Answer:

The answer is: B) purchase records are not maintained.

Explanation:

There are two methods for estimating inventory costs:

  1. Gross Profit Method : uses the information from the income statement. If operating conditions remain similar, the proportion between total sales, profits and COGS should be similar (lets say profit is 30% and COGS is 70% of total sales). You can estimate your inventory costs by using the information on total sales.  
  2. Retail Method: It is used mostly by merchandising firms (retailers) that have consistent mark-ups. You have to determine the proportion between cost and retail price (lets say the COGS is 80% of the retail price). Then if you are given the retail inventory, you can determine the COGS using the proportion determined previously.

In an organic organization:_______
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

d. employees are encouraged to develop knowledge and expertise outside of their specialization.

Explanation:

An organizational structure can be defined as the process which typically involves dividing an organization into various functional units.

Basically, the organizational structure comprises of three (3) main dimensions and these are;

I. The vertical dimension: this is typically the decision-making responsibilities (decentralization and centralization).

II. The horizontal dimension: this divides the organization into subunits.

III. Integrating mechanisms: it is based typically on the strategic mechanism that controls the various subunits within an organization.

An employee can be defined as an individual who is employed by an employer of labor to perform specific tasks, duties or functions in an organization.

Basically, an employee is saddled with the responsibility of providing specific services to the organization or company where he is currently employed while being paid a certain amount of money hourly, daily, weekly, or monthly depending on the contractual agreement between the two parties (employer and employee).

In an organic organization unlike a mechanistic organisation, employees are encouraged to develop knowledge and expertise outside of their specialization rather than being static or inflexible.

To conduct an experiment, a movie theater increased movie ticket prices from $9 to $10 and measured the change in ticket sales.
AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

1. The elasticity of demand for movie tickets must be INELASTIC.

2. Demand curves become LESS elastic in the long run. This means that the ticket price increase will likely be MORE profitable in the long run.

Explanation:

1. As demand is inelastic, the percentage of price increase will be greater than the decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded, and consequently profit will increase.

2. In the long term, demand becomes inelastic. Consequently, in the long term the percentage of the price increase will continue to be greater than the percentage of decrease in the quantity of tickets demanded.

In calculating earnings per share, companies deduct preferred dividends from net income if:
Savatey [412]

Answer: Option B

Explanation: Earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income available to common shareholders with the weighted average number of shares.

Deduction of preferred dividends from net income is done only when dividends are declared by the entity, otherwise not. Preference shareholders have priority over common shareholders in case of dividends, so it will result in reduction of earnings to common shareholders but only when the dividends are declared and distributed.

Countess Corp. is expected to pay an annual dividend of $4.57 on its common stock in one year. The current stock price is $73.59
Serjik [45]

Answer:

The cost of equity is 9.91%

Explanation:

The constant growth model of the DDM is used to calculate the price of the share or the fair value per share based on a constant growth in dividends and the required rate of return which is also known as cost of equity.

Plugging in the available values in the formual we can calculate the cost of equity or the required rate of return.

73.59 = 4.57 / (r - 0.037)

73.59 * (r - 0.037) = 4.57

73.59r - 2.72283 = 4.57

73.59r = 4.57 + 2.72283

r = 7.29283 / 73.59

r = 0.0991 or 9.91%
