The effect of the demand and supply chain can be seen in the highly volatile nature of the music industry.

Explanation:

The principles are highly accurate for many industries that are given in the article "The Effect of Price on Number of Suppliers."

This is effectively about the demand and supply chain and one can see how this applies to the people in the music industry who have to deal with these overhauls.

The industry is largely volatile and there are trends that come and go in a couple of years and with them go away whole labels and and artist.

San Lorenzo General Store uses a periodic inventory system and the retail inventory method to estimate ending inventory and cost

muminat

Answer:

The average cost of ending inventory is $37,259 and cost of goods sold for october is 24,166

Explanation:

In order to calculate the average cost of ending inventory, we would have to calculate first the cost to retail ratio with the following formula:

cost to retail ratio=Total cost/Total retail

According to the given data, the total cost=$61,425, and the total retail= $87,100, Hence:

cost to retail ratio=$61,425/$87,100= 70.5%

Also, we have to calculate the ending inventory at retail=$87,100+$1,700-$1,050-$37,00=$52,850

Therefore, the average cost of ending inventory= $52,850×70.5%

=$37,259

To calculate the cost of goods sold for october we would have to use the following formula:

cost of goods sold=Beginning inventory+purchases-ending inventory

=$40,000+$21,425-$37,259

=$24,166

A firm is reviewing an investment opportunity that requires an initial cash outlay of $336,875 and promises to return the follow

Fofino [41]

Answer:

The NPV of this investment is $64,581.75

Explanation:

Hi, we need to discount to present value all the future cash flows, the formula to use is as follows:

$NPV=-Investment+\frac{CF1}{(1+r)^{1} }+\frac{CF2}{(1+r)^{2}} +\frac{CF3}{(1+r)^{3}} +\frac{CF4}{(1+r)^{4}} +\frac{CF5}{(1+r)^{5}}$

Where

NPV = Net Present Value

CF = The cash flow stated in the problem by year

r= discount rate (in our case, 0.08 or 8%)

Now, let´s solve this.

$NPV=-336,875+\frac{100,000}{(1+0.08)^{1} }+\frac{82,000}{(1+0.08)^{2}} +\frac{76,000}{(1+0.08)^{3}} +\frac{111,000}{(1+0.08)^{4}} +\frac{142,000}{(1+0.08)^{5}}$

$NPV=-336,875+ 92,592.59 + 70,301.78 + 60,331.25 + 81,588.31+96,642.81$

$NPV=64,581.75$

So, the net present value of this project is $64,581.75

Best of luck.
