R. J. Graziano Wholesale Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory costing. In the current year, profit at R. J. Graziano is runni
Nata [24]

Answer:

a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?

The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.

Since the company uses the LIFO (last in, first out) inventory method, all it will do is increase the value of ending inventory which changes into beginning inventory next year. You can reduce next year's income more by purchasing the goods next year.

b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?

If the company used the FIFO method, the result will be the same. Inventory is not COGS, whether you use FIFO, LIFO weighted average, specific identification, or any other acronym that you might come up with. At beginning of the year, inventory must be average to determine beginning inventory. it might help to increase COGS a little, therefore, decreasing net income, but the effects shouldn't be significant.

c. Should the plant accountant order the inventory purchase to lower income? What are the ethical implications of this order?

It is useless, and he should know it. The only implication is that this will help him realize his low IQ.

Ilya [14]

Answer:

a. $337,000

Explanation:

Calculation to determine How much cash was provided by operating activities

Using this formula

Cash provided by Operating activities=Net income+Depreciation+Account receivable+Inventories decreased -Prepaid expenses+Accounts payable increased

Let plug in the formula

Cash provided by Operating activities=$240,000 + $50,000 + $10,000 + $30,000 - $1,000 + $8,000

Cash provided by Operating activities=$337,000

Therefore the cash provided by operating activities was $337,000

The numerator of the return on common stockholders' equity is_____________. a.income before income tax b.operating income minus
elena-s [515]

The numerator of the return on common stockholders' equity is net income minus preferred dividends.

Option d

<u>Explanation:</u>

Return on common stockholders' equity which is also named as return on equity (ROE) ratio evaluates the accomplishment of a company in resulting income for the benefit of common stakeholders.

<em>Use of return on equity:</em>

  • Isolates common equity returns
  • Can be used to evaluate dividends
  • Evaluates the use of capital by the management

It is calculated by income available for stockholders divided by the total number of common stock and is expressed or represented in percentage. Income available for common stockholders can be arrived by reducing preference dividends from Net income.

That is, \text { Net income }-\text { Preference dividends }=\text { Equity available for common stockholder }

Hence, net income minus preferred dividends is the right answer.

When Tesla first launched their electric vehicles in the United States, they deviated from the norm in the automobile industry a
Damm [24]

Answer:

The choice of Tesla is known as Forward Integration.

According to the principles of Transaction Cost Economics, this is a good decision.

Explanation:

Companies sometimes take over the operations/businesses that deal with the distribution and supply of their products and or services. This move is known as forward integration.

Traditionally, companies focus on production then bring in middle-men such as Franchise owners, wholesales, dealers, and retailers to distribute their merhandise to the end user. Whilst there are associated benefits with this model, it's been found that the interests of the middle men also generate considerable costs.

In order to competitive advantage, companies are modifying their business models such that end users can deal directly with them thus reducing the final price of their goods and or services making them more accessible and easier to purchase for the consumers.

Transaction Cost Economics refers to the various ways in which an organisation can be set up in order to manage or control the costs associated with its transactions. The goal of transaction cost economics is to reduce overall costs in order to optimize profits, stay competitive and maintain growth by managing and modifying organisational structures and business models.

The most optimized organisational structure/business model is that which is able to attain the highest efficiency possible by operating at the lowest cost possible.

Good or Bad Decision

The market for motor vehicles is an oligopoly.

Therefore, price is an important factor to consider. As a more recent entrant into that space, this is very crucial for Tesla.

Tesla is not only entering into a market dominated by giants, but is also tryin to modify the way people know to drive cars (at least in most parts of the world). Therefore, it is a great move that it is going with a Price Penetration Strategy. Thus by cutting off the Franchise-Oriented dealerships and selling directly, Tesla is able to retain control over the price of it's vehicles.

The whole essence of reducing it's costs is so that it is able to make its products available to the consumers as an alternative to fossile fuel powered vehicles at the lowest cost possible. Despite it's best efforts, there are still petrol powered cars that are at least $10,000 cheaper that what Tesla is offering.

Besides price, one major factor that influences the choice to go with hybrid or 100% of electric cars is that they are clean and very environmental friendly.

Cheers!
