What poster are you referring to? There’s nothing there but the question
Typically, a simple way to think of an input is anything that costs money. These can be both good and bad things. A simple example would be: if I had a machine that made candy: my inputs would be the energy required to run the machine, the person required to work the machine, and the ingredients I had to put in to make the candy. My outputs might be the candy the machine made and the happiness it gave to people who ate it. A negative output might be that it made people unhealthy.
As an internet company eBay does not have many of the typical inputs of doing business. For example, it does NOT have the cost of physical stores nor does it have the cost of depreciating inventory or any machines. For eBay, some examples of inputs would be it's people such as software engineers, marketing team, and executive staff. All overhead such as office space and the electricity to power its office space would be another example. Other examples could include the physical code behind eBay's software and money used to finance the company, and the data warehouses used to store everything.
Outputs can be thought of as the value a company creates. eBay's outputs are also somewhat atypical. eBay does not create a physical product that they then sell so that makes this a challenging question. You could argue that eBay's store or its platform is an output. All the data it produces as a company is an output and has a lot of value. Since eBay allows people across the world to open up their own store online, you could say it's creating the social good of jobs or entrepreneurship "global employment" through this action (eBay has supported this publicly as well so you could look up more about it on Google). Another output could be eBay stores created by sellers. eBay owns PayPal so if you can think of any related to PayPal you could include those as well and cite that eBay owns the company.
Hope that helps
Answer:
2021
revenues 420,000
gross profit 112,000
2022
revenues 1,680,000
gross profit 65,000
Explanation:
2021:
Cost incurred 308,000
Estimed to complete 1,232,000
Total cost 1,540,000
Percentage of completion 308,000 / 1,540,000 = 20%
Revenue will be recongize for 20% of the total
2,100,000 x 20% = 420,000
Less Cost (308,000)
Gross Profit 112,000
For 2022 we recognize the rest as the project is completed
2,100,000 - 420,000 = 1,680,000
Incurred Cost (1,615,000)
Gross Profit 65,000
Answer:
The answer is LIFO
Explanation:
LIFO is Last in First out. It means the Inventory that was purchased last goes out first.
In periods LIFO, cost of sales reflects the cost of goods purchased recently and the ending Inventory reflects the older goods.
In periods of falling prices, the costs of ending inventory are high, cost of sales are low and the gross profit are high.
Answer:d. LIFO will result in higher income taxes than FIFO
Explanation:
A period of rising prices means price will be higher on the latter goods than the former, inventory sold on Last in first out method (LIFO) will be costlier in this period than inventory sold on First in First out ( FIFO) this invariably means LIFO will result in lower net income due to high cost of inventory compared to FIFO and the lower the net income the lower the income tax this invariably means LIFO will result in lower income tax.
Average costing will yield result that are between those of LIFO and FIFO since it can an average of two price with one LIFO and the other on FIFO, LIFO will result in higher cost of goods sold since the latter goods will be costlier, FIFO will result in higher net income since the goods will be cheaper than LIFO.
