Answer: B. The investor has a short-term capital loss of $20,000.

Explanation:

A short-term loss occurs when a deficit is realized when there's a sale of an asset which has been held by the person for a period of one year or less.

In this case, since the security was worthless, it's a loss and was also help for six months which is less than one year, then it's a short term capital loss.

Therefore, the correct option is B

Job 101 was completed and sold for $60,000. Job 102 was completed but not sold. Job 103 is still in process. Actual overhead cos
castortr0y [4]

Answer:

Required 1

Debit : Finished Goods  $53,600

Credit : Work In Process $53,600

Required 2

Debit : Cash $60,000

Debit : Cost of Goods Sold $55,000

Credit : Sales $60,000

Credit : Finished Goods $55,000

Required 3

Debit : Overheads $4,000

Credit : Cost of Sales $4,000

Explanation :

Hi, I have attached the full question as a pdf below

<u>Manufacturing Costs Calculations :</u>

Job 101  = $19,200 + $28,800 + ($420,000/60,000 x1,000) = $55,000

Job 102  = $14,400 + $11,200 + ($420,000/60,000 x4,000) = $53,600

<u>Closing Overheads :</u>

Actual Overheads = $45,000

Applied Overheads = $420,000/60,000 x 7,000 hours = $49,000

Therefore,

Overheads are over-applied ( by $4,000) and must be deducted from cost of sales
