enyata [817]

Answer: $68,200

Explanation:

Estimated inventory = Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made * Cost Retail Ratio

Retail value of Goods Available for Sale

= Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail price of Purchases

= 120,000 + 480,000

= $600,000

Difference between Goods available for Sale at Retail Price and Actual Sales made

= 600,000 - 490,000

= $110,000

Cost to retail price ratio

= (Cost of Beginning Inventory + Cost of Purchases) / (Retail Price of Beginning Inventory + Retail Price of Purchases)

= (60,000 + 312,000) / (120,000 + 480,000)

= 62%

Ending inventory

= 110,000 × 62%

= $68,200

Sarah, the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees. Her boss, Vladimir, instructs her to increase the

Verizon [17]

Answer: Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.

Explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Sarah who is the controller of a large beverage supplier, supervises two employees and that her boss, Vladimir, told her to increase the company's inventory balance for an amount that is material to the financial statements by crediting several small "miscellaneous" expense accounts.

We are further told that Sarah does not know the reason behind this but told one of her staff to make them because she has been instructed to do so.

We can see that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue. She didn't evaluate the effect of what she is doing. In this case, what her boss told her to do could be a case of fraud and she just obliged without asking questions which will put her conscience at ease in case anything happens but the fact that she just did it without asking questions or thinking if what she has done is morally right or wrong, it shows that Sarah failed to evaluate a potential ethical issue.

interst expense 216 debit

account payable 216 credit

--to record interest incurred--

Explanation:

As we use periodic system we calculate the inventory and COGS at the end of the period so we use purchase and returns accounts rather than adjusting inventories in every transactions.

In the second method we use itnerest expense when the discount is loss.

<u><em>interest incurred for the period:</em></u>

(12,000 - 1,200) x 2% = 216

The secodn purchase at the end of the monthcan be paid within discount period therefore, we do not recognize interest expense yet.

The capital projects fund of Hood River completed construction of an addition to its city hall at a cost of $4,000,000. The city

Vanyuwa [196]

The capital projects fund account for the 10 percent retainage as (B) II only.

<h3>What is retainage?</h3>

Retainage is a percentage of the agreed-upon contract price withheld until the work is substantially completed to ensure that the contractor or subcontractor will fulfill its responsibilities and complete a construction project.
Retention is money kept back by one party in a contract as security for unfinished or defective work.
Assume the contract is worth $20,000 and you're submitting a paid app after finishing 25% of the work.
So you earned $5,000 during the pay period, but retainage is 5%. The current progress payment has been reduced by $250.
As a result, the "Amount Due for this Request" will be $4,750.

So, in the given situation the capital projects fund account for the 10 percent retainage as (II) the credit for $400,000 to Contracts Payable-Retained Percentage, that is (B) II only.

Therefore, the capital projects fund account for the 10 percent retainage as (B) II only.
