The total goods available for sale for the period is computed as follows:
Inventory, beg (200 @ $10) ----------------------------------------$2,000
1st Purchase (350 @ $15) ---------------------------------------------5,250
2nd Purchase (450 @ $20) ------------------------------------------9,000
3rd Purchase (100 @ $25) -------------------------------------------2,500
Total Goods Available for Sale -----------------------------------$18,750
(a) In computing the Ending Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold using FIFO method:
Total Goods Available for Sale ---------------------------------- $18,750
Less: Ending Inventory* -------------------------------------------- 4,900
Cost of Goods Sold --------------------------------------------------$13,850
*Ending Inventory
Inventory, beg ---------------------------------------------------------- 200
Total Purchases -------------------------------------------------------- 900
Total Available Units ------------------------------------------------- 1,100
Less: Units Sold ------------------------------------------------------- 880
Inventory, end --------------------------------------------------------- 220
Cost of Ending Inventory
100 × $25 = $2,500
120 × $20 = 2,400
220 $4,900
(b) In computing the Ending Inventory and Cost of Goods Sold using LIFO method:
Total Goods Available for Sale ---------------------------------- $18,750
Less: Ending Inventory* -------------------------------------------- 2,300
Cost of Goods Sold --------------------------------------------------$16,450
*Ending Inventory
Inventory, beg ---------------------------------------------------------- 200
Total Purchases -------------------------------------------------------- 900
Total Available Units ------------------------------------------------- 1,100
Less: Units Sold ------------------------------------------------------- 880
Inventory, end --------------------------------------------------------- 220
Cost of Ending Inventory
100 × $20 = $2,000
120 × $15 = 300
220 $2,300
(c) The Gross Margin for FIFO and LIFO
FIFO LIFO
Sales (880 @ $40) ------------------------$35,200 -------------------$35,200
Cost of Goods Sold ---------------------- 13,850 -------------------- 16,450
Gross Margin --------------------------------$21,350 ------------------- $18,750
The full question is:
A farm grows soybean and produces chickens. The opportunity cost of producing each of these products increases as more of it is produced.
The farm adopts a new technology which allows it to use fewer resources to produce soybean.
With the new technology, the opportunity cost of producing a chicken _____ because _____ soybeans must be forgone to produce a chicken.
Answer:
increases; more
Explanation:
Opportunity cost is the forgone alternative when a particular line of action is undertaken. For example in the given scenario more production of chicken will lead to loss of soyabean production and vice versa.
So when there is production of more chicken more opportunity cost is incurred because more of soyabean production is forgone in order to produce the chicken.
Economists consider opportunity cost seperately from the actual cost incurred in taking up a particular activity.
Answer: Option D
Explanation: Mary Parker believed that management is the art of making people do things you want. To achieve this both senior and subordinates should work in collaboration.
In the given case, the employees in the organisation are starting cliques, that is they are not accepting the outsiders and are not communicating with them. Thus, if the employees develop an attitude that they are a community then they could collaborate with each other.
