Answer: Option B
Explanation: The receiving of cash from customers will have no effect on total assets, as the amount of inventory will decrease and the amount of cash will increase by the same amount. Thus the accounting equation will remain same from such a transaction as one asset will decrease and other will increase.
Thus, from the above we can conclude that the correct option is B.
1) Town of Bayport:
We have that the residents value the fireworks at
a total of 50+100+300=450$. That is the utility they gain. But they
would also have to pay 360$ for the fireworks. The total outcome is
450$+(-360$)=90$. Hence, the outcome is positive and the fireworks pass
the cost benefit analysis.
If the fireworks' cost is to be split
equally, we have that each of the 3 residents has to pay 360/3=120$. Let
us now do the cost-benefit analysis for everyone.
Jacques stands to gain 50$ from the fireworks but would have to pay 120$. He will vote against it.
Also, Kyoko will gain 100$ but would have to pay 120$. He will lose utility/money from this so he will vote against.
Musashi on the other hand, would gain 300$ and only pay 120$. He is largely benefitted by this measure. Only he would
We have that 2 out of the 3 would vote against the fireworks, so that the fireworks will not be bought. The vote does not yield the same answer as the benefit-cost analysis.
2) Town of River Heights:
We have that the total value of the fireworks to the community
is 20+140+160=320$. The total value of the fireworks is lower than
their cost so their cost benefit analysis yields that they should not be
bought.
However, let's see what each resident says. The cost to each resident is 360/3=120$. Rina is against the fireworks since she will only gain 20$. Sean and Yvette are for the fireworks since they gain 140$ and 160$ respectively, which are larger than the cost of the fireworks to each of them (120$). Hence, 2 will vote for the fireworks and one will vote against and fireworks will be bought.
Again, the vote clashes with the cost-benefit analysis.
3) The first choice is wrong. It is very difficult for a government to provide the exact types of public goods that everyone wants because that would be too costly; one cannot have a public good that everyone pays for so that only a couple of people enjoy it. In our example, we saw that in every case, a public good and its production would have sime supporters and some adversaries.
Majority rule is not always the most efficient way to decide public goods; as we have seen in the second case, the cost-benefit analysis yields that the fireworks are not worth it but they are approved by the majority nonetheless.
The final sentence is correct. The differing preferences of the people make a clearcut choice impossible and the government has to take into account various tradeoffs and compromises in order to determine which public goods to provide.
Answer:
Cost of goods sold = $105,060
Explanation:
a) Data and Calculations:
Cost of goods sold section of the multi-step income statement:
Merchandise Inventory, January 1, 20-- $37,000
Purchases 102,000
Purchases Returns and Allowances (4,200)
Purchases Discounts (2,040)
Freight-In 800
Merchandise Inventory, December 31, 20--(28,500)
Cost of goods sold $105,060
b) The cost of goods sold comprises the beginning inventory, purchases and freight-in costs incurred during the period, less purchases returns and discounts, and the ending inventory. It represents the cost incurred directly for the goods sold. This means that indirect costs are not included in the cost of goods sold. Such costs are usually deducted as period costs before arriving at the net income.
Answer:
$831,600
Explanation:
The budget must account for all of the production of the first quarter and 20% of the production of the second quarter, the number of boots considered in the budget is:
Assuming that each boot uses exactly 2kg of raw material and that the company has 19,200 kg on hand, the amount of raw material still required is:
If the cost per kg is $9, then the budgeted materials purchases cost for the first quarter is:
The budgeted materials purchases cost is $831,600.
