Answer:

Provided in Explanation

Explanation:

This is a very general question however I’ll try to answer it to the best of my knowledge.

If I use my own assumptions then these will be the Projections:

Selling Price         $79.99  Selling Price         $69.99

Cost of Sales/unit $40.00  Cost of Sales/unit $40.00

Expenses/unit $15.00  Expenses/unit $15.00

   

Demand @ $79.99 1000 Demand @ $69.99 1200

   

Sales         $79,990.00  Sales         $83,988.00

Cost of Sales $40,000.00  Cost of Sales $48,000.00

Expenses $15,000.00  Expenses $18,000.00

Profit        $24,990.00        Profit         $17,988.00

The final decision however relies on the Price Elasticity of the Product. If the Product is Price elastic then lowering the Price will lead to a significant rise in Demand. However if the Product is Price inelastic then lowering the Price will not lead to a significant rise in Demand and thus profit margins will be lowered. If the Product is Price inelastic then it is better to increase prices in order to gain more profits. In the case of Unit Elasticity the change in Demand will be at the same proportion as price change so it won’t be of any use to change the Price.

During the year, Trombley Incorporated has the following inventory transactions.
Furkat [3]

Answer:

a. Ending inventory = $162, Cost of Sales = $593, Gross Profit = $478

b. Ending inventory = $227, Cost of Sales = $528, Gross Profit = $543

c. Ending inventory = $492.30, Cost of Sales = $557.94 , Gross Profit = $513.06

d. FIFO

Explanation:

FIFO

Ending inventory = 18 units × $9   = $162

                                Total               = $162

Cost of Sales = 11 units × $13 = $143

                         16 units × $12= $192

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                           3 units × $9 = $27

                         Total              = $593

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $593

                   = $1,071 - $593

                   = $478

LIFO

Ending inventory = 11 units × $13    = $143

                                 7 units × $12   =  $84

                                 Total               = $227

Cost of Sales = 9 units × $12 = $108

                         21 units × $11 = $231

                         21 units × $9 = $189

                         Total              = $528

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $528

                   = $1,071 - $528

                   = $543

Weighted-average cost

First determine the average cost.

Average cost = Total Cost / Total units

                      = $ 755 / 69

                      = $10.94

Ending inventory = Units Remaining × Average Price

                             = 45 units × $10.94

                             = $492.30

Cost of Sales = Units Sold × Average Cost

                      = 51 units × $10.94

                      = $557.94

Gross Profit = Sales less Cost of Sales

                   = (51 units × $21) - $557.94

                   = $1,071.00 - $557.94

                   = $513.06

worty [1.4K]

Answer: Arbitrator

           

Explanation: In simple words, arbitrator refers to an individual who is officially appointed by the court to settle dispute between two parties. Both the parties have to agree to the decision made by the arbitrator and it is legally enforceable in the court as well.  

Arbitration is a mechanism during which a conflict is settled by a neutral arbitrator whose judgment has been decided or declared by the respondents to the conflict will be definitive and binding. Testing and challenges of arbitration judgments are minimal.

Arbitration is regularly used in customer and employ ability issues in some nations such as United States, in which arbitration may be required by employment terms or legal agreements which can include an exemption of the chance to bring an allegation.

Mariulka [41]
We are asked to solve for the interest during the year given that it is compounded monthly, we are given with the formula A = P(1+r)^n. The solution is shown below;
A = P (1+r)^n
A = $5,000 (1+ 3.5/12)^(12*1)
A = $5,000 (1.000292)^12
A = $5,177.84
