Answer:

$32,300

Explanation:

Begining equity = Begining asset - Begining liabilities

= $231,000 - $96,500 = $134,500

Ending equity = Ending asset - Ending liabilities

= $262,000 - $78,400 = $183,600

We will find the net income for the year using the below formula:

Ending equity = Begining equity + Stock issuance + Net income - Dividend paid, or:

$183,600 = $134,500 + 23,500 + Net income - $6,700.

Solve the above equation we get Net income = $32,300

In 2021, CPS Company changed its method of valuing inventory from the FIFO method to the average cost method. At December 31, 20

alekssr [168]

Answer:

Entry to record adjustment:

COGS Dr $9.4m

Inventory Cr $9.4m

Explanation:

The question relates to a change in accounting policy. According to IAS 8 (changes in accounting policy and estimate), a change in accounting policy is to be reflected retrospectively and prospectively, which means any changes should be implemented by bringing changes in the past records. Since CPS company has been using FIFO method, the inventory has been overstated in the financial statements. A shift to AVCO has resulted in a decrease in inventory value.

The value of inventory has to be reduced as a result of change in accounting policy (i.e $38m - $28.6m). This is the closing inventory so a reduction in the value of closing inventory results in an increase in cost of goods sold (COGS), therefore, the adjusting entry will be aimed at reducing inventory and increasing cost of goods sold, see as follows:

Entry:

COGS Dr $9.4m

Inventory Cr $9.4m

Cox Co. accounts for its inventory using the LIFO cost method. An inventory loss from a permanent market decline of $360,000 occ

kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.

An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.

The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.

"The net present value of the investment, excluding the annual cash inflow, is −$403,414. To the nearest whole dollar how large

nadezda [96]

Answer: c. $81,202

Explanation:

The inflow will be annual and constant which makes it an annuity. Given the discount rate of 12% and a useful life of 8 years, the present value interest discount factor based on the table is = 4.968.

Option 1 present value

= 48,410 * 4.968

= $240,500.88‬

Option 2 present value

= 50,427 * 4.968

= $250,521.34

Option 3 present value

= 81,202 * 4.968

= $403,412

Option 3 is the closest option with the difference being down to rounding errors. The annual inflow would have to be $81,202 to make the investment in the equipment financially attractive.

Harmony Company sells handminusknit scarves. Each scarf sells for $ 45. The company pays $ 70 to rent vending space for one day.

choli [55]

Answer:

2.12, rounded up to 3

Explanation:

To solve the equation, we first need to set up an equation.

Let x represent the number of scarves. We want one side of the equation to be the amount earned and the other to be the cost

45x is how much they earn since each scarf is $45

70+12x is how much they cost for rent and production

45x=70+12x

Subtract 12x from both sides

33x=70

Divide both sides by 33

x=2.12

It says we should round up so 3 scarves to break even
