Answer:

Lead time needed is approximately 1 day

Explanation:

In this question, we are asked to calculate the maximum number of lead days needed by a manufacturer to give a supplier

We proceed as follows;

They want to be able to fully supply the customer at least 50 out of the 52 weeks.

Mathematically; service probability = 50/52 = 0.96 or 96%

At 96% service level value of Z = 1.75

Standard deviation of daily demand (σd) = 50 units

Safety stock = 100 units

Suppose lead time = L

Safety stock = Z × σ d × √L

100 = 1.75 × 50 × √L

=100 = 87.5 × √L

√L = 100/87.5

√L = 1.142857142

L = 1.142857142^2

L = 1.306122448

Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

A) Journal entries:

Apr 30 - Debit Cash Account with $624,000

Credit Note Payable (Commerce Bank) with $624,000

Being 12-month, 7% promissory note

June 6 - Debit Purchases Account with $77,000

Credit Accounts Payable with $77,000

Being purchase of goods on account

July 15 - Debit Accounts Payable with $77,000

Credit Cash Account with $77,000

Being payment for goods bought on account

Aug 31 - Debit Cash Account with $25,000

Credit Deferred Revenue with $25,000

Being Security service income received in advance

Dec 31 - Debit Salaries & Wages Account with $42,000

Credit Salaries & Wages Payable Account with $42,000

Being salaries & wages due but not paid

Dec 31 Debit Interest Expense Account with $29,120

Credit Interest Payable Account with $29,120

Being 7% interest on 12-months Note from Commerce Bank accrued for 8 months.

Dec 31 - Debit Deferred Revenue with $16,667

Credit Security Service Income Account with $16,667

Being security service income due for 4 months.

B) Liabilities Arising from above items to be reported in Balance Sheet at December 31:

1) Notes Payable - $624,000

2) Deferred Revenue - $8,333 ($25,000 - $16,667)

3) Wages Payable - $42,000

4) Interest Payable - $29,120

Explanation:

a) The 12-month 7% Note received from Commerce Bank on April 30 increases the Cash and the Notes Payable by $624,000.  This balance represents a liability in the balance sheet.

b) The purchase of goods on June 6 increases Inventory and Accounts Payable by $77,000.  And the payment on July 15 cancels out the Payable while reducing Cash balance.  There is no liability arising from these transactions on the balance sheet date.

c) When payment for security service is received six months in advance, there is a deferred revenue to be recognized.  Part of this (for 4 months) is later recognized in the accounts because the service had been rendered partly.  This is equal to $25,000 x 4/6 = $16,667.  The balance of $8,333 is recognized as a liability.

d) Salaries and Wages determined to be $42,000 were not paid as at December 31.  This gives rise to a liability (Wages Payable).  However, the unpaid $42,000 is accrued and recognized as an expense in the income statement.

e) Interest Expense Account is calculated at 7% on the 12-month Promissory Note of $624,000 for 8 months.  This gives $29,120 (624,000 x 7% x 8/12).
