Presented below are income statements prepared on a LIFO and FIFO basis for Sunland Company, which started operations on January

1, 2019. The company presently uses the LIFO method of pricing its inventory and has decided to switch to the FIFO method in 2020. The FIFO income statement is computed in accordance with the requirements of GAAP. Sunland’s profit-sharing agreement with its employees indicates that the company will pay employees 10% of income before profit-sharing. Income taxes are ignored.

Instructions:
A) If comparative income statements are prepared, what net income should Kenseth report in 2016 and 2017?
B) Explain why, under the FIFO basis, Kenseth reports $100 in 2016 and $96 in 2017 for its profit sharing expense.
C) Assume that Kenseth has a beginning balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2017, of $8,000 using the LIFO method. The company declared and paid dividends of $500 in 2014. Prepare the retained earnings statement for 2017, assuming that Kenseth has switched to the FIFO method.

Solution :

A.                                              Kenseth Company

                                   Income Statement (for the year ended)

                                                      2017        2016

Sales                                             3000        3000

Cost of goods sold                      1100           940

Operating expenses                    1000          1000

Income before profit sharing      9000         1060

Profit sharing expense                 96              100          

Net Income                                 $ 804          $ 960

The company must report $\$ \ 100$ as profit sharing expense in 2016, even though, profit sharing of expense may be $\$ \ 106$ if FIFO had been used in the year 2016.

B. The profit sharing of expense reflects the indirect effect of the change in an accounting principle. Under the SFAS No. 154, the indirect effects from period before the change are recorded in the year of the change.

In this case, profit sharing expense recorded in the year 2007 is composed of :

$ 900 x 10%     =   $ 90 (year 2017 under the FIFO)

$ 60 x 10%   = $ 6 (difference in the profit sharing for the year 2016)

       Net        = $ 96 (profit sharing expense for the FIFO in year 2017)

C.                              Retaining earnings statement of 2017

   Retained earning, Jan 1 as reported                                 $ 8000

   Cumulative effect of the change to $FIFO$ ($960 - $900)    $ 60

  Retained earnings , Jan 1, as adjusted                               $ 8060

  Add $:$ Net income                                                                   $\$ \ 804$

 Deduct $:$  Dividends                                                                   $ 500

 Retained earnings, Dec 31                                                       $ 8364

George bought a car for $26,500. he made no down-payment and financed the entire amount on a 5-year term with a monthly payment
pentagon [3]
Given:
Principal, P = 26500
term=5 years
Monthly payment, A = 695

Question: Find interest rate

Solution:
Unless there is a table available, there is no explicit formula to calculate interest.  However, the interest rate can be solved for using the formula to calculate the monthly payment, as follows.

A=\frac{P(i*(1+i)^{n})}{(1+i)^{n}-1}
Substituting 
P=26500
i=monthly interest rate to be found
A=monthly payment=695
n=5*12=60 months
A=\frac{26500(i*(1+i)^{60})}{(1+i)^{60}-1}
Rearrange to give successive estimates of i by
I(i)=(695/26500)*((1+i)^60-1)/(1+i)^60
Try initial estimate of i=0.02  (2% per month)
I(0.02)=0.0182
I(0.0182)=0.01736
I(0.01736)=0.01689
....
Eventually we get the value to stabilize at i=0.016265, or
Monthly interest = 1.6265% (to four decimal places)

If a family spends its entire budget in a given time frame, the family can afford either 80 cans of beans or 35 frozen pizzas. A
Fofino [41]

Answer:

7/16

Explanation:

Opportunity cost is the cost of the alternative forgone. It is also called the real cost. It is a concept in economics developed due to the fact that wants are unlimited but the resources available to meet the wants are limited. Hence a scale of preference would be drawn up for the wants in order of importance.

If the family can afford either 80 cans of beans or 35 frozen pizzas, the cost of a can of beans in terms of frozen pizza is 35/80 frozen pizza while the cost of a unit of frozen pizza in terms of beans is 80/35.

As such, the opportunity cost of one can of beans in terms of frozen pizza is 35/80 which is 7/16 in the lowest term

Zarrin [17]

Answer:

The correct answer is D) offers growth in revenues and profits by discovering or inventing a new industry or distinct market segment that renders rivals largely irrelevant and allows a company to create and capture altogether new demand.

Explanation:

The blue ocean strategy is a marketing theory that determines the need for organizations to forget about competition and focus especially on creating their own growth possibilities, which allows perceiving other variables that are of greater importance for business and that generally remain hidden due to the price war in which the market has been involved.

Mauro Products distributes a single product, a woven basket whose selling price is $21 per unit and whose variable expense is $1
Grace [21]

Answer:

1. Break even points in units will be =  2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units

Explanation:

Break even point = \frac{Fixed Cost}{Contribution per unit}

Fixed Cost = $8,100

Contribution per unit = Sale Price - Variable Cost = $21 - $18 = $3

1. Break even points in units will be

= \frac{8,100}{3} = 2,700 units.

2. Break-even point in dollar sales

= Break even point in units X Sale price per unit

= 2,700 units X $21 = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales

= \frac{8,100 + 600}{3} = 2,900 units

Final Answer

1. Break even points in units will be =  2,700 units

2. Break-even point in dollar sales = $56,700

3. In case fixed expense increase by $600 then Break even point in unit sales = 2,900 units
