Explanation: 1. First in First out method which means the first inventory to be purchased by company will be the first to be sold.
Total cost of Sales = Total number of units Sold * Total Cost of inventory sold
= 100units*$5+ 300units*$5.30+ 200units*$5.35 + 450units*$5.60
=$7720
Total units sold=1450 we started from first inventory which was the balance of inventory of 100 units downwards up to the 1450th unit sold that was purchased on the 26th of April by the company.
2. Last in first out method is where the last bought inventory is sold first.
Total cost of sales= Total number of units sold * Total cost of units sold =200units$*5.80+ 600units*$5.60+ 200units*$5.35+300units*$5.30+150units*$5.1
=$7945
Total units sold still 1450 but we calculated the cost from the last purchased unit from 30th April to the 1450th unit sold which was on the 12th of April.
3. Average Cost = (Sum of all costs/Total number of costs)* total units sold
= (($5+$5.1+$5.3+$5.35+$5.6+$5.8)/6)* 1450
=$7769.58
Answer:
d $250,000; subtracted from
Explanation:
Sales of U.S. Treasury bills to the banking system by the Fed is a contractionary monetary policy that will reduce the money supply.
Based on the money supply multiplier, the amount of the reduction in money can be calculated as follows:
Amount of reduction in money supply = $25,000 / 10% = $250,000.
Therefore, if the banking system does NOT want to hold any excess reserves, <u>250,000</u> will be <u>substracted from</u> the money supply.
Answer:
Quantitatively, Harlan Bikes is justified in deciding to close the department, but there are other qualitative factors that need to be considered which may result in the company loosing much more that they can save if the department is closed, such as for example a decrease in employee morale, a negative signalling effect to other stakeholders, a drop in sales in related products etc.
Explanation:
A decrease in employee morale can result especially if workers in other departments are no-longer sure about their future in the company, resulting from fears of their departments being closed. This can negatively affect productivity resulting in lower profits in other department.
A negative signalling effect means that other stakeholders such as investors and creditors may start questioning managements ability to profitably run the business, and the company will be perceived as more risky. Cost of debt and cost of equity capital for example, may go up, due to this higher perceived risk, and which may reduce the number of positive net present value projects that the company can undertake due to an increase in cost of capital.
If the company carries related products in other departments, it may also see a drop in sales in those sales, which will effectively reduced the savings that are estimated to be gained from closing the division.
