Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of hats produced = 80,000

Number of hats sold = 72,000

Ending inventory = 8,000

1 Sales $4,320,000.00

2 Manufacturing costs:             July                    August

3 Direct materials                  $1,600,000.00    $1,280,000.00

4 Direct labor                           1,440,000.00       1,152,000.00

6 Fixed manufacturing cost      320,000.00        320,000.00

Total manufacturing costs   $3,600,000.00  $2,944,000.00

Under absorption costing:

Unit cost = $45 ($3,600,000/80,000)             $36.80 ($2,944,000/80,000)

Cost of goods sold = $3,240,000 ($45*72,000) $2,649,600 (36.8*72,000)

Ending Inventory =         360,000 ($45*8,000)         294,400 ($36.8*8,000)

7 Selling and administrative expenses:

8 Variable                                 $144,000.00       $144,000.00

9 Fixed                                         25,000.00          25,000.00

Total selling & admin.  exp.     $169,000.00      $169,000.00

Under variable costing:

2 Manufacturing costs:

3 Direct materials                    $1,600,000.00     $1,280,000.00

4 Direct labor                             1,440,000.00        1,152,000.00

5 Variable manufacturing cost   240,000.00          192,000.00

8 Variable selling & admin cost   144,000.00          144,000.00

Total variable costs =             $3,424,000.00    $2,768,000.00

Unit variable cost = $42.80 ($3,424,000/80,000)     $34.60

Cost of goods sold = $3,081,600 ($42.80 * 72,000)  $2,491,200

Ending Inventory =         342,400 ($42.80 * 8,000)         276,800

6 Fixed manufacturing cost    $320,000.00            $320,000.00

9 Fixed selling & admin. cost      25,000.00                25,000.00

b. Cost of goods sold

Explanation:

With the current period's beginning inventory (or previous period's ending inventory) understated by $17,000 and the overstatement of the current period's ending inventory by $27,000, it implies that the Cost of goods sold is understated by $10,000.  Once this cost is understated, the net income will be overstated, as well as the owner's equity (via the retained earnings).

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Production Oriented or Mass Production Era.

Explanation:

This marketing era took place around the mid 1800s and lasted until the early 1920s. It was basically a result of the industrial revolution where mass production started and manufacturing costs started to decrease. Most businesses would produce only one or very few types of products, and most business people thought that if they were to manufacture something, someone would buy it. Since this type of mass production was something totally new, people had lots of products available and relatively cheap for the first time, and indeed most of the production was sold that way.

MrMuchimi

Answer:

11.68 years

Explanation:

For computing the number of years first we have to applied the NPER formula i.e to be shown in the attachment below:

Given that,  

Present value = $11,000

Future value = $19,000

Rate of interest = 6.5%

PMT = $0

The formula is shown below:

= NPER(Rate;PMT;-PV;FV;type)

The present value come in negative

So, after applying the above formula, the number of years is 8.68

Now after 3 years, it would be

= 8.68 + 3

= 11.68 years
