Potential GDP = $20
Real GDP =$19.2
so an output gap is measured relative to potential output and it is calculated according to the formula [( X - Y ) Ă· Y] Ă—100. In this case, the output gap is [($10 billion - $8 billion) Ă· $8 billion] Ă—100 = 25%.
Answer: The correct answer is "CFO".
Explanation: A CFO (Chief Financial Officer) is responsible for the economic and financial planning of the company. It is who decides the investment, financing and risk in order to increase the value of the company for its owners (whether shareholders or partners). It provides financial, accounting knowledge and in general an analytical look at the business. In many cases he is also the strategic affairs advisor for the CEO.
Therefore, if he is guilty of serious misconduct, he may subject the company to large losses in financial wealth.
Answer:
Gross profit = net sales revenue - cost of goods sold. But what happens when your company doesn't sell any goods, specially if they only sell services and it is impossible to determine the COGS.
This is basically an accounting issue since the <u>IRS</u> defines COGS as:
- <em>The cost of products or raw materials, including freight </em>
- <em>Storage
</em>
- <em>Direct labor costs (including contributions to pensions or annuity plans) for workers who produce the products
</em>
- <em>Factory overhead the cost of inventory items sold </em>
So if your company doesn't sell any items from inventory, the IRS will not consider that your company incurred in COGS.
Reporting COGS is very useful for deducting business expenses, but it is not mandatory. Also, any expenses deducted as COGS cannot be deducted again as any other type of cost. So it is simply an accounting practice that helps certain industries to report their business expenses more clearly and in an orderly manner. But if it is too complicated to determine your company's COGS, then you can report your expenses in other ways and reduce your problems.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
With regard to the above information,
1. Corrected cost of goods sold is computed as
= Cost of goods sold + Overstated ending inventories 2019 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $1,322,900 + $106,470 - $36,820
= $1,253,250
2. Corrected 12/31/2020 retained earnings is computed as
= Retained earnings DEC 2020 - overstated ending inventories 2020
= $4,854,000 - $36,820
= $4,817,180
