Answer:

An adjustment to retained earnings is necessary when when there is a change from LIFO to FIFO.

Calculating the effect on retained earnings:

- In the year 1 company followed LIFO and recorded ending inventory at $177500. Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded at $195000. So there would be increase in income of $17500 (195000 - 177500).

- In year 2 it followed LIFO and recorded opening inventory at $177500 and closing inventory at $355000 and thereby recording Net closing stock of $177500 (355000 - 177500). Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded a net stock of $195000.(390000-195000). So there would be increase in income by of $17500 (195000 - 177500).

So in total of 2 years there would be an increase of $35000 Net income i.e., Retained earnings and increase in stock value of $35000.

The journal entry is:

Inventory A/c Dr $35,000

To Retained earnings A/c $35,000

algol13

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that the cost of the ending inventory using the retail inventory method is US$ 100,962</u>

Explanation:

Wall-to-Wall Records

                                        Cost          Retail

Beginning Inventory $ 48,000 $ 70,000

Purchases                     $ 210,000       $ 390,000

Cost of Goods Available for Sale $ 258,000 $ 460,000

Cost to Retail Ratio

= $ 258,000 ÷ $ 460,000

= 0.5609 = 56.09%

                                                    Cost            Retail

Cost of Goods Available for Sale $ 258,000   $ 460,000

− Sales                                                                 $ 280,000

Ending Inventory                                          $ 180,000

× Cost to Retail Ratio                                    0.5609

<u>Ending Inventory                           $ 100,962 </u>

The Churchill Corporation uses a periodic inventory system and the LIFO inventory cost method for its one prod-uct. Beginning in
trasher [3.6K]

Answer:

$32,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine the before-tax LIFO liquidation profit or loss that the company would report

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =8,000 Units × ($12.00 per unit – $9.00 per unit) + (12,000 units-10,000units)× ($12.00 per unit – $8 per unit)

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =(8,000 units× $3 per unit)+(2,000 units ×$4 per unit)

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =$24,000+$8,000

Before-tax LIFO liquidation profit =$32,000

Therefore the before-tax LIFO liquidation profit or loss that the company would report in a disclosure note will be $32,000

Explanation:

The computation of the average product of 12 workers is shown below:

= (Number of units of a product in the case of 11th workers + marginal product of units in 12th worker) ÷ number of workers

= (54 + 6) ÷ 12

= 5

Hence, the average product of 12 workers is 5

The same is to be considered

Your friend Burrell says that the government should hire fewer social workers in order to reduce the cost of federal assistance
BARSIC [14]

Answer: b) peoples' responses to financial incentives.

Explanation:

Burrell would be wrong because the most leakage in federal assistance programs comes from the way people respond to financial incentives.

Some people who have received this assistance from the Federal government have decided that it would be better to keep receiving this assistance instead of working to actually get paid.

This has led to more people seeking assistance thereby increasing the number of people needing assistance and invariably increasing the cost of these federal assistance programs.
