Martinez Corporation commenced operations in early 2020. The corporation incurred $48,500 of costs such as fees to underwriters,
igomit [66]

Answer:

See below.

Explanation:

Since the expenses are related to the formation of the business, we first capitalize these expenses and record them in our balance sheet as,

Debit Intangible Assets (Formation) by $48,500

Credit Cash/Bank by $48,500

This records an asset for the year of operation.

We amortize or depreciate these type of capitalized costs over a defined period of time. Assuming that we write off the entire cost by the end of first year we will record amortization as,

Debit Amortization expense/Income statement by $48,500

Credit Intangible Assets (Formation) by $48,500

Hope that helps.

For the coming year, River Company estimates fixed costs at $109,000, the unit variable cost at $21, and the unit selling price
zzz [600]

Answer:

Instructions are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Fixed costs= $109,000

Unit variable cost= $21

Selling price= $85.

To calculate the break-even point in units, we need to use the following formula:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 109,000/ (85 - 21)

Break-even point in units= 1,703 units

Now, we need to include the desired profit:

Break-even point in units= (fixed costs + desired profit) / contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= (109,000 + 150,000) / 64

Break-even point in units= 4047 units

Sales= 500,000

Variable cost= 5,882*21= (123,522)

Contribution margin= 376,478

Fixed costs= (109,000)

Net operating income= $267,478

At the beginning of 2018, England Dresses has an inventory of $140,000. However, management wants to reduce the amount of invent
Bad White [126]

Answer:

purchases = 160000

Explanation:

given data

beginning inventory = $140,000

amount of inventory on hand = $80,000

net sales = $400,000

gross profit rate = 40%

solution

we first Computation of cost of goods sold  hat is

Gross profit rate = \frac{gross profit}{net sales} × 100

= \frac{gross profit}{400000} = = \frac{40}{100}

= 100 Gross profit = 16000000

so

Gross profit = 160000

and

Cost of goods sold is = sales - gross profit

so

Cost of goods sold = 400000 - 160000

Cost of goods sold = 240000

and

Cost of goods sold = opening inventory + purchases - closing inventory  

so put here value

240000 = 140000 + purchases - 60000

so purchases = 160000
