Partial income statements for Sherwood Company summarized for a four-year period show the following:

                          2015             2016                  2017                  2018

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

COGS           <u>   1,496,000  </u>   <u>    1,742,00</u>      <u>  1,863,000</u>       <u>   2,176,000</u>

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.

Required: 1. Restate the partial income statements to reflect the correct amounts, after fixing the inventory error, 2-a. 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 explanation of the answer is now given as follows:

1. Restate the partial income statements to reflect the correct amounts, after fixing the inventory error

Note: See the attached excel file for the fixing the inventory error and the restated partial income statements to reflect the correct amounts, after fixing the inventory error.

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.

n an​ economy, the​ working-age population is 400 million. Of this​ total, 320.0 million workers are employed. 12.0 million work
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer: 83%

Explanation:

The Labour Force Participation Rate is a measure that checks the activeness of a nation's workforce.

It is calculated by dividing the segment of the population that are either working or ACTIVELY seeking employment by the total number of working age people in the economy that are not in prison.

It is assumed that unemployed people are Actively seeking employment.

In the above scenario therefore, the active population are,

= (320 million employed + 12 million unemployed )/400 million

The rest of the population are either unavailable for work or not actively seeking employment.

= 332/400

= 0.83

= 83%

The labor force participation rate in this economy is 83%
