Answer:
D. Cost of Goods Sold
Explanation:
The cost of goods sold or simply COGS is a numerical representation of the direct expenses incurred in manufacturing products sold to customers in a period. It is the aggregate of direct labor, direct materials, and overheads used in the production process. COGS apply to manufacturing firms and companies that handle physical goods.
The COGS is deducted from the sales revenue to give the gross profit. Calculating the COGS involves adding the purchases or goods manufactured to the beginning inventory. Ending inventory is deducted from the total to provide the COGS. As per the formula, the COGS does not apply to the service industry.
Answer:
The bank reconciliation statement is as shown below:
Amount in $
Balance per bank statement 33,650.00
Deposit in transit 9,150.00
Outstanding check (17,865.00)
Bank charges 80.00
Note collected (6,095.00)
Returned check (540.00)
Check drawn <u> (630.00)
</u>
Book balance <u> 17,750.00</u><u> </u>
Explanation:
Deposit in transit has been recorded in the books, thus the addition to the bank balance. Bank charges have been deducted from the bank balance but not in the cash book hence it is added back. Note collected is yet to be recognized in the books hence the deduction from the bank balance.
Amount recorded from the check returned is more than the actual by $540 hence the deduction. The check drawn has been over charged by the bank to the tune of $630 hence the deduction.
Answer:
Quantitatively, Harlan Bikes is justified in deciding to close the department, but there are other qualitative factors that need to be considered which may result in the company loosing much more that they can save if the department is closed, such as for example a decrease in employee morale, a negative signalling effect to other stakeholders, a drop in sales in related products etc.
Explanation:
A decrease in employee morale can result especially if workers in other departments are no-longer sure about their future in the company, resulting from fears of their departments being closed. This can negatively affect productivity resulting in lower profits in other department.
A negative signalling effect means that other stakeholders such as investors and creditors may start questioning managements ability to profitably run the business, and the company will be perceived as more risky. Cost of debt and cost of equity capital for example, may go up, due to this higher perceived risk, and which may reduce the number of positive net present value projects that the company can undertake due to an increase in cost of capital.
If the company carries related products in other departments, it may also see a drop in sales in those sales, which will effectively reduced the savings that are estimated to be gained from closing the division.
