Crane Inc. took a physical inventory at the end of the year and determined that $834000 of goods were on hand. In addition, the following items were not included in the physical count. Crane, Inc. determined that $94000 of goods purchased were in transit that were shipped f.o.b. destination (goods were actually received by the company three days after the inventory count). The company sold $41500 worth of inventory f.o.b. destination that did not reach the destination yet. What amount should Crane report as inventory at the end of the year?
Answer:
$834,000+$41,500 = $875,500
Explanation:
Generally, F.O.B. terms determines which party would include stock in transit in inventory. Goods in transit in any case always belongs to the party holding legal ownership. When the goods in transit are sold F.O.B. destination, they belong to the purchaser only when they arrive at their final destination. When the goods in transit are sold F.O.B. shipping point, they belong to the purchaser once they shipped by the seller.
Applying the above to the scenario, the $94000 of goods purchased were in transit that were shipped f.o.b. destination, will not be included in inventory but the goods sold $41500 worth of inventory f.o.b. destination that did not reach the destination yet, will have to be included.
Therefore Inventory figure should be the $834,000 in stock plus the $41,500 sold goods in transit, on the terms of f.o.b destination.

There are 100 consumers, each of whom values a concert ticket at a unique whole number dollar amount between $1 and $100. One customer is willing to pay $1, a second is willing to pay $2, a third is willing to pay $3, and so on. An unlimited number of concert tickets are on sale for $15 each. Create a simple demand curve to represent this scenario and using that curve calculate the total consumer surplus. What is the total consumer surplus in this market?
A) $3,612.50
B) $4.250.00
C) $4,887.50
D) $5,000.00
Answer:
A) $3,612.50
Explanation:
There are 85 (= 100 - 15) customers willing to purchase concert tickets that will have some consumer surplus. The first 14 will not purchase the tickets since they value the concert less than $15 and the customer that values the concert at $15 wouldn't have any consumer surplus.
Consumer surplus is the difference between the amount of money a consumer is willing to pay for a good or service, and the actual price of the good or service. In this case consumer surplus goes from $1 to $85. Average consumer surplus = 1/2 x $85
We can calculate it by drawing a graph or by using the following equation:
average consumer surplus x number of consumers = (1/2 x $85) x (100 - 15) = $3,612.50
Dynamic Production Services started the year with total assets of $130,000 and total liabilities of $50,000. The company is a sole proprietorship. The revenues and the expenses for the year amounted to $100,000 and $60,000, respectively. During the year, there were no new capital contributions and the owner withdrew $45,000. Calculate Dynamicʹs net income for the year.
A) $60,000.
B) $130,000.
C) $40,000.
D) $100,000.
Answer:
C) $40,000.
Explanation:
As we know, the net income is a difference between the total revenues and the total expenditure incurred
Net income = Total revenues earned - Total expenditure incurred
= $100,000 - $60,000
= $40,000
By subtracting the total expenses from the total revenues we can find out the net income and the same method is applied in the above calculation
If a product is repaired under warranty, the seller would record a journal entry that includes a ________.a. debit to Product Warranty Payable. b. credit to Product Warranty Payable. c. debit to Supplies. d. debit to Cash.
Answer: Debit to Product Warranty Payable
Explanation: Product Warranty Payable is a liability account that has a credit balance. To increase a liability a credit is recorded while to reduce a liability a debit is recorded to the liability.
The seller maintains the warranty as a liability and initially records a debit to its product warranty expense and a credit to its product warranty Payable.
When a repair is done on a product under warranty, the seller records a debit to the product warranty Payable to reduce it’s liability.
Also, a debit to either supplies or cash will increase the expense and assets accounts respectively which will amount to incorrect journal entries.

Which of the following are acceptable formats for reporting comprehensive income?
I. In one continuous financial statement
II. In a statement of changes in equity
III. In a separate statement of net income
IV. In two separate but consecutive financial statements
Final answer:
Comprehensive income can be reported either in one continuous financial statement combining the income statement and comprehensive income, or in two separate but consecutive financial statements. The statement of changes in equity is not a format for comprehensive income, and a separate statement of net income does not represent it fully.
Explanation:
The acceptable formats for reporting comprehensive income are:
In one continuous financial statement, which combines the income statement and comprehensive income.
In two separate but consecutive financial statements, where the first is the income statement, followed by a statement of comprehensive income which starts with net income.
Option II, 'in a statement of changes in equity,' is not a format for the comprehensive income statement itself but can include the information. Option III, 'in a separate statement of net income,' is incorrect because while the statement of net income is part of comprehensive income, it does not represent the comprehensive income in its entirety.
Final answer:
Comprehensive income can be reported either in one continuous financial statement or across two separate but consecutive financial statements; options I and IV. The statement of changes in equity and a separate statement of net income don't include comprehensive income reporting.
Explanation:
Acceptable formats for reporting comprehensive income include:
In one continuous financial statement, which may be referred to as a Statement of Comprehensive Income. This report combines both net income and other comprehensive income into one cohesive document.In two separate but consecutive financial statements. This involves presenting the traditional income statement first to show net income, followed immediately by a second statement that begins with net income and displays the components of other comprehensive income.The statement of changes in equity and a separate statement of net income are not used to report comprehensive income. The statement of changes in equity is more concerned with the changes in equity throughout the period, while a separate statement of net income only portrays net income and does not include the other comprehensive income items required to present comprehensive income fully.
The comprehensive income can be understood as the total change in equity for a period that is not caused by transactions with owners. This includes all revenues, expenses, gains, and losses that affect an entity's equity during that period, which are not the result of dividend distributions or equity capital transactions, such as the issue or buyback of shares.
You are a financial manager in a public corporation. One of your engineers says that they can increase the profit margin on your flagship product by using a lower quality vendor. However, the product is likely to fail more often and will generally not last as long. Will taking your engineer's suggestion necessarily make shareholders better off? Why or why not?
Answer:
No, the particular suggestion never makes shareholders better off.
Explanation:
No, it isn't necessarily going to make investors better off.
Although we are cutting costs, that could boost earnings in the short term, we will deal with much more expensive permit problems and lost public image with our customers, possibly leading them to purchase from our rivals, that in the longer term would decrease cash flow.
Having a commodity less expensive but of lesser quality is not the same as increasing the value of the shares.therefore, we have to reject this offer.

All of the following statements about decision style are true EXCEPTA) autocratic styles are authority-based.B) decision styles are consistent among top managers.C) heuristic styles can also be democratic.D) decision styles may vary among lower-level managers.
Answer:
B. decision styles are consistent among top managers
Explanation:
Decision making styles differ between managers. Many managers exercise autocratic style which is authoritative wherein very limited inputs from the subordinates are taken and there is little scope for constructive advises.
In heuristic style, the strategies help managers to take clear cut decisions in a prompt manner. In such a form, decisions are arrived at quickly.
Managerial decision making methods differ from manager to manager and are an outcome of managers own judgement and demeanor.
Hence it is evident from above points that decision styles are not consistent among top managers.
involves the actual taking of cash, inventory, information, or other assets whereas _______ involves selling stolen assets or transferring them into cash and then spending the cash.
Answer:
1. Theft 2. Conversion
Explanation:
The consequence of a dishonest action such as theft is usually dependent on the type of theft committed by the perpetrator. It is also determined by the role played by the thief.
The common type is the one actually referred to as theft and it involves taking cash, goods, information, assets. This type of theft can be physically done or virtually or electronically.
However, Conversion is also a kind of theft but it represents the transference or conversion and sales of stolen asset into cash form and conversion as a form of theft also involves the actual spending of the cash. Once an income through trade or sales is generated from stolen goods then theft by conversion is established.
This is the reason why both the thief of a good and the seller/keeper of the stolen item are implicated by the law upon discovery.

"My grandfather had polio when he was young."2. "I have been a vegetarian for several months now."3. "Things have been stressful at work lately."4. "We have been in the final preparations for a trip overseas."
Answer:
4. We have been in the final preparation for a trip overseas- CORRECT
Explanation:
The information or statement that should be taken as most important will depend on relatedness, severity and possible degeneration.
Option 4 is correct because immunizations are usually given when preparing for oversea trips and the danger is that immunizations are possible triggers of the onset of the neurological symptoms of Guillain Barre syndrome.
A critical issue is that this requires further investigation because, the symptoms of the syndrome can rapidly progress. Furthermore, since it is progressing upward (which is not usually the case), it becomes an emergency case that should be treated urgently.
The greatest concern of the nurse should be to prevent respiratory compromise that may result from muscle weakness of the respiratory system
Note: Guillain Barre syndrome represents autoimmune disease that will usually affect areas such as swallowing, speech, facial expression and respiration.
The opportunity cost of attending college is:_____________
a) tuition and books.
b) travel expenses, tuition, and books.
c) psychic costs of missing your family and friends while in school.
d) lost wages from not working full time.
Answer:
Option (d) is correct.
Explanation:
Opportunity cost refers to the benefits that would be obtained from the next best alternative. It can be measured in monetary terms as well as in non-monetary terms.
In our case, the opportunity cost of attending college is the loss of money income that a person would be earn. All the other costs in the options are consider as the explicit costs such as tuition, books, travelling expenses, psychic costs, etc.
In an economic context, the opportunity cost of attending college involves more than just tuition and book costs. It includes the lost potential gain from other alternatives, most specifically, lost wages from not working full time. Non-monetary costs like missing family and friends can also be considered.
Explanation:The opportunity cost of attending college goes beyond just monetary expenses such as tuition and books. As an economic term, opportunity cost refers to the loss of potential gain from other alternatives when one alternative is chosen. In this context, the opportunity cost of attending college would include the lost wages from not working full time. This is based on the assumption that if you were not attending college, you would be working and earning an income. As such, the wages you could have earned during this time represent a cost. Likewise, non-monetary opportunity costs like psychic costs of missing your family and friends while in school can also be included but they are more subjective and vary greatly among individuals.

Assume that Eric Duffy and Johnnie Gladwin operate a partnership. Their partnership agreement states that E. Duffy receives two–thirds of the partnership income or loss and J. Gladwin receives the remaining one–third. The partnership's income statement reported net income of $90,000 for the year ending December 31. Prepare the December 31 journal entry that would be required to close the Income Summary account and allocate the net income to the two partners.
Answer:
Dr Income Summary account 90,000
Cr Capital account, E. Duffy 60,000
Cr Capital account, J. Gladwin 30,000
Explanation:
The income summary account has a credit balance, and in order to close it we must debit it against capital accounts.
Since Duffy was entitled to 2/3 of the profits, then he should receive $60,000, and the remaining $30,000 would go to Gladwin.
How can a country gain from specialization and trade? A. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has an absolute advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services. B. A country can specialize by using all available resources to produce goods and services to avoid trading with other countries. C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services. D. A country can specialize by using all available resources to invest in capital goods to promote economic growth. E. A country can specialize in producing that which is most scarce and then trade for other needed goods and services
Answer:
C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.
Explanation:
Comparative advantage is simply evaluating the opportunity cost of other benefits or costs, if the country is opting to choose for a specific category of goods for production purposes.
For example, let's say US can produce 20 Television (TV) sets and 50 Air Conditioners in a month. Here, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 Air Conditioners. Similarly, the opportunity cost of producing 1 Air Conditioner (AC) is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 TV set. Hence, US should produce Air Conditioners over TV sets as per Comparative Advantage concept.
Take another example, let's say UK can produce 50 Television (TV) sets and 20 Air Conditioners in a month. Hence, the opportunity cost of producing 1 TV set is 20/50 i.e. 0.4 Air Conditioner. On the other hand, the opportunity cost of producing 1 AC is 50/20 i.e. 2.5 TV sets. Thus, UK should produce TV sets over AC's as per Comparative Advantage model.
Hence, US should export AC's to UK and import TV sets from UK to gain from specialization and trade.
In this way nations can gain from specialization and trade by making use of Comparative Advantage theory.
It is to be noted that Absolute Advantage model of Adam Smith is also good as it highlights production of that good by a country, which it can produce in large quantities with fewer resources and minimal time than any other nation in the world. But the Comparative Advantage Model developed by David Ricardo considers opportunity cost and is much more refined than Absolute Advantage Model.
Specialization and trade allow a country to focus on producing what it does best and then trade for other needed goods and services. Option C is correct.
Explanation:The correct answer is C. A country can specialize in producing that for which it has a comparative advantage and then trade for other needed goods and services.
Specialization refers to the concentration of a country's resources and efforts on producing a particular good or service in which it has a comparative advantage. Comparative advantage is when a country can produce a good or service at a lower opportunity cost than its trading partners.
By specializing in what it does best, a country can increase its efficiency and productivity, leading to economic growth. Trade allows countries to exchange their specialized goods or services with other countries, resulting in access to a greater variety of products, lower prices, and increased overall welfare.

National savings is equal to the sum of private savings and public savings. To make our notation a bit easier, we will call national savings S, Private savings V, and public savings U. So in other words, S=V+U. If private savings 'V'= 0.75S and the total savings 'S' equals $4.20 billion, then
a) Public savings = S _____ billion, and;
b) Private savings= S _____ billion?
Answer:
a. Public savings = $1.05 billion
b. Private savings = $3.15 billion
Explanation:
Given that
Total savings, S = $4.20 billion
And
S = V+U
National Savings = Private savings + Public savings
where,
V = private savings
U = public savings
And
Private saving, V = 0.75 × S
= 0.75 × $4.20 billion
= $3.15 billion
And, the public saving would be
= National savings - private savings
= $4.20 billion - $3.15 billion
= $1.05 billion
Savings is that part of income which is left after making all the payments and managing expenses from the income. Similarly, national savings are the total savings of a nation after all the payments and expenses.
Given
Total national savings are $4.20 billion
Private savings are 75%
National savings is a sum total of public and private savings
Here,
Public savings is represented by U,
Private savings is represented by V, and
National savings is represented by S
Calculations[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm (b) \: Private\: savings &= National\:savings \times \dfrac{75}{100} \\\\\rm \: Private\: savings &= \$ 4.20 \times (\dfrac{75}{100})\\\\\rm \: Private\: savings &=\$ 4.20 \times 0.75\\\\\rm \: Private\: savings &=\$ 3.15 \:billion \end[/tex]
Therefore private savings is $3.15 billion.
(a) Similarly, public savings is a difference of national savings and Private savings.
[tex]\begin{aligned}\rm Public\: savings &= \rm National \:savings - Private\: savings \\\rm U &=\rm S-V\\\rm U&= \$4.20- \$3.15 \\\rm U &=\rm \$ 1.05 \:billion \end[/tex]
Therefore , (a) public savings are U = $1.05 billion and (b) private savings are V = $3.15 billion.

a. dividing variable cost by the number of units produced.
b. dividing fixed cost by the number of units produced.
c. multiplying total cost by the number of units produced.
d. dividing total cost by the number of units produced.
Answer:
D
Explanation:
A unit cost is the cost of producing one unit of goods or services. It is calculated by dividing the total cost (sum of fixed and variable cost) by the total number of units produced
A unit cost is computed by d. dividing total cost by the number of units produced.
d. dividing total cost by the number of units produced.
A unit cost, also known as the cost per unit, is calculated by dividing the total cost incurred by a business by the number of units produced. This calculation helps companies understand the cost associated with producing each unit of a product or providing each unit of a service. It is a fundamental concept in cost accounting and financial analysis.
Here's a breakdown of the options:
a. Dividing variable cost by the number of units produced: This would give you the variable cost per unit, not the total unit cost. Variable costs are costs that change in direct proportion to changes in production levels.
b. Dividing fixed cost by the number of units produced: This would give you the fixed cost per unit, not the total unit cost. Fixed costs remain constant regardless of the level of production.
c. Multiplying total cost by the number of units produced: This calculation would give you the total cost of producing the specified number of units, not the cost per unit. It does not yield the unit cost.
d. Dividing total cost by the number of units produced: This is the correct method for calculating the unit cost. It provides the cost incurred to produce each individual unit, taking into account both variable and fixed costs.
In summary, option (d) is the accurate method for computing the unit cost, which is essential for various financial and operational decisions, including pricing, budgeting, and cost control.
