                                                       $13,501   Balance from Jan 1st

                                                       $21,413    Bad debts expense

adell [148]

Answer:

Correct option is (B)

Explanation:

In accounting, double entry book keeping is followed as every financial transaction has dual effect on the books of accounts. It starts with the accounting equation which stated:

Assets = Liabilities + Stockholder's Equity

If there is an increase in assets, there has to be a subsequent increase in either liability or stockholder's equity.

Every transaction is debited in one account and credited in some other account.

For example Depreciation for the year is $2,000. Depreciation expense account is debited by $2,000 and accumulated depreciation account is credited by $2,000.

Since Sandra recognizes that an effect on asset will have a simultaneous effect on either liability or equity, she is following double entry bookkeeping.

Shawn Company had 130 units in beginning inventory at a total cost of $13,650. The company purchased 260 units at a total cost o
Katarina [22]

Answer:

FIFO

cost of the ending inventory = $15,680

cost of goods sold  = $39,570

LIFO

cost of the ending inventory  = $10,290

cost of goods sold  = $44,960

Average Cost Method

cost of the ending inventory = $13,883.37

cost of goods sold  = $41,336.76

Explanation:

The cost of the ending inventory and the cost of goods sold under FIFO, LIFO, and average-cost are calculated as follows :

Step 1 : Determine the Number of units sold

Number of units sold = Total units available for sale - Ending units

                                   = 390 units - 98 units

                                   = 292 units

Step 2 : Determine the Number of units in inventory

Number of units in inventory = 98 units (given)

Step 3 : Use the appropriate principles to calculate required values

<u>FIFO</u>

cost of the ending inventory = 98 x $160 = $15,680

cost of goods sold = 130 units x $105 + 162 units x $160 = $39,570

<u>LIFO</u>

cost of the ending inventory = 98 x $105 = $10,290

cost of goods sold = 260 units x $160 + 32 units x $105 = $44,960

<u>Average Cost Method</u>

Unit Cost = ($13,650 + $41,600) ÷ 390 units = $141.667

therefore,

cost of the ending inventory = 98 x $141.667 = $13,883.37

cost of goods sold = 292 units x $141.667 = $41,336.76

What Mark is displaying is selective distortion. This term is used when individuals continue to interpret information in accordance to the belief that they are supporting.

In the example, even though the news have reported that his favorite shoe brand uses child labor to manufacture the brand’s shoes, Mark chooses to believe that the media is lying instead of accepting the report as true.
