Answer:

b. Be called in for an interview

Explanation:

Sure, the main purpose of a cover letter is to be called for an interview. Usually, recruiters, specially recruiters from the most wanted enterprises, receive many, many resumes or curriculum vitae.

A way to stand out among so many applicants is with the cover letter. By summarizing why you consider yourself a good candidate, why you want to work for the company, how you can contribute with the purposes of the firm, and how seriously you consider the opportunity to work with them, is with a good cover letter.

Of course, you will not be hired for the position because your cover letter was good; that will be a result of the interviews. Thus, option (b) is not correct. The other two options, are clearly out of the purposes of a cover letter, because it is aimed to the firm to which you are applying and not to your friends or others from your network.

1. Average cost periodic

Dollars $48,000+$ 105,000

= $153,000

Units $11,000+$6,000

= $17,000

153,000 / 17,000 = $9.00 Cost per unit

Cost of Goods Sold:

9,000 units × $9.00= $81,000

Ending Inventory:

8,000 units × $9.00= $72,000

2. Average cost perpetual Jan 5th sales

Dollars 48,000

Units 6000

48,000 / 6,000 = $8.00 Cost per unit

Cost of goods Sold:

Ending Inventory:

3,000 units × $8.00= $24,000

3. Average cost perpetual Jan 12th sales

Dollars 69,000

Units 8000

An investor contributes $10,000 to a limited partnership and signs a $40,000 recourse note. In the first year, the investor's di

kondaur [170]

Answer: The loss carried to the next year is $10,000

Explanation:

the initial investment = $10,000 contribution + $40,000 recourse note= $50,000 initial basis.

The income in the first year = $15,000

Therefore total sum basis = $50,000 initial investment + $15,000 income = $65,000

The cash distributed = $5,000

we deduct the cash distributed from the total sum basis

hence,

remaining basis = $65,000 - $5,000 = $60,000

since the loss = $70,000

therefore,

the remaining loss after the first year = $70,000 - $60,000 = $10,000

so $10,000 will be the unused loss carried to the next year.
