Answer:

Value of ending inventory =  $960.4

Explanation:

To value inventory, The weighted average inventory method uses the  value of weighted average price of all the batches purchased till date. The weighted average price is re-computed whenever a new batch of stock is received.

Step 1

<em>Calculate the weighted average price</em>

For Glasgow, we can work out the weighted average price as follows:

The total value = (65 × $3.40) +( 310× $3.90) +( 145 × $4.00) + ( 60 × $4.40)

                        = $2,274

The total quantity purchased before sales

= 65 + 310 + 145 + 60

= 580 units

Weighted average price

= $2,274/ 580 units = $3.92

Step 2

<em>Calculate the closing inventory units</em>

<em>Closing inventory = opening inventory + purchases - sales</em>

= 65 + 310 + 145 + 60 - 335

= 245 units

Step 3

<em>Value the closing inventory</em>

= 245 ×  $3.92

= $960.4

Value of ending inventory =  $960.4

Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

The value of inventory destroyed=$4,082,000

Explanation:

<em>The value of the inventory destroyed is the difference between the the cost of the total goods available for sale and the cost of goods sold</em>

The value of inventory destroyed = cost of goods available for sale - value of inventory sold

Cost of goods sold = 3540,000 - (20%×  3540,000)= 2,832,000

The cost of goods available for dale = opening inventory + purchases + freight charges

$5300000 + $1432000 +  $182000 = 6,914,000

The value of inventory destroyed = 6,914,000 - 2,832,000 = 4082000

The value of inventory destroyed=$4,082,000

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

23.25%; 62.01%

Explanation:

(a) Amount received:

= No. of shares × selling price

= 100 × $43

= $4,300

Sales deposit = 60% of Amount received

                        = 0.6 × $4,300

                        = $2,580

Amount paid = No. of shares × Purchase price

                      = 100 × $49

                      = $4,900

Therefore, Loss = $4,900 - $4,300

                           = $600

(b) If buys at $27, then

Amount paid = $27 × 100

                     = $2,700

Profit = $4,300 - $2,700

         = $1,600

Loss on investment:

= ($600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 23.25%

Profit on investment:

= ($1,600 ÷ $2,580) × 100

= 62.01%

alex41 [277]

The statement " Incorporators are required to sign the charter, deliver it to the proper state officials, and purchase a certain percentage of the initial stock offering " is FALSE.

Explanation:

Incorporation of a business means making a company officially known by the company's sole property or general partner. If a company forms, it becomes a legal structure separating the individuals who founded the company.

Even though a company does not have a office there, the company must always have a registered agent within the state of incorporation.

Incorporation provides shareholders with immunity from personal liability for the company's debts.
