Answer:
An adjustment to retained earnings is necessary when when there is a change from LIFO to FIFO.
Calculating the effect on retained earnings:
- In the year 1 company followed LIFO and recorded ending inventory at $177500. Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded at $195000. So there would be increase in income of $17500 (195000 - 177500).
- In year 2 it followed LIFO and recorded opening inventory at $177500 and closing inventory at $355000 and thereby recording Net closing stock of $177500 (355000 - 177500). Had it followed FIFO it would have recorded a net stock of $195000.(390000-195000). So there would be increase in income by of $17500 (195000 - 177500).
So in total of 2 years there would be an increase of $35000 Net income i.e., Retained earnings and increase in stock value of $35000.
The journal entry is:
Inventory A/c Dr $35,000
To Retained earnings A/c $35,000

Answer:
1.53 Million
Explanation:
The reason is that the Environment Protection Agency is a qualified organization and donations made to qualified organization are allowable expense under the US tax rules, so the gross income will include a net amount which is the actual amount left for Hal Gore and which is $1.53 million ($2.1 m - 0.57).
As a result, there is a decrease in the quantity of gasoline demanded. Demand is the amount of a commodity or a service that consumers are willing and able to buy at a given market price while supply is the quantity of goods produced by the producers to the market. Increase in prices of a commodity leads to a decrease in the quantity demanded while a decrease in price while keeping other factors constant results to an increase in demand.
Answer: 0.67
Explanation:
From the question, we are informed that Levine Inc. is considering an investment that has an expected return of 15% and a standard deviation of 10%.
The investment's coefficient of variation will be the standard deviation divided by the expected return. This will be:
= 10/15
= 0.67
Answer:
c. $8.63
Explanation:
Missing word <em>"The forward LIBOR rate is 7%. All rates are compounded semiannually. A. $8.88
, B. $9.12
, C. $8.63
, D. $9.02"</em>
Principal = $1000, FRA Rate = 9 % per annum, LIBOR after 2 years = 7 % per annum, Compounding Frequency: Semi-Annual, Risk-Free Rate = 6 % per annum
The FRA matures 2 years or 24 months from now. Further, the Interest Rate that the FRA hedges will create an interest expense only at the end of the LIBOR loan period which is an additional 6 months after the 24 month period.
Hence, Exchange of Interest Expense at the end of 30 Months = (FRA Rate - LIBOR) x Principal (calculated on a semi-annual basis)
= (0.045 - 0.035) * 1000
= $10
Current Value of FRA = Present Value of Interest Expense at the end of the 30 Months Period
= 10 / [1+(0.06/2)]^(30/6)
= $8.6261
= $8.63
