    1200+100x2 🤔🤔🤔

    • @bajoobiecuzican
      @bajoobiecuzican 4 года назад

      You have to take 100 units from existing stock to account for the 500 units sold. Those 100 units cost $2 each. Thus the $200 + $1200 = $1400 this gives you the cost of goods

      @@AccountingStuff Yeah and you know just to also be on the safe side, you can do on companies that have already shut down or closed. So you wont get any messages or notice from companies that you are shading them.
      For example, you can show how Enron manipulated their books. A company that has shut down.
      Now you might ask like why do on old companies or even older like some long forgotten companies, its because "Those who do not learn History are doomed to repeat it."
      There are countless ways a company has manipulated their books and so much so has been done under the sun. Would be a adventure to see how they did so, plus love learning more.

    James, could you help me, please? 😅
    I am struggling to understand the best method to use for this particular question:
    "Suppose a company bases its evaluation of the purchasing officer for a refinery on the gross margin on the oil products produced and sold during the year. During the year, the price of a barrel of oil increased from 80 to 90 dollars. The value of the inventory of oil at the beginning of the year is 80 dollars or less per barrel. On the last day of the year, the purchasing agent is contemplating the purchase of additional oil at 0USD per barrel. Is the agent more likely to purchase additional oil if the company uses the FIFO or LIFO method for its inventories? Explain."
    I appreciate your kindness. Thank you 💜
