Answer:

$69,899.2

Explanation:

The calculation of estimated inventory is shown below:-

Retail value of goods available for sale = retail price of beginning inventory + retail price of purchases

= $122,000 + 482,000

= $604,000

Difference =  Goods available for sale at retail price - Actual sales made

= $604,000 - 492,000

= $112,000

Cost to retail price ratio = (Cost of beginning inventory + Cost of purchases) ÷ (Retail price of beginning inventory + Retail price of purchases)

= ($63,000 + $314,000) ÷ ($122,000 + $482,000)

= $377,000 ÷ $604,000

= 62.41%

Ending inventory = Difference × Cost retail ratio

= $112,000 × 62.41%

= $69,899.2

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

Interest Receivable (Dr.)           $250

            Interest Revenue (Cr.)                $250

Explanation:

Notions Co. has borrowed money from Lemming and will have to pay cost for it which is a source of fund (revenue) for Lemming. According to the Accrual concept of accounting, revenue should be recognized when earned and not when cash is received.  At year end, the interest revenue of two months has been accrued, so it needs to be recognized in the Books of Lemming.

⇒ 18,750 * 8% = 1,500 p.a.

OR Interest Revenue for two months = (1,500/12) * 2 = $250.

Bachmann Products, Inc., has found that new products follow a learning curve. The first two units have been completed with the f
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours

Explanation:

<u><em>The learning curve theory</em></u><em> states that as the cumulative output doubles the cumulative average time taken till date is reduced to a certain percentage of the previous time. This percentage is called learning rate</em>

Total time = Average time × cumulative number of units

The cumulative average time is determined using the formula below:

Y= aX^b

a - time taken for the first unit produced

b = log LR/Log 2

X- cumulative units till date

Y - cumulative average time taken for X units

LR- Learning rate

LR = 68/80 = 0.85 = 85%

<em>Time needed to complete the 4th unit</em>

= Learning rate × time take for the 2 unit

= 85% × 68

= 57.80 hours

Time needed to complete the 4th unit = 57.80 hours
