1 answer:

7 0

When identical units of an item are purchased at different costs: <span>an inventory cost flow method must be used under both a perpetual and a periodic inventory system.

A perpetual inventory system will update your inventory on hand after each sale or purchase of inventory is made. A periodic inventory system is updated periodically, meaning, a company will give a time period they would like their sales and purchases to update in and the system will perform that. Both systems are great for a business but it's their option of how they are generated.

Ms. Fresh bought 1,000 shares of Ibis Corporation stock for $6,700 on January 15, 2016. On December 31, 2018 she sold all 1,000

Sedaia [141]

Answer:

her basis in her 1,000 shares purchased in 2019 = $4,775

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Number of shares bought = 1,000

Value of Ibis Corporation stock = $6,700

Selling value of Ibis Corporation stock on December 31, 2018 = $5,350

Buying price of shares on January 23, 2019 = $3,425

Now,

Since shares are bought back within 30 days from the previously purchase shares sold ,

therefore,

the loss will not be considered

But this will increase the Adjusted basis for new shares purchase

Thus,

Realized loss = Sales value - Purchase value

= $5,350 - $6,700

= - $1350

Here,

the negative sign depicts the loss

LTCL = $0

Adjusted basis for new 1000 shares

= Buying price of shares on January 23, 2019 + Realized loss

= $3,425 + $1,350

= $4,775

katovenus [111]

Answer:

C. LIFO liquidation

Explanation:

Benson Company uses the LIFO inventory costing method for both its tax reporting purposes and its financial reporting purposes. In its footnotes, Benson Company is required to report the amount at which inventories would have been reported under FIFO method.

The difference between these two numbers is commonly referred to as LIFO Reserve.

LIFO reserve represents the difference in ending inventory using LIFO and ending inventory if FIFO were employed instead.

Third option is the correct option.

LIFO reserve = FIFO inventory cost - LIFO inventory cost

FIFO inventory cost = LIFO inventory cost + LIFO reserve

Deoro Company has identified the following overhead activities, costs, and activity drivers for the coming year:

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

Deoro Company

Unit cost for each model

Model A Model B

1. Using direct labor hours $176.72 $232.815

2. Using the four activity drivers $136.45 $298.20

3. ABC (method 2) produces the more accurate cost assignment. The overhead cost depends on the level of activity consumed by each model.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Activity Expected Cost Activity Driver Activity Capacity

Setting up equipment $492,880 Number of setups 610

Ordering costs 372,000 Number of orders 18,600

Machine costs 963,600 Machine hours 43,800

Receiving 501,600 Receiving hours 11,400

Total overhead costs $2,330,080

Activity rates:

Setting up equipment = $808 ($492,880/610) per setup

Ordering costs = $20 ($372,000/18,600) per order

Machine costs = $22 ($963,600/43,800) per machine hour

Receiving = $44 ($501,600/11,400) per receiving hour

Total direct labor hours = 8,000

Total overhead costs = $2,330,080

Predetermined overhead rate using direct labor hours:

= $291.26 ($2,330,080/8,000)

Unit cost for each model:

Using direct labor hours to apply overhead:

Model A Model B

Direct materials $600,000 $800,000

Direct labor $480,000 $480,000

Overhead $1,747,560 $582,520

Total costs $2,827,560 $1,862,520

Unit costs $176.72 $232.815

Units completed 16,000 8,000

Direct labor hours 6,000 2,000

Number of setups 400 200

Number of orders 6,000 12,000

Machine hours 24,000 18,000

Receiving hours 3,000 7,000

Overhead assigned to:

Using predetermined rate based on direct labor hours:

Model A Model B

Overhead rate = $291.26 per direct labor hours

Direct labor hours 6,000 2,000

Using direct labor hours $1,747,560 $582,520

Using activity-based costing method:

Rates Model A Model B

Setting up equipment = $808 $323,200 ($808*400) $161,600 ($808 * 200)

Ordering costs = $20 120,000 ($20 *6,000) 240,000 ($20 * 12,000)

Machine costs = $22 528,000 ($22 *24,000) 396,000 ($22 * 18,000)

Receiving = $44 132,000 ($44 * 3,000) 308,000 ($44 * 7,000)

Total overhead assigned $1,103,200 $1,105,600

Using activity-based rates to apply overhead:

Model A Model B

Direct materials $600,000 $800,000

Direct labor $480,000 $480,000

Overhead $1,103,200 $1,105,600

Total costs $2,183,200 $2,385,600

Units completed 16,000 8,000

Unit costs $136.45 $298.20

Suppose lawyers seek legislation to limit the use of computer software that enables people to use their personal computers to se

Harman [31]

Answer:

c. rent-seeking behavior

Explanation:

In economics, rent-seeking behavior can be described as a behavior or conduct that tries to increase the share of an economic agent or an entity from the existing wealth without adding or creating new wealth. This implies that the entity aims to obtain added wealth without creating a new one.

From the question, the aim of the lawyers is mainly to increase their own wealth in terms of legal fees they will collect from preparing wills, trusts, and other legal documents when they prepare them for people when a law restrict people from self-preparing it using their personal computers. In turn, the lawyers will only increase their share of wealth without adding any wealth.

Therefore, this is an example of rent-seeking behavior.

wage rate=marginal utility of leisure/marginal utility of money

wage rate=15/3

wage rate =$5

In other words, the correct option is C,wage rate is $5

Option D would have been correct if the requirement was to calculate marinal utility of leisure
