In 2005, Cobb adopted the dollar-value LIFO inventory method. At that time, Cobb's ending inventory had a base-year cost and an

kherson [118]

Answer:

$410,000

Explanation:

The computation of the ending inventory under the LIFO method is shown below:

= Year end cost + difference of amount × price level index

where,

Year end cost = Beginning cost

Difference of amount = $400,000 - $300,000 = $100,000

Price level index = $440,000 ÷ $400,000 = 1.1

So, the inventory cost is

= $300,000 + $100,000 × 1.1

= $300,000 + $110,000

= $410,000

Maple Industries has 7 percent bonds outstanding that mature in thirteen years. The bonds pay interest semiannually and have a f

levacccp [35]

Answer:

A. 6.75%

Explanation:

In this question, we use the Rate formula which is shown in the spreadsheet.

The NPER represents the time period.

Given that,

Present value = $1,021.16

Future value or Face value = $1,000

PMT = 1,000 × 7% ÷ 2 = $35

NPER = 13 years × 2 = 26 years

The formula is shown below:

= Rate(NPER,PMT,-PV,FV,type)

The present value come in negative

So, after solving this, the pretax cost of debt is 6.75% (3.38% × 2)

At the beginning of Year 1, Trey Inc., purchased a machine with a total acquisition cost of $33,000. The machine has an estimate

soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

$8,000

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

cost of machine = $33,000

Estimated residual value = $3,000

Estimated useful life = 3 years

Estimated useful life in terms of production = 60,000 units

Total units produced in year 1 = 16,000

Now,

Rate of annual depreciation with respect to units produced

= [ Cost - Salvage value ] ÷ Estimated useful life in terms of production

= [ $33,000 - $3,000 ] ÷ 60,000

= $0.5 per unit

Therefore,

Depreciation expense for the year 1

= Rate of annual depreciation × Total units produced in year 1

= $0.5 per unit × 16,000 units.

= $8,000

Bros Co. expects its EBIT to be $100,000 every year forever. The firm can borrow at 11 percent. Bruce currently has no debt, and

Liula [17]

Answer:

WACC=17.15%

Explanation;

MV of equity=EBIT8(1-t)/Ke

MV of equity=100,000*(1-.31)/.18=$383,333

Total value of the firm=Market value of equity+present value of tax savings on interest

Total value of the firm based on EBIT= $383,333+.31*61,000

Total Value of the firm=$402,243

Keg=Keu+(Keu-Kd)*D/E*(1-t)

where Keu= cost of equity of un-geared company=18%

Keg=cost of equity of geared company=?

Kd=cost of debt=11%

Keg=.18+(.18-11)*61,000/(402,243-61,000)*.69

Keg=.18+.0086

Keg=18.86%

NoW revised WACC will be

WACC=Keg*MV of equity+Kd(1-t)*cost of debt/(total value of firm)

WACC=.1886*(402,243-61,000)+.11(1-.31)*61,000/(402,243)

WACC=17.15%

Which statement concerning lower-of-cost-or-net-realizable-value (LCNRV) is incorrect? LCNRV is an example of a company choosing

liberstina [14]

Answer:

The LCNRV basis is justified because of a decline in the selling price of the inventory item

Explanation:

The accounting standard for Inventory under IFRS IAS 2 requires that inventory be recognized at cost which includes all the cost incurred to bring the item of inventory to a state or place where the item of inventory becomes available for sale.

These costs includes cost of purchase, freight, Insurance cost during transit etc.

Subsequently, inventory is to be carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value.

This is justified where there is a decline in the selling price of inventory as it ensures that the amount stated in the books is fairly representative of the amount that may be realized from the sale of the inventory items.
