Answer:

Sell option is preferred.

Explanation:

The decision whether to lease out the machinery that is surplus to requirement or sell outrightly is dependent on the differential analysis performed below.In the analysis I have compared the profits under each option in order to guide the final decision:

Differential analysis as at 7th November(Sale or lease option)                      

                                                                         Sell option              lease option

revenue   from sell/lease option                        $180,000                 $200,000

Brokerage commission(5%*$180,000)                 ($9,000)                        -

costs of repairs,insurance and property taxes          -                        ($34,400)

Profits                                                                        $171,000              $165,600

The sell option provides $5400($171,000-$165,600) than the lease option,hence the sell option is preferred.

One would have expect that the lease option since it has more revenue to preferable but the costs of repairs,insurance and property taxes were also on the high side

Crane Enterprises reported cost of goods sold for 2020 of $1,290,700 and retained earnings of $4,708,100 at December 31, 2020. C
Grace [21]

Answer:

  • Adjusted Cost of Goods sold = $1,206,860
  • Adjusted Retained Earnings = $4,675,190

Explanation:

An overstated opening inventory would overstate Cost of Goods sold. The overstatement should therefore be removed from the Cost of goods sold.

An overstated closing inventory would understate Cost of Goods sold. The overstatement should therefore be added to the Cost of Goods sold.

Adjusted Cost of Goods sold 2020 = Cost of Goods sold + 2020 ending inventory - 2019 opening inventory

= 1,290,700 + 32,910 - 116,750

= $1,206,860

Adjusted Retained earnings

The retained earnings would have to be adjusted for the overstatement of the current inventory by $32,910 because this understated Cost of Goods sold.

= Retained earnings - Overstatement of inventory

= 4,708,100 - 32,910

= $4,675,190
