Answer:

Following are the answer to the given point.

Explanation:

In point A:

Calculating Percentage Return:

=  \frac{(27.00 - 23.00)}{23.00}  \times 100 \\ \\=  \frac{ 4}{23.00}  \times 100 \\\\= 17.39 %

In point B:

calculating the Purchase  value:

= 23.00 \ Pesos \times  ( \frac{\$ 1}{12.88 \ pesos}) \\\\ = \$ 1.7857  \ per \ share \\\\\to \text{for 1000 shares purchased for: }  \\\\= 1.7857 \times 100 \\\\  =  1785.7

calculating the sale value:

= 27.00 \ pesos  \times ( \frac{ \$ 1}{ 13.44  \ Pesos}) \\\\ = $ 2.0089 \\\\\to \text {1000 shares sold for:} \\\\= $ 2.0089 \times 1000 \\\\ = $ 2008.9

In point C:

calculating the Investmet Return:

\to \frac{( \$ 2008.9 - \$ 1785.7)}{\$ 1785.7} \times 100

=\frac{\$ 223.2}{\$ 1785.7} \times 100\\\\= 0.12499 \times 100\\\\= 12.49\  \%

In point  D:  

Due to varying currency rates, the two results are unique. That first return is more important since Joe lives in the United States, so, his real return or how much of his investment will be paid are measured.

When using the specific identification inventory method, the cost of goods sold equals the "revenues from the goods sold."

This is because the specific identification inventory method calculates each unit of n item in an inventory from when it enters the inventory until it leaves it.

The specific identification inventory method is used by many industries such as automobiles, furniture, jewelry, etc.

This method is mostly used when each unit of items can be specified easily, either through serial number, stamped receipt date, or other means of identification.

Hence, in this case, it is concluded that the specific identification inventory method is a good method to use in certain industries.
