How is it that people working in their own self-interest produce goods, services, and wealth for others?

Business

Brums [2.3K]3 years ago

Answer:

Explanation:

In order to earn money and produce goods that improve lives, self-directed gain would provide jobs, and subsequently wages for others.

The way people can become wealthy by their own efforts is to sell what they produce to others. As the business grows, labor is hired to produce more. This is the 'invisible hand' concept that turns self-directed gain into social and economic benefits for all.

Blake Company purchased two identical inventory items. The item purchased first cost $18.00, and the item purchased second cost
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

c. Ending inventory will be lower if Blake uses weighted average than if FIFO were used

Explanation:

To check which answer is correct, we simply evaluate each option step by step.

<u>Option A</u>

Gross margin is the difference between selling price and cost.

Under FIFO gross margin is $14. (32 -18 =14)

Under LIFO gross margin is $13. (32-19 = 13)

Thus statement is incorrect as gross margin is higher if FIFO is used.

<u />

<u>Option B</u>

If FIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $19 as ending inventory will contain product purchased later that is at $19. In contrast, if LIFO is used, the dollar amount of ending inventory will be $18. Thus the statement becomes incorrect that it will be the same.

<u />

<u>Option C</u>

The ending inventory under FIFO is $19.

The ending inventory under LIFO is $18

The endng inventory under AVCO or weighted average will be, 18+19 / 2 = 18.5

Thus the statement is correct as the ending inventory under weighted average $18.5 is lower than ending inventory under FIFO $19. So, C is the correct Answer.
