<h3>Hello there!</h3>

Your question asks which is a fast and reliable source for emergency supplies that are needed overseas.

<h3>Answer: B). Airfreight</h3>

The reason why answer choice "B). Airfreight" is the correct answer because this is the distribution system that is the quickest to get things overseas.

When you think about going overseas, what do you use? A plane. When you think about going somewhere international, what do you use? A plane. That is the same concept when you're sending things overseas, you would use some sort of air craft to get it overseas.

An airfreight is a really big air craft that can transport tons and tons of supplies, items, etc. An airfreight can go over the ocean and to its destination very quickly. The plane can go hundreds and hundreds of miles per hour for a long period of time. This is why people would use an air freight to deliver emergency supplies overseas.

<h3>Why the other answer choices are incorrect:</h3>

Answer choice "A). railroads" is incorrect because railroads can't go overseas. Have you seen railroads built over the ocean? Absolutely not. Therefore, trains can't go over the ocean because there's no railroads built over the ocean. This is why this answer choice is incorrect.

Answer choice "C). trucking" is incorrect because there is no road over the ocean, therefore the travel path would be cut off for the trucks. In order for the trucks to go overseas, they would need to be transported on a boat, in which would take a long time. This is why this answer choice is incorrect.

Answer choice "D). pipelines" is incorrect because pipelines don't extend to places that are overseas, and pipelines would not be a safe thing to use to get emergency equipment distributed. This is why this answer choice is incorrect.

Answer choice "E). waterways" is incorrect because water ways are just water, large bodies of water to be exact. There is no transportation system in waterways, therefore making this answer choice incorrect.

<h3>I hope this helps!</h3><h3>Best regards, MasterInvestor</h3>

Income statement information for Einsworth Corporation follows: Sales $1,500,000 Cost of goods sold 900,000 Gross profit 600,000
Semenov [28]

Answer:

A vertical analysis income statement uses Sales as a base and makes everything else a percentage of sales.

                                            Vertical Analysis Statement

                                                     Amount                     Percentage

Sales                                       $1,500,000                         100%

Cost of Goods sold                ($900,000)                          60%

Gross Profit                               $600,000                          40%

Cost of Goods sold percentage = 900,000 / 1,500,000

= 60%

Gross Profit percentage = 600,000 / 1,500,000

= 40%

A coffee distributor needs to mix a(n) Costa Rican coffee blend that normally sells for $9.50 per pound with a Kenya coffee blen
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenya coffee

Explanation:

First, we need to know the proportion of every coffee in the mix trying with different percentages until getting the result of $13,49  

 

($9,50*25%)+($13,80*75%)=$12,73  

 

($9,50*10%)+($13,80*90%)=$13,37  

 

($9,50*7,5%)+($13,80*92,5%)=$13,48  

 

($9,50*7,3%)+($13,80*92,7%)=$13,49  

 

So, the percentage of Costa Rican coffee is 7,3% and Kenya coffee is 92,7%  

And we can get the pounds required to get 70 pounds  

 

70*7,3%=5,11

 

70*92,7%=64,89

   

We need 5,11 pounds of Costa Rican coffee and 64,89 pounds of Kenyan coffee to create 70 pounds of mixed coffee that can sell for $13,49 per pound

When reporting inventory using the lower of cost or market, market should not be less than:
Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

Net realizable value less a normal profit margin.

Explanation:

Lower of cost or market rule of inventory states that cost of inventory recorded must be that at which cost is lower, and the original cost is the current market price.

This occurs when the inventory has become obsolete, market price has declined, or inventory has deteriorated

Net realisable value is defined as selling price minus estimated cost of completion.

So the market value should not be less than net realizable value less a normal profit margin.
