Answer:

COGS overstated for 5,000

Explanation:

<em>The COGS will be overstated  for the same ammount,</em> that is because of the inventory identity.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory + COGS

If ending Inventory has a problem, it will be transferred to COGS as well to equalize the formula

If ending Inventory is understated it means their alue is less than it's real value,

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase \neq Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS

so to balance the formula COGS need to be overstated.

$$Beginning Inventory + Purchase = Ending Inventory (Real Inventory - Understimation) + COGS(Real COGS + EI error)

​Wellness, a healthy living​ magazine, collected in subscription revenue on May 31. Each subscriber will receive an issue of the
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer: $220,000

Explanation:

Using the Accrual Method of Accounting means that revenue is only to be recorded when it is earned i.e. when services have been delivered.

Any revenue received when the services have not been delivered will be recorded as Unearned Revenue.

With $528,000 in subscription revenue, the monthly subscription is;

= 528,000/12

= $44,000

From June to December would be 7 months so they would have earned;

= 44,000 * 7

= $308,000

The amount that they have not earned but have received would therefore be;

= 528,000 - 308,000

= $220,000

<em>This amount will be recorded after they finish deliveries of magazines in next year May. </em>

Charlie sells cookies only in packages of 10. It costs him $3.50 in materials per package. Additionally, he has overhead costs o
yaroslaw [1]

Let x represent the number of packages Charlie needs to sell to make a monthly income of $5, 000 
Since he sells cookies only in packages of 10 then he has to sell 10x to make that income. But Charlie has expenses that has to be deducted from his total sales to make that figure.  
So the total expenses is $1, 500 in overhead and an extra $3.50 per material per package. So the total expenses = 1500 + 3.50x 
If he has to make $5, 000 at the end of the month we have
 10x - (1500 + 3.50x) = 5000
 10x - 1500 - 3.50x = 5000
 6.50x = 5000 + 1500 = 6500
 Solving we find:
 x = 1, 000 packages

Why is the supply curve a vertical line
AlladinOne [14]
In some cases, supply curves are vertical, which means that for any price from 0 up to infinity, the quantity will stay the same.

This is very true for supply of an authentic painting in auctions, where there may only be 1 single painting, and people state the highest price they are willing to pay for the painting. Regardless of the price, there will only be 1 authentic painting for that price.

Hope this helps! :)
