Pair Co. sells one product and uses the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method to determine inventory cost. Information for the month

of January follows: Units Unit Cost Beginning inventory, 1/1 3,000 $ 4.70 Purchases, 1/4 8,000 $ 3.90 Sales 7,500 Pair has determined that at January 31 the replacement cost of its inventory was $4 per unit and the net realizable value was $4.90 per unit. Pair’s normal profit margin is $1 per unit. Pair applies the lower of cost of or market rule to total inventory and records any resulting loss. At January 31, what should be the net carrying amount of Pair’s inventory?

Ending Inventory 14,000

Explanation:

PURCHASES  

DATE QUANTY PRICE SUBTOTAL

Beginning 3000  $3.90  $14,100.00

Purchase       8000   $4.70     $31,200.00

Total available 11,000

Sales 7,500

Ending Inventory 3,500

Book value (FIFO) 3,500 x 4.7 = 16,450

Cost $4

net realizable $4.90

Lower Cost =$4

Ending Inventory  4$ x 3,500 = $14,000

Loss 2,450

If W. Edwards Deming was your management consultant, he would emphasize
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

Letter A. <u>Quality through constant innovation and quality assurance training.</u>

Explanation:

Alternative A is correct, as W. Edwards Deming was a pioneer scholar in the application of organizational quality management.

He was responsible for creating the 14 points, which are principles for management that will help the organization to achieve total quality. He was also responsible for popularizing the PDCA Cycle (PLAN, DO, CHECK, ACT), which is a strategic tool widely used worldwide to ensure continuous improvement and the quality of processes and products.

  • PLAN:  define objectives, methods and resources.
  • DO: Perform, educate and train.
  • CHECK: Measure and evaluate
  • ACT:  act correctly.

Continuous improvement can be achieved through the correct and targeted use of the PDCA cycle towards organizational objectives. For Deming, without continuous improvement, there is no survival of the organization in the market, so he argues that continuous improvement must be implemented in all phases of the project, to achieve the benefits of continuous improvement of processes, increased productivity and reduced costs.

Reese, a calendar-year taxpayer, uses the cash method of accounting for her sole proprietorship. In late December, she received
AVprozaik [17]

Answer:

a. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $20,000 bill in December?

= $20,000 x (1 - 32%) = $13,600

b. What is the after-tax cost if she pays the $20,000 bill in January?

total after tax cost (including investment revenue):

= $20,000 x (1 - 35%) = $13,000

= -$20,000 x 12% x 1/12 x (1 - 35%) = -$130

= $12,870

c. Should Reese pay the $20,000 bill in December or January?

January, since the after tax cost is lower

d. What is the after-tax cost if she expects her marginal tax rate to be 24 percent next year and pays the $20,000 bill in January?

= $20,000 x (1 - 24%) = $15,200

= -$20,000 x 12% x 1/12 x (1 - 24%) = -$152

= $15,048

e. Should Reese pay the $20,000 bill in December or January if she expects her marginal tax rate to be 32 percent this year and 24 percent next year?

December, since the after tax cost is lower

Murphy Inc., which produces a single product, has provided the following data for its most recent month of operation:
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Part a. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

Variable costs per unit:

        Direct materials                                                                         $ 165

         Direct labor                                                                                $ 72

         Variable manufacturing overhead                                            $ 8

Fixed Overheads per unit:

       Fixed manufacturing overhead ($535,500/10,500)                  $ 51

Unit product cost                                                                                $296

Part b. Compute the unit product cost under variable costing.

Variable costs per unit:

        Direct materials                                                                         $ 165

         Direct labor                                                                                $ 72

         Variable manufacturing overhead                                            $ 8

Unit product cost                                                                                $245

Explanation:

Part a. Compute the unit product cost under absorption costing.

Absorption costing treats fixed overheads as part of product cost and hence fixed manufacturing overheads are included in unit product cost at their absorption rate

Part b. Compute the unit product cost under variable costing.

Variable Costing System treats fixed overheads as a Period Cost and not part of product cost hence fixed manufacturing overheads are excluded in unit product cost

How do you calculate the variable cost?
NikAS [45]

Calculate total variable cost by multiplying the cost to make one unit of your product by the number of products you've developed. For example, if it costs $60 to make one unit of your product, and you've made 20 units, your total variable cost is $60 x 20, or $1,200.

Hope this helps have a great day :)
