Answer:

Alternative of cleaning and shipping is better as loss value is less.

Relevant cost of this alternative is $23,000 incurred for cleaning and shipping.

Explanation:

Evaluating both the proposals

In case the goods are sold as it is then net cost/ loss = Carrying value of inventory - Sales Revenue

= $125,000 - $45,000 = $80,000

In case the goods are cleaned and shipped then

Total cost = $125,000 + $23,000 = $148,000

Revenue = $80,000

Net loss/ cost = $148,000 - $80,000 = $68,000

Thus Since the loss value is less i alternative 2 that is of cleaning and shipping, it shall be chosen.

The relevant cost of that alternative is $23,000 incurred in cleaning and shipping.

$25,375

The After-Closing Trial Balance is prepared once the closing entries are posted. This results in closing of expense and income accounts for the year and the resulting balance taken forward to retained earnings. This means that After-Closing Trial Balance would contain only permanent general accounts which are balance sheet items. In the given scenario, the balance sheet debit balances are as under:

Cash                                                $7,750

Accounts Receivable                     $6,375

Office Equipment                           <u>$11,250 </u>

Total Debit Balance                      <u>$25,375</u>

Hence the option A is correct.

Western Country Corporation made sales of $ 850 million during 2018. Of this​ amount, Western Country collected cash for $ 710 m
trapecia [35]

Answer:

We have to find Western Country Corporation's net income, and cash balance at the end of 2018.

The answers are:

Net Income = $200 million

Ending cash balance = $100 million

Explanation:

Net income is equal to sales revenue - cost of goods sold - other expenses

Net Income = $850 million - $255 million - 425 million

                   = $200 million

Ending cash balance is equal to beginning cash + cash receipts (inflows) - cash payments (outflows)

Ending cash balance = $85 million + $710 million - $400 million - $285 million

                                   = $110 million

= $215,500 - $44,100 - $15,100

The other items would not be adjusted because the other items are not included in the ending inventory so they are not being considered in the computation part.
