Answer:

We should select Project A as it has a higher expected value of 10,800 compared to Project B's expected value of 9,000.

Explanation:

We need to find the expected value of both the projects, using the formula

Expected value of project A= (probability of loss * value of loss)+(probability of gain* value of gain)

Expected value of project A= (0.40*-3,000)+(0.60*20,000)

=-1200+12,000=10,800

Expected value of project A= 10,800

Expected Value of project B= (probability of loss * value of loss)+(probability of gain* value of gain)

=(0.30*-5,000) +(0.70*15,000)=-1500+10,500=9,000

enyata [817]

Answer: $696,000

Explanation:

Given the following;

JULY direct material purchase = $300,000

AUGUST BUDGET

direct material purchase =$480,000

Selling and administrative expenses = $48,000

Depreciation expense = $36,000

Purchase of office equipment = $72,000

Wages expenses = $150,000

Only 70% of the amount of purchases made in a month being paid that month. The remaining 30% paid the next month

Therefore, total Budgeted cash disbursement for the month of August will include ;

30% of July purchase

0.3 × $300,000 = $90,000

70% of August direct material

0.7 × $480,000 = $336,000

Wage expense = $150,000

Office equipment purchase =$72, 000

Selling and administration expenses = $48,000

= $(90,000 + 336,000+ 150,000+72,000+ 48,000) = $696,000.

Novak Hardware reported cost of goods sold as follows. 2022 2021 Beginning inventory $ 34,500 $ 21,000 Cost of goods purchased 1
hram777 [196]

Answer: See explanation

Explanation:

The correct cost of goods sold for 2021 will be:

= Beginning inventory + Cost of goods bought - Correct ending inventory

= 34500 + 177000 - 32550

= 178950

The correct cost of goods sold for 2022 will be:

= Beginning inventory + Cost of goods bought - Correct ending inventory

= 32550 + 155000 - 40850

= 146700

Note:

Correct ending inventory for 2021 will be: = Ending inventory - Overstated value

= 36000 - 3450

= 32550

Correct ending inventory for 2021 will be: = Ending inventory + Understated value

= 34500 + 6350

= 40850
