Sidneyland is a popular theme park in Southern California that is now planning for its eventual re-opening after closing during Covid-19. In years past, New Years Eve was the single largest day of revenue earned by the park due to the high sales volume of NYE themed merchandise. However, this year it is uncertain if Sidneyland will even be opened on New Years Eve, and the time to order the 2021 apparel is approaching. The first purchase deadline is at the end of October, at which point Sidneyland can either buy the goods in full for​$100,000 or defer the decision until the end of November. At the end of November, the rush order price rises to​$150,000​. There is ​no cost nor profit if no purchase is made​. Sidneyland’s public health and data science consultants estimate that there is a​40% chance that the local Covid-19 situation improves from the end of October to the end of November, a​60% ​chance that it stays in the current most restrictive tier. If it improves, the experts predict a​90% ​chance the park is open on NYE, compared to a ​30%​ chance if it stays in the current most restrictive tier. Assuming that all goods sell for ​$200,000 if the park is open on NYE but are otherwise unsellable, answer the following questions about Sidneyland’s purchasing strategy if their goal is to maximize expected merchandise profit.

A) What are all of the different times to make a decision, and what decisions can be made at those times? ​

B) Supposing that Sidneyland defers and waits to make a decision at the end of November and supposing further that the public health scenario improves from October to November, what strategy should they take and what is the resulting expected earnings (or losses)?

C) Using the projections from the end of October, what are the expected merchandise earnings (or losses) if Sidneyland elects to defer the decision from October to November? ​

D) Using the projections from the end of October, what are the expected merchandise earnings (or losses) if Sidneyland buys the merchandise at the end of October?

E) What decision should Sidneyland make at the end of October? Explain.

d. Sale, August 31 ($100 each) (3,300 )


Assuming that for Specific identification method (item 1d) the March 14 sale was selected two-fifths from the beginning inventory and three-fifths from the purchase of January 30. Assume that the sale of August 31 was selected from the remainder of the beginning inventory, with the balance from the purchase of May 1.


Required:

  1. Compute the amount of goods available for sale, ending inventory, and cost of goods sold at December 31 under each of the following inventory costing methods: (Round intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.) Their is no more information than what is in this question.

January 24 380 $ 5.60
February 8 680 $ 4.20
March 16 380 $ 5.60
June 11 680 $ 4.20

4. Prepare journal entries to record the purchase and sale transactions, as well as the cost of sales, assuming that all sales and purchase transactions are on account and that the weighted-average method is used. (Do not round intermediate calculations and round the final answers to 2 decimal places. If no entry is required for a transaction/event, select "No journal entry required" in the first account field.)

Transaction list:

  • 1

    Record sales on account.

  • 2

    Record cost of sales on goods sold on account.

  • 5

    Record cost of sales on goods sold on account.

  • 6

    Record purchase of goods on account

  • Assume that because of a clerical error, the ending inventory is reported to be 1,080 units rather than the actual number of units (1,180) on hand.


  • 5a. If FIFO is used, calculate the amount of the understatement or overstatement in the cost of sales for the first six months of the current year.



  • 5b. If FIFO is used, calculate the amount of the understatement or overstatement in the current assets at June 30 of the current year.

  1. The watershed shown in the figure below is located in Bowling Green, Kentucky (western Kentucky).  The entire watershed is 100 acres in size and is predominantly forested (woods in good condition) before mining begins.  The soils are Macomber (HSG C) and Saragosa (HSG B) with about 50% of the entire watershed in each. These soil types do not change when mining happens.  One seam of coal is to be surface mined as indicated in the figure below (hatched area), with this strip mine land-use being considered “cultivated land without conservation treatment.”  The remaining non-mined land use remains as forested. Please feel free to treat the mining strip (hatched) area as a rectangle with the width 180 ft and length 4500 ft (18.6 acres).

  1. (2.5 points) Calculate the Curve Number for the Before Mining watershed condition
  1. (2.5 points) Determine how much of the rainfall falling on this before mining watershed would be removed as initial abstractions.  

  1. (2.5 points) Calculate the Curve Number for the After Mining watershed condition.
  1. (2.5 points) Determine how much of the rainfall falling on this after mining watershed would be removed as initial abstractions.
