Q Co. prepares monthly income statements. A physical inventory is taken only at year end; hence, month-end inventories must be e
Dmitriy789 [7]

Answer:

$14,000

Explanation:

Sale made = Accounts Receivable on 30 June + Collections of accounts - Accounts Receivable on 1 June

= $15,000 + $25,000 - $10,000

= $30,000

Cost of goods sold = Sales made ÷ rate of mark-up on cost

= $30,000 ÷ 150% × 100%

= $20,000

Estimated cost of the June 30 inventory = Inventory Balance on June 1 +  Purchases made during June -  Cost of goods sold

= $18,000 + $16,000 - $20,000

= $34,000 - $20,000

= $14,000

"Some business and political leaders argue that offshoring is dangerous because it can move jobs from developed countries to les
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer and Explanation:

Arguments for U.S. Company offshoring:

1. Cost savings:

Companies usually offshore manufacturing or services to developing countries where wages are low, thus resulting in cost savings. These savings are passed on to the customers, shareholders and managers of these companies.

2. Skills:

The competitive advantage of nations often means that some countries or regions develop a much better ecosystem for certain types of industries. This means there is better availability of skilled human resources in that region for specific types of tasks. For example, India and the Philippines have a large pool of English-speaking, college educated youth; as well as a mature training infrastructure; that makes it ideal for business process outsourcing. Therefore, many companies choose to offshore certain business functions (e.g. call centers for customer support) to these locations.

Arguments for U.S. Company offshoring:

1. Quality Control:

While companies can set quality standards for work performed by foreign employees, language and cultural barriers, as well as overseas supply chains, can present barriers to quality control. Products made overseas can be flawed because of out-of-date or worn equipment in overseas factories, or substandard raw materials. In 2000, for example, Masterlock had to recall more than 750,000 locks made in China. Worn dies at the Chinese factory produced locks that could be pulled apart without a key.

2. Public Image:

In times of high unemployment in the United States, sending jobs out of the country can hurt a company’s public image. Fewer regulations in other countries can make it less expensive for American factories to operate, but environmental damage and labor abuses that make the news can tarnish the image of companies involved there. Consumers have organized boycotts against companies that use child labor or sweatshops to produce clothing and shoes. In response, companies such as Nike, Dell and Gap have established codes of conduct for their suppliers.

In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm should shut down whenever minimum average variable cost exceeds price minimum ave
Pepsi [2]

Answer:

A. minimum average variable cost exceeds price.

Explanation:

In a perfect competition, there are many buyers and sellers of homogeneous products, and there is free entry and exit in the market.

This simply means that, in a perfectly competitive market, there are many buyers and sellers (price takers) of homogeneous products (standardized products with substitute) and the market is free (practically open) to all individuals or business entities that are willing to trade all their goods and services.

Hence, a perfectly competitive market is characterized by the following features;

1. Perfect information.

2. No barriers, it is typically free.

3. Equilibrium price and quantity.

4. Many buyers and sellers.

5. Homogeneous products.

Examples of a perfectly competitive market are the Agricultural sector, e-commerce and the foreign exchange market

In the short run, a perfectly competitive firm should shut down whenever minimum average variable cost exceeds price.

However, the firms always strive to maximize profits by increasing their level of output, such that P = MC. Also, the firms wouldn't be willing to leave or enter into the market because they are not making any profit, such that P=AC.
