Explanation / Answer
1) Closing Inventory will be valued at the lower of its cost or net realizable value.Net realizable value (NRV) is equal to sale price less cost to sell. Net Realizable Value for each of the three products is calculated as follows:-
NRV of Y1 = Sale Price - Cost to sell (4% of Sale price)
= $3,500 - ($3,500*4%) = $3,360
NRV of Y2 = $10,800 - ($10,800*4%) = $10,368
NRV of Y3 = $1,400 - ($1,400*4%) = 1,344
Y1 will be valued at its NRV (because its NRV of $3,360 is less than the cost of $3,400). Y2 will be valued at its cost of $9,200 (as its cost of $9,200 is less than its NRV of $10,368). Y3 will also be valued at its NRV (because its NRV of $1,344 is less than the cost of $1,600).
Total value of Inventory = Product Y1+Product Y2+Product Y3
= $3,360+$9,200+$1,344 = $13,904
Hence the correct option is A2) $13,904.
2) Repaying a bank loan by issuing shares will decrease the liability of bank loan and increase the share capital (i.e. Equity) but it has no effect on total assets. Hence the correct option is A2) Have no effect on total assets.
3) Weighted Average cost of goods sold on May 2 = Total Cost of units available on May 2/Total units available
= [(25 units*$10)+(10 units*$12)]/(25+10)
= ($250+$120)/35 units = $10.57 per unit
Cost of goods sold on May 2 = 28 units*$10.57 = $296
Weighted Avg COGS on 18 Oct = (Balance of units cost on May 2+Purchase on 21 July)/Total units available
= [(7 units*$10.57)+(15 units*$14)]/(7+15)
= ($74+$210)/22 units = $12.91 per unit
Cost of goods sold on 18 Oct = 18 units*$12.91 per unit = $232.38
Total cost of goods sold = $296+$232.38 = $528.38
Hence the correct answer is A3) $525.34 (the difference is due to rounding off).
