Answer:

Ball can certainly hold Sullivan to a contract for sale of the land.  Sullivan in his reply to Ball's enquiry offered to sell the forty-acre tract of land at $60,000 and nothing less.  Ball accepted this offer by Sullivan by stating his acceptance.

These exchanges of offer and acceptance meet the terms of a valid contract.  Therefore, Ball can always hold Sullivan for contract enforcement.

Explanation:

In making a valid contract, offer and acceptance are key ingredients, with specific consideration.  Since the two parties, Ball and Sullivan are agreed on the consideration and have exchanged offer and acceptance, the validity of the contract is enhanced thereupon.

Overton Company has gathered the following information. Units in beginning work in process 21,400 Units started into production
Sindrei [870]

Answer:

Equivalent Units of Production for Material = 226,700

Euqivalent Units of Production for Conversion = 216,700

Explanation:

The question is to Compute equivalent units of production for máterials and for conversion costs.

First, it should be noted that the Weighted Average Method will be employed as follows

Description                  Units   %Mate.   Equiv. Mat.    % Conven   Equiv. Conv

Completed & Transf.  201,700    100%     201,700         100%             201,700

<u>Ending Work in Prog.      25,000  100%      25,000         60%               15,000</u>

<u>Equivalent. Produc.                                  226,700                               216,700</u>

Note: To determine the Equivalent material of 201,700 above is as follows

Opening Work in Progress + Units Started into Production - Ending Work in Progress

= 21,400+ 205,300 - 25,000 = 201,700 units

Elenna [48]

Answer:

1. Compute the cost of goods available for sale, cost of ending inventory, and cost of goods sold at December 31 under each of the following inventory costing methods:

A. Last-in, first-out:

  • cost of goods available for sale = $20,230
  • cost of goods sold = $12,315
  • ending inventory = $7,915

B. Weighted average cost:  

  • cost of goods available for sale = $20,230
  • cost of goods sold = $11,543
  • ending inventory = $8,687

C. First-in, first-out:

  • cost of goods available for sale = $20,230
  • cost of goods sold = $10,675
  • ending inventory = $9,555

D. Specific identification, assuming that the April 1 sale was selected one-fifth from the beginning inventory and four-fifths from the purchase of March 2. Assume that the sale of August 1 was selected from the purchase of June 30:

  • cost of goods available for sale = $20,230
  • cost of goods sold = $11,379
  • ending inventory = $8,851

2A. Of the four methods, which will result in the highest gross profit?

  • First-in, first-out , since COGS is lowest

2B. Of the four methods, which will result in the lowest income taxes?

  • Last-in, first-out , since COGS are highest

Explanation:

Beginning inventory, January 1 240 $21  = $5,040

A. Purchase on account, March 2 320 $23 = $ 7,360

C. Purchase on account, June 30 290 $27  = $7,830

total 850 units, $20,230

B. Cash sale, April 1 ($37 each) (390)

D. Cash sale, August 1 ($37 each) (95)

total units sold 485 units

COGS:

LIFO = (290 x $27) + (195 x $23) = $7,830 + $4,485 = $12,315

FIFO = (240 x $21) + (245 x $23) = $5,040 + $5,635 = $10,675

WA = ($20,230 / 850) x 485 = $11,543

SI = (78 x $21) + (312 x $23) + (95 x $27) = $1,638 + $7,176 + $2,565 = $11,379

nekit [7.7K]

Answer:

The debit balance for the vehicles account was $20,000, and the credit balance of accumulated depreciation account was $18,000.

  • Dr Vehicles account 20,000
  • Cr Accumulated Depreciation Vehicles account 18,000

then the van was sold for $2,000

  • Dr Cash account 2,000
  • Cr vehicles account 2,000

Since the carrying value of the van was $2,000 (= $20,000 - $18,000) and the van was sold for $2,000, Patel had no gain or loss from this transaction.
