Answer:

LIFO (Last-in-last-out)

Explanation:

Last in last out is the method of inventory valuation where the unit that was added in inventory last would be sold first. In case, of rising prices, the unit added in inventory would cost more than the one added first. So, if LIFO is used in case of rising prices, cost of goods sold would be higher. If COGS is higher, income will fall, thereby reducing tax liability.

So, if the firm wants to pay lower taxes during price rise, it should opt for LIFO method to value inventory.

A company earned $2,880 in net income for October. Its net sales for October were $12,000. Its profit margin is:
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

profit margin = 23.33%

Explanation:

profit margin = net profit /  net sales

  • net profit = $2,800
  • net sales = $12,000

profit margin = $2,800 / $12,000 = 0.233333 = 23.33%

The profit margin is a profitability ratio used to compare how many cents different companies are able to make from selling $1. Different companies have different sales levels, but we can group companies by industries and then compare them in order to determine which ones are more efficient at generating income. E.g. Company A sells $100 million but only makes $2 million in profits per year (PM = 2%), and it is much less efficient than Company B that sells $10 million and makes $1 in profits (PM  = 10%). Company A's costs are too high compared to Company B's costs.
