the same as absorption costing.

$7,680 greater than under absorption costing.

Answer:

The Southern Corporation

The carrying value on the balance sheet of the ending inventory of finished goods under variable costing would be:

$6,600 less than under absorption costing.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Variable costs per unit:

Production $ 35

Selling and administrative $ 14

Fixed costs per year:

Production $ 175,560

Selling and administrative $ 140,450

Production units last year = 7,980 units

Sales units last year = 7,680 units

Ending inventory = 300 (7,980 - 7,680) units

Value of Ending inventory:

1. Variable Costing:

Production $ 35 * 300 = $10,500

2. Absorption Costing:

Variable Production $ 35 * 7,980 = $279,300

Fixed Production overhead             $ 175,560

Total production costs =                  $454,860

Units produced = 7,980

Unit cost = $57

Ending inventory = $17,100 ($57 * 300)

Difference = $6,600 ($17,100 - $10,500)

Free Spirit Industries Inc.’s current ratio is 1.3333, and tis quick ratio is 0.7467; Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s current ratio is 1.
ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

1. Jong Foodstuffs Inc. has a better ability to meet its short-term liabilities that Free Spirit. - TRUE

2. A current ratio of 1 indicates that the book value of the company’s current assets is equal to the book value of its current liabilities. - TRUE

3. If a company has a quick ratio of less than 1 but a current ratio of more than 1 and if the difference between the two ratios is large, then the company depends heavily on the sale of its inventory to meet its short-term obligations. - TRUE

4. Compared to Free Spirit, Jong Foodstuffs has less liquidity and a lower reliance on outside cash flow to finance its short-term obligations. FALSE

5. An increase in the current ratio over time always means that the company’s liquidity position is improving. FALSE

Explanation:

Current Ratio = Current Asset / Current Liabilities

Quick Ratio = (Current Assets – Inventories) / Current Liabilities

The Current Ratio is a liquidity measure that shows the ratio between current asset and current liabilities. It tells how many dollars of the current asset are per dollar of current debts, that gives an idea of the company`s ability to perform its debts.    

The Quick Ratio is also a liquidity indicator, but using its most liquid assets, to pay its current liabilities at maturity. The inventory, although it is a current asset, is not considered, since it cannot be converted into cash in a very short term.

The difference between the Quick Ratio and the Current Ratio, implies that while both are measures of the company's ability to pay its debts, the quick ratio also tells how much the company depends on its inventory to get that objective.

As both ratios are bigger in Jong Foodstuffs Inc.’s case, statement 1 is True and statement 4 is False. Because how ratios are calculated, and the meaning of its terms, statement 2 and 3 are True. And because an increased in current ratio, may implicate a rise in inventory, and therefore a decreased in quick ratio, statement 4 is False.

When does one country have an absolute advantage over another country?
Rashid [163]
A country with an absolute advantage over another country achieves this if their production costs are lower.

Absolute advantage means a company or individual out perform another more efficiently. In this case, if two companies are making a product and one selling them for the same price, but one company can make the product for cheaper, they have an absolute advantage.
