Using FIFO during inflation results in higher asset values on the balance sheet due to the higher cost of recent inventory.

Using LIFO during rising prices results in a lower inventory value on the balance sheet because older, cheaper costs are recorded.

The Double Declining Balance Method results in higher depreciation expense in the early years compared to the Straight-Line Method.

The double declining balance method results in higher depreciation expenses in the early years, leading to lower net income.

Using LIFO (Last-In, First-Out) during inflation results in lower net income due to higher cost of goods sold.

The Straight-Line Method results in consistent expense recognition, leading to stable net income over the asset's useful life.

The weighted average cost method averages the cost of all inventory items, which smooths out price fluctuations over time.

The weighted average method smooths out price fluctuations by averaging the cost of all inventory items.

Contribution margin decreases by the same amount as the increase in variable cost, which is $5.

If variable costs increase by $20, the contribution margin decreases by $20.

Contribution margin is unaffected by changes in fixed costs; it only depends on sales and variable costs.

Recording a cash sale as an expense increases expenses and creates an imbalance in the trial balance.

Not posting the expense means total debits will be understated by $1,000, affecting the balance.

The first step in the planning process is setting objectives, which provides direction for the planning efforts.

Net profit is calculated by subtracting total expenses from total revenue.

Return on equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing net income by shareholder's equity, indicating how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits.

ROI is calculated by dividing the net profit by the cost of investment and multiplying by 100.

The straight-line depreciation formula is (Cost - Salvage Value) / Useful Life.

The break-even point in units is calculated using the formula: Fixed Costs / (Selling Price - Variable Cost).

The budgeted profit margin is calculated as Budgeted Sales - Budgeted Costs.

The contribution margin ratio is calculated as Contribution Margin divided by Sales.

COGS is calculated using the formula: Opening inventory + Purchases - Closing inventory.

Current Ratio is calculated by dividing current assets by current liabilities.

The direct materials price variance is calculated using the formula: (Actual Price - Standard Price) x Actual Quantity.

The gross profit margin is calculated by subtracting the cost of goods sold from sales and then dividing by sales, indicating the percentage of revenue that exceeds the cost of goods sold.

Margin of safety is calculated as Actual Sales minus Break-even Sales.

Return on Equity (ROE) is calculated by dividing net income by shareholder's equity, indicating how effectively management is using a company’s assets to create profits.

Variance in a flexible budget is calculated as Actual Costs - Flexible Budget Costs.

Working capital is calculated using the formula: Current Assets - Current Liabilities.

Market share is calculated by dividing the total sales of the company by the total sales of the market.
