To better compare the two companies, Pickering wants you to prepare the following analysis. 1. Show the computation of BioTech's cost of goods sold in 2018 using the LIFO method. 2. Prepare summary journal entries for 2018 for BioTech l s purchases of inventory (assume all purchases are on account), sales (assume all are on account), and cost of goods sold. A T- account has been set up for inventory. Post these transactions into the T-account. The company uses the perpetual inventory method. 3. Show the computation of BioTech's cost of goods sold for 2018 using the FIFO method. 4. Compute the gross profit percentage for 2018 for both BrightWorld and BioTech using FIFO figures for both. 5. Compute the inventory turnover for 2018 for both BrightWorld and BioTech using FIFO figures for both. 6. Which company appears stronger

Who is better at multi-tasking? in business, employees are often asked to perform a complex task when their atten-tion is divided (i.e., multi-tasking). human factors (may 2014) published a study designed to determine whether video game players are better than non–video game play-ers at multi-tasking. each in a sample of 60 college stu-dents was classified as a video game player or a non-player. participants entered a street crossing simulator and were asked to cross a busy street at an unsigned intersec-tion. the simulator was designed to have cars traveling at various high rates of speed in both directions. during the crossing, the students also performed a memory task as a distraction. two variables were measured for each student: (1) a street crossing performance score (measured out of 100 points) and (2) a memory task score (measured out of 20 points). the researchers found no differences in either the street crossing performance or memory task score of video game players and non-gamers. “these results,” say the researchers, “suggest that action video game players [and non-gamers] are equally susceptible to the costs of dividing attention in a complex task”
