Whistle Works sells each whistle for $12. It takes 3 ounces of metal to produce each whistle at a cost of $0.50 per ounce. They prefer to have 10% of materials required for the following month's production in ending inventory as well. How many ounces of direct materials does Whistle Works need to purchase in October to meet production needs?

A) 4,500 ounces

B) 13,575 ounces

C) 13,425 ounces

D) 4,525 ounces

Answer:

Purchases = 13575 ounces

Option B is the correct answer

Explanation:

To calculate the purchases of material for October, we first need to calculate the inventory needed to produce the desired number of units in October along with the desired ending inventory and adjust it for the available opening inventory at start of October.

Material available at Start - October = 10% * 4500 units * 3 ounces per unit  Material available at Start - October = 1350 ounces

Material required at end - October = 10% * 4750 units * 3 ounces per unit

Material required at end - October = 1425 ounces

Material required to produce required units in October = 4500 * 3 = 13500

Production  =  Opening Inventory  +  Purchases  -  Closing Inventory

13500  =  1350  +  Purchases  -  1425

13500 + 1425 - 1350  =  Purchases

Purchases = 13575 ounces

The stakeholders are ; Customers, shareholders/investors, local community, suppliers, employees, Government, competitors, creditors etc.

Explanation:

Stakeholders are a group of people or individuals within a locality, whose interest is Paramount to the survival of an organization.

There are two types of stakeholders, which are;

Internal stakeholders : These group of people or individuals are part of the organization . eg employees, board of directors, managers. Etc.

External stakeholders: These group of people or individuals are not part of the organization but have interest in its performance. Eg local community, media, consumers, suppliers etc.

There are also primary stakeholders and secondary stakeholders.

Primary stakeholders. I.e those who have financial interest in an organization. Eg creditors, shareholders/investors etc.

Secondary stakeholders. i.e those who do not have financial interest but whose decision is influential. Eg trade union, government body etc.

As in the scenario above, impact of shell on several stakeholders are enumerated below;

-Employees: There must be job security for employees, clean and safe working environment and there must be regular source of income with which salaries will be paid.

-Shareholders/Investors:They expect maximum returns on their investment in form of dividends. They also expected to be given preferential treatment in terms of lower prices and little or no value lost on their investment.

-Customer: They expect that products to be sold are reliable and safe for consumption and at fair prices.

-Suppliers: Price of product supplied should be agreed by parties involved. Suppliers also expect regular and frequent orders from them.

-local community: These people expect steady employment for their children, provision of social amenities like tarred roads, community hall, cinema hall etc and avoidance of noise and environmental pollution.

-Competitors: There should be healthy rivalry among producers of similar products and all element of demarketing should be avoided.

-Government ; Government expect from shell constant and regular payments of taxes, compliance with local laws and provision of corporate social responsibilities to the host community.

-Creditors: The creditors would expect adequate returns on their loan investment, absence of failure to payback money owned them and repayment of money owed to them at the agreed date.

You recently purchased a stock that is expected to earn 30 percent in a booming economy, 9 percent in a normal economy, and lose
sergiy2304 [10]
Took me a bit to understand what this is. I have no business sense at all.

Expected Rate of Return = 30%*5% + 9%*75% - 33% * (100 - 75 -5)%
Expected Rate of Return = 0.015 + 0.0675 - 33%*20%
Expected Rate of Return = 0.015 + 0.0675 - 0.066
Expected Rate of Return = 0.0165

This then is expressed as a %
0.0165 = 1.65 % Sounds like you are buying a US short term treasury.
If anyone else answers, take their answer.

madreJ [45]

Based on the fact that Forward Co. discarded a machine with cost $5,000, the entry to record this transaction in the books would include a credit to Machinery.

<h3>How do you dispose of fixed assets?</h3>

When fixed assets are to be disposed of, the accumulated depreciation upt to that point is looked at to calculate the net book value.

This would then show the company if they made a profit or a loss when they sold the fixed asset with a profit being made when the selling price is higher than the net book value.

Regardless of the price the fixed asset is sold at, the company would record a credit to the fixed asset (machinery) account to show that the fixed asset account is decreasing.

In conclusion, there will be a credit to machinery.
