The market for laundry detergents in a country has several​ players, each with a slightly differentiated product. Squeaky Clean​

Inc. produces and sells​ 20,000 tons of household laundry detergent in this market at a price of​ $4 per pack. Alex​ Dawson, the operations manager of the​ firm, thinks that a​ 50-cent increase in the price per pack of the laundry detergent will increase the​ firm's profits. The marketing​ manager, Rick​ Arnold, however, feels that an increase in price will adversely affect the demand for its product and profits will actually decline. Which of the​ following, if​ true, will strengthen​ Alex's argument?
a. Shares of Squeaky Clean are being actively traded in the stock market.
b. Squeaky Clean has recently launched a new range of car washes.
c. The current prices of most of Squeaky​ Clean's products are lower than the prices of competing brands.
d. The demand for industrial detergents is likely to increase in the near future.
e. A market survey shows that a close rival has now overtaken Squeaky Clean in quarterly sales.

Answer:

c. The current prices of most of Squeaky​ Clean's products are lower than the prices of competing brands.

Explanation:

If this statement was given to be true, it would be evident that Squeaky Clean​ has a competitive advantage based on the lower price, meaning consumers are probably opting for this brand because of the competitive price.

So, if they increase the price for 50 cents, consumers wouldn't perceive it as a deal-breaker, as their median price will still remain lower than those of competitors'.

Therefore, this slight increase in the price of one product will be significant for overall profit.

An auditor client sells 15 to 20 units of product annually. A large portion of the annual sales occur in the last month of the f
otez555 [7]

Answer:

B.

Explanation:

Based on the information given that a large portion of sales occur at the last month of the year, a key audit concern or risk would be the revenue or sales cutoff. This concern is on the recognition of revenue in the appropriate period as most of the sales are recorded in the last month of the year. The risk exist that such sales are recognized to meet up with the yearly sales target of the organization. The performance of analytical procedure would not be effective as the results (trend) over the past 5 years have been similar. A test of internal controls at an interim date may also not be effective as there may be multiple level connivance to ensure that sales target are met. Also, the review of period end compensation of bonuses paid may not address the identified risk as such option B which deals with revenue recognition is the most appropriate option.

aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

30000 units.

Explanation:

Given:

Parwin Corporation plans to sell 29,000 units during August.

We can assume it as Cost of good sold.

If the company has 11,000 units on hand at the start of the month. We can assume it as Beginning inventory

And plans to have 12,000 units on hand at the end of the month. We can assume it as Ending inventory.

Question asked:

How many units must be produced during the month ?

Solution:

We can determine unit must be produced (purchase) during the month by this formula:

Cost of good sold = Beginning inventory + Purchase - Ending inventory

29000 = 11000 + Purchase - 12000

29000 = - 1000 + Purchase

Adding both sides by 1000

30000 = Purchase

Therefore, as Parwin Corporation plans to sell 29,000 units during August, he must produced 30000 units during the month.
