Tim Legler requires an estimate of the cost of goods lost by a fire on March 9. Merchandise on hand on January 1 was $38,490. Purchases since January 1 were $93,260; freight-in, $4,700; purchase returns and allowances, $3,000. Sales are made at 33 1/3% above cost and totaled $143,400 to March 9. Goods costing $12,120 were left undamaged by the fire; remaining goods were destroyed.(a) Compute the cost of goods destroyed.(b) Compute the cost of goods destroyed, assuming that the gross profit is 33 1/3% of sales. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 5 decimal places, e. g. 78.72345% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e. g. 28,987.)

(a) Cost of goods destroyed = $13,780

(b) Cost of goods destroyed = $25,730

Explanation:

(a) Compute the cost of goods destroyed.

Markup = Percentage at which sales are made above cost = 33 1/3% = 33.33333%

Margin = Markup / (1 + Markup) = 33.33333% / (1 + 33.33333%) = 25%

Sales = Cost of goods sold * (100% + Markup) (1)

Substituting relevant value into equation (1) and solve for Cost of goods sold, we have:

$143,400 = Cost of goods sold * (100% + 33.33333%)

Cost of goods sold = $143,400 / (100% + 33.33333%) = $107,550

Cost of goods available for sale = Merchandise on hand on January 1 + Purchases since January 1 + Freight-in + Purchase returns and allowances = $38,490 + $93,260 + $4,700 - $3,000 = $133,450

Closing stock = Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold = $133,450 - $107,550 = 25,900

Cost of goods destroyed = Closing stock - Cost of goods left undamaged = $25,900 - $12,120 = $13,780

(b) Compute the cost of goods destroyed, assuming that the gross profit is 33 1/3% of sales. (Round ratios for computational purposes to 5 decimal places, e.g. 78.72345% and final answer to 0 decimal places, e.g. 28,987.)

Margin = gross profit percentage of sales = 33 1/3% = 33.33333%

Markup = Margin / (1 - Margin) = 33.33333% / (1 - 33.33333%) = 50%

Sales = Cost of goods sold * (100% + Markup) (1)

Substituting relevant value into equation (1) and solve for Cost of goods sold, we have:

$143,400 = Cost of goods sold * (100% + 50%%)

Cost of goods sold = $143,400 / (100% + 50%) = $95,600

Cost of goods available for sale = $133,450

Closing stock = Cost of goods available for sale - Cost of goods sold = $133,450 - $95,600 = 37,850

Cost of goods destroyed = Closing stock - Cost of goods left undamaged = $37,850 - $12,120 = $25,730

The hawthorne works was a large western electric factory with 45,000 employees. during the 1920s and 1930s, hawthorne works was the site of some well-known industrial studies. in one of the studies, researchers investigated the impact of different working conditions on worker productivity. prior to the start of the study, researchers secretly measured workers' productivity for several weeks. then researchers chose two workers, who then chose their own teams. the teams were separated from the general workforce and completed their work in different experiment rooms where the researchers could observe them more easily. over a 5-year period researchers manipulated the structure of the workday for each team (number and duration of breaks and number of hours per shift). for each of these changes in working conditions, the researchers measured the effect on productivity. for some conditions, such as frequent short breaks, workers rebelled by intentionally decreasing productivity.why did the researchers secretly measure the workers' productivity before creating the two treatment groups? a, to create similar treatment groups so that a cause-and-effect relationship could be establishedb, to draw conclusions about the productivity of all workers in the plant based on the test groupsc, to directly control for confounding variablesd, to provide a baseline for measuring worker productivity
