Answer:

D)determines the inventory on hand only at the end of the accounting period.

Explanation:

Due to the fact of <em>inflation, </em>change of prices over time, a periodic inventory system does not provide a better record over the cost of inventory because it is only determined once in the accounting period, usually at the end of it.

Meanwhile, a perpetual inventory system keeps a record showing the inventory at all time. That is every time a sale is made, cost of goods sold (cogs) is determined.

So if a business does not need to wait until the end of the accounting period to check (cogs),  it is better to use a perpetual system.

vichka [17]

Answer:

                                                                                                   Automated

Sales (19,500 units at $30 per unit)            $585,000            $585,000

Variable expenses                                        409,500               351,000

Contribution margin                                       175,500              234,000

Fixed expenses                                              180,000              252,000

Net operating loss                                          $(4,500)           $( 18,000)

New Cm ratio=  Contribution Margin/ Sales Revenue

                      = $ 234,000 $ 585,000 = 0.4

Break-even point in  dollars=  Fixed Costs/ 1- (variable Cost/ Sales)

                                            =  252,000/ 1- (351,000/ 585,000)

                                             = 252,000/ 1-0.6

                                               = 252,000/0.4= $ 630,000

The resulting $ 630,000 is the break even point at which neither a loss nor a profit is incurred.This can be checked as follows.

Sales                                                                         $ 630,000

Variable Costs  ( 60 % $ 630,000)                          $ 378,000

Contribution Margin                                                   $ 252,000

Less Fixed Expense                                                   <u>$ 252,000</u>

Profit                                                                           <u>       0            </u>

Break even point in units =  Fixed Costs/ Contribution Margin in units

                                         = $ 252,000/ (30-18)

                                          =$ 252,000/ $ 12= 21,000 units

Two Contribution format Income Statements:

                                                                                                   Automated

Sales (26,000 units at $30 per unit)           $780,000            $780,000

Variable expenses                                        546,000               468,000

Contribution margin                                       234,000                312,000

Fixed expenses                                              180,000              252,000

Net operating Profit                                     $ 54,000                $ 60,000

Working:

Variable Costs per unit = $ 409500/19500=  $ 21

After reduction variable costs = $ 21- $3= $ 18
