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.

Answer:
Contraction cycle or Recession
Explanation:
The cyclical unemployment is due to the cycles of economy ( expantion:Grow and contraction: recession) Under these circumstances unemployment is considered normal as the economy cannot sustain itself always in an expansion cycle.
Answer:
WACC (CAPM) 5.2%
WACC (ICAPM) 5.03%
Explanation:
The weighted average cost of capital is
Ke * E/ E+D + Kd * (1 -t) D / E+D
Ke = Rf + (Rm - Rf) *
Ke (CAPM) = 3.50% + (8% - 3.50%) * 1.12
Ke (CAPM) = 7.532%
Kd (CAPM) = Kd (1-t)
Kd (CAPM) = 7.60 (1-39%)
Kd (CAPM) = 4.636%
WACC (ICAPM) : 7.532 * 20% + 4.636 * 80%
WACC (CAPM) = 5.2164%
Ke (ICAPM) = 3.50% + (8% - 3.50%) * 0.86
Ke (ICAPM) = 6.596%
Kd (ICAPM) = Kd (1-t)
Kd (ICAPM) = 7.60 (1-39%)
Kd (ICAPM) = 4.636%
WACC (ICAPM) : 6.596 * 20% + 4.636 * 80%
WACC (CAPM) = 5.03%
