Answer:

$55,900

Explanation:

Opening inventory - $6200

Closing inventory - $7500

Expected sales - $78000

Mark up = 30% of sales

Cost of sales =70/100*78000

$54600

Purchase = (closing inventory + cost of sales )- opening inventory

$(7500+54600)-6200

$62100-$6200 =$55900.

Answer:

$53,300

Explanation:

The formula for Gross Profit is,

Sales - Cost of Goods Sold(COGS) = Gross Profit (GP)

Here we know that Gross profit is 30% of Sales, hence, Gross profit is $23,400. Therefore we now know that COGS will be $54,600.

Now to calculate purchases,

Opening Inv + Purchases - Closing Inv = COGS

7500 + X - 6200 = 54600

Hence Purchases will be = $53,300.

Hope this helps.

Thankyou.

C. The amount of the net increase in owner's equity during the month = 3700

D. The amount of the net income for the month = 5500

E. The net income for the month was retained in the business = 3700

Explanation:

a)

Description for :

Transaction 1 - Provided catering service for cash

Transaction 2 - Purchase of land for cash

Transaction 3 - Payment of cash for expenses

Transaction 4 - Purchase of supplies on account

Transaction 5 - Withdrawal of cash by owner

Transaction 6 - Payment of cash to creditors

Transaction 7 - Recognition of cost of supplies used

b.)

Net decrease = Closing Balance - opening Balance

                        = 27,600 - 13,700

                        = 13,900

⇒The amount of the net decrease in cash during the month = 13,900

c.)

Net increase in owner's equity = ( Opening capital balance - Drawing + Income earned during the year - Expenses incurred during the year ) - Opening capital

⇒Net increase = ( 92,700 - 1800 + 32,300 - 26,800 ) - 92,700

                         = 96,400 - 92,700 = 3700

⇒The amount of the net increase in owner's equity during the month = 3700

d.)

Amount of the net income for the month = Total Income - Expenses

                                                                    = 32,300 - 26,800

                                                                     = 5500

⇒Amount of the net income for the month = 5500

e.)

Net income for the month was retained in the business = Net Income - Drawings

⇒Net income was retained in the business =  5500 - 1800

                                                                         = 3700

⇒Net income for the month was retained in the business = 3700

Why is accounting a service industry?
Y_Kistochka [10]
Hi there.

I recently learned in Social Studies that services are usually intangible services. They have value, but you cannot physically touch them.

I'm also using the process of elimination. With that, I give you my best guess:


A. Because it provides support but no tangible goods.

Hope this works out for ya!
