain and 20 units of incense it would increase in 50 units of grain and 130 units of incense.

A nonsufficient-funds check was returned to your company. How does the bank treat this on your bank statement?
Anit [1.1K]

Answer:

B. IT'S SHOWN AS A DEBIT MEMO

Explanation:

A bank creates a debit memo when it charges a company a fee on its bank statement, thereby reducing the balance in the company's checking account. Thus, if a bank account has a balance of $1,000 and the bank charges a service fee of $50 with a debit memo, the account then has a remaining balance of $950. Examples of charges that can cause debit memorandums are bank service charges, bounced (not sufficient funds) check fees, charges for the printing of check stock, and rental fees for the use of remote deposit capture scanners and software
