One of the items was sold during the year. Required: Based on this information, how much product cost would be allocated to cost of goods sold and ending inventory, assuming use of: a. LIFO b. FIFO c. Weighted average (total cost/total number) | |Cost of goods sold |Ending inventory | |LIFO |700 |800 | |FIFO |800 |700 | |Weighted Average |750 |750 | Problem 2. Teague Company purchased a new machine on January 1, 2012, at a cost of $150,000. The machine is expected to have an eight-year life and a $15,000 salvage value.

If the sales outlook for the coming three years was only 20,000,000 and B.E. continued producing at the rate of 30,000,000 units, a total of 10,000,000 units would be dumped into ending inventory at the end of each year once again reducing costs of goods sold and falsely increasing income. By the end of year 2013, B.E. Company would have 35,000,000 units sitting in ending inventory taking up space and costing money to store. Once again if the president’s bonus is based off of net income, this situation is the most favorable for a high paying bonus and encourages stockpiling inventory to inflate net income.
The Pentium chip which is the most common 1993 chip from Intel contained 3,100,000 transistors. The technology behind transistors over the years has changed, they are made smaller so that microprocessors could be fitted with more, which gives faster processors. The co-founder of Intel, Gordon E. Moore in 1965 described how the amount of transistors for integrated circuits which had doubled every year, Moore predicted that for at least the next ten years the trend would continue. Now more than forty five years later this prediction is still somewhat correct. Moore stated that this could continue another decade or two, but would eventually reach its limits at atomic levels of miniaturization.
In-depth research and analysis needs to be conducted on other companies that have created similar successful programs. They need to determine what the breakeven point will be, and when these new products will start generating a profit and then make the decision on whether or not it’s worth the investment.

First, the reactors are more of the go-getter, they put the product out first. This could be both positive and negative, you want to be able to get a head start but if consumers aren't willing to buy then sometimes you won't make profit off of certain products. "Prospector competes primarily by stimulating and meeting new market opportunities, but may not maintain strength over time in all markets it enters" (Muller pg 28). The prospector is always ahead of the game and is willing to re-structure if necessary to continue to be a top
This was the longest uninterrupted period of expansion since the government started keeping track in 1854.During this time fifteen million new jobs were created and just under twenty trillion dollars worth of good and services were produced. President Reagan inflated the DOD budget. He wanted the Americans to be ready for a war just in case if one ever happened. President Regan also had plains for what he called the “star Wars.” His Plain was to make some kind of shield that would protect us from nuclear missiles. President Reagan also deregulated the lending restrictions for savings and loans.
ACCT 550 Week 7 Homework Chapter 11: E11-4, E11-9, E11-11, E11-17 E11-4 (Depreciation Computations—Five Methods) Wenner Furnace Corp. purchased machinery for $279,000 on May 1, 2012. It is estimated that it will have a useful life of 10 years, salvage value of $15,000, production of 240,000 units, and working hours of 25,000. During 2013, Wenner Corp. uses the machinery for 2,650 hours, and the machinery produces 25,500 units. Instructions From the information given, compute the depreciation charge for 2013 under each of the following methods. (Round to the nearest dollar.)
According to the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, in 2005, the US trailed many other countries in this area and only 15-20 percent of physician’s offices and 20-25 percent of inpatient facilities utilized an EMR( electronic medical record), (Health Affairs, 2005). It has been estimated that if 90 percent of both inpatient and outpatient facilities would adopt the EMR, the savings could average $77 billion per year (Health Affairs, 2005). Just in adverse drug reactions alone, the savings could be $200,000. Kaiser Permanente, the largest private healthcare delivery system in the United States, chose to perform a business analysis after the implementation of their information systems. The initial investment was to be $3 billion dollars over 11 years for full implementation of their EMR.
