6. Explain why the three items you have not chosen above are incorrect. (4 points)

Answer 1

Solution:

4.). The threshold of proving that the asset is current is December 31, 2023. This period will be exactly within 12 months which is required to verify that the asset is current.

 

5.). The correct formula in finding COGS or COS is b. The COS for merchandising entities is goods available for sale minus the ending amount of inventories.

The COGS formula = Beginning inventory + Purchases = Goods available for sale – Ending inventory = COGS.

 

6.). a. The COS for manufacturing entities is zero because of its value in deflation is wrong because the COS for manufacturing entities can never be equal to zero.

c. The COS for service entities is service available for sale plus the beginning service inventories is wrong because to derive the service available for sale, you add beginning inventory plus net purchases.

d. The COS for service entities is equal to the adjusted market selling price is wrong because COS is not determined by the market and cannot be equal to the market price but the costs of production and inventory are what determines COS.
