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.

A point outside (to the right of) the production possibilities curve of a nation implies that this nation is using its resources
PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

is not attainable for this nation

Explanation:

The Production possibilities frontiers is a curve that shows the various combination of two goods a company can produce when all its resources are fully utilised.  

The PPC is concave to the origin. This means that as more quantities of a product is produced, the fewer resources it has available to produce another good. As a result, less of the other product would be produced. So, the opportunity cost of producing a good increase as more and more of that good is produced.

Point outside the curve or to the right of the curve means that the production level is not attainable given the level of resources

Points inside the production possibilities curve means that the nations resources are not being fully utilised

Factors that cause the PPF to shift  

1. changes in technology.  

2. changes in available resources.  

3. changes in the labour force.

Use the information below to calculate the number of orders per year when using the EOQ: Annual demand for an item is 43,000 uni
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The closest answer is 49.

Explanation:

Given that,

Annual demand, D = 43,000 units

Ordering cost, O = $200

Per unit cost of the item = $50

Annual holding cost, H =  annual holding rate × Per unit cost of the item

                                      = 35% × $50

                                      = $17.5

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times D\times O}{H} }

EOQ=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 43,000\times 200}{17.5} }

              = 991.39

              = 992 units

Therefore,

Number of orders per year = Annual demand ÷ EOQ

                                             = 43,000 ÷ 992

                                             = 43.34

Hence, the closest answer is 49 and this is not given in the question.

Builtrite's upper management has been comparing their books to industry standards and came up with the following question: Why i
Vesna [10]

Answer:

Builtrite has higher than average operating expenses

Explanation:

Subtracting cost of goods sold from net sales will give you gross profit. The reason of high gross profit could be company is able to sell its products at a higher price or it is able to keep its cost of goods sold at a lower level than industry standards.

A higher-than-industry-average gross profit margin increases your chances of generating a net profit provided that you are able to keep your expenses within industry average levels.

Operating profit is the pre-tax profit or in other words it is calculated by subtracting operating expenses from the gross profit. Operating profit margin is equal to operating income divided by the total revenue. A lower operating margin despite of having higher gross profit is because the company is not able to control its operating expenses or in other words they are incurring higher operating expenses as compare to industry.
