Critique the following statement: “safety is not important in offices or retail workplaces.”

Safety is important in every workplace. Even in low-risk workplaces, there are certain occupational hazards, like musculoskeletal disorders, including carpal tunnel syndrome and repetitive stress injuries.

Safety is important to all workplaces. It may be true that some careers do not involve as much risk as others ,  but there is always a risk of a robbery or a natural disaster. Every employer is going to take safety precautions regardless if they are working in a office or a factory . 

$4,000 of cost of goods sold expense on their statement of income.

Explanation:

Depreciation on manufacturing equipment is an overhead cost which is therefore a product cost. The amount of the depreciation is first placed in the Inventory account and then transferred to the Cost of Goods Sold account when the units are sold. Since the company made 2,500 units of product and sold 2,000 units of the product , the amount of the Cost of Goods Sold account is:

$4,000

(5,000 depreciation / 2,500 units = $2 per unit

$2 per unit x 2,000 units sold = $4,000 cost of goods sold.

The remaining $1,000 of depreciation would remain in the inventory account until the time the remaining goods are sold.
