Scott Bestor is an accountant for Westfield Company. Early this year, Scott made a highly favorable projection of sales and prof

its over the next 3 years for Westfield's hot-selling computer PLEX. As a result of the projections Scott presented to senior management, the company decided to expand production in this area. This decision led to dislocations of some plant personnel who were reassigned to one of the company's newer plants in another state. However, no one was fired, and in fact the company expanded its workforce slightly.Unfortunately, Scott rechecked his projection computations a few months later and found that he had made an error that would have reduced his projections substantially. Luckily, sales of PLEX have exceeded projections so far, and management is satisfied with its decision. Scott, however, is not sure what to do. Should he confess his honest mistake and jeopardize his possible promotion? He suspects that no one will catch the error because PLEX sales have exceeded his projections, and it appears that profits will materialize close to his projections.Instructionsa. Who are the stakeholders in this situation?b. Identify the ethical issues involved in this situation.c. What are the possible alternative actions for Scott? What would you do in Scott's position?Post your Initial Response by Wednesday of Week 5 and 2 follow up comments by Sunday.

Derst Inc. sells a particular textbook for $140. Variable expenses are $25 per book. At the current volume of 6,000 books sold p
mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Option (B) is correct.

Explanation:

Given that,

Selling price of a product = $140 per textbook

Variable expenses = $25 per book

Books sold per year = 6,000 books (It is the break even point)

The break even point indicates that there is no profit or loss incurred at the sales.

This means that the sales revenue is equal to the total cost incurred to produced these goods.

Sales per unit - Variable cost per unit - Fixed costs per unit = 0

$140 - $25 - Fixed costs = 0

$115 = Fixed costs per unit

Therefore, the total amount of fixed cost is calculated as follows:

= Fixed cost per unit × Number of books sold

= $115 × 6,000

= $690,000

Licemer1 [7]

Answer:

B. $304,060

Explanation:

We know that

Ending balance of finished goods inventory  = Beginning balance of  finished goods inventory + Cost of Goods manufactured - Cost of Goods Sold

=  $304,560 + $290,500 - $291,000

= $304,060

We simply applied the above formula to compute the ending balance of finished goods inventory by considering the beginning balance of finished goods inventory, cost of goods manufacture and cost of goods sold.
