Answer:

a. The company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Explanation:

If on its 2008 balance sheet, Sherman Books showed a balance of retained earnings equal to $510 million, and on its 2009 balance sheet, the balance of retained earnings was also equal to $510 million; then what is true is that  the company must have had net income equal to zero in 2009.

Retained earnings is the profit amount or net income left over and taken back into the business after it has paid out dividends to its shareholders.

However it is unlikely that the company will pay out the entire amount it earns in a particular year but a percentage of earnings.

In the case of Sherman, it is unlikely that the company made a profit of $200 million and paid out every bit as dividends to shareholders but what is most likely is that there was no profit made for retention in 2009

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

The cash accounting systems

Explanation:

The cash accounting systems recognize incomes and expenses when paid is received, or when payments are made. Revenue is recorded when customers make payments against an invoice, and expenses recorded when the business pays its payable. The cash accounting system is also called cash basis accounting.

The cash basis accounting system is mostly used by small business organizations.  Gerald's manufacturing firm uses the cash accounting system because transactions are recorded when money goes in or out of business. The cash basis is not recommended for large business organizations.

pychu [463]

a) direct manufacturing cost    $220,000

b) indirect manufacturing cost $130,000

2 a) the manufacturing department cost will be of $350,000

  b) zero as direct material, labor and overhead can be determinated.

3) a) $40,000

  b) $50,000 advertizement.

4) No as we can set the object cost to determinate the direct and indirect cost of the adminsitrative expenses.

Explanation:

a) The direct manufacturing cost will be the variable manufacturing cost linked to the unit cost:

Materials $7 + Labor $4 = $11 per unit

20,000 units x $11.00 = $ 220,000

b) indirect manufacturing cost will be the overhead.

20,000 x ($1.5 + $5) = 130,000

2)

a) Materials, labor and overhead.

which totals for 350,000

2 b) all the manufacturing cost are traceable so zero.

3)

fixed selling

20,000 x 3.5 = 70,000

less 50,000 advertizement = 20,000

variable sales:

commisions $1 x 20,000 + 20,000 = 40,000 direct cost (sales persons)

b) the indirect cost will be the advertizement as cannot be linked directly to the sales person cost.
