Answer:

1. The Cost of Goods Sold for the period ended 2018 is 682,950.

2. If FIFO method has been used, the Cost of Goods Sold would have been 660,525. Hence, LIFO method has reduced Gross Profit by 22,425 (682,950 - 660,525).

Explanation:

LIFO is one of the methods to calculate cost of goods sold. It assumes that the recently purchased stock is sold first. When a company uses LIFO method, it gets a higher cost of goods sold figure because of Inflation factor.

In the example shared, the company has opening stock of 21,000 units which were purchased at a unit price of $8. During the Year, further units were purchased but this time at a unit cost of $9.95. It is given that the Sales were of 70,500 units. Since the company uses LIFO method, it must remove the recently purchased stock from its books first. So,

61,000 * 9.95 = $606,950.

But the company sold 70,500 units. It means that 61,000 of recently purchased goods were sold and the remaining (70,500 - 61,000) from opening stock.

9,500 * 8 = $76,000. This gives us total CGS of $682,950 (606,950 + 76,000).

If you have any further queries, feel free to ask me. Thanks!

Mercer, Inc. provides the following data for​ 2019:

Net Sales Revenue 598000

Cost of Goods Sold 350000

The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is​ ________. (Round your answer to two decimal​ places.)

Answer:

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%

Explanation:

The gross profit is a profit earned by a business through its trading activity. It is calculated by deducting the cost of goods sold from the net sales revenue and it is the profit earned by a business before deducting any operating and non operating expenses of the business.

Gross profit = Net Sales - Cost of goods sold

Gross Profit = 598000 - 350000   = $248000

The gross profit as a percentage of net sales is,

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = Gross profit / Net Sales

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 248000 / 598000

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales = 0.4147 or 41.47%

Under corporate law, corporations are given the same rights as
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

C. individuals

Explanation:

The law treats corporates organizations as legal citizens. It gives them commercial right to own property, enter into contracts, and incur debts. Corporates have tax obligations, just like individuals. They can sue and be sued.

The law considers a corporate as a separate entity from its owners. It distinguishes the assets and liabilities of the institutions as different from those of its founders. A corporate has an infinite life. The death of its shareholders does not automatically mean its termination.

Leni [432]

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For three months

= Discount ÷ Price at sale

= 6.07 ÷ 9993.93

= 0.0607%

And, the annualized yield is

= 0.0607% ÷ 3 × 12
