Answer:

do not Install guard rail because the guard rail cost exceed the expected benefits

Explanation:

given data

guard rail cost = $70,000

average damage = $10,000

guard rail  prevent = 5 vehicles

to find out

What should the county do

solution

we know here guard rail cost  is  $70,000

but expected benefits = $10,000 × 5

expected benefits = $50,000

so we can say that do not Install guard rail because the guard rail cost exceed the expected benefits

Answer:

Winslow Inc.

a. No. I do not agree with management's decision and conclusions.  Eliminating the running shoes line increased the company-wide loss to $112,600 from a profit of $7,900.

b. Variable Costing Income Statements:

1                                   Cross Training  Golf Shoes  Running Shoes  Total

2 Revenues                      $850,000     $700,000    $635,000  $2,185,000

3 Variable costs:

Cost of goods sold             284,500       248,400      298,500       831,400

Selling and administrative  293,100        175,500       216,000      684,600                      

Total                                    577,600       423,900       514,500    1,516,000

4 Gross profit                   $272,400     $276,100     $120,500   $669,000

5 Fixed costs:

Cost of goods sold             128,500         90,300       120,500      339,300

Selling & administrative      95,900          82,400       143,500       321,800

Total                                   224,400        172,700      264,000        661,100

6 Income (Loss) from       $48,000      $103,400    $(143,500)       $7,900

c. Eliminating the line only eliminated the variable costs of goods sold and selling and administrative expenses.  The fixed costs were not changed with the elimination.  Therefore, eliminating the running shoes line increased the company-wide loss to $112,600 from a profit of $7,900.

1. Beginning inventory plus net purchases equals
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

D. cost of goods available for sale.

Explanation:

The cost of goods available for sale, also known as the total inventory, represents the total amount of finished products that a company had in its store for selling. The calculation of costs of goods available for sale involves adding beginning stock to the net purchases.

Beginning inventory is the ending balance in the previous financial period. It is the finished product balance brought forward of the prior period. Net purchases are the purchases adjusted for discounts and purchase returns. The costs of goods available for sale minus ending inventory will equal to the costs of goods sold.
