In its 2016 third-quarter report, the company reported Cost of Goods Sold of $880 million, ending inventory for the third quarter of $1,900 million, and ending inventory for the previous quarter of $1,500 million. Estimate merchandise purchases for the third quarter.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

$1,280 million

Explanation:

The change between the opening inventory balance and the ending inventory balance for a period is as a result of the purchases of inventory and the sale of inventory during the period.

All of these elements are related as;

Opening inventory + purchases - cost of goods sold = ending inventory

As such, to estimate the merchandise inventory purchased,

let the purchase for the period be T

1500 + T - 880 = 1900 (All amounts in millions of $)

T = 1900 + 880 - 1500

= 1280

The merchandise purchases for the third quarter is $1,280 million.

"Every individual necessarily labors to render the annual revenue of the society as great as he can. He generally indeed neither intends to promote the public interest, nor knows how much he is promoting it. He intends only his own gain, and he is in this, as in many other cases, led by an invisible hand to promote an end which was no part of his intention. By pursuing his own interest he frequently promotes that of the society more effectually than when he really intends to promote it.

b. True or false: an income elasticity of demand of 0.45 for all medical products implies that consumption will be higher among low-income people than among high-income groups. Explain

Answers

Answer:

False.

Explanation:

Elasticity of demand is a measure of the responsiveness of changes in demand to change in price.

The value of elasticity shows type of good. Negative elasticity indicates that a good is inferior, and people will buy it when their income is low. But once income rises they will buy more luxurious goods. That is not the case here as elasticity is positive.

When elasticity is positive the good is a normal good and increase in income will result in increase in amount demanded of the good.

In the scenario give a positive elasticity of 0.45 should result in higher consumption among higher income people than lower income people.

The Miller Company earned $133,000 of revenue on account during Year 2. There was no beginning balance in the accounts receivable and allowance accounts. During Year 2, Miller collected $87,000 of cash from its receivables accounts. The company estimates that it will be unable to collect 3% of its sales on account. The net realizable value of Miller's receivables at the end of Year 2 was:

Answers

Answer:

The net realizable value of Miller's receivables at the end of Year 2 was:  $42,010

Explanation:

Open a Trade Receivable Account as follows :

Debits :

Revenue $133,000

Totals      $133,000

Credits:

Cash        $87,000

Balance   $46,000

Totals      $133,000

Note that Allowance for Doubtful debts is estimated at 3% of the Company`s Sales on Account

Allowance for Doubtful debts = $133,000 × 3%

                                                 = $ 3, 990

Net realizable value of Miller's receivables

Trade Receivable Balance                $46,000

Less Allowance for Doubtful Debts    $3,990

Trade Receivables                              $42,010

Final answer:

The net realizable value of Miller Company's receivables at the end of Year 2 is calculated by estimating bad debt and subtracting it from the ending accounts receivable. The estimated bad debt is 3% of sales, leading to a net realizable value of $42,010.

Explanation:

The question revolves around calculating the net realizable value of accounts receivable for the Miller Company at the end of Year 2. First, we need to calculate the estimated bad debt. The company estimates that 3% of its sales on account will be uncollectible, which equates to $133,000 * 0.03 = $3,990. After subtracting the cash collected from receivables, $133,000 - $87,000, we get ending accounts receivable of $46,000. Finally, we deduct the estimated bad debts from ending accounts receivable to obtain the net realizable value, which is $46,000 - $3,990 = $42,010.

Explanation:

Logistics Solutions provides order fulfillment services for dot merchants. The company maintains warehouses that stock items carried by its dot clients. When a client receives an order from a customer, the order is forwarded to Logistics Solutions, which pulls the item from storage, packs it, and ships it to the customer. The company uses a predetermined variable overhead rate based on direct labor-hours. In the most recent month, 120,000 items were shipped to customers using 2,300 direct labor-hours. The company incurred a total of $7,360 in variable overhead costs. According to the company's standards, 0.02 direct labor-hours are required to fulfill an order for one item and the variable overhead rate is $3.25 per direct labor-hour.
Required:
1. What variable overhead cost should have been incurred to fill the orders for the 120,000 items? How much does this differ from the actual variable overhead cost?
2. Break down the difference computed (1) above into a variable overhead rate variance and a variable overhead efficiency variance.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answers are as follows:

Numbers of items shipped 140000

Standard Direct labor-hours 0.03

Total direct labor- hours allowed 140000*0.03

= 4200

Standard direct labor cost per hour $3.05

Total standard direct labor cost 3.05*4200

=$12810

Actual cost incurred $15900

total standard direct labor cost $12810

Total direct labor variance = $15900-12810

$3090 F

---------

2. Labor rate variance = (Actual rate - Standard rate) x Actual hours worked

((15900/5300)-3.05)*5300

265 U

Labor efficiency variance = (Actual hours - Standard hours) x Standard rate

(5300-140000*0.03)*3.05

Universal containers has included its orders as an external data object into Salesforce. You want to create a relationship between Accounts and the Orders object (one-to-many relationship) leveraging a key field for account which is on both external object and Account. Which relationship do you create?

Answers

Answer: Indirect Lookup relationship

Explanation:

Indirect lookup relationship is used when there is no Salesforce ID in the external data. So this relationship basically links the external object which is the 'child' to the custom object which is the 'parent'.

As the question states, universal containers has included its orders as an 'external data object' into salesforce. Now it wants to create a link or relationship between accounts and orders objects. This is possible through indirect lookup relationship.
