As a result of a thorough physical inventory, Coronado Company determined that it had inventory worth $321000 at December 31, 20
Helga [31]

Answer:

The correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300

Explanation:

The goods sent on consignment still belong to the consignor until they are sold off by the consignee. So, the consignor should add the unsold consignment goods in its inventory. Thus we will add the cost of goods sent on consignment to the value of inventory.

Value of inventory = 321000 + 46300 = $367300

The goods purchased by Coronado on 27 December with FOB destination should not be added to the cost of inventory as with FOB destination terms, the goods do not belong to the buyer until they are delivered to their destination by the seller.

Thus, the correct cost of inventory that Coronado should report is $367300

Suppose you invest in 100 shares of Harley-Davidson at $60 per share and 300 shares of Yahoo at $25 per share. Over the next yea
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

(a) $0 (b) 0% (c) 50% (d) -40% (e) 0.444 and 0.556 (f) -0.05

Explanation:

(a) Profit (in $) = (increase in price per share of Harley-Davidson * number of Harley-Davidson shares held) - (decrease in price per share of Yahoo * number of Yahoo shares held)

= $90 - $60 = $30 increase in Harley Davidson and $25 - $15 =$10 decrease in Yahoo

= ($30*100) - ($10*300) = $0

(b) return on portfolio = return/capital invested * 100 = $0/($60 * 100 + $25 * 300) = $0/$13500 = 0%

(c) return on investment in Harley = return/capital invested in Harley * 100 = $30*100/$60*1000 = $3000/$6000 = 50%

(d) return on investment in Yahoo = return/capital invested in Yahoo * 100 = -$10*300/$25*300 = -$3000/$7500 = - 40% (negative rate of return)

(e) Weighting at the beginning of year (in decimals)

Harley Davidson = $60 * 100 units/ total invested ($60 * 100 + $25 * 300)

                            = $6000/$13500 = 0.444

Yahoo = $25 * 300 units/ total invested

           = $7500/$13500 = 0.556

(f) realized returns (as a decimal) of the portfolio = 0.444*50% + 0.556*-40%

                                                                                 = -0.0493728

                                                                                 = - 0.05 (to decimal places)
