Answer:
$7,714
Explanation:
The computation of the cost of good sold under LIFO method is shown below
But before that following calculations need to be done
Goods sold = Beginning inventory + Purchases - Ending inventory
= 114 + (399 + 57) - 190
= 380 units
Now 380 units sold would include 57 units of July 22 purchases and balance i.e. (380-57) 323 units of July 7 purchases
So, cost of goods sold
= (57 × 22) + (323 ×20)
= $7,714
Answer: $498
Explanation:
A Put is an option that will only be exercised if the price of the underlying security which is the stock in this case, falls below the current price of $58.
This means that we will not include the 70% chance of increase in our calculation.
In a contract, there are 100 shares.
Expected profit = Contract price - (Prob. of dropping by 10% * 10% of stock) - (Prob. of dropping by 20% * 20% of stock)
= 730 - ( 20% * 10% * 58 * 100) - (10% * 20% * 58 * 100)
= 730 - 116 - 116
= $498
Answer and Explanation:
An increase in the number of firms increases the demand elasticity. As the demand elasticity increases from 2 to 3 it means you could encounter less demand if product prices are increased. At a demand elasticity of -3, it is regarded as inelastic demand and a change in price will not affect the demand for the product as customers are still likely to patronize the product example gasoline. Due to its high demand, an increase in price will not readily affect the demand for it. Therefore if you are to change the price from $10 at 2 to 3 demand elasticity increase, the percentage of increase from 2 to 3 is given as.
3-2/2 X 100 = 50%
The new charge (x) at -3 demand elasticity = 50%/3 = 0.66666666
The increase in the new charge is therefore $10 + $10x = $10 + $10(0.166666) = $11.67
Answer:
b. work to identify root causes, not just symptoms.
Explanation:
The main thing on which Joseph Juran focused was on quality, how it could be improved in planning, and performing properly.
This provided for the quality controls, plans, improvements which could be made, but it did not work on finding the causes behind the lack that why it could not be achieved.
