a. the FIFO method.
b. the LIFO method.
c. the average cost method.
d. not determinable.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

c. the average cost method.

Explanation:

Windsor INC. purchased inventory during the month of June as follows:

June 1 129 units at $890

June 10 172 units at $1340

June 15 172 units at $1440

June 28 129 units at $ 1140

and at the end of the period, there are 180 units on hand.

In order to get highest gross profit the closing sock should be the highest, accordingly the value of inventory at hand should as as follows under different method explain below:

Under FIFO method the inventory first enter into the enterprise is available for sale at first so the inventory of 180 units at end should be values at the last price mentioned in the question i.e $1140, therefore the value amounts to $1140*180 units=$205200

Under LIFO method, likewise the last entered inventory will be available for sale and the inventory at the end of period will be valued at the price at which the inventory first bought i.e $890, therefore the value amounts to 180 units*$890=$160200

Under Average cost method the effect of differential price is distributed over the quantity bough during a period so that the company remains in ineffective condition during the period from the price change

Average cost per unit= (129*$890 +172*$1340+ 172*$1440+129*$1140)/602 units

=$1229.29

and for the 180 units the value amounts to 180*$122.29=$221271.429

so, as per explanation given above, it is certain that the highest value will be in average cost method.

The correct option is - c. the average cost method.

Manson Industries incurs unit costs of $6 ($4 variable and $2 fixed) in making an assembly part for its finished product. A supplier offers to make 15,000 of the assembly part at $5 per unit. If the offer is accepted, Manson will save all variable costs but no fixed costs. Prepare an analysis showing the total cost saving, if any, Manson will realize by buying the part.

Answers

Answer:

The decision should be to make the part

Explanation:

Variable cost of manufacturing = 15000x4 = 60000

Fixed cost of manufacturing = 15000 x 2 = 30000

Purchase cost = 15000x5 = 75000

Total annual cost of making = 60000 + 30000 = $90000

Total annual cost of buying is 30000 + 75000 = $105000

90000 - 105,000 = -15000

This shows that manson's cost savings would decrease by -15000

So instead of buying, it is better to make.

Suppose that Perry and Taimur both produce poems and novels. Perry’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 2 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between. Taimur’s productive capabilities are as follows. He can produce 12 poems if he spends all of his time writing poems or he can write 4 novels if he spends all of his time writing novels. He can also produce any linear combination in between.
A. Which person can produce poems at lower opportunity cost? Explain. Which person can produce novels at a lower opportunity cost? Explain.
B. Suppose that Perry and Taimur make the following deal. Perry will spend all of his time making poems and Taimur will spend all of his time making novels. Taimur will then send 1 novel to Perry and in return Perry will send Taimur 4 poems. How many poems and novels will Perry have after this trade? How may poems and novels will Taimur have after this trade?
C. I claim that after trading with Taimur, Perry can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself. Likewise, Taimur can now consume a combination of poems and novels that he never could have produced for himself after trading with Perry. Use equations and a couple of simple calculations to demonstrate that I am correct.
D. What do you think is going on here? Why can both Perry and Taimur now consume a quantity of goods that they never could have produced for themselves?

Answers

Answer:

Answer is explained in the explanation section below.

Explanation:

Solution:

a.

Perry poems = 12

Taimur Poems = 12

Perry Novels = 2

Taimur Novels = 4

Opportunity cost of Poems for Perry = 2/12 = 1/6

Opportunity cost of Poems for Taimur = 4/12 = 1/3

Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry = 12/2 = 6

Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur = 12/4 = 3

As opportunity cost of poems for Perry < Opportunity Cost of Poems for Taimur

So,

Perry can produce poems at lower opportunity cost.

And,

Opportunity cost of Novels for Taimur < Opportunity cost of Novels for Perry

SO,

Taimur can produce novels at lower opportunity cost.

b.

Perry spend all time in making poems = 12 poems

Taimur Spend all time in novel making = 4 novels

Trade ---> Taimur send 1 novel, So, he will left with 3 novels, in exchange he will get 4 poems.

So, after trade, we have:

Perry = 8 novels and 1 Poem

Taimur = 4 poems and 3 novels.

c.

The claim is correct.

This is because, Perry makes 8 poems, he is left with with only 4 novels of productivity and as his opportunity cost of novel is 6, he won't be able to produce even 1 novel, if he doesn't trade.

Let's assume Perry and Taimur both have 12 hours of time each.

Productivity of Perry --->   Poems: 12 hours/12 units = 1    Novels: 12/2 = 6

i.e. Perry need 1 hour to produce 1 poem

and 6 hours to produce 1 novel .

So, when Perry produce 8 poems, he exhaust his 8 hours. Now, he is left with 4 hours. So he cannot produce 1 novel, which require 6 hours to complete. So, after trade, he is better off.

d.

As both Perry and Taimur, produce the good, in which they have comparative advantage it lead to specialization. And when they trade the good, in which they have specialization which will lead them expand this consumption possibilities.

Surendra’s personal residence originally cost $340,000 (ignore land). After living in the house for five years, he converts it to rental property. At the date of conversion, the fair market value of the house is $320,000. As to the rental property, calculate Surendra’s basis for:________.
a. Loss.
b. Depreciation.
c. Gain.
d. Could Surendra have obtained better tax results if he had sold his personal residence for $320,000 to hold as rental property?

Answers

Answer:

a. Loss

The basis for Loss is the lower of the basis after it is adjusted for its new purpose or the fair market value.

Adjusted = $340,000

Fair market value = $320,000

Loss basis will therefore be the lower value of $320,000

b. Depreciation:

This is the same as the loss basis because the residence was converted from personal use to business use.

= $320,000

c. Gain

= Adjusted basis of the property

= $340,000

d. No.

Because he would be converting to rental property which is a business use, the loss that he would have incurred of $20,000 would have been disallowed and he wouldn't be able to deduct it.

Loss = Cost - fair value = 340,000 - 320,000 = $20,000

In fact, Native American tribes had been living on the land for thousands of years. Nonetheless, settlers often tried to expand their territory and clashed with the Native Americans who called that land home. In 1830, the US government passed the Indian Removal Act. This law allowed President Jackson to negotiate land treaties with the Cherokee, Seminole, Creek, Choctaw and Chickasaw nations. Though it was supposed to be a voluntary migration, when nations resisted, Jackson forced them to leave. The Seminole who stayed on their land were met by US military. Thousands died in years of violence known as the Seminole Wars. In 1838, the US government forced the Cherokee nation to give up their land. The Cherokees' forced migration west is known today as the Trail of Tears.
