                          2015             2016                  2017                  2018

Net Sales     $2,200,000   $2,600,000    $2,700,000      $3,200,000

Gross Profit  <u>   $704,000  </u>    <u> $858,000  </u>   <u>  $837,000   </u>    <u> $1,024,000 </u>

An audit revealed that in determining these amounts, the ending inventory for 2016 was overstated by $22.000. The inventory balance on December 31, 2017, was accurately stated. The company uses a periodic inventory system.

Compute the gross profit percentage for each year (a) before the correction and (b) after the correction 2-b. Does the pattern of gross profit percentages lend confidence to your corrected amounts?

The effect of the overstatement of closing inventory is reducing the 2016 cost of goods sold. To correct this in the attached excel file, the opening balance is reduced by $22,000 and this makes cost of goods sold of 2016 to increase and the cost of goods sold of 2017 to decrease by $22,000.

2-a. Compute the gross profit percentage for each year (a) before the correction and (b) after the correction

Note: See the attached excel file for the computed the gross profit percentage for each year (a) before the correction and (b) after the correction.

In the attached excel file, the following formula is used:

Gross Profit percentage = Gross profit / Net Sales) * 100

2-b. Does the pattern of gross profit percentages lend confidence to your corrected amounts?

Yes. This is because the gross profit percentage for the years are approximately the same at 32% after the correction was made.

You lend a friend ​$​, which your friend will repay in equal annual​ end-of-year payments of ​$​, with the first payment to be r
Vadim26 [7]

Answer: 18%

Explanation:

The payments that your friend will make are an annuity as they are constant. This means that the loan amount of $15,000 is the present value of the annuity.

To find the rate of return, use the factor tables.

Present value of annuity = Annuity * Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?%

15,000 = 3,000 * Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?%

Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?% = 15,000 / 3,000

Present value interest factor of annuity, 14 years, ?% = 5.0

Go to the present value of annuity factor table and find out what interest rate intersects with 14 periods such that the factor is 5.0.

That rate is 18%.

Rate of return is therefore 18%.

Chapman Machine Shop is considering a 4-year project to improve its production efficiency. Buying a new machine press for $576,0
DIA [1.3K]

Answer:

The Firm should not Buy and Install the press as it delivers a negative NPV of -$24,924 at 11% discount rate over its 4 year operations

Explanation:

The General rule is to appraise the investment based on various appraisal techniques.

A technique that should be considered must have special focus on the time value of money, the required rate of returns expected by the firm and other Cashflow considerations.

The Net Present Value (NPV) approach will be the best method to proceed with.

The NPV approach typically falls under the following decision tree:

a. If NPV is negative (Reject the proposal)

b. If NPV is positive (Accept if it's a singular project, Accept the highest positive NPV if it's for mutually exclusive Projects)

c. If Zero (this is the breakeven line at which the Project covers all its cost but does not return a profit.) Also referred to as the IRR

Office supplies $2,850

Office equipment $17,530

Land $45,940

Total assets $91,770

Liabilities and stockholders' equity:

Accounts payable $8,110

Common Stock $83,540

Retained earnings $120

Total liabilities and stockholders' equity $91,770

Explanation:

I ordered the accounts and included a couple that were missing:

  • Cash 12,650
  • Accounts receivable 12,800
  • Consulting revenue 12,800
  • office supplies 2,850
  • Land 45,940
  • office equipment 17,530

  • Cash dividends 1,570  
  • Common Stock 83,540
  • Rent expense 3,110
  • Salaries expense 6,490
  • Telephone expense 850
  • Miscellaneous expenses 660

First we need to determine net profit for the month:

Consulting revenue 12,800

Salaries expense -6,490

Rent expense -3,110

Telephone expense -850

Miscellaneous expenses -660

net profit = $1,690

retained earnings = net profit - dividends distributed = $1,690 - $1,570 = $120

ankoles [38]

Answer:

1) B) I'll be sharing some special sales tips with you tomorrow that will make your job easier.

2) B) Your goal for this month is to sell 10% more lattes, and you will receive a reward if you reach it.

3) C) Two days off with pay

Explanation:

1) The <em>E->P expectancy</em> is related to the concept of investing effort into something that you know will lead to the desired performance. It is the part of the expectancy theory that is not related to rewards.

In this example. the goal (task) is to increase sales. The E->P expectancy is the probability that Ethan's efforts will result in the desired performance (increased sales). By giving sales tips to Ethan, he will get more self-esteem and know-how and believe that his effort will in fact result in the desired outcome.

Although this is an overlooked part of the expectancy theory sometimes, it is crucial. Despite the appeal of a particular reward, an employee may not get increased motivation if he/she thinks that the task itself cannot be completed.

2) The <em>P->O expectancy</em> is related to rewards, and it states that employees will get motivated if the desired performance will result in a reward. In this case, Emma's putting the goal (10% increased sales) in direct relation with a reward.

3) Since the Motivation Report states that Ethan is motivated by time off, two days off with pay is the most appealing reward for him. The money bonus is more appropriate for Jon, while a choice of work assignments is better for Blair.
