Answer:
The beginning inventory was $2000.
Explanation:
First, we need to calculate the Cost of Goods sold. The cost of Goods sold is the difference between the Sales and the gross profit. Thus, the cost of goods sold is 16000 - 10000 = $6000
The value of the beginning inventory for the period can be calculated by using the Cost of Goods sold formula. The cost of goods sold is calculated as:
Cost of goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Closing Inventory
Plugging in the available figures in the formula,
6000 = Beginning Inventory + 8000 - 4000
6000 = Beginning inventory + 4000
6000 - 4000 = Beginning Inventory
Beginning Inventory = $2000
Answer:
Accounts Receivable $8,820
To Sales Revenue $8,820
Explanation:
The journal entry to record the sales revenue is shown below:
Accounts receivable A/c Dr $8,820
To Sales revenue A/c $8,820
(Being merchandise sold on credit basis)
For recording this we debited the account receivable as it increased the assets and credited the sales revenue as it also increased the revenue
The computation of sales revenue is shown below:
= Sales revenue - discount
= $9,000 - $9,000 × 2%
= $9,000 - $180
= $8,820

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
Return on investment = income ÷ investment
For Simone
= $54 ÷ $605
= 8.93%
For Riley

As it can be seen that simone contains the return on investment so the simone would be preferred
Also, the other factor that should be considered before doing any kind of investment i.e. risk
