Vibrant Company had $850,000 of sales in each of three consecutive years 2016–2018, and it purchased merchandise costing $500,00

0 in each of those years. It also maintained a $250,000 physical inventory from the beginning to the end of that three-year period. In accounting for inventory, it made an error at the end of year 2016 that caused its year-end 2016 inventory to appear on its statements as $230,000 rather than the correct $250,000. Required: 1. Determine the correct amount of the company's gross profit in each of the years 2016−2018. 2. Prepare comparative income statements to show the effect of this error on the company's cost of goods sold and gross profit for each of the years 2016−2018.

Answer:

Please, for answer see attached file.

Explanation:

The difference will be between the gross profit in the years 2016 and 2017, because of the error. This is because the error will cause a difference in the cost of sold goods.  

In the year 2018, there will be no difference because the beginning inventory and final inventory are right.

But, for the three-year period, there will no be a difference in the total, because both, beginning and final inventory are correctly registered.

scoray [572]

Georgia will receive $17,100.

If Georgia was out of work for 19 weeks she would receive 60% of her weekly pay.

In order to calculate 60% you multiply $1,900 x .6 = $1,140.

Georgia’s Disability insurance will pay $1,140 per week after a four week waiting period. She is out for 19 weeks, so with the 4 week waiting period, she will collect benefits for 15 weeks. 15 weeks x $1,140 = $17,100 total.

Answer following question with true or false and explain.A firm's profit margin is 5%, its debt/assets ratio is 56%, and its div
maria [59]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

As a company's sales level increases, its current assets will increase, e.g. cash, inventories, accounts receivables increase. generally, also the fixed assets increase, specially if the firm was previous producing at full capacity even before total sales increased. But as sales increase, not only do the company's assets increase, its current liabilities generally increase also, and its profits should increase. In this case, 60% of the company's profits are reinvested in the company, and the liabilities represent more than half of the total assets. Therefore, it is possible that the company needs external financing, but it is also possible that it doesn't. You cannot assume that the company will necessarily need external financing, because retained earnings  and the increase in current liabilities might be enough to finance the company's growth in sales.

Turner, a successful executive, is negotiating a compensation plan with his potential employer. The employer has offered to pay
zzz [600]

Answer:

b. If the employer accepts Turner's counteroffer, Turner will recognize as gross income $55,000 per month [($480,000 + $180,000)/12].

Explanation:

Given that

Turner annual salary = $600,000

Counteroffer to received a monthly salary = $40,000 or $480,000 annually

And, $180,000 bonus in 5 years at the age of 65

So the benefit he will be getting would be after accepting the counter offer is

= ($480,000 + $180,000) ÷ 12 months

= $660,000  ÷ 12 months

= $55,000

When some firms enter a perfectly competitive industry in which firms are earning an economic profit, the short-run industry sup
inn [45]

Answer: Supply curve -  Increases rightwards  

               Market Price - Falls  

               Economic Profit - Decreases

Explanation: Perfect Competition market structure is with large number of buyers & sellers , homogeneous products & uniform prices , perfect information and free entry and exit.

'Free Entry and Exit' implies - no firm earns super normal (economic) profits or abnormal losses in long run.                                                                        When firms are earning economic profits in short run, new firms enter (because of free entry) & the industry supply increase reducing price , which further reduces the super normal profits to normal profits in long run. Similarly - Abnormal losses make firms exit (freely), reduce supply & increase price , hence reducing abnormal losses & resuming normal profits.
