Question:
The use of the lower of cost or net realizable value (LCNRV) method to value inventory for reporting purposes is a departure from the accounting principle of:
A) Historical cost.
B) Matching.
C) Going concern.
D) Conservatism.
Answer:
The Right answer is A) Historical Cost.
Explanation:
Inventories are recorded at their cost. If inventory declines in value below its original cost, a major departure from the historical cost principle occurs.
Whatever the reason for a decline-damage, physical deterioration, obsolesce, changes in price levels, or other causes, a company should write down the inventory to Lower-of-Cost or Net Realizable Value (LCNRV) to report this loss.
A company abandons the historical cost principle when the future utility (revenue-producing ability) of the asset drops below its original cost.
Net Realizable Value refers to the net amount that a company expects to realize from the sale of inventory. Specifically, net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business minus estimated costs to make a sale.
Example
Inventory Value - Unfinished $2,000
Less: Estimated Cost of Completion $ 50
Estimated Cost to sell <u>200</u> <u> 250</u>
<u>Net Realizable Value 750</u>

Answer:
The correct answer is that Gloria would have to invest $75,581 today at the rate of 7.25 % to receive $100000 in four years,hence option is correct
Explanation:
FV=PV(1+r)^t
FV=$100000
PV= is unknown
r=7.25%
t=4years
PV=FV/(1+r)^t
PV=100000/(1+0.0725)^4
=$75581
Hence the amount Gloria has to invest today is $75581
Using the Gordon Growth Model (a.k.a. Dividend Discount Model), the intrinsic value of a stock can be calculated, exclusive of current market conditions. In this model, the value of the stock is equated to the present value of the stock's future dividends.
<span>Value of stock (P0) = D1 / (k - g)
</span>where
D1<span> = </span><span>expected annual </span>dividend<span> per share in the following year </span>
<span>k = the investor's discount rate or required </span>rate of return
g = the expected dividend growth rate
<u>From the problem:</u>
The value of stock is $10.80
D1 is $0.40
g is 0.08
k is unknown
Solution:
Rearranging the equation for Gordon Growth Model to solve for k:
k = (D1/P0) + g
Substituting the variables with the given values,
k = (0.40/10.80) + 0.08
k = 0.1170
In percent form, this is
0.1170 * 100% = 11.70%.
Thus, the total rate of return on the stock is 11.70%.
Answer:
Income will increase by $84.
Explanation:
<u>The break-even point is the number of units required to cover the fixed costs. Net income is zero.</u>
First, we need to calculate the unitary variable cost:
Unitary variable cost= 120*0.3= $36
<u>Now, the unitary contribution margin:</u>
unitary contribution margin= 120 - 36
unitary contribution margin= $84
Income will increase by $84.
