Answer:

LIFO Periodic method

Explanation:

The LIFO means Last In First Out this means that item that have been stocked today would be sold first although there’s still some inventory from previous periods.

Using LIFO would result in lower ending inventory because closing inventory would be valued at low price which they had been bought assuming that there’s now a hick in price and goods in the warehouse were stocked when prices were low.

LIFO is used for the manipulation of profit.

Five individuals organized Miami Music Corporation on January 1. At the end of January 31, the following monthly financial data
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

a. Profit(loss) = Total revenue - Total expenses

= 131,000 - 90,500

= $41,000

The company did in fact generate<u> profit of $41,000 </u>and this can be shown from the Income Statement which is where profit or loss is calculated.

b. A company uses its assets to pay off its liabilities so if the liabilities are less than the assets then the company is capable of paying off its liabilities:

Assets = Cash + Accounts Receivable + Supplies

= 30,800 + 25,300 + 40,700

= $96,800

Liabilities are just the Accounts Payable of $25,700.

<em>Liabilities are less than Assets so Miami Music does indeed have sufficient resources to pay its liabilities. </em>

This information comes from the <u>Balance Sheet</u> which is where assets and liabilities are shown.

Explanation:

The cost of manufactured goods is the sum of the costs of direct materials, direct labor, manufacturing overhead, and work in process inventory.

The cost of goods for sale is the sum of the beginning finished goods inventory plus the cost of manufactured goods less the ending finished goods inventory.

The income statement is a statement of revenue and costs in order to show the financial performance of an entity during a period of time.  It shows the gross profit and net operating profit or loss.

The Gross profit is the difference between Sales Revenue and the Cost of goods sold.

The Operating Profit (Loss) is the difference between the Gross profit and the Operating costs.

Business applications have moved from transaction processing and monitoring to other activities. Which of the following is NOT o
laila [671]

Answer:

data monitoring                    

Explanation:

Data monitoring refers to the business practice where key business data are constantly monitored against quality assurance rules to ensure that it's always of good quality and complies with previously defined design and accuracy requirements.

Monitoring the data helps a company to constructively maintain high, accurate data quality standard. Through periodically reviewing the data as it is processed inside programs, enterprises may eliminate commodity-intensive information pre-processing before transferring. Software quality is tested with software management at the moment of creation, rather than during a step.

Frito-lay's sunchips line of snack foods uses solar power at one of its eight production facilities to harness the sun's energy
Leno4ka [110]

The answer to the blank space is green-oriented.

Green-oriented products are also known as environmental-friendly products, which means either the product is created from raw materials that will not cause harm upon use or disposal to the environment, or that the product is created through a process that does not impact the environment in a harmful manner.

In the Frito-Lay’s case of snack food manufacturing, it is clear that this is the second type of environmental-friendly product, since the product is partially produced using solar power which leads to less harmful pollution for the environment.
