California Adventures issues 5,000 shares of 8%, $100 par value preferred stock at the beginning of 2020. All remaining shares a

never [62]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Since the preferred stock is not cumulative only the current years' dividend is payable on these stocks.

Preferred stock dividend = (5000 * 100) * 0.08 = $40,000

Of the declared dividend of $100,000,

Preferred Dividend = $40,000

Ordinary share dividend = $60,000

If the shares were cumulative, the prior year dividends would also be payable form the declared dividends bringing the total preferred dividend to $80,000.

Hope that helps.

Why is the cost of goods sold account part of a trading business only? The cost of goods sold account is part of a trading busin

ELEN [110]

COGS is sometimes referred to as cost of sales and refers to the production costs for products manufactured and sold or purchased and re-sold by the company. These costs are an expense of the business, and they reduce the revenue the company makes from selling its products.

For example, say your business assembles a completed widget from various inventory parts and sells it online for $15. The parts of the widget and the direct labor required to assemble them cost $10.

The $10 cost is deducted from the widget's sale price to determine the gross profit it generates, and the taxes on that profit. The IRS allows you to include a variety of costs in this calculation.

Cost of goods sold is determined annually by showing changes in the company's balance of "goods" or inventory, from the beginning to the end of the company's fiscal (financial) year, and it is included in the company's income statement. The income statement information is included on the business tax return and used to calculate adjusted gross income as well as net income for tax purposes.

What's Included in Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes the direct cost of producing the product or the wholesale price of goods resold and the direct labor costs to produce the product. Specifically, it can include:

Cost of raw materials.

Cost of items purchased for resale.

Cost of parts used to construct a product.

COGS also includes other direct costs such as labor to produce the product, supplies used in manufacture or sale, shipping costs, costs of containers, freight in, and overhead costs directly related to the manufacture or production activity (like rent and utilities for the manufacturing facility).

Finally, COGS includes indirect costs such as distribution costs and sales force costs that are also directly related to the products the company sells.

Corris Co. accumulates the following data concerning a mixed cost, using miles as the activity level. Miles Driven Total Cost Ja

Sedbober [7]

Answer:

Variable cost per unit= $1.5

Fixed costs= $2,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Miles Driven Total Cost

January 10,000 $17,000

February 8,000 13,500

March 9,000 14,400

April 7,000 12,500

<u>To calculate the variable and fixed costs under the high-low method, we need to use the following formula:</u>

Variable cost per unit= (Highest activity cost - Lowest activity cost)/ (Highest activity units - Lowest activity units)

Variable cost per unit= (17,000 - 12,500) / (10,000 - 7,000)

Variable cost per unit= $1.5

Fixed costs= Highest activity cost - (Variable cost per unit * HAU)

Fixed costs= 17,000 - (1.5*10,000)

Fixed costs= $2,000

Fixed costs= LAC - (Variable cost per unit* LAU)

Fixed costs= 12,500 - (1.5*7,000)

Fixed costs= $2,000

Quadcopters plans to sell a standard quadcopter (toy drone) for $ 55 and a deluxe quadcopter for $ 85. Funtime purchases the st

Harman [31]

Answer:

For break-even, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 238

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 238 = 476

to earn $7,700, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 392

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 392 = 784

Explanation:

Given:

Selling cost of standard quadcopter = $55

Selling cost of deluxe quadcopter = $85

Purchasing cost of standard quadcopter = $45

Purchasing cost of deluxe quadcopter = $65

monthly fixed expenses = $ 11,900

Now,

let the number standard quadcopter sold be 'x'

thus, according to the question

the number deluxe quadcopter sold will be = 2x

also,

at break-even

total cost = total revenue

or

Total fixed cost + Total purchasing cost = Total revenue

or

$11,900 + ($45x + $65 × 2x) = $55x + $85 × 2x

or

$11,900 + $45x + $130x = $55x + $170x

or

$11,900 + $175x = $225x

or

$225x - $175x = $11,900

or

$50x = $11,900

or

x = 238

Hence,

For break-even, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 238

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 238 = 476

To earn $7,700

Earning = Total Revenue - Total cost

$7,700 = ( $55x + $85 × 2x ) - [$11,900 + ($45x + $65 × 2x)]

$7,700 = $225x - $11,900 - $175x

or

$7,700 + $11,900 = $50x

or

$50x = $19,600

or

x = 392

Therefore,

to earn $7,700, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 392

and, number of standard quadcopter sold should be 2 × 392 = 784
