Explanation of Solution
First in and first out (FIFO) method:
Under this method cost of units sold and units lying as ending inventory is ascertained on the first in and first out basis. It means units entered in the store first would be sold out first.

Determine whether the targets assigned by the management have been achieved or not. Write a short report on the same.
b.

Explanation of Solution
Computed cost per equivalent units:
Particulars | Cost per equivalent unit |
Materials | $ 1.60 |
Labor | $ 0.60 |
Manufacturing overhead | $ 0.36 |
Table: (4)
Targeted cost per equivalent units:
Particulars | Cost per equivalent unit |
Materials | $ 1.60 |
Labor | $ 0.80 |
Manufacturing overhead | $ 0.36 |
Table: (5)
Relevance of reported computed result and targeted result for materials, labor and manufacturing overhead:
The target determined by the management for materials and manufacturing overhead have been achieved. Only for labor the cost per equivalent unit has not achieved. The targeted cost per equivalent unit for labor was $0.80 but the actual cost per equivalent unit has been computed to $0.60. Thus, the target has been achieved and reduced further when computed using FIFO method for the computation.

The fair value of Adams’ shares used in the exchange was $37,500,000. At the time of acquisition, the book value of Baker’s shareholders’ equity was $5,000,000, and the book value of Baker’s building (25-year life) exceeded its fair value by $1,000,000. From the date of acquisition to December 31, 2021, Baker had cumulative net income of $1,300,000. For 2022, Baker reported net income of $300,000. Adams uses the complete equity method to account for its investment in Baker. There is no goodwill impairment loss for the period 2016 through 2021, but there is impairment loss of $100,000 in 2022. Baker declared no dividends during the period 2016–2022.
