Explanation:

Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:

June 1 129 units at $890

June 10 172 units at $1340

June 15 172 units at $1440

June 28 129 units at $ 1140

and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.

In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:

Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200

Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200

Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change

Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units

=$1229.29

and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429

so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.

The correct option is - c. the average cost method.

Depreciation expense - Buildings Debit $ 578,200

Allowance for depreciation - Equipment Credit $ 4,985,000

Allowance for depreciation - Buildings Credit $ 578,200

Explanation:

Computation for Depreciation expense for the year

Equipment Jan 01 2020 $ 48,670,000 for 4 months @ 10 %

Sales - May 01 2020 $( 840,000)

Adjusted balance May 01 2020 $ 47,830,000 for 2 months @ 10 %

Purchases July 01 2020 $ 2,480,000

Adjusted balance July 01 2020 $ 50,310,000 for 6 months @ 10 %

Depreciation expense for 4 months = $ 48,670,000*10 % *4/12 = $1,622,333

Depreciation expense for 2 months = $ 47,830,000*10 % *2/12 = $ 797,167

Depreciation expense for 6 months = $ 51,310,000*10 % *6/12 =$ 2,565,500

Total depreciation equipment $ 4,985,000

Depreciation on buildings $ 28,910,000 * 2 % $ 578,200

Depreciation has to be recorded for full year on assets retired on December 31 2020

Computation of gain and loss on sale of equipment

Cost of equipment purchased on January 1 2016 $ 840,000

Depreciation rate 10 %

Equipment sold on May 01 2020

Depreciation charged for 4 years and 3 months @ 10 %

$ 840,000 * 4.33 *10 % $ 363,720

Net book value of equipment disposed on May 01 2020 $ 476,280

Sale value of equipment $ 504,000

Gain on sale of equipment $ (27,720 )

The gain on sale of land is the difference between the cost and sales proceeds since land is not depreciated

Sale proceeds - Cost = $ 1,450,000 - $ 399,000 = $ 1,051,000

The assets that was retired on Dec 31 2020 was purchased on December 31 2010 and was considered for depreciation for 10 years and was fully depreciated and had ni book value on the date of retirement

A 28-year-old single investor has funds saved at a bank. He contacts an RR and wants to begin allocating funds to a retirement a

Contact [7]

Answer: a. 80% stocks, 20% bonds

Explanation:

Stocks are a better fit for young people for 2 reasons;

1. Younger people are usually more risk tolerant. This means that they can pick financial vehicles that are more reflective of this risk taking mentality such as Stocks.

2. As they are far from retirement, their main goal should be saving for retirement. Stocks offer a better chance as Capital Appreciation so that their investments will grow before they retire leaving them in a better position when they do.

Fixed income is more for the older generation so that they may be sure of stable income while they are in retirement.

At the same time, every portfolio should be diversified to avoid risk so 20% going to bonds is ideal.

b. 336,000

c. 129,000

d. 144,000

The explanation to the answer is now provided as follows:

Since sales revenue per unit increases to $21, we use it as the selling price and proceed as follows:

Computation of Operating Income

Particular Amount ($)

Sales revenue (16,000 * $21) 336,000

Variable cost (16,000 * $12) (195,000)

Contribution 144,000

Fixed cost (15,000)

Operating income  129,000 

Therefore, the correct option is c. 129,000. That is, operatin income is $129,000.
