Answer:

Particulars                Jan                  Feb                Mar

Purchase               $160,000       $200,000       $252,000

Explanation:

For computing the required purchase from Jan to Mar we need to find out the following amounts

Particulars                Jan                  Feb                Mar                  Apr

Projected sales    $380,000     $460,000        $620,000        $660,000

COGS  at 40%      $152,000      $184,000         $248,000        $264,000

Ending inventory   $46,000      $62,000          $66,000

Beg inventory        $38,000      $46,000           $62,000

Now the required purchased for each month is

Particulars                Jan                  Feb                Mar

COGS                    $152,000        $184,000        $248,000

Add: ending inve  $46,000         $62,000         $66,000

Less: Beg inve      ($38,000)       ($46,000)       ($62,000)

Purchase               $160,000       $200,000       $252,000

Here,

COGS = Cost of goods sold

Since the desired ending inventory is 25 percent of the following month’s cost of goods sold so beginning inventory would be 25 percent in current year cost of goods sold

Whitepunk [10]

The Double Entry to Record the Expired Resource (Insurance) is:

Insurance Expense (Dr.)                   $1,500

On January 1, 2012, Albert invested $6,000 at 8 percent interest per year for three years. The CPI (times 100) on January 1, 201
qaws [65]

Answer:

Inflation in 2012:

=\frac{CPI\ 2013 - CPI\ 2012}{CPI\ 2012}

=\frac{110 - 100}{100}

= 10%

Inflation in 2013:

=\frac{CPI\ 2014 - CPI\ 2013}{CPI\ 2013}

=\frac{120 - 110}{110}

= 9.09%

Inflation in 2014:

=\frac{CPI\ 2015 - CPI\ 2014}{CPI\ 2014}

=\frac{126 - 120}{120}

= 5%

Real rate of interest = Nominal - inflation

Given that,

Nominal rate = 8%

Therefore,

Real interest rate is as follows:

2012:

= 8% - 10%

= -2%

2013:

= 8% - 9.09%

= -1.09%

2014:

= 8% - 5%

= 3%

$6000 at 8% grows to:

= 1000 × 1.08

= $6,480 in one year

which is invested again to grow to $6,998.4 in two years

which is invested again to grow to $7,558.272 in three years

so,

Total gain:

=\frac{7,558.272-6,000}{6000}\times100

= 25.9712%

The price level increases in three years by:

=\frac{CPI\ 2015 - CPI\ 2012}{CPI\ 2012}\times 100

=\frac{126 - 100}{100}\times 100

= 26%

So,

Total real rate of return:

= Total gain - Percentage increase in prices

= 25.9712 - 26

= -0.0288%
