Answer:

c. shortsightedness effect

Explanation:

Based on the information provided within the question it can be said that in economics this description refers to the Shortsightedness effect. This is an effect that implies that politicians tend to prefer projects that allow them to generate higher benefits but in a shorter time frame, as opposed to longer time-frames. Even though those program's total costs may exceed the overall benefit in the long run.

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

1. Ending inventory = $2,408; Cost of goods sold = $16,837; Sales revenue = $22,770; and Gross profit = $5,933.

2. Ending inventory = $2,094; Cost of goods sold = $17,151; Sales revenue = $22,770; and Gross profit = $5,619.

3. Ending inventory = $2,293; Cost of goods sold = $16,952; Sales revenue = $22,770; and Gross profit = $5,818.

Explanation:

Note: This question is not complete. The complete question is therefore presented before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete question.

Explanation to the answer is now presented as follows:

1. Using FIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.

Note: See part 1 of the attached excel for the calculation of calculation of Cost of goods available for sale, Cost of goods sold, and Ending inventory using FIFO.

First In, First Out (FIFO) refers to an inventory accounting method in which inventory items purchased first are sold first, while the one that are purchased last are sold last.

In the attached excel file, since the inventory purchased on Oct. 6 is purchased last, the number of unit of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 sold is calculated by deducting the sum of the beginning inventory and inventory purchased before Oct. 6 from the total inventory sold as follows:

Number of unit of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 that are sold = Number of units sold - (Beginning inventory + Apr. 7 Purchases + Jul. 16 Purchases) = 414 - (45 + 125 + 195) = 49

Therefore, the number of ending inventory is obtained as follows:

Number of unit of ending inventory = Number of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 - Number of inventory purchased on Oct. 6 sold = 105 – 49 = 56

Sales revenue = Number of unit units of inventory sold for the entire year * Selling price per unit = 414 * $55 = $22,770

From the attached excel file, we have:

Cost of goods sold = $16,837

Ending inventory = $2,408

Therefore, we have:

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = $22,770 - $16,837 = $5,933

2. Using LIFO, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit.

Note: See part 2 of the attached excel for the calculation of calculation of Cost of goods available for sale, Cost of goods sold, and Ending inventory using LIFO.

Last In, First Out (LIFO) refers to an inventory accounting method in which inventory items purchased last are sold first, while the one that are purchased first are sold last.

In the attached excel file, the number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are sold and the ones remaining that are NOT sold that forms part of ending inventory are calculated as follows:

Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are sold = 414 – (195 + 105) = 114

Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are NOT sold = Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 - Number of unit of inventory purchased on April 7 that are sold = 125 – 114 = 11

Sales revenue = Number of unit units of inventory sold for the entire year * Selling price per unit = 414 * $55 = $22,770

From the attached excel file, we have:

Cost of goods sold = $17,151

Ending inventory = $2,094

Therefore, we have:

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = $22,770 - $17,151 = $5,619

3. Using weighted average cost, calculate ending inventory, cost of goods sold, sales revenue, and gross profit. (Round "Average Cost per unit" to 4 decimal places and all other answers to the nearest whole number.)

Note: See part 3 of the attached excel for the calculation of calculation of Cost of goods available for sale, Cost of goods sold, and Ending inventory using weighted average cost.

Weighted average cost method refers to a method of costing inventory in which the total cost of the goods available for sale is divided by the total number of units available for sales in order to obtain weighted average cost per unit.

In the attached excel file, weighted average cost per unit is therefore calculated and rounded to 4 decimal places as follows:

Weighted average cost per unit = $19,245 / 470 = $40.9468

Number of unit of ending inventory = Total number of units available for sales – Number of unit sold = 470 – 414 = 56

Sales revenue = Number of unit units of inventory sold for the entire year * Selling price per unit = 414 * $55 = $22,770

From the attached excel file, we have:

Cost of goods sold = $16,952

Ending inventory = $2,293

Therefore, we have:

Gross profit = Sales revenue - Cost of goods sold = $22,770 - $16,952 = $5,818

Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

$6,240.

Explanation:

                                     Reconciliation Statement

Bank balance before reconciliation                                $4,590

Add: Deposits in transit                                                      2,600

Less: Outstanding Checks                                                  (950)

Reconciled Bank Balance at April 30, 2019                $6,240

Cash balance before reconciliation                               $6,320

Add: Interest Revenue                                                           60

Less: Bank service charges                                                (140)

Reconciled Cash Balance at April 30, 2019               $6,240

<u>Notes</u>

- Deposit in transit and Outstanding checks are already recorded in company's books but not yet recorded with the bank because these checks might have reached bank after working hours. So, we have to update the bank's record.

- We have to update the cash balance with the information that is with the bank and has been provided to us at the period end. This include the interest revenue, already updated in the bank balance, and bank service charges.

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

A.$130

B. $13,130

Explanation:

Loan taken at the beginning of april in order to maintain cash balance of $40,000 = $40,000 - $27,200 = $12,800 = $13,000 (Increment of $1,000)

Interest payment estimated for april = $13,000*12%*1/12 = $130

Solution b:

Cash balance at the end of april = $27,200 + $13,000 - $130 = $40,070

Cash balance at the end of may before financing effect = Cash balance at the beginning + Excess of cash collected over cash payments

= $40,070 + $31,200 = $71,270

Total financin effect for may = Loan repayment + Interest repayment = $13,000 + $13,000*12%*1/12 = $13,130

exis [7]

Answer:

15.54 %

Explanation:

The Internal Rate of Return (IRR) is the Interest rate that will make the present value of Cash Flows equal to the price or initial investment.

Step 1

First determine the summary of Cash Flow of the project.

The Projects` cash flows are as follows :

Year 0 = $1,920,000

Year 1 = $580,127.00

Year 2 = $580,127.00

Year 3 = $580,127.00

Year 4 = $580,127.00

Year 5 = $580,127.00

Step 2

Calculate the IRR.

From this point i will use a Financial Calculator. The Function to use is the CFj for uneven Cash Flows.

($1,920,000)            CFj

$580,127.00            CFj

$580,127.00            CFj

$580,127.00            CFj

$580,127.00            CFj

$580,127.00            CFj

Shift IRR/YR      15.5415 or 15.54 %

Conclusion :

The internal rate of return for the J-Mix 2000 is 15.54 %
