Answer:1. $7720
2. $7945
3. $7758
Explanation: 1. First in First out method which means the first inventory to be purchased by company will be the first to be sold.
Total cost of Sales = Total number of units Sold * Total Cost of inventory sold
= 100units*$5+ 300units*$5.30+ 200units*$5.35 + 450units*$5.60
=$7720
Total units sold=1450 we started from first inventory which was the balance of inventory of 100 units downwards up to the 1450th unit sold that was purchased on the 26th of April by the company.
2. Last in first out method is where the last bought inventory is sold first.
Total cost of sales= Total number of units sold * Total cost of units sold =200units$*5.80+ 600units*$5.60+ 200units*$5.35+300units*$5.30+150units*$5.1
=$7945
Total units sold still 1450 but we calculated the cost from the last purchased unit from 30th April to the 1450th unit sold which was on the 12th of April.
3. Average Cost = (Sum of all costs/Total number of costs)* total units sold
= (($5+$5.1+$5.3+$5.35+$5.6+$5.8)/6)* 1450
=$7769.58
Answer:
The balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.
Explanation:
The following are given in the question:
Percentage of allowance for uncollectible accounts = 3%
Credit sales = $125,000
Collections = $131,000
Amount written off = $180
Therefore, we have:
Account receivable on 31 December 2018 * 3% = $750
Account receivable on 31 December 2018 = $750 / 3% = $25,000
Accounts receivable on 01 January 2018 = Account receivable on 31 December 2018 - Credit sales + Collections + Amount written off = $25,000 - $125,000 + $131,000 + $180 = $31,180
Therefore, the balance of accounts receivable on January 1, 2018 is $31,180.
Answer:
Explanation:
Porter's generic strategies determine how the company will gain competitive advantage within the selected market. Lower cost, differentiated or focus strategies could be included. The company chooses one of the two types of competitive advantages either by lower costs than competition or by differentiating between customers' value to achieve higher prices. A company also chooses two types of products that offer its products to selected market segments or industry levels and offer products in many market segments. The generic strategy reflects the choices made by both the type and the degree of competitive advantage.
1)Cost Leadership Strategy: This generic strategy requires you to be the cheapest producer in an industry for a certain level of quality. The firm sells its products at a price higher than its competitors or below average industry prices to gain market share. In the case of price war, the firm may gain some profit while suffering from competition. Even if there is no price war, firms that can produce cheaper in the time of industry growth and falling prices will remain profitable for longer. Cost leadership strategies generally target the wider market.
Each common strategy has risks, including low cost strategies. For example, other firms may also reduce costs. As technology develops, competition can increase production power and thus eliminate competitive advantage. In addition, many companies that implement a focus strategy and target different narrow markets may earn less in their segments and gain significant market share as a group.
2)The differentiation strategy requires the development of a unique product or service for its customers and offers unique features that recognize whether customers are better or different than their competitors. The added value of the product with the uniqueness of the product may allow the company to earn a premium for the product. The risks associated with differentiation strategies include imitating competitors and changing customer tastes. In addition, different firms that implement focus strategies can achieve greater diversity in market segments.
3) Focus strategies are focused on a narrow segment and seeks to achieve cost advantage or differentiation in that segment. The main pillar is better service, focusing on the needs of the group. Using a focus strategy, the firm often has high customer loyalty, which prevents other firms from competing directly. There are some risks, such as imitating focus strategies and making changes to your target segments. In addition, it can be quite easy for a broad market value leader to adapt products directly to the competition. Finally, other focus areas can create sub-segments where they can better serve.
