I believe the answer will be that, the Gold sales will decrease by 80%. (200 × 0.4)
Price elasticity is a measure of the change in the quantity demanded or purchased of a product in relation to its price change. It is the percentage change in the quantity demanded of a good or a service divided by the percentage change in the price. 
That is; Price elasticity of demand = % change in quantity/% change in price

mezya [45]

Answer:

A. $1,280,600

B. $1,280,600

Explanation:

A. Preparation of an absorption costing income statement.

Tudor Manufacturing Co.

Absorption Costing Income Statement

For the Month Ended June 30, 2014

Sales (420,000 units) $7,450,000

Cost of goods manufactured $7,160,000

(500,000 units x $14.32 per unit)

($160,000 / 500,000 units = $0.32 per unit)

($14 per unit + $0.32 per unit = $14.32 per unit)

Less ending inventory $1,145,600

(80,000 units x $14.32 per unit)

Cost of goods sold $6,014,400

Gross profit $1,435,600

($7,450,000 - $6,014,400)

Selling and administrative expenses:

Variable selling and administrative expenses $80,000

Fixed selling and administrative expenses $75,000 $155,000

Income from operations $1,280,600

($1,435,600 - $155,000)

Therefore the absorption costing income statement will be $1,280,600

B.Calculation to Reconcile the variable costing income from operations of $1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a)

First step is to calculate ending inventory difference

Ending inventory difference = $1,145,600 - $1,120,000

Ending inventory difference = $25,600

Now let Reconcile the variable costing income from operations

Reconciliation of Variable Costing and Absorption Costing Incomes from Operations

Variable costing income from operations $1,255,000

Add: Difference between absorption costing and variable costing ending inventories $25,600

Absorption costing income from operations $1,280,600

($1,255,000+$25,600)

Therefore the variable costing income from operations of $1,255,000 with the absorption costing income from operations determined in (a) will be $1,280,600

Wellington Company reported net income of $60,000 in 2017 and $80,000 in 2018. However, ending inventory was overstated by $7,00
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

2017 Net Income = $53000

2018 Net Income = $87000

Explanation:

The overstatement of ending/closing inventory causes the Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) to be understated and the Gross and Net profit to be overstated by the same amount.

If the 2017 ending inventory was iverstated by $7000, the correct profit figure for 2017 will be $7000 less than is reported.

2017 correct Net Income = 60000 - 7000 = $53000

An overstatment of ending inventory in one year also means and overstatement of opening inventory of the next year. Thus, the 2018 opening inventory is overstated by $8000 and an overstatement of opening inventory means an overstatement of COGS and an understatement of Gross and Net Income by the same amount.

Thus, the correct Net Income for 2018 = 80000 + 7000 = $87000
