LF Corporation, a manufacturer of Mexican foods, contracted in 2014 to purchase 1,500 pounds of a spice mixture at $5.00 per pou

kramer

Answer:

(b) a loss of $750

Explanation:

Given;

Amount of spice mixture to be purchased = 1500 pounds

Price of spice mixture in 2014 = $5.00 per pound

Changed price of sugar mixture = $4.50 per pound

Now,

The amount to be received on the day of contract in 2014

= Amount of spice mixture to be purchased × Price of spice mixture in 2014

= 1500 × $5.00

= $7,500

and,

The amount to be received in 2015

= Amount of spice mixture to be purchased × Price of spice mixture in 2015

= 1500 × $4.50

= $6,750

The difference in Expected amount and the amount to be received

= $7500 - $6750

= $750

Since the amount to be received is less than the expected amount on the day of contract

Therefore,

a loss will be recognized

Hence,

the correct answer is option (b) a loss of $750

Tara Company owns 30% of Hawkins, Inc. and applies the equity method. During the current year, Hawkins buys inventory costing $4

Step2247 [10]

Answer:

The correct option is d. $7,500

Explanation:

For computing the unrealized gain, first we have to compute the gross profit ratio which is shown below:

Since gross profit is not given in the question, so, first we have to find it.

The gross profit formula is shown below:

= Sales revenue - cost of goods sold

= $500,000 - $400,000

= $100,000

Now, gross profit ratio equals to

= (Gross profit ÷ sales revenue) × 100

= ($100,000 ÷ $500,000) × 100

= 20%

In the question, the 25% of merchandise is still held by Tara.

Since merchandise inventory is not given

So, we multiply the gross profit by 25% and 30%

In mathematically,

= Gross profit × 25% × 30%

= $100,000 × 25% × 30%

= $7,500

Hence, the $7,500 amount of unrealized gain must be deferred by Hawkins in reporting on the equity method

Therefore, the correct option is d. $7,500
