Answer:

A Recession happened.

Explanation:

When the market sees a recession we see an increase in the unemployment rate due to cyclical unemployment whenever there in a business cycle even though the labor force was constant but in a recession companies face a lot of costs which become higher than their revenue so for example when there is a recession the cost of producing 1 more unit is actually higher than the revenue a firm gets from producing that 1 unit because marginal cost increases at a decreasing rate so they have to lay off people at a firm on that unit of production to maximize revenues.

Levart [38]

Answer:

Ending inventory is $424,045

Cost of goods sold is $889,955

Explanation:

Retail Inventory method is used to estimate the value of inventory using retail price of the unit of inventory.

As per given data

                                                   Cost           Retail

Beginning inventory               $370,000   $515,000

Net purchases                        $890,000   $ 1,280,000

Freight-in                                $54,000

Net markups                                                $55,000

Net markdowns                                           $25,000

Net sales                                                      $1,235,000

Cost of Purchase = 890,000 + 54,000 = $944,000

Retail Price of Purchases = Net Purchases Retail + ( Net Markup ) = $1280,000 + ( 55,000 - 25,000 ) = 1,310,000

Cost to retail Percentage = ( $944,000 / $1,310,000 ) x 100 = 72.06%

Closing Inventory = Purchases + Net Markup - Sales = $1,280,000 + ( $944,000 / $1,310,000 ) - $1,235,000 = $75,000

                                      Retail           Cost

Beginning inventory  $515,000   $370,000

Net purchases           <u>$75,000</u>     <u> $54,045</u>  ( $75,000 x 72.06% )

Ending Inventory       <u>$590,000</u>   <u>$424,045</u>

Closing Inventory = Opening + Purchases - Closing = $370,000 + ( 890,000 + 54,000 ) - 424,045 = $889,955

padilas [110]

Explanation:

Given:

                         Oakland     Los Angeles  

Cost Housing       $565        $1200

Food                     $545        $655

Health Care          $245        $495

Taxes                    $450         $625

Other Necessities $350        $495

Find:

Total monthly saving

Computation:

Saving in house = $1200 - $565 = $635

Saving in food = $655 - $545 = $110

Saving in health care = $495 - $245 = $250

Saving in taxes = $625 - $450 = $175

Saving in necessities = $495 - $350 = $145

Total monthly saving = $635+$110+$250+$175+$145

Total monthly saving = $1,315
