Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
1. FIFO inventory > LIFO inventory
(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first or sold first so the remaining inventory are old inventory which is less costlier.)
2. FIFO cost of goods sold < LIFO cost of goods sold
(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first which are expensive so the cost of production is greater than FIFO.)
3. FIFO net income > LIFO net income
(Because cost of production is less under FIFO and the value of closing inventory is high, therefore the net income is also high.)
4. FIFO income taxes > LIFO income taxes
(Since, income is high in FIFO, therefore the tax under FIFO will be higher.)
b)
Management would like prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices because Income shown in the company's Tax return will be higher if we use FIFO rather than using LIFO.

The more the lower-level personnel provide input or are actually given the discretion to make decisions, the more

Answer and Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
b. The upper specification limit is
= 4 + 0.08
= 4.080 mm
c. The Lower specification limit is
= 4 - 0.08
= 3.920 mm
d. The process capability index is
= min ((Upper specification limit - Mean) ÷ (3 × Standard deviation)), ((Mean - Lower specification limit)÷ (3 × Standard deviation))
= min (0.08 ÷ (3 × 0.02)), (0.08 ÷ (3 × 0.02))
= min (1.333, 1.333)
So it would be 1.333
e. Upper specification = 4.08 mm
Mean line = 4.0 mm
Now,
The upper specification lies at a distance = Upper specification - Mean line
= 4.08 mm - 4.0 mm
= 0.08 mm
upper specification =Upper specification lies ÷ One standard deviation
= 0.08 mm ÷ 0.02 mm
= 4 mm which is standard deviations from the mean
Answer:
a. Cash paid to suppliers of merchandise during the reporting period: $44.1 million
b. A summary entry that represents the net effect of merchandise purchases during the reporting period as below:
Dr Cost of goods sold 44,000,000
Dr Inventory 6,700,000
Cr Account Payable 6,600,00
Cr Cash 44,100,000
Explanation:
We have the total amount goods buying from the supplier in the period = Cost of good sold in the period + Difference in the inventory balance of the period = $44 million + $6.7 million = $50.7 million
Thus, the additional amount owed supplier in the period is $50.7 million.
Account Payable increased by 6.6 million, it means that only 44.1 million ( that is, 50.7 million - 6.6 million) is paid during the period.
Thus, the summary will represents: Increase in COGS 44 million ( given); Increase in Inventory 6.7 million (given); Increase in account payable 6.6 million ( given) and Decrease in Cash 44.1 million ( calculated above).
