Answer:
Compute the amount of phantom profit that would result if the company used FIFO rather than LIFO.
- If the company used FIFO instead of LIFO, their profits would increase by $1,960 - $1,720 = $240 because their COGS would be lower.
Explain why this amount is referred to as phantom profit.
- Phantom profit basically refers to the profit that the company could have made using a different accounting method.
Identify the impact of LIFO versus FIFO.
- LIFO increases COGS by $240, reducing gross profits by the same amount.
Explanation:
units price total
purchase 100 $6 $600
purchase 200 $7 $1,400
purchase 140 $8 $1,120
total 440 $3,120
ending inventory 180
using LIFO $1,160
using FIFO $1,400
COGS using LIFO = $3,120 - $1,160 = $1,960
COGS using FIFO = $3,120 - $1,400 = $1,720
If the company used FIFO instead of LIFO, their profits would increase by $1,960 - $1,720 = $240 because their COGS would be lower.
Answer: Discretion

In the given case, the company did not interfere with the job of Herb and followed his instructions even though it sounded crazy at first.
Hence we can conclude that the leadership gave herb high degree of discretion.
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
The consumption is
= 40 cases × $40 per case
= $1,600
The import is also same i.e $1,600 because the purchase from Dutch distributor represents the consumption and imports for the United states economy.
Now the exporter is
= 200 transistors × $ 15
= $3,000
Now the net exports is
= Exports - imports
= $3,000 - $1,600
= $1,400
And, the consumption value is $1,100
The total economy consumption is
= $1,600 + $1,100
= $2,700
Now the GDP is
= Consumption + investment + government spending + net exports
= $2,700 + $0 + $0 + $1,400
= $4,100
Answer:
$140,000
Explanation:
The computation of adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account is shown below:-
adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account = unadjusted normal balance + Credit Accumulated Depreciation account
= $120,000 + $20,000
= $140,000
Hence the adjusted balance in the Accumulated Depreciation account is $140,000.
