Answer:
The product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Explanation:
The lower-of-cost-or-market (LCM) method is a method of recording the inventory of a company which requires that the inventory cost of the company must recorded at whichever is lower between the inventory's original cost or current market price.
Applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the amount per unit at whcih product 2005WSC should be reported can be determined as follows:
Net realizable value (NRV) = Selling price per unit - Cost of disposal per unit = $30 - $3 = $27
Replacement cost (RC) = $26
NRV - Profit Margin = $27 - ($30 * 40%) = $15
Cost per unit = $27
Note that the market is the middle value of Net realizable value (NRV), $27; Replacement cost (RC), $26; and "NRV - Profit Margin", $15. Since the Replacement cost (RC) of $26 is the middle value, that the market value.
Since the market value of $26 per unit is lower than Cost per unit of $27, by applying lower-of-cost-or-market, the product 2005WSC should be reported at $26 per unit.
Answer:
E) none of the above
Explanation:
It is an example of peak pricing.
Peak pricing is when consumers pay higher during periods of high demand.
It is reasonable to assume that demand for on campus parking would be higher from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, than between 5:00 PM to 10:00 PM. This explains why prices are higher between 8 am - 5pm

Answer
This new position as a first line manager will require him to operate his departments. This role requires him to assign tasks, manage the work flow, monitor the quality of work, solve the employees problems and keep informing the middle and executive managers on challenges and success on the ground level of the company.
Explanations
First-line managers provide firsthand information on true challenges and can offer better and workable solutions. This is because they have the immediate view of the outcomes of the policies, strategies, marketing approaches and production capabilities of the company. They have the ear of upper managers, where they will offer solutions that can improve the processes in the company and the procedures. In addition to that, first-line managers are expected by the work-group employees to protect them from policies and initiatives which are unreasonable.
Answer:
a. 1. You would want the regulatory boards to see more competition, so you would argue that the relevant market is all toys, which is as broad as possible. This would make it less likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
b. 2. You would want to use the narrowest definition of the market, which would be dolls. This would make it more likely that the merger would violate merger guidelines.
Explanation:
a. In order to avoid anti-trust laws, it would be best that Mattel convinces the authorities that the relevant category is all toys not just a subsection. This will show that the toys made by the new company would have a lot of competition from other toy makers across the board which would reduce their chances of being a monopoly and violate merger guidelines.
b. As the bid is unsolicited, Hasbro might want to defend against it. In which case their strategy should be the exact opposite of that of Mattel and they should try to convince the regulatory boards that they would be in the narrowest of markets which would be dolls. This would mean that the merger has a strong chance of leading to a monopoly and would violate merger guidelines.
