Problem 1: Textbook problem M6-18 (page 6-39) (Please refer to the textbook - 'Financial Accounting for MBAs" by Easton et al.) Assume 1,600 units are sold, instead of 2,000 given in the book. Also assume that the income tax rate is at 40% flat. Fill the answer below: LO6-1 M6-18. Computing Cost of Goods Sold and Ending Inventory Under FIFO, LIFO, and Average Cost Assume that Madden Company reports the following initial balance and subsequent purchase of inventory. Inventory begins at beginning of year, Inventory purchased during the year. 1,300 units 150 each 1,700 units 180 each 195,000 306,000 Cost of goods available for sale during the year. 3,000 units 501,000 b. LIFO cost of goods sold = Inventory Purchases: Beginning Inventory: 1,300 units at 150 = 195,000 Purchases: 1,700 units at 180 each = 306,000 Total Units Available for Sale: 3,000 units Units Sold: 1,600 units COGS under LIFO: From the last 1,700 units purchased at 180, we sell 1,600 units (all from this layer). Total LIFO COGS = 1,600 units x 180 = 288,000 LIFO ending inventories = After selling 1,600 units, the remaining inventory will consist of 3,000 (total units available) - 1,600 (units sold) = 1,400 remaining inventory After selling all 1,600 units from the recent purchase at 180, there will still be 100 out of the original 1,700 units left at 180. Plus we have the 1,300 units at 150 (all that remain). Total Value of Ending Inventory: (100 units x 180) + (1,300 units x 150) = 18,000 + 195,000 = 213,000. LIFO Ending Inventories = 213,000 Problem 2: Follow-up to Problem 1 (above): Assume in the next year (Year 2), assume that Madden Corp purchases 1,500 units of inventory at a unit price of 170 and sold 2,000 units. For this second year, answer the following questions: a.) LIFO cost of goods sold = b.) LIFO ending inventories =
Morocco Corporation Budgeted Income Statement Sales. 30,000,000 Cost of Goods Sold: Fixed 17,900,000 Gross Margin. Selling and Admin. Expenses: 9,800,000 5,400,000 800,000 3,200,000 9,400,000 400,000 Since completion of the above statement, Morocco's management has learned that the independent sales agents are demanding an increase in the commission rate to 20% of sales for the upcoming year. This would be the third increase in commissions demanded by the independent sales agents in five years. As a result, Morocco's management has decided to investigate the possibility of hiring its own sales staff to replace the independent sales agents. Morocco's controller estimates that the company will have to hire eight salespeople to cover the current market area, and the total annual payroll cost of these employees will be about 700,000, including fringe benefits. The salespeople will also be paid commissions of 10% of sales. Travel and entertainment expenses are expected to total about 600,000 for the year. The company will also have to hire a sales manager and support staff whose salaries and fringe benefits will come to about 200,000 per year. To make up for the promotions that the independent sales agents had been running on behalf of Morocco, management believes that the company's budget for fixed advertising expenses should be increased by 500,000. Required: 1. (4 points) Assuming sales of 30,000,000, construct a budgeted contribution margin format income statement for the upcoming year with the following alternatives: a. The independent sales agents' commission rate stays the same at 18%. b. The independent sales agents' commission rate increases to 20%. c. The company employs its own sales force. 2. (2 points) Calculate Morocco's break-even point in sales dollars next year for each of these alternatives: a. The independent sales agents' commission rate stays the same at 18%. b. The independent sales agents' commission rate increases to 20%. c. The company employs its own sales force. 3. (2 points) Refer to your answer in (1)(b) above. If the company employs its own sales force, what volume of sales would be necessary to generate the same net operating income the company would generate in (1)(b) above? 4. (2 points) Determine the volume of sales at which net operating income would be equal regardless of whether Morocco Corporation sells through agents (at a 20% commission rate) or employs its own sales force.

Listed below are the amounts of net worth (in millions of dollars) of the ten wealthiest celebrities in a country. Construct a 95% confidence interval. What does the result tell us about the population of all celebrities? Do the data appear to be from a normally distributed population as required? 249 202 187 175 162 153 153 153 150 148 150.2 million < mu < 196.2 million (Round to one decimal place as needed.) What does the result tell us about the population of all celebrities? Select the correct choice and, if necessary, fill in the answer box(es) to complete your choice. A. We are 95% confident that the interval from million to million actually contains the true mean net worth of all celebrities. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) B. We are confident that 95% of all celebrities have a net worth between million and million. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) C. Because the ten wealthiest celebrities are not a representative sample, this doesn't provide any information about the population of all celebrities. Do the data appear to be from a normally distributed population as required? Choose the correct answer. A. No, because there is a systematic pattern that is not a straight line pattern. B. No, but the points in the normal quantile plot lie reasonably close to a straight line and show some systematic pattern that is a straight line pattern. C. Yes, but the points in the normal quantile plot do not lie reasonably close to a straight line or show a systematic pattern that is a straight line pattern. D. Yes, because the pattern of the points in the normal quantile plot is reasonably close to a straight line.
