This choice does, however, affect how individual shareholders’ accounts are reported in the balance sheet. Formally retiring shares restores the balances in both the common stock account and paid-in capital - excess of par to how those balances would have looked if the shares never had been issued. Any net increase in assets produced from the sale and ensuing repurchase is reflected as Paid-in capital—share repurchase. On the other hand, any net decrease in assets resulting from the sale and subsequent repurchase is repeated as a subtraction of retained earnings. Inversely, when a share repurchase is seen as treasury stock, the cost of the treasury stock is naturally disclosed as a decrease in total shareholders’ equity.

By following the matching principle all of the costs associated with a particular product, not just its wholesale price, is expensed when the item is sold. Requirement 2 - A Generally, the lower of cost or market method is used to value inventory in order to “avoid reporting inventory at an amount greater than the benefits it can provide” (Spiceland, Sepe, & Nelson, 2013, p. 476). According to Spiceland, Sepe, and Nelson (2013) the “change in replacement cost usually is a good indicator of the direction of change in selling price” (p. 477). When the change in replacement cost is negative the LCM method allows companies to apply the conservatism principle. The conservatism principle involves “recognizing expenses and liabilities as soon as possible when there is uncertainty about the outcome, but to only recognize revenues and assets when they are assured of being received” (The conservatism principle).

EGT1 TASK 1 McConnell, Brue and Flynn define Marginal Revenue as “the change in total revenue that results from the sale of one additional unit of a firm’s product; equal to the change in total revenue divided by the change in the quantity of the product sold.” (McConnell, Brue and Flynn, 2012). When we look at the relationship between total revenue and marginal revenue we can see that it is purely a mathematical relationship. The formula that is used to determine Total Revenue is the following; Total Revenue = Price X Quantity, (TR = P X Q). McConnell, Brue and Flynn also define Marginal Cost they state that it is “the extra cost of producing one more unit of output; equal to the change in total cost divided by the change in output.” (McConnell, Brue and Flynn 2011). The marginal cost and total cost is directly related to each other.
