R. J. Graziano Wholesale Corp. uses the LIFO method of inventory costing. In the current year, profit at R. J. Graziano is runni

Nata [24]

Answer:

a. What is the effect of this transaction on this year's and next year's income statement and income tax expense? Why?

The inventory account is a permanent asset account in the balance sheet, so it doesn't matter if the company purchases all that it can during the last days of December, it will not affect the income statement, nor their tax liability for the current year. A company only recognizes cost of goods sold when the goods are actually sold, not when they are purchased.

Since the company uses the LIFO (last in, first out) inventory method, all it will do is increase the value of ending inventory which changes into beginning inventory next year. You can reduce next year's income more by purchasing the goods next year.

b. If R. J. Graziano Wholesale had been using the FIFO method of inventory costing, would the president give the same directive?

If the company used the FIFO method, the result will be the same. Inventory is not COGS, whether you use FIFO, LIFO weighted average, specific identification, or any other acronym that you might come up with. At beginning of the year, inventory must be average to determine beginning inventory. it might help to increase COGS a little, therefore, decreasing net income, but the effects shouldn't be significant.

c. Should the plant accountant order the inventory purchase to lower income? What are the ethical implications of this order?

It is useless, and he should know it. The only implication is that this will help him realize his low IQ.

An airport needs a modern material handling system for facilitating access to and from a busy maintenance hangar. A second-hand

Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The second hand machine should be chosen given that the NPV value is lower than that of the new system

Explanation:

cost of second hand system = $75,000

cost of new system = $150,000

New system can decrease labor hours by 20%

number of useful life ( for both systems ) = 5 years

market value of second hand system after 5 years = $20,000

market value of new system after 5 years = $50,000

Second hand system can operate for 8 hours/day for 20 days = 8*20 = 160 hours per month = 1920 hours per year

labor cost = $40 per hour

MARR = 1% per month

<u> Determine the system that should be recommended</u>

we have to calculate the NPV for both options

for Option 1 ( second hand system )

labor cost = 40 * 1920 = $76800

cost of purchase = $75,000

MARR = 12% p.a.

residual value = $20000

First step : calculate the PV of maintenance cost = $76800× PVAF(12%, 5 years) = $276864

Next : calculate the PV of residual value =$20000× PVF(12%, 5th year)

= $11340

NPV = (75000 + 276864 - 11340 ) = $340,524

for Option 2 ( New Machine )

Labor cost = ( 1920 × 0.8 )hours ×40 = $61440

cost of machine = $150000

Pv of labor cost = 61440×3.605 = $221491.20

Residual value = $50,000

Hence ; PV of residual value = 50000 × 0.567 = $28350

Finally calculate the NPV = (150000+221491.20-28350) = $343,141.20

Answer:

Monopoly

In a monopoly market, a producer or a supplier earn abnormal profits, which is why they don't try to control the cost of production because they can sell the good at any price. This situation where the cost of production increases, it creates X-inefficiency.
