Buying goods and services not for their intrinsic value but for the purpose of impressing others is called Conspicuous consumption.

What is Conspicuous consumption?

Conspicuous consumption is the act of acquiring things or services specifically with the intention of flaunting one's wealth. When publicly displayed products and services are too expensive for other people in a person's class, conspicuous consumption is a way to demonstrate one's social position. Although it is frequently associated with the wealthy, this type of consumerism can occur in any income class.

Conspicuous consumption is characterized by buying products that are solely intended to serve as symbols of wealth, such as apparel with luxury brand labels, cutting-edge equipment and toys, and automobiles.

                               = 240000/750000

                               = 0.32

fixed cost = 182000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 182000/0.32

                                       = $568750

cont margin ration = contribution/sale

                               = 120000/600000

fixed cost = 64000

dollar sales break even = fixed cost/cont margin ratio

                                       = 64000/0.80

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

The total cost of goods sold  = $70,000

Explanation:

Given:

Initial inventory at the start of the year for Jackson Co. = $20,000

Total cost of purchases made during the year = $80,000

Inventory remaining at the end of the year = $30,000

Solution:

Total inventory for Jackson Co. during the year = \$20,000+\$80000= \$100,000

Inventory remaining at the end of the year = $30,000

The cost of the goods sold can be calculated by subtracting the remaining  inventory from the total inventory.

Thus, cost of goods sold can be given as :

⇒ \$100,000-\$30,000

⇒  \$70,000

The total cost of goods sold  = $70,000
