Solution:

1) Finished goods inventory cost $48300

2) a. Higher operating income method variable costing

2) b. Difference in reported income $26,390

1. To know the number of units remaining in closing stock :

Opening inventory + production - sales => 2200 + 19300 - 20600

                                                                => 900 units

Now,

Cost per unit under variable cost = (direct material + direct labour + variable manufacturing overhead)/ number of units manufactured

=>($573,210 + $277,920 + $185,280) / 19,300

=>$53.7 per unit

finished goods inventory cost using variable costing = $53.7*900 units                      

                                                                                      =>$48300

2) a. variable costing

Since the number of units in closing inventory reduced, the variable costing will show a higher income.

2) b. difference in reported income

= (change in closing units ) *( current year overhead absorption)

here,

change in closing units = 2,200 units - 900 units

                                       =>1300 units

current year overhead absorption = fixed manufacturing overhead / units produced.

=> 391,790 / 19,300 units

=>$20.3 per unit

now,

difference in reported income = $20.3 * 1,300 units

                                                  =>$26,390

An ad agency creates two ads for a particular car. One stresses the car's safety and gas mileage; the other simply shows how fun
Kay [80]

The first ad relies on the Central route to persuasion; the second, on the Peripheral route .

<u>Explanation: </u>

Advertising is a payment of the messages sent by those who send them to notify or affect the recipients, as defined by the British Advertising Association.

The central route to convincing takes place when the substance of a message persuades a person. The peripheral way to persuade takes place when a person is convinced by something other than the content of the post.

The peripheral route often occurs if a listener is convinced that there are many points in a text— but there is no ability or incentive to care about each one individually. In other terms, secondary data such as the identity of the source (credibility) or many claims in a single message is shortcut.
