Answer:

The correct answer is option (A) $2,600

Explanation:

Given data;

The data given can be tabulated below for easy understanding

Pairs                        Flow         Distance          Flow distance

X-y                              30            20                     600

Y-Z                            280             10                     2800

Z-X                            180             10                      1800

Total flow = 600 +2800 + 1800 = 5200

To calculate the total weekly cost, we use the formula;

Total weekly  cost is =  Total flow * Cost of per load

                                    = 5200 *0.5

                                     $2,600

Assume that you are a high-level manager for a shoe manufacturer. You know that your firm could increase its profit margin by pr
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

The issue here is that you need to balance your company's profits and possible negative due to bad press.

On one side (the good and righteous side), if you do not produce shoes in Asia, your long term survival economic is doubtful, but people view your company as a company that does the right thing no matter what. Will it increase sales? Theoretically it should, but in practice it doesn't. Are Nike sales hurt because each shoe is produced in an Asian country that pays $0.25 per day? No, they aren't. The same applies to Reebok, Adidas, Puma, New Balance and every single major shoe manufacturer in the world. Bad press hurt tuna back in the 80's, but some companies are not affected by it.

The alternative (the evil, dark side of the force side) results in your company being able to survive on the long term. It will not necessarily mean that your company will grow and become the world's largest shoe manufacturer, but you will be able to survive and continue to operate.

There is also a trick that you can use to avoid reputational damage and bad press, and that is to establish a foreign subsidiary in Indonesia using a different name. Then your foreign subsidiary sells you the manufactured goods, and the blame fall son the subsidiary. Believe it or not, that simple solution is used by most corporations including clothing manufacturers, electronics, toys, etc.

If you analyze this from an ethical point of view, the alternative is much simpler. Producing in Indonesia (or India, or Burma, or Pakistan, or Vietnam, etc.) and paying a $100 salary will allow a family to live a very decent life and probably even prosper. They will have a much better lifestyle than the rest of their neighborhood. Each Indonesian worker represents one less poor family in Indonesia. On the other hand, American families will probably get hurt, but it is also much easier for an American worker to get another job that pays a normal wage (in US standards) and allows them to live well.

Cox Co. accounts for its inventory using the LIFO cost method. An inventory loss from a permanent market decline of $360,000 occ
kirill115 [55]

Answer:

$360,000

Explanation:

Last in first out (LIFO) is a method used in inventory where the cost of most recently purchased goods is the one to be expensed first. Also current losses are the first to be reported.

An inventory loss incurred in a quarter must not be deferred, but recorded as items within an interim must be reported in the same period they were incurred, unless it can be redeemed before the end of the fiscal year. It is not considered a temporary item.

The loss reported in May will be reported for that quarter in June.
