You have been hired as the new controller for the Ralston Company. Shortly after joining the company in 2018, you discover the f

ollowing errors related to the 2016 and 2017 financial statements: Inventory at 12/31/16 was understated by $6,800. Inventory at 12/31/17 was overstated by $9,800. On 12/31/17, inventory was purchased for $3,800. The company did not record the purchase until the inventory was paid for early in 2018. At that time, the purchase was recorded by a debit to purchases and a credit to cash. The company uses a periodic inventory system. Required: 1. Assuming that the errors were discovered after the 2017 financial statements were issued, analyze the effect of the errors on 2017 and 2016 cost of goods sold, net income, and retained earnings. (Ignore income taxes.) 2. Prepare a journal entry to correct the errors.

"You’ve observed the following returns on Crash-n-Burn Computer’s stock over the past five years: 6 percent, –13 percent, 24 per
Vanyuwa [196]

Answer:

6.80%

Explanation:

The average nominal returns is the sum of the returns for 5 years divided by the number of returns considered( i.e 5, 5 returns for 5 years)

average nominal returns=(6%-13%+24%+18%+15%)/5

average nominal returns=10.00%

The Fisher's equation is shown thus:

(1 + i)  = (1 + r) (1 + π)

i=nominal return=10.00%

r=average real return=the unknown

π=inflation rate=3%

(1+10.00%)=(1+r)*(1+3%)

1.10=(1+r)*1.03

1+1=1.10/1.03

r=(1.10/1.03)-1

r=6.80%

1. What are some considerations in choosing a financial institution? Which one do you think would be the most important consider
Greeley [361]
1. In choosing a financial institution you must consider how frequently the bank responds, how long they operate on the weekends, the notary services they are offering, the loans you can get and their financial strength among others. The most important factor to consider would be the institution's financial strength since you must only put your trust in institutions with high strength.

2. One good thing about the U.S. savings bonds is their security and the fact that the investments that you will make in these bonds will not cost you any form of state or local taxes. Cons would include its complexity though as it can get hard for you to identify when the bonds will mature, their interest rates, when to know how to cash them, and their current value.

3. If you put your trust in the so-called "problematic" financial institutions, you are basically gambling your money away. First of all, as mentioned earlier, you must only put your trust in banks with a healthy financial strength since problematic ones will be unreliable and unsafe. Trusting them can lead to your money being stolen or you can also be bombarded with additional fees.

4. The state and local government have laws that will protect the consumer from unfair practices or frauds. As an individual, you can add more security to protect yourself and your money. This protection includes setting up alerts on your bank account, adding a two-step verification on your emails so no one can access it easily, as well as avoiding calling lists.

5. One major advantage is that the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation has a $100,000 guarantee per institution so your investment won't be totally gone during unfortunate circumstances. The disadvantage, on the other hand, is that the interest rates on federally-insured accounts are below the inflation rate so you can expect a decrease in the value of your money over time.

sdas [7]

Answer:

a. One of the company's restaurants was destroyed in a forest fire that raged through Southern California. Uninsured losses from the fire are estimated to be $450,000: Other expenses.

c. An employee strike to increase wages and benefits shut down operations for several days at an estimated cost of $200,000: Other expenses.

d. A restaurant waiter slipped on a wet floor and sued the company. The employee won a settlement for $100,000, but California Sports Grill has not yet paid the settlement: Other expenses.

e. The company owns and operates over 40 restaurants but sold one restaurant this year at a gain of $650,000: Other revenues.

Explanation:

Other expenses in business management are non-operating expenses that a business incurs. It is a cost that isn't related to the main operation of a company's business, such as interest expense, losses incurred from disposal of a fixed asset.

Other revenues in business are revenues that are derived by a company from any source other than the company's business operations, such as a company selling one of it's restaurants.

Discontinued operations in business describes a situation where parts of a company's core business are sold, abandoned or shut down and all the profits or losses are usually reported separately on an income statement.
