Answer:

A. January 2016

B. May 2016

C. June 2016

Explanation:

Req. A

From the data table above, it is easy to understand that only 10,000 mobile phones were sold in the month of January.

Req. B

From the information above, the highest sales level was in the month of May with a 12,000 smartphones.

Req. C

We know, a monopolist maximizes its profit when marginal revenue equals to the marginal cost. MR = MC.

In that case, two months had equal marginal revenue = marginal cost, i.e., February and June.

According to the maximizing rule, at which point there are a high number of sales and MR = MC, that sales point is considered as maximizing profit.

Therefore, in the month of June, the sales were high with 11,000 smartphones. Hence, June was the firm's maximizing profit.

Carol and Dave each purchase 100 shares of stock of Burgundy, Inc., a publicly owned corporation, in July for $10,000 each. Caro
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

See below

Explanation:

From the above information, we can deduce that the stock owned by Carol and Dave falls in value by $2,000 I.e ($10,000 - $8,000) ; it is to be noted that Carol solely has realised and recognized loss of $2,000.

Here, one of the cogent factors that determines whether a sale has taken place is if realization has been effected. Here, stock sold by Carol qualifies as a disposition while the decline in the value of stock sold by Dave does not qualify as disposition.

With regards to the foregoing, we can conclude that the federal income tax law treat the decline in the value of the stock differently for Carol and Dave.

gladu [14]

Answer:

56.46%

Explanation:

The computation of the gross profit percentage is shown below

Gross profit percentage is

= (Sales - cost of goods sold) ÷ (Sales) × 100

where,

Sales is $850,000

And, the cost of goods sold is $344,600

Now placing these values to the above formula

So, the gross profit percentage is

= ($850,000 - $344,600) ÷ ($850,000) × 100

= $505,400  ÷ $850,000 × 100

= 56.46%
