Answer:

annual demand = 380 * 12 = 4,560

order cost = $8.50

annual holding cost = $0.45 * 25% = $0.1125

EOQ = √[(2 * 4,560 * $8.50) / $0.1125] = 830.10 ≈ 830 units

time between placement of orders = 830 units / 4,560 units = 0.182 years = 2.18 months

reorder point = 4,560 units * 2/12 (lead time) = 760 units

A new order should be placed when the inventory level is 760 units

Octavia Corporation uses perpetual FIFO throughout the year to maintain internal records but at the end of the year adjusts thes
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

The journal entry as at the end of the year will be

End of year   Debit Cost of Goods Sold   $110,000

                                  Credit LIFO Reserve account     $110,000

Explanation:

A FIFO method of inventory maintenance is when the first in first out(FIFO) method for inventory utilizations is followed. Here, the oldest inventory is used first followed by the next oldest inventory. Suppose I have in stock inventory purchased in March and May, when the demand for use of inventory arises, the March inventory purchased will be utilized first.

LIFO method works the opposite way. In the above case, when the demand for use of inventory arises, the May inventory purchased will be utilized first.

In this case, FIFO is changed to LIFO method which gives rise to and LIFO reserve account of $50,000/- at the beginning of the year. Through the year, the difference in inventory maintenance method, further increases the LIFO reserve by $60,000/-. Hence the total reserve created due to inventory method change is $50,000+$60,000 = $110,000/-.  The change in inventory maintenance will have a direct impact on cost of goods sold(COGS). Hence COGS is debited.

storchak [24]

Answer:

Equipment 716,072.53 debit

  Lease payable   716,072.53 credit

interest expense 64,446.53 debit

   lease payable      64,446.53 credit

Explanation:

We record the lease payment present value:

C \times \frac{1-(1+r)^{-time} }{rate} = PV\\

C 100,000.00

time 12

rate 0.09

100000 \times \frac{1-(1+0.09)^{-12} }{0.09} = PV\\

PV $716,072.5277

Now we solve for the interest accrued during the year

716,072.53 x 0.09 = 64.446,53
