Answer:

Entry to record adjustment:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m

Explanation:

The question relates to a change in accounting policy. According to IAS 8 (changes in accounting policy and estimate), a change in accounting policy is to be reflected retrospectively and prospectively, which means any changes should be implemented by bringing changes in the past records. Since CPS company has been using FIFO method, the inventory has been overstated in the financial statements. A shift to AVCO has resulted in a decrease in inventory value.

The value of inventory has to be reduced as a result of change in accounting policy (i.e $38m - $28.6m). This is the closing inventory so a reduction in the value of closing inventory results in an increase in cost of goods sold (COGS), therefore, the adjusting entry will be aimed at reducing inventory and increasing cost of goods sold, see as follows:

Entry:

COGS Dr $9.4m

         Inventory Cr $9.4m

Which of the following costs would continue to be incurred even if a segment is eliminated? A. Direct fixed expenses B. Variable
stich3 [128]

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Common fixed costs.

Explanation:

A fixed cost is an expense that the company must incur, even if the company operates at medium speed, or does not, which is why they are so important in the financial structure of any company.

This is the case, for example, of payments such as leasing, since this, if nothing is sold, must be paid. It also happens with almost all labor payments, public services, insurance, etc.

Perhaps the main component of fixed costs is labor, therefore, it is not surprising that companies struggle every day for greater labor flexibility that allows them to convert those fixed costs into variables.

igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

$489,512.15

Explanation:

The formula for calculating future value:

FV = P (1 + r)^n

FV = Future value  

P = Present value  

R = interest rate  

N = number of years

We are supposed to determine the present value

Present value is the sum of discounted cash flows

Present value can be calculated using a financial calculator

Cash flow in year 1 = 84,000

Cash flow in year 2 = 113,000

Cash flow in year 3 = 125,000

Cash flow in year 4 = 130,000

I = 6%

PV =  387,739.47

387,739.47(1.06)^4 = $489,512.15

To find the PV using a financial calculator:

1. Input the cash flow values by pressing the CF button. After inputting the value, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.

2. after inputting all the cash flows, press the NPV button, input the value for I, press enter and the arrow facing a downward direction.
