Answer:

Part a

historical cost = this is when we carry assets and liabilities at cost less accumulated depreciation or amortization.

fair value = this is when we carry assets and liabilities at amount that they could be exchanged for at arms length between market participants

Part b

<u>Historical Cost </u>

Merits : Value are easy to obtain since they are generated internally

Demerits : Is not very accurate.

<u>Fair Value</u>

Merits : Accurate method as it reflects market situation

Demerit : Costly as data and information is obtained externally

Part c

Liabilities : Bonds

"Problem 20-01A a-b, c Carla Vista Sports Inc. manufactures basketballs for the Women’s National Basketball Association (WNBA).
Natali [406]

Answer:

Effect on income= $26,700

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Producing 118,600 units. Amount Sales $4,506,800 Cost of goods sold 3,475,506 Selling and administrative expenses 498,060 Net income $533,234 Fixed costs for the period were cost of goods sold $960,000, and selling and administrative expenses $249,000. In July, normally a slack manufacturing month, Carla Vista Sports receives a special order for 10,000 basketballs at $28 each from the Greek Basketball Association (GBA). Acceptance of the order would increase variable selling and administrative expenses $0.73 per unit because of shipping costs but would not increase fixed costs and expenses.

Unitary variable  cost= (3,475,506 - 960,000)/118,600= $21.2

Unitary variable selling and administrative= (533,234 - 249,000)/118,600= 2.40

New offer:

10,000 units for $28

Total unitary variable cost= (21.2 + 2.4 + 0.73)= $24.33

Effect on income= 10,000*(28 - 24.33)= $26,700

nirvana33 [79]

Answer: a. Boot camp is the military's version of employee orientation.

Explanation:

To become an employee in a company, it is standard practice for the employer to give the employee an orientation so that they may be able to perform better at their jobs because they would know what is expected of them and how to go about achieving this.

This is the same for the military. When they send recruits to boot camps, they are doing their version of employee orientation because the recruit will learn what Uncle Sam expects from them and how they are to accomplish these tasks.
