While on a trip to South Africa, Elena was impressed with colorful woven outdoor placemats, floor mats, chair cushions, and umbr

ellas that local artisans were weaving. Upon returning to the U.S., she was confident that U.S. consumers would be as intrigued by these accessories as she was. Elena decided to explore the possibility of starting an import business to bring these products to the U.S. Which of the following statements seems to be good advice for Elena?

Answer:

Before starting her import business, Elena should try to gather relevant information from companies that import goods, and if possible information about companies that import African goods.

Explanation:

Elena might be right about American consumers liking African products, but if importing those goods is too difficult, or is subject to several trade barriers, or some other issues, then Elena might have to reconsider her idea. Sometimes no matter how good a business idea is, if it is impractical to carry out, then t is useless.

Marta_Voda [28]

Answer: $38,410,000

Explanation:

When recording investments in fixed assets, it is best to use the market value at the time.

The market value of the land will therefore be the relevant cost here.

Initial investment in fixed assets = Market value of land + Cost to build plant + Cost of grading

= 7,700,000 + 29,300,000 + 1,410,000

= $38,410,000

Answer:

<u>Part 1 a</u>

jan 4

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (80 x $8.00) $640

Credit : Revenue $640

jan 11

Debit ; Purchases (150 x $6) $900

Credit : Accounts Payable $900

jan 13

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (120 x $8.75) $1,050

Credit : Revenue $1,050

jan 20

Debit ; Purchases (160 x $7) $1,120

Credit : Accounts Payable $1,120

jan 27

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (100 x $9.00) $900

Credit : Revenue $900

jan 31

Debit ; Cost of Sales (100 x $5 + 150 x $6 + 160 x $7) $2,520

Credit :  Inventory $2,520

<u>Part 1 b</u>

<em>Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales</em>

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = (100 x $5 + 150 x $6 + 160 x $7) = $2,520

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $2,520

                   = $70

<u>Part 2 a</u>

jan 4

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (80 x $8.00) $640

Debit : Cost of Sales (80 x $5.00) $400

Credit : Revenue (80 x $8.00)  $640

Credit : Inventory (80 x $5.00) $400

jan 11

Debit ; Purchases (150 x $6) $900

Credit : Accounts Payable $900

jan 13

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (120 x $8.75) $1,050

Debit : Cost of Sales (20 x $5.00 + 100 x $6) $700

Credit : Revenue (120 x $8.75) $1,050

Credit : Inventory (20 x $5.00 + 100 x $6) $700

jan 20

Debit ; Purchases (160 x $7) $1,120

Credit : Accounts Payable $1,120

jan 27

Debit ; Accounts Receivable (100 x $9.00) $900

Debit : Cost of Sales (50 x $6.00 + 50 x $7) $650

Credit : Revenue (100 x $9.00) $900

Credit : Inventory (50 x $6.00 + 50 x $7) $650

<u>Part 2 b</u>

<em>Gross Profit = Sales - Cost of Sales</em>

Sales = ( 80 x $8.00 + 120 x $8.75 + 100 x $9.00) = $2,590

Cost of Sales = ($400 + $700 + $650) = $1,750

Therefore,

Gross Profit = $2,590 - $1,750

                   = $840

Explanation:

<em>Hie, see the attached the full question as images below</em>

<u>Part 1</u>

Note that the question in this part requires us to use the Periodic Inventory System. In Periodic Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the <em>end of the Period</em>, in this case at the end of the month of January.

<u>Part 2 </u>

Again it is important to note that the question in this part requires us to use the Perpetual Inventory System. In Perpetual Inventory system, Inventory Valuation and calculation of Cost of Goods Sold is done at the <em>after each and every transaction made</em>.

<u>Overall Comment</u>

The Company use of FIFO should be considered in both the Periodic Inventory System in Part 1 and Perpetual Inventory System in Part 2. FIFO method assumes that the first goods received by the business will be the first ones to be delivered to the final customer.

That said, Cost of Sales for Part 1 are determined and recognized at the end of the period and Cost of Sales for Part 2 are determined and recognized after every sale transaction made

umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The Annual investment that you will to make will be $1,069.01

Explanation:

In order to calculate the uniform annual investment that will you have to make on the child's 8th through 17th birthdays to meet this goal, we have to make the following calculations:

First we need to calculate the Amount you have at the end of child's 8th year = 600*(1+0.05)^4 + 600*(1+0.05)^3 + 600*(1+0.05)^2 + 600*(1+0.05)^1 = $2,715.38

Therefore, Value of this amount at the end of 17th year = $2715.38 * (1+0.05)^9 = $4,212.45

So, Amount required to be saved = $16,000 - $4,212.45 = $11,787.55

Therefore, to calculate the annual investment we would have to use the following formula:

FV of annuity = P*[((1+r)^n - 1)/r]

P - Periodic payment =?

r - rate per period = 0.05

n - number of periods = 17-8 = 9

$11787.55 = P*(((1+0.05)^9 - 1)/0.05)

P = $11,787.55/11.03 = $1,069.01

The Annual investment that you will to make will be $1,069.01

max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Total FV= $678.615.02

Explanation:

<u>First, we need to calculate the value of the annuity at the end of the last payment:</u>

FV= {A*[(1+i)^n-1]}/i

A= annual deposit

FV= {2,000*[(1.06^30) - 1]} / 0.06

FV= $158,116.37

<u>Now, the total future value after 25 years:</u>

FV= PV*(1 + i)^n

FV= 158,116.37*(1.06^25)

FV= $678.615.02
