Answer:
Purchases= $330,000
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Sales:
August $540,000
September $580,000
Abet's cost of goods sold is 60% of sales dollars.
Abet wants a merchandise inventory balance equal to 25% of the following month's expected cost of goods sold.
<u>To calculate the purchases for August, we need to use the following formula:</u>
Purchases= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory
Purchases= (540,000*0.6) + (580,000*0.6)*0.25 - (540,000*0.6)*0.25
Purchases= 324,000 + 87,000 - 81,000
Purchases= $330,000

Another instance could occur after exercising, I'm given 3 bottles of coke, after taking my first bottle, the amount of utility I derive would reduce until I get to the third bottle, at this point I've reached my peak.
The law of diminishing marginal utility failed for someone I know who had used the same type of toothpaste and brushed her teeth at least once a day for a period of over 10 years.
