Answer: All of the other answer choices are true.

Explanation:

FIFO simply refers to “First-In, First-Out” and the method assumes that the oldest goods that are in the inventory of a company have been sold first and therefore, the costs that are paid for them will be used for the calculation.

The following are true regarding the FIFO method:

• FIFO under a perpetual inventory system results in the same cost of goods sold as FIFO under a periodic inventory system.

• A company can choose to account for the flow of inventory using the FIFO method even if this doesn’t match the actual flow of its inventory.

• Perishable goods often follow an actual physical flow that is consistent with the FIFO method assumptions.

Therefore, the correct option is D as all are true.

The PV of future cash flow is $22,925,764, therefore the company should take on the project

Explanation:

In order to know if the company should take on the project we have to calculate the PV of future cash flow as follows:

PV of future cash flow= D1

RE-g

To calculate this formula we requre to calculate the WACC and the discount rate as follows:

WACC=(1.00/1.80×0.11)+0+(0.80/1.80×0.046)

WACC=0.0611+0+0.02044

WACC=0.081556

WACC=8.16%

After having calculated the WACC we can calculate the project discount rate as follows:

project discount rate=WACC + Additional risk factor

=8.16%+3%

=11.16%

Therefore, PV of future cash flow= $2,100,000

0.1116-0.02

PV of future cash flow= $2,100,000

0.0916

PV of future cash flow=$22,925,764

The PV of future cash flow is $22,925,764, therefore the company should take on the project

ArbitrLikvidat [17]

Answer:

Sheridan Co.

a. It is not necessary to correct the prior year's depreciation. Depreciation is an accounting estimate and does not require the adjustment of prior year's accounts when there is a correction in its estimates.

b. Entry to record depreciation for 2021:

Debit Depreciation Expense $4,387

Credit Accumulated Depreciation $4,387

To record the depreciation expense for the year.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Purchase of machinery in 2016 = $64,200

Original estimated useful life = 8 years

Salvage value = $4,280

Depreciation amount = $59,920 ($64,200 - $4,280)

Depreciation expense per year = $7,490 ($59,920/8)

Accumulated depreciation for 5 years = $37,450

Net book value = $26,750 ($64,200 - $37,450)

Remaining estimated useful life = 5 years

Salvage value = $4,815

New depreciable amount = $21,935 ($26,750 - $4,815)

Depreciation expense per year = $4,387 ($21,935/5)
