Helga [31]

Answer:

7%

Explanation:

nominal interest rate = real interest rate + expected inflation rate

nominal interest rate = 5% + 2% = 7%

Usually the nominal interest rate has four major components:

real interest rate: the net interest rate received by a lender or an investor
inflation rate: the general rise in the prices of goods and services, as inflation increases, the purchasing power of a currency decreases
liquidity risk premium: usually collateralized loans include a liquidity risk premium since not all assets can be easily converted to cash.
credit risk: possibility of the borrower defaulting the loan

Compute the cost assigned to ending inventory using (a) FIFO, (b) LIFO, (c) weighted average, and (d) specific identification. F

masha68 [24]

Answer:

Closing Units = (710 units - 490 units)= 220 units

a) FIFO : closing inventory = $14,040

Mar 18 purchase 20 *$62 =$1,240

Mar 25 purchase 200 *$64 = $12,800

b) LIFO : closing inventory = $12,780

Mar 1 opening = 90 * $52 =$4,680

Mar 18 purchase = 110 * $62 = $6,820

Mar 25 purchase = 20*$64 =1,280

c) Weighted Average Method (WAM) :

WAM= (Opening cost + purchases cost)/(opening units +units purchased)

= ($7,800+$14,250)/(150+250) = $55.125 cost before Mar 9 sale

WAM(after the first sale) = ($4,961.25 +$6,820 + $12,800)/(90+110+200)

= $61.45

Closing Inventory = $61.45*220 =$13,519

d) Specific Identification :Closing Inventory = $13,070

Mar 01 opening = 60 *$52 =$3,120

Mar 5 Purchase = 30*$57 =$1,710

Mar 18 Purchase = 40*$62 =$2,480

Mar 25 Purchase = 90*$64 =$5,760

Explanation:

Juniper Company uses a perpetual inventory system. The company purchased $9,750 of merchandise on August 7 with terms 1/10, n/30

kozerog [31]

Answer:

Amount of cash paid on Aug 16 = <u>$8,167.50</u>

Explanation:

As for the information provided the terms of purchase are,

1% discount if payment made within 10 days,

and a total credit period of 30 days without any discount beyond 10 days.

Here, inventory purchased on August 7 = $9,750

Less; Return on 11 August = $1,500

Net Purchases = $8,250

Since payment is made on 16 August that is within 10 days from purchase discount will be received

= $8,250 $\times$ 1% = $82.50

Amount of cash paid on Aug 16 = $8,250 - $82.50 = $8,167.50

Simmons, Inc. uses the lower-of-cost-or-market method to value its inventory that is accounted for using the LIFO method. Data

MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

The lower- of- market- or cost for the item is $21

Explanation:

In the lower of cost or market, the market begins at the replacement cost which is $20, which is then limited or restricted to a ceiling and a floor.

The ceiling is computed as:

Ceiling = Selling price - Completion cost

where

selling price is $30

Completion cost is $2

Putting the values above:

Ceiling = $30 - $2

Ceiling = $28

Computing the floor as:

Floor = Ceiling - Normal profit margin

Floor = $28 - $7

Floor = $21

As the market cannot be lower than the floor which is $21. Therefore, the lower of cost which is $26 and the market which is $21. But have to take lower. So, it is $21.
