The correct answer is option (F)In PERT, another path could become critical.
Explanation:
Solution
From the given question, the following statement is true, If In PERT another path could become critical.
Now,
Depending on the standard deviation of another path or way, even with a shorter duration or period, the higher degree of variability could bring about the change in a critical path or result in the critical path being changed.
The correct statements referring to the critical path in project management are B, E, and F: (B) It is the path with the longest duration, and in both CPM and PERT methodologies, (E and F) another path could become critical due to changes in the project.
Explanation:The critical path in project management is a key concept often examined in Business studies, specifically when discussing project management methodologies like Critical Path Method (CPM) and Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT). Clarifying the statements provided regarding the critical path:
Therefore, statements B, E, and F are true regarding the critical path.
Metropolitan Power and Light is a monopoly in the electrical generation and distribution industry. Since it does not face any competition in its industry, it has become quite lax in research and development and has not made any improvements to its efficiency. It also spends lavishly on its corporate retreats because it has a high level of guaranteed profits every year. Its actions are an example of:
Answer: x-inefficiency.
Explanation: Since it does not face any competition in its industry, the actions of Metropolitan Power and Light are an example of x-inefficiency which is a situation in which monopolies find themselves wherein they do not have to act efficiently since they are protected from competitive pressures. X-inefficiency is also applied to analyzing the average costs in imperfectly competitive markets whose average costs are higher than they would be if the market was more efficient.
Xinhong Company is considering replacing one of its manufacturing machines. The machine has a book value of $38,000 and a remaining useful life of five years, at which time its salvage value will be zero. It has a current market value of $48,000. Variable manufacturing costs are $34,000 per year for this machine. Information on two alternative replacement machines follows. Alternative A Alternative B Cost $ 117,000 $ 119,000 Variable manufacturing costs per year 22,300 10,100 Calculate the total change in net income if Alternative A, B is adopted. Should Xinhong keep or replace its manufacturing machine? If the machine should be replaced, which alternative new machine should Xinhong purchase?
Answer:
Calculate the total change in net income if Alternative A, B is adopted.
If alternative A is adopted, the total change in net income will be:
Given:
Cost of new machine = $117,000
Market value of old machine = $48,000
Variable manufacturing cost savings = ($34,000 - $22,300)*5years
= $58,500
The total change in net income=
(market value of old machine+ savings on variable manufacturing costs - cost of new machine)
= $48,000 + $58,500 - $117,000
= - $10,500
The total change in net income if Alternative A is adopted is $10,500.
__________________________
If alternative B is adopted, the total change in net income will be:
Given:
Cost of new machine = $119,000
Market value of old machine = $48,000
Variable manufacturing cost savings = ($34,000 -$10100)*5years
= $119,500
The total change in net income=
(market value of old machine+ savings on variable manufacturing costs - cost of new machine)
=$48,000 + $119,500 - $119,000
= $48,500
The total change in net income if Alternative B is adopted is $48,500
__________________________
From the calculation, we could see net income for alternative B is higher and it is also positive, compared to alternative A which is a negative and lower.
Therefore, if the machine should be replaced, alternative B should be usrd
The Western and Pacific Railroad has two divisions, the Western Division and the Pacific Division. The company recently invested $7,100,000 to maintain its railroad track. Pertinent data for the two divisions are as follows: Total Miles Traveled: Western Division 710,000 miles Pacific Division 1,110,000 miles The amount of track improvement cost that should be allocated to the Western Division is: (Round intermediate calculation to 1 decimal place.)
Answer:
Cost allocated to Western Division= $2,769,780.22
Explanation:
The track improvement cost should be fairly allocated to the divisions using the miles traveled as basis.
Total miles traveled = 710,000 + 1,110,000= 1,820,000
Cost allocated to Western division = (710,000/1820,000)× 7,100,000
= $2,769,780.22
Tiger Furnishings produces two models of cabinets for home theater
components, the Basic and the Dominator. Data on operations and costs
for March follow:
Basic Dominator Total
Units produced 850 300 1,150
Machine-hours 4,400 2,000 6,400
Direct labor-hours 2,700 2,800 5,500
Direct materials costs $11,000 $3,450 $14,450
Direct labor costs 58,300 32,300 90,600
Manufacturing overhead costs 191,950
Total costs $297,000
Required:
Compute the predetermined overhead rate assuming that Tiger Furnishings
uses direct labor-hours to allocate overhead costs.
Pre-determined overhead rate, per direct labor hour.
Answer:
211%
$34.9 per direct labor hour
Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
Pre-determined overhead rate = Total overhead ÷ Direct labor cost
= $191,950 ÷ $90,600
= 211 % of Direct labor hour
Pre-determined overhead rate = Total overhead ÷ Direct labor hours
= $191,950 ÷ $5,500
= $34.9 per direct labor hour
We simply applied the above formulas to determine the value of predetermined overhead rate.
Saskatchewan Forestry Company purchased a timber tract for $225,000 and estimates that it will be depleted evenly over its 10-year useful life with no residual value. Prepare the journal entry that would be recorded if 10 percent of the total timber is cut and placed into inventory during the current year
Answer:
generally you need to determine the cost per unit, but in this case you are given a percentage of depletion = 10% x $225,000 = $22,500 which determines the inventory value (or depletion expense if the timber is sold) during the year.
the journal entry should be:
December 31, 20xx
Dr Timber inventory 22,500
Cr Accumulated depletion - timber tract 22,500
Final answer:
A journal entry to record the depletion of timber at Saskatchewan Forestry Company involves debiting Depletion Expense and crediting Inventory—Timber by 10% of the initial cost of the timber tract, which amounts to $22,500 each.
Explanation:
The student's question is related to the journal entry for depletion expense in the accounting of natural resources by a company. When 10 percent of the timber is harvested from the tract purchased by Saskatchewan Forestry Company, an entry needs to be made to reflect the cost associated with the depletion of that portion of the timber tract.
Journal Entry Example:
Depletion Expense: $22,500
Inventory—Timber: $22,500
To record this journal entry: Debit Depletion Expense for the cost of the depleted timber, which is 10% of $225,000 (the cost of the timber tract), resulting in a value of $22,500. At the same time, we credit the Inventory—Timber account to reflect the addition of this timber to inventory, with the same value of $22,500.
Joiner Lumber has projected these monthly sales estimates: April $1,800 May $2,400 June $2,700 July $2,900 The firm collects 25 percent of its sales in the month of sale, 60 percent in the month following the month of sale, and another 14 percent in the second month following the month of sale. The firm never collects 1 percent of its sales. What is the amount of cash collections in July
Answer:
Total cash collection= $2,681
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
April= $1,800
May= $2,400
June= $2,700
July= $2,900
The firm collects 25 percent of its sales in the month of sale, 60 percent in the month following the month of sale, and another 14 percent in the second month following the month of sale.
Cash collection July:
From July= (2,900*0.25)= 725
From June= (2,700*0.60)= 1,620
From May= (2,400*0.14)= 336
Total cash collection= $2,681
Shelly's assets include money in checking and saving accounts, investments in stocks and mutual funds, and personal property such as furniture, appliances, an automobile, a coin collection, and jewelry. Shelly calculates that her total assets are $165,200. Her current unpaid bills, including an auto loan, credit card balances, and taxes, total $21,300. Calculate Shelly's net worth.
Answer:
Shelly's net worth is $143,900
Explanation:
An individual's net worth is the net value of all the asset owned, when all the liabilities have been subtracted. It is simple the total of what is owned minus what is owed. Hence, for shelly:
Total assets = $165,200
Total liabilities = $21,300
∴ Net worth = 165,200 - 21,300 = $143,900
Saxbury Corporation's relevant range of activity is 3,000 units to 7,000 units. When it produces and sells 4,700 units, its average costs per unit are as follows: Average Cost per Unit Direct materials $ 6.10 Direct labor $ 3.60 Variable manufacturing overhead $ 1.70 Fixed manufacturing overhead $ 3.90 Fixed selling expense $ 0.75 Fixed administrative expense $ 0.60 Sales commissions $ 0.50 Variable administrative expense $ 0.50 Required: a. For financial reporting purposes, what is the total amount of product costs incurred to make 4,700 units
Answer:
$71,910
Explanation:
The computation of the total amount of the product cost for 4,700 units is shown below:
= ( Direct materials per unit + Direct labor per unit + Variable manufacturing overhead per unit + Fixed manufacturing overhead per unit) × making units
= ($6.10 + $3.60 + $1.70 + $3.90) × 4,700 units
= $71,910
We simply considered the direct material, direct labor, variable manufacturing overhead, and the fixed manufacturing overhead as it comes under the product cost
You have just completed a $ 19,000 feasibility study for a new coffee shop in some retail space you own. You bought the space two years ago for $ 97,000, and if you sold it today, you would net $ 111,000 after taxes. Outfitting the space for a coffee shop would require a capital expenditure of $ 31,000 plus an initial investment of $ 4,700 in inventory. What is the correct initial cash flow for your analysis of the coffee shop opportunity?
Answer:
$146,700
Explanation:
The computation of the correct initial cash flow is shown below:
Expected after tax cash flows from sale of space $111,000
Add: Increase in working capital $4,700
Add: Outfitting expenses $31,000
Initial cash flow $146,700
We simply added the above expenses so that the initial cash flow could come i.e to be shown in the computation part
1. On November 16, 2019, a U.S. company makes a sale to a customer in Germany. Under the sale terms, the customer will pay the company €100,000 on March 16. On November 16, the company also enters a forward contract to sell €100,000 on March 16, 2020. On March 16, the company receives €100,000 from the customer and sells it using the forward contract. The company's accounting year ends December 31. Rates on the dates specified appear below: Spot Rate Forward Rate for March 16, 2020 Delivery November 16, 2019 $ 1.250 $ 1.248 December 31, 2019 1.260 1.255 March 16, 2020 1.265 1.265 2. At what amount will the company report sales revenue on its 2019 income statement? A. $125,000 B. $125,500 C. $124,800 D. $126,000
Answer:
$125,000
Explanation:
Given the following resorted data from the question:
Spot Rate Forward Rate for
March 16, 2020 Delivery
November 16, 2019 $1.250 $ 1.248
December 31, 2019 1.260 1.255
March 16, 2020 1.265 1.265
The applicable rate to use to calculate the amount the company will report sales revenue on its 2019 income statement is the spot rate ruling on the date the company made the sale to the customer in Germany, i.e. $1.250 on November 16, 2019.
Therefore, we have:
Sales revenue = €100,000 * $1.250 = $125,000.
Therefore, the amount the company will report sales revenue on its 2019 income statement is $125,000.
Which one of the following is an advantage of having an independent central bank? Central banks may be swayed by short term considerations and avoid inflationary policies. Central bank's actions can be frequently monitored by the legislative branch. The central bank independence does not appear to come at the cost of higher output or higher employment. The countries whose central banks are more independent have lower rates of inflation. All of the following are institutional features that make a central bank independent, except when: they are swayed by short run political considerations. they are not obligated to buy newly issued government bonds. their actions are not subject to frequent interference or review. the central bankers are appointed for a longer period of time.
Answer: 1. The countries whose central banks are more independent have lower rates of inflation.
2. They are swayed by short run political considerations
Explanation:
1. Central Banks that are less independent run the risk of the government putting too much pressure on them to embark on policies that would increase inflation such as making them print excessive amounts of currency. This has been corroborated by studies that show that indeed, countries with more independent central Banks have less inflation than countries with less independent Central Banks.
In the graph attached, notice how much lower inflation is in German and the USA due to a higher degree of Central Bank independence.
2. A Central bank that is Independent does not concern itself with Politics but rather with exercising it's mandate. Many a time leading politicians in Countries with less Independent Central Banks will pressure the central bank to roll out certain policies that enable their approval to rise and increase their chances of re-election regardless of how harmful these policies will be in the long run.
Using the present value tables in Exhibits 26-3 and 26-4, Assume that the required rate of return for investment projects at Rippenstock Corporation is 12 percent. One department has proposed investment in new equipment with a 10-year life span and a present value of expected future annual cash flows of $120,000. The equipment’s initial outlay cost is $125,000 and it has a salvage value of $10,000. Will this investment project meet the required rate of return for the company? (Round your "PV factors" to 3 decimal places.)
Answer:
No
Explanation:
the required rate of return = 12%
if the present value of the project's cash flows after being discounted at the required rate of return = $120,000, then the net present value (NPV) of the project is negative. Future cash flows are discounted at the company's required rate of return, if they were discounted at a lower rate, their present value would be higher.
Any project with a negative NPV should be rejected because it doesn't provide enough cash flows.
The unemployment compensation program:
a. makes recessions more severe.
b. makes recessions more severe and inflationary episodes less severe.
c. makes recessions less severe and inflationary episodes more severe.
d. makes recession less severe.
e. has no effect on the severity of recessions and inflationary episodes.
Answer:
I would answer makes recession less severe
Explanation:
Unemployment compensation is an example of: automatic stabilizer
Final answer:
The unemployment compensation program acts as an automatic stabilizer, D. making recessions less severe by supporting aggregate demand through income support to the unemployed.
Explanation:
The unemployment compensation program is often seen as a form of automatic stabilizer that helps to cushion the economic blow of a recession by providing income support to those who lose their jobs. This income support helps to maintain aggregate demand by giving the unemployed funds to continue spending, preventing a steeper decline in economic activity. Thus, rather than making recessions more severe, the program tends to make recessions less severe.
During inflationary episodes, the effect of unemployment compensation is not as straightforward. While it can provide some countercyclical pressure by supporting demand, if the inflation is driven by cost-push factors, such as a rise in the price of oil, increased spending from unemployment benefits could contribute to the inflationary pressure. However, typically, inflation is not driven by such factors, and the main role of unemployment compensation is to stabilize output rather than influencing inflation significantly. In conclusion, the primary effect of unemployment compensation is as a stabilizer during recessions rather than as an inflationary force.
Sleepgood Company produces and sells pillows. It expects to sell 10,000 pillows in the next month and will have 1,000 pillows in finished goods inventory at the end of the current month. Sleepgood would like to complete operations next month with at least 1,000 completed pillows in inventory. There is no ending work-in-process inventory. The pillows sell for $6 each. How many pillows would be produced in the next month? Group of answer choices 10,000 pillows 15,350 pillows 14,350 pillows 14,850 pillows
Answer:
Production budget for next month = 10,000 units
Explanation:
The production budgeted for a particular period is the expected units to be produced after adjusting the sales budget figures for opening and closing inventories.
Production budget = Sales budget + closing inventory - opening inventory
Opening inventory for next month = closing inventory for this month = 1000 units
Closing inventory for next month is given as 1000 units
Production budget = 10,000 + 1,000 -10000
= 10,000 units
Answer:
10,000 pillows

Valorous Corporation will pay a dividend of $ 1.90 per share at this year's end and a dividend of $ 2.35 per share at the end of next year. It is expected that the price of Valorous' stock will be $ 41 per share after two years. If Valorous has an equity cost of capital of 8%, what is the maximum price that a prudent investor would be willing to pay for a share of Valorous stock today?
Answer:
The multiple choices are as follows:
a) 41.45
b) 42.40
c) 38.92
d) 40.22
The correct option is C,$38.92
Explanation:
The maximum price a prudent and rational investor would be willing to pay for a share of Valorous stock today is the present value of future cash flows promised by the stock.
The stock promised to pay dividend of $1.90 at year end ,$2.35 next year and would command a price of $41 per share at the end of next year.
Share price=$1.90/(1+8%)+$2.35/(1+8%)^2+$41/(1+8%)^2=$38.92
The above calculation makes of use of discounting factor which is given by 1/(1+r)^n
r is the cost of capital of 8%
n is the relevant of cash flow
SIROM Scientific Solutions has $10 million of outstanding equity and $5 million of bank debt. The bank debt costs 5% per year. The estimated equity beta is 2. If the market risk premium is 9% and the risk-free rate is 3%, compute the weighted average cost of capital if the firm’s tax rate is 30%.
Answer:
15.167%
Explanation:
For computing the WACC we need to do the following calculations which are shown below:
Cost of equity = Risk free rate + Beta × Market risk premium
= 3% + 2 × 9%
= 21%
After tax cost of debt = Cost of debt × (1-Tax Rate)
= 5% × (1 - 0.30)
= 3.50%
Now
WACC = Weight of debt × Cost of debt + Weight of equity × Cost of equity
= 5 ÷ 15 × 3.50 + 10 ÷ 15 × 21
= 1.167% + 14%
= 15.167%
Supler Corporation produces a part used in the manufacture of one of its products. The unit product cost is $19, computed as follows: Direct materials $ 7 Direct labor 5 Variable manufacturing overhead 2 Fixed manufacturing overhead 5 Unit product cost $ 19 An outside supplier has offered to provide the annual requirement of 6,600 of the parts for only $15 each. The company estimates that 80% of the fixed manufacturing overhead cost above could be eliminated if the parts are purchased from the outside supplier. Assume that direct labor is an avoidable cost in this decision. Based on these data, the financial advantage (disadvantage) of purchasing the parts from the outside supplier would be:
Answer :
Advantage = $3
Explanation :
As per the data given in the question,
Particulars Manufacturing buying
Purchase from outside suppliers $15
Direct material $7
Direct labor $5
Variable manufacturing overhead $2
Fixed manufacturing overhead $4
Total cost $18 $15
Fixed manufacturing overhead = $5 × 80% = $4
Since it give the net advantage of $3
Hence, Supler Corporation should purchase from the outside supplier.
We compare the manufacturing and buying cost and according to the cost we take the decision. As we can see that the buying cost is less than the manufacturing cost so it would give the advantage of $3

Sue and Andrew form SA General Partnership. Each person receives an equal interest in the newly created partnership. Sue contributes 1000 of cash and land with a FMV of 50000. Her basis in the land is 10000. Andrew contributes equipment with a FMV of 51000. His basis in the equipment is 35000. How much gain must the SA general partnership recognize on the transfer of these assets from Sue and Andrew?
Answer: $0
Explanation:
Gains are not recognized when assets are transferred. They are only recognised when assets are disposed of. In the above scenario, Sue and Andrew TRANSFERRED the assets to the company and so SA General Partnership cannot recognize a gain until the assets are disposed of.
It is worthy of note that a Carryover basis transaction has taken place in this scenario. This means that the basis in the assets of Sue and Andrew have been transferred to the SA General Partnership.
Pack, Inc. applies manufacturing overhead on the basis of machine hours. The following estimates were used for the current year: Estimated Machine Hours 200,000 Estimated Manufacturing Overhead $1,000,000 Actual machine hours were 202,000 and actual manufacturing overhead was $1,005,000. What was Pack's over- or under-applied overhead for the year and what was its effect on cost of goods sold (prior to adjustment)?
Answer:
Instructions are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Estimated Machine Hours 200,000
Estimated Manufacturing Overhead $1,000,000
Actual machine hours were 202,000
actual manufacturing overhead was $1,005,000.
First, we need to calculate the estimated overhead rate for the period:
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= total estimated overhead costs for the period/ total amount of allocation base
Estimated manufacturing overhead rate= 1,000,000/200,000= $5 per machine hour
Now, we can allocate overhead based on actual hours:
Allocated MOH= Estimated manufacturing overhead rate* Actual amount of allocation base
Allocated MOH= 5*202,000= $1,010,000
Finally, we need to determine the under/over allocation:
Under/over applied overhead= real overhead - allocated overhead
Under/over applied overhead= 1,005,000 - 1,010,000= 5,000 overallocated
The effect on the cost of goods sold is that it will be overestimated in the income statement.

Poulter Corporation will pay a dividend of $3.25 per share next year. The company pledges to increase its dividend by 5.1 percent per year, indefinitely. If you require a return of 11 percent on your investment, how much will you pay for the company’s stock today? (Do not round intermediate calculations and round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g., 32.16.)
Answer:
Price of stock = $55.08
Explanation:
The price of a stock is the present value of the future dividends discounted at the required rate of return.
P = D/(r-g)
P-price of stock today, D- Dividend in year's time, r- required rate of return,
g- growth rate in dividend
Using the following parameters:
P =?, r- 11%, g- 5.1%
P = 3.25/(0.11-0.051)
P = 55.08474576
Price of stock = $55.08
Pauley Company provides home health care. Pauley charges $35 per hour for the professional care. The variable costs are $21 per hour and the fixed costs are $78,000. Next year, Pauley would like to earn an operating income of $37,500. How many hours of the professional care must Pauley provide to achieve the target income? a.5,571 hours b.3,714 hours c.8,250 hours d.2,679 hours e.5,500 hours
Answer:
c.8,250 hours
Explanation:
The computation is shown below:
= (Fixed expenses + target profit) ÷ (Contribution margin per unit)
where,
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable expense per unit
= $35 - $21
= $14
Now the number of hours to achieve the target income is
= ($78,000 + $37,500) ÷ ($14)
= 8,250 hours

In conclusion, the accounting entry will be Debit $ 800,000 to Asset Account.
. On January 2, 2012, Wine Corporation wishes to issue $3,000,000 (par value) of its 8%, 10-year bonds. The bonds pay interest annually on January 1. The current yield rate on such bonds is 10%. Using the interest factors below, compute the amount that Wine will realize from the sale (issuance) of the bonds. Present value of 1 at 8% for 10 periods 0.4632 Present value of 1 at 10% for 10 periods 0.3855 Present value of an ordinary annuity at 8% for 10 periods 6.7101 Present value of an ordinary annuity at 10% for 10 6.1446 periods A) $3,000,000 B) $2,631,204 C) $3,000,018 D) $3,318,078
Answer:
The correct option is B,$2,631,204
Explanation:
The amount Wine corporation would realize from the sale of the bonds is the present value of all cash flows payable by the bond which includes the annual interest payments as well as the principal repayment in 10 years.
amount of interest payment=$3,000,000*8%=$240,000
The $240,000 would be received by investors for 10 years
The principal is the face value of $3000,000 payable in year ten
Present of face value=$3,000,000*0.3855=$1156500
present value of all interest payments=$240,000*6.1446=$1474704
Total present values=$1474704 +1156500 =$2631204
10-20 Royal Cigar Company is preparing a budget for cash collections. Its sales for November and December are estimated as $90,000 and $100,000, respectively. Past practice indicates that sales in any given month are collected as follows: month of sale, 75%; month following the month of sale, 20%; uncollectible accounts, 5%. The company allows a 2% discount for cash collections in the month of sale. What is the net cash estimated to be collected in December
Answer:
$91,500
Explanation:
Given that cash collection pattern is as follows; month of sale, 75%; month following the month of sale, 20%; and a 2% discount for cash collections in the month of sale, it means that cash estimated for collection in December will include;
75% sales in December (net of the 2% discount to be given)20% sales in NovemberDiscount for December cash collection
= 2% * 75% * $100,000
= $1500
Hence, net cash estimated to be collected in December
= 75% * $100,000 + 20% * 90,000 - $1500
= $75,000 + $18,000 - $1500
= $91,500
The estimated net cash collection for the Royal Cigar Company in December, is calculated considering both the sales of December and the collections from November sales. Applying their discount and collections ratio, it results in a 73% collection from December's $100,000 sales, and 20% from November's $90,000 sales. Adding these together ($73,000 + $18,000), the net cash collection for December is estimated to be $91,000.
Explanation:To find the net cash collected by the Royal Cigar Company in December, you need to take into account both the sales made in December and the sales made in November that will be collected in December, while considering the percentages of payment month, discounts, and uncollected accounts.
First, let's calculate the cash collected from the sales made in December. We know that 75% of the sales are collected in the month of the sale, but there's a 2% discount, which means 73% of the $100,000 sales, which equals to $73,000.
Then, we add the cash collected from November sales in December, which, according to the company practice is 20% of the total November sales, so this is 20% of $90,000, which is $18,000.
We then sum the two amounts: $73,000 from December sales and $18,000 from November sales. So, the total estimated net cash collection in December is $91,000.

Assume that a firm separately determined inventory under FIFO and LIFO and then compared the results. a. In each dropdown that follows, select the correct sign [less than ( <), greater than (> ), or equal (=)] for each comparison, assuming periods of rising prices. 1. FIFO inventory LIFO inventory 2. FIFO cost of goods sold LIFO cost of goods sold 3. FIFO net income LIFO net income 4. FIFO income taxes LIFO income taxes b. Why would management prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices? Income shown on the company’s tax return would be lower if LIFO rather than FIFO is used. Income shown on the company’s tax return would be higher if LIFO rather than FIFO is used. Cost of goods sold shown on the company’s income statement would be lower if LIFO rather than FIFO is used. Dividends shown on the company’s financial statements would be higher if LIFO rather than FIFO is used.
Answer and Explanation:
As per the data given in the question,
a)
1. FIFO inventory > LIFO inventory
(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first or sold first so the remaining inventory are old inventory which is less costlier.)
2. FIFO cost of goods sold < LIFO cost of goods sold
(Because in case of LIFO recent purchases are considered in production first which are expensive so the cost of production is greater than FIFO.)
3. FIFO net income > LIFO net income
(Because cost of production is less under FIFO and the value of closing inventory is high, therefore the net income is also high.)
4. FIFO income taxes > LIFO income taxes
(Since, income is high in FIFO, therefore the tax under FIFO will be higher.)
b) Management would like prefer to use LIFO over FIFO in periods of rising prices because Income shown in the company's Tax return will be higher if we use FIFO rather than using LIFO.
Riverboat Adventures pays $120,000 plus $20,000 in closing costs to buy out a competitor. The real estate consists of land appraised at $22,100, a building appraised at $66,300, and paddle boats appraised at $81,600. Compute the cost that should be allocated to the building.
Answer:
$54,600
Explanation:
The computation of the cost that should be allocated to the building is shown below
Total purchase cost is
= $120,000 + $20,000
= $140,000
Total appraisal value is
= $22,100 + $66,300 + $81,600
= $170,000
Now cost allocated to building is
= Purchase cost × building appraisal value ÷ Total appraisal value
= $140,000 × $66,300 ÷ $170,000
= $54,600
We simply applied the above formula
