Answer:

<h2>Dunne Co.</h2>

1. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the first-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:

a) Inventory, June 30  = $32,864 (26 x $1,264)

b) Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory = $310,776 ($343,640 - $32,864)

2. Determine the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the last-in, first-out method and the periodic inventory system:

a) Inventory, June 30 =  $31,240

Beginning Inventory 25 units at $1,200 = $30,000

Purchase on April 8, 1 unit at $1,240               1,240

Total Ending Inventory                                $31,240

b)Cost of goods sold = Cost of goods available for sale - Ending Inventory

= $311,400 ($343,640 - $32,240)

3. Determination of the inventory on June 30 and the cost of goods sold for the three-month period, using the weighted average cost method and the periodic inventory system. Note: Round the weighted average unit cost to the nearest dollar and final answers to the nearest dollar:

a) Inventory, June 30 = $32,500 (26 x $1,250)

b) Cost of goods sold = $311,250 (249 x $1,250)  

4. Comparison of the Gross Profit and June 30 inventories using the following column headings:

                                         FIFO                  LIFO         Weighted Average

Sales                            $525,250         $525,250         $525,250

Cost of goods sold        -310,776            -311,400              -311,150

Gross profit                  $214,474           $213,850           $214,100

Inventory, June 30       $32,864             $31,240            $32,489.60

Explanation:

a) Data on Purchase and Sale Transactions with the Quarter:

Date     Transaction     Number of Units    Per Unit             Total

June 5 Sale                               40           2,250                          90,000

       16 Sale                               25           2,250                          56,250

       21 Purchase         35                         1,264           44,240

      28 Sale                               44           2,250                          99,000

b) Goods Available   275                                         $343,640

Cost of goods sold   249                                   See calculations

Sales                                       249                                          $525,250

Ending Inventory        26          See Calculations

c) Average cost of goods = Cost of goods available for sale/Quantity of goods available for sale = $343,640/275 = $1,249.60

d) Under the periodic inventory system:

1) FIFO assumes that the goods bought first are sold first.

2) LIFO assumes that the goods bought last are sold first

3) Weighted Average takes for granted that the cost of goods available for sale and inventory can be determined with the weighted average.  

Using the period inventory system, it is when physical count is taken of inventory that one can estimate its value.  Unlike the perpetual inventory system, the periodic inventory system waits till a financial period ends to value stock.  The results for ending inventory under the weighted average method, using the perpetual inventory system differs from the results under the same method, using the periodic inventory system.

An economy is experiencing a recessionary gap. The government can​ ______.
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

Increase expenditure or cut taxes to increase aggregate demand.

Explanation:

A recessionary gap is a macroeconomic term which portrays an economy working at a level underneath its full-employment equilibrium. Under a recessionary gap condition, the degree of real gross domestic product (GDP) is lower than the degree of full employment, which puts descending pressure on prices over the long haul.

Consider two stocks, A and B. Stock A has an expected return of 10% and a beta of 1.2. Stock B has an expected return of 14% and
barxatty [35]

Answer:

B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%

Explanation:

Here are the options :

A; it offers an expected excess return of .2%A; it offers an expected excess return of 2.2%B; it offers an expected excess return of 1.8%B; it offers an expected return of 2.4%

to determine which stock is the better buy, we have to calculate the expected return of the stocks using CAPM

According to the capital asset price model: Expected rate of return = risk free + beta x (market rate of return - risk free rate of return)

Stock A = 5% + 1.2(9% - 5%) = 9.8%

Stock B = 5% + 1.8(9% - 5%) = 12.20%

The next step is to determine the excess return

stated expected return - calculated expected return = excess return

Stock A's excess return = 10% - 9.8% - 0.2%

Stock B's excess return = 14 - 12.20 = 1.8%

Security B would be considered because it has a higher excess return

krek1111 [17]

Answer: Therefore, we should make her an offer at that salary

Explanation:

Based on the information given in the question,

Lowest salary = $60,000

Highest salary = $110,000

Expected Benefit = 5% × ($110,000 - $60,000) = 5% × $50,000 = $2500

The cost of conducting another interview will be:

= cost of time + cost of travel

= $750 + $4250

= $5000

Since the cost of conducting the additional interview is more than the expected benefit, therefore the interviewee should be hired rather than continuing the interviewing process.

Therefore, we should make her an offer at that salary.
