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.
LIFO BASIS FIFO BASIS
2017 2016 2017 2016

net income 783 900 804 960
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

lesya692 [45]

Answer:

$11.1

Explanation:

We can calculate the factory overhead allocated to a unit using multiple department factory overhead rate methods with an allocation base of direct labor hours. In this method, we will divide the te total overhead cost in direct labor hours consumed in that department.

Solution

Direct Labor  Overhead  rate for Finishing = $550,000/500,000

Direct Labor  Overhead  rate for Finishing = $1.10  per hour

Direct Labor  Overhead rate for Production = $400,000/80,000

Direct Labor  Overhead rate for Production = $5

Overhead for DeskLamps = (Direct labor hours in Finishing x Direct Labor  Overhead  rate for Finishing + Direct Labor hours in Production x Direct Labor  Overhead rate for Production)

Overhead for DeskLamps= (1x$1.10 + 2x$5)

Overhead for DeskLamps= $11.1

Explain how consumer and producer surplus affect economic well-being. When the price of a good or service is – enough, it will e
horrorfan [7]

Answer:

the general welfare will be the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus.

Explanation:

The consumer and producer surplus assessment serves to measure the overall efficiency of the market, which in turn is associated with overall well-being. An efficient market is one in which both consumers and producers have the incentive to negotiate and effect trade.

Consumer surplus is the difference between the amount he or she is willing to pay and how much he or she actually pays for the product. This surplus is positive when the amount paid is less than the amount for which the consumer would be willing to pay.

Similarly, the producer's surplus is the difference between the market price and the price at which the seller is willing to produce and sell. When the producer's surplus is positive, it means that he sells the product for a price higher than the minimum value that would stimulate him to produce.

Thus, the general welfare will be the sum of consumer surplus and producer surplus.
